Fonts and images - freebies and deals
We appreciate that not everyone has the money to purchase fonts and images, or fully understands copyright infringement laws, so to help you, we have provided links to discounted fonts and images from reputable websites and platforms. These recommendations are from companies we use ourselves, and all licenses are for commercial use on end products unless stated otherwise.
Our aim is to keep this page up to date with the current offers and featured products, so that you don’t have to visit all of the platforms and websites regularly or sign up to email alerts then find you are inundated with email offers.
The calendar provides information when websites and platforms update their deals or run one dollar events (these are limited time offers). For further information, you can click on the event and you will see clickable links to their websites.
DISCLAIMER:
We have used some affiliate links. These cost nothing to use, however, we may receive a small referral/commission if you go on to purchase an item.

On offer, Samantha Family Font – w/c 07/11/22
If you have not heard of the “Samantha Font Family, by Laura Worthington”, then you are in for a treat. This elegant script font is on offer on Creative Fabrica’s website, starting at just $17.00 USD for one typeface. Samantha’s bright, cheerful energy shines through whether it’s set in short blocks of text, or enhanced at display sizes with over 1100 alternates (glyphs) and swash characters that vary in size and complexity, making it ideal for extra-special occasions like weddings, parties or formal invitations. If you pay for all access with Creative Fabrica, this font is included in your subscription. You just need to remember if you decide to cancel your subscription, your license is no longer valid.
If you click on the images you will be taken to the font on Creative Fabrica’s website.
SAMANTHA FAMILY
The Samantha family font includes 60 ornaments and 45 catchwords, plus lining numerals and old-style numerals, and even swashed figures. On offer at $37.00 USD, this bundle has everything you need, and as you will see by the full price that it is a bargain. Included is:
- Samantha Upright
- Samantha Italic
- Samantha Bold Italic
- Samantha Bold Upright
Note, if you purchase this font, you do not need to purchase the Craft font. Samantha Craft was a later addition to the Samantha family, and it is optimized for die cutting machines. Now that Cricut have released offset within Cricut Design Space, you can change the thickness of the font easily. Furthermore, if you own another brand of cutting machine, you can quite easily use a software program or an app to change the stroke of the font. You can even use the free Phonto app on iOS or Android to edit text.
SAMANTHA UPRIGHT
If you cannot stretch your money to purchase the Samantha Family font, Samantha Upright is a great font to start with. As highlighted above, with the offset function in Cricut Design Space, this provides you with a regular text and a bold text, effectively giving you 2 in 1 fonts for just $17 USD. It is worth noting, however, that you won’t get all of the glyphs and you cannot change your text to italic. Also, it doesn’t look as if the Italic font is sold on its own through Creative Fabrica.
SAMANTHA CRAFT
If you are looking for a good all round font that you can just type, weld and cut on your Cricut cutting machine, or on another brand of cutting machine, then the Samantha Craft font is the perfect choice for you and is too is a great price at just $17 USD. Again, there will be limited glyphs, but you will not be disappointed.

The Hungry JPEG
The Hungry JPEG only release one freebie a week and this is time limited. They do however have around 800 FREEBIES, which are unique to them. The downside is you have to scroll through circa 70 pages to view all of the FREE fonts and images. This link will take you to their freebies.
One dollar deals – w/c 07/11/22
The Hungry JPEG has over 3k of fonts and images in their one dollar deals. One dollar deals are available up to one month.
We spend a great deal of time scrolling through the one dollar deals (200+ pages), and we can confirm some designers have $1 USD offers on the Hungry JPEG which are not available at this price on other platforms. An example is the first image… “Christmas Wreaths by Salty Galaxy” – this design is approximately $18 USD on other platforms. Another thing we have noticed is The Hungry JPEG tends to have more designers who offer offer dollar deals on mock-up scene creators, watercolour illustrations and design elements/icons. We have included a few designs and fonts below and recommend that you visit The Hungry JPEG’s one dollar deals regularly, and scroll through their website if you have any spare time on your hands. It is however frustrating that you have to scroll through all the pages one by one where the search is limited, but the more you visit, you will get to know the designers, and will be able to do a global search to see if they have anything in the monthly dollar deals.
Depending on your device, you can use your mouse or finger to swipe left and right on the images below, and each image includes a direct link to the product as you probably won’t find it by using the search bar.

Single line fonts explained
If you are looking to use your Cricut cutting machine (or another brand of cutting machine) to write, draw, foil or engrave, you will need to purchase specific single line fonts, or use those provided within the software that you use with your cutting machine.
Single line fonts differ to ordinary fonts, as they do not have an outline, so they cannot be used in word processing programs on Windows/Mac machines.
There are single line fonts which work in Cricut Design Space and other cutting software programs, and these fonts also work in the professional graphic editing suites such as Adobe and CorelDraw. Before making a purchase of any single line fonts, it is advisable to check that the font works in the software you are using, as it is unlikely you will get a refund for an incorrect purchase.
You also need to check whether the fonts are true single line (hairline) fonts and not signature or writing fonts. These should not be confused as you will end up with an outline of the font if you try to cut a signature/writing font.
The table below shows an example of a signature/writing font and single line font.
DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, due to the number of software updates that Cricut releases for the Design Space Apps on iOS, Android and Desktop, we cannot confirm whether single line fonts will continue to be supported, which is why we recommend you check first before purchasing.
Single Line Fonts (SLF)
There are some beautiful single line fonts available to purchase if you know what you are looking for. One of our favourite companies who we purchase our fonts from is called Single Line Fonts (SLF). Below are some of their featured fonts, and these are perfect for writing inside cards with pens, or for using with the foil transfer tool on the Cricut Joy and Explore machines. If you happen to own a Cricut Maker, in addition to writing and foiling options, you can use the engraving tip on 2 mm acrylic blanks, or engrave metal pet tags and bracelets, as well as the Cricut aluminium sheets.
We are planning to incorporate some of these beautiful single line fonts into our NEW designs, and we will include the font information under the details of the design when they are released.
If you select any one of the above images you will be taken to Single Line Fonts (SLF) website. In addition, their website includes detailed instructions for all of the software their fonts work in, including Cricut Design Space.
Missy Meyer
Another font designer who creates incredible single line fonts is Missy Meyer. She has a store with Font Bundles and regularly puts some of her fonts into the one dollar event over on the sister website Design Bundles which is held twice a month (always the last Wed and last Sat of the month). After adding several types of single line fonts Missy has included these fonts into a bundle which makes them more affordable if you are likely to use single line fonts on a regular basis to write, draw, engrave or foil. Again, we plan to incorporate some of these fonts into our designs, as there appears to be a niche for single line designs with text if you do not use the original fonts and images within Cricut Design Space.
