One of the most common questions we get is where to find great graphics and cut files for crafting. Well, we’re spilling our secrets today: we’ve been using Creative Fabrica as our source for adorable graphics and project inspiration for years! Today we’re sharing seven of the different ways that we use our Creative Fabrica membership for crafting.

What is Creative Fabrica?
Creative Fabrica is an online marketplace for digital designs for all of sorts of crafts. Founded in 2016 and based in Amsterdam, they’re on a mission to provide graphics, fonts, designs and more at a fair price. They have hundreds of thousands of designs created by over 20000 designers from around the world. If you’re an artist or designer you can sell on Creative Fabrica as well.
What can I Make with Creative Fabrica Designs?
We turn to our Creative Fabrica membership whenever we’re looking for cute designs for Cricut crafts, beautiful graphics for decoupage or sublimation, 3D SVG files for our laser cutters, new fonts to use in our projects and more. We have seven different examples of projects we’ve crafted with Creative Fabrica designs below!
Do I have to buy a membership?
The short answer is no! You can buy individual designs for your projects.
However…
We strongly recommend the membership: currently at $3.99 per month, it pays itself off after just a couple of projects!
If you’re not ready to subscribe, visit the freebies section, where you can find thousands of designs for free.
Can I Create my own designs?
Yes! Creative Fabrica Studio lets you access thousands of elements to make your own designs including graphics and videos. One of their exclusive features is a transparent PNG creator called Spark AI. You enter a detailed prompt and the program creates an image for you in seconds.
I tried… “Watercolor scene of two young white women crafting at a worktable in the craft room.” Out came four fun designs including this one – kind of looks like Sonja and I 😀 .
We could then print out this design to put in a frame, to layer onto other elements, sublimate it onto a mug or make invitations with it. The possibilities are endless!
Seven Crafts We’ve Made with Creative Fabrica Designs
Decoupage Projects
Upcyling thrift store finds is one of my favorite crafting pastimes. While you can use napkins or decoupage papers, you can also use graphics print on your printer at home! How cute is this little scarecrow stepstool I crafted with Creative Fabrica graphics?
Image Transfers
Similary, you can use colorful graphics to create signs and embellish other surfaces using image transfer methods. We found this beautiful watercolor hot cocoa graphic in a Valentine’s Coffee bundle on Creative Fabrica.
Cricut Crafts
For whatever occasion, Creative Fabrica has beautiful SVG files that you can use with your cutting machine (such as a Cricut or Silhouette). Here are just a few of our favorite Mother’s Day designs.
Coloring Pages and Booklets
I recently turned to Creative Fabrica to find cute Easter themed coloring pages. I printed them out in and included them in Easter baskets for my nieces along with some pencil crayons. You can find thousands of coloring pages and coloring books for all occasions!
Laser Crafts
We’re recently acquired laser cutting machines and love that we can scroll thousands of beautiful laser engraving files to use. Sonja cut this handy phone stand from walnut plywood recently.
Sublimation Crafts
We’ve previously talked about what is sublimation and the different ways you can make beautiful crafts with gorgeous graphics. From mugs, hats, throw pillows to coasters and more there are thousands of unique crafts you make with the sublimation technique. Creative Fabrica has millions of graphics you can use for your sublimation projects such as these:
Fonts for all your Projects
If you love to make your own art that includes words (typography), you may be interested in finding beautiful and unique fonts. Creative Fabrica has over 160000 fonts to choose from. Here are some of our favorite fonts from Creative Fabrica:
These are just a few of the ways in which we’ve used our Creative Fabrica membership. We didn’t even touch on the thousands of needle art projects you can make (ie. embroidery, crochet, knitting, cross stitch, macrame, quilting and more) or other ways we use Creative Fabrica in our business (ie. mockups, branding templates).
So whether you’re an upcycler, Cricut or paper crafter or want to try and create your own graphics with AI, check out Creative Fabrica for all your crafting design needs!
