have to say... |
I
have never had so much fun or been so enthusiastic about a
program in my life as I am with Inkscape. I'm doing things I
would never have dreamed of tackling before, all be it at the
baby stage lol!
Madeleine
Inkscape is a powerful and complex program
and with the help of excellent tutorials from Black Cat members
and on the internet, I have never struggled to use it.
The ease with which you can make designs
that are unique, instead of having to resort to using other
peoples' or built-in designs, you can truly call yourself a
designer!
I
would say that it is a 'grown up' piece of software, made even
better by the ability to cut straight from it by using Signcut.

Much to my surprise I have
really enjoyed learning what a powerful and versatile program
Inkscape, is under Dawns guidance and with the pooling of
knowledge from the members. We are rapidly building up what will
be an extensive resource which will enable us all to get the
best from our cutters I have been impressed with the ease I can
cut my creations with Signcut

The combination of a Black Cat Cougar
and Inkscape truly gives one unlimited options for designing
cutting templates. As a lover of Photoshop and Illustrator other
cutting software has left me disappointed in its limitations.
Not with Inkscape, a very potent and flexible software for both
the beginner and the more advanced user, and of course not
forgetting the superb support and video tutorials from Dawn and
her team. They will take Inkscape to a realm that is a crafter’s
dream!
Linda
The combination of Inkscape with Signcut
has proved very successful indeed. Inkscape is powerful and I
feel as though I have only touched on what is available to me
but, nonetheless, already it has enabled me to do everything I
have asked of it. With all the help available on the forum from
Dawn and other members it has made the learning process very
easy.

OOO, OOO cheesey one here.
Blackcat, Inkscape & Signcut - go together
like apple pie & ice cream
(think about it....... nearly there.....
yep you got it, loads of stuff goes into making apple pie & ice
cream but you only see the pie & ice cream on the plate)
OR
Blackcat & Inkscape, GREAT, go get them
now!!

Quite a number of crafters know me as a
designer of templates and know that I would not give praise if I
did not believe it truly deserved. The fantastic Black Cat
Cougar Cutter that I purchased from Thyme Graphics is fantastic,
both in its appearance and in its cutting strength. It truly is
one beautiful machine, well built and beautifully designed. As
well the incredible support given by both Dawn and Colin is
second to none, never impatient, always there if you need them.
The video tutorials produced by Dawn are so beautifully
uncomplicated to follow that a beginner can start immediately on
receiving their cutter. I cannot recall when I have received
such personal support … actually, thinking about it, I never
have. Purchasing a cutter from Thyme Graphics guarantees that
you too can create wonders and if you are into selling either
templates or die-cuts then you will produce items that buyers
will come back for again and again. Moreover, another bonus is
the marvellous templates created by both Dawn and other
fantastic designers, freely shared both in the Black Cat forum
and in the Thyme Graphics Forum. Oh! I almost forgot! Any
updates are freely given too! Now that is not something one
always receives!
Help is always there – guaranteed!
Thank you Dawn and
Colin
