Christine Schinagl, Cutting for Business

Since 2015, Christine Schinagl has been helping crafters start and run craft businesses through her blog, Cutting for Business. As a Silhouette and Cricut crafter herself, she has a unique take on what works and what doesn't work in the craft business world. She also enjoys teaching other crafters how to create digital SVG designs, available through the Design with Me series.

I was staring at the mess in my craft room the other day (like I usually do instead of cleaning it…) and thought to myself. If there was such a thing as a Messy Crafters Club – I’d probably be elected president! 😂 I think it was at that moment that I got the idea …

When I started designing this Kisses Fix Everything SVG cut file, it was actually intended to be pet related. Then, one of my girls asked why I was designing a Valentine’s Day cut file in December. Another child chimed in saying it looked more farmhouse style than Valentine’s Day. The more I looked at the …

Everyone has priorities in life, crafters just have… different priorities! Today, I’m sharing a Crafting Before Adulting SVG cut file that I recently created, while staring at two loads of unfolded laundry hanging out of the dryer. (Can you relate?)

Boho rainbows have been trending for many months now. After sharing a tutorial to create them in my How to Design SVGs course, I wanted to share a freebie over here. I couldn’t decide which rainbow would be most popular here on Cutting for Business, so I’m sharing an entire set of free Christmas Boho …

The farmhouse trend is still going strong, and even seems to dominate some styles and markets. Can you believe that this post on farmhouse sayings remains one of the most visited articles on the Cutting for Business blog, years after it was written and shared? Today, I’m happy to share this brand new, free Farm …

I’m sure that everyone will agree: The best part of Christmas really is giving. And today, I’m giving you a free Christmas SVG. I have a lot of fonts, but only seem to use about 20 of them regularly. Lately, when I am searching for a font, I start at the end of the list …

Today, I’m sharing a free pet rescue SVG, you could make it work for cats, dogs, farm animals, and more. I’m sure you know that we have two rescue dogs – that I honestly think the world of. Rescuing the dogs has been fulfilling for our family. Neither of our dogs was socialized well when …
