Creating SVG Files

I am new to the creating part of SVG files.  I am trying to learn all I can about it.  I am using a program called Primo PDF.  So far it seems to be a free program and so very easy to use.  If you want to try it, here is a link to the one I downloaded.  Primo PDF Converter

There is a program called Inkscape that seems to be the FREE go to program for a lot of people who are creating the SVG files.  I will include a link to that program here.  Inkscape

What I have learned so far is, in order to make an SVG file (Scalable Vector Graphic)  You have to have a file that you can import into Inkscape.  I have found that using PDF files works pretty well. Now I am no expert at this and there may very well be  a much easier way to do this but this is what I am doing at the present time.  I find or make a file I want and then I create a PDF file out of it, then I import that PDF file into Inkscape and save as an SVG file.  So far it is working for me but I am looking into more ways of doing it and if anyone has a better way of doing it, I would welcome any and all advise and comments.

I think there may be a way to import a Jpg into Inkscape but not real sure at this time.

I welcome you to come back often because as I learn I will share.

Thanks for visiting today and I hope I have helped in some small way.

Subway Art - Police Officer and Wedding

Lately I have found myself very interested in Subway Art.  I decided to give it a try.  I made a file for my Son who just recently graduated from the Police Academy.  I framed it in an 8.5 x 11 certificate frame and I am quite pleased with the way it turned out.

It is hard to find anything to acknowledge the great job our police officers do and I am super excited about my creation.  This can simply be printed and framed at any size or cut on your electronic cutting machine.  If you would like one of your own custom SVG files, or any other cutting file type visit my Etsy store and send me a message.  I am always happy to do custom orders. :)




I figured while I was at it I might as well show another popular needed file, so here we have one for Weddings.  I just love making the art and plan to do many more.  You will also find this in my Etsy store. :)
