There are 196 Harry Potter svgs here, but the page can be difficult to search...  the next buttons are having issues currently.  They are located under the theme "movies" as well.
There are AMAZING images here.  Try a variety of searches until the next buttons are working properly again - for instance, search Hogwarts, Ravenclaw, castle, etc.

You have to sign up for her emails first.  Click on the link in the email confirming you want to subscribe, and then you will get a second email with a download link.  
It's worth the hassle, in my opinion - this is the best hogwarts crest cut file I have found for free.  :-)

It's a bit of a process to get to the free files here - but once you get through all the emails and verifications, there are two free files in the resource area.  This one, and one "firebolt fund".  There are a variety of other svgs you will be able to access as well.

Making A 6 Generation Family Tree With Cricut


Quick Tips:

  • Use print then cut!!  I used the draw feature - but Print then Cut would look almost identical and take a fraction of the time!
  • I would also use a posterboard or thicker board next time - rather than the white kraft roll paper I used for this.  (A couple of years later, I redid this on a matte board )
  • The font I used for Drawing was Montepetrum.  (Long list of single line fonts that write can be found here )
  • The frames are super lightweight with plexiglass instead of glass.  I found them on sale at Michaels last year.
  • If you happen to be connected to my genealogy, you can find all of that info here: Heather's Genealogy Notes (Click on the tabs across the top for paternal lines, maternal lines, etc, or search by surname in the search box)
  • For a step by step (ha!) literally, on how to I did the stairs  - go here.
  • The frames are 24 x 36
I used a precise v5 pen for the one on the left, and the thin tip of the leisure arts marker for the one on the right.  But I REALLY recommend just using print then cut!  I finished the last section on the one on the left with print then cut, and you can barely tell the difference between those and the ones done with the marker - and it wqas SO much faster!

When you look for Cricut Family Tree ideas, there are lots of ideas.. usually for immediate families.  I wanted to put up large displays going 8 generations back...  that I could quickly look at while working on our genealogy.  My handwriting is not great, and i did not want to hand write into a tiny chart.  So this is what I came up  with, for now.  Eventually I want to come up with something prettier - but as a reference chart, this works really well for me.  It's only six generations, but by separating my lines from my husbands lines, I was still able to get a lot of information displayed.


Making The Tree


I started with a plain tree silhouette found on google images.  
Then I created an 11.5 square, and sliced the tree into 3 sections to cut it on 12x12 paper.



For the names at the bottom, I used FontLab Pad to create my text, saved it as an svg, uploaded it, then welded it so that it would cut as once piece. 

Using FontLab Pad 
(Design Space now does a MUCH better job of using system fonts, FontLab Pad is not as necessary these days...  but I still use it, myself)



Sizes
  • The white squares for the first 5 generations are 1.878 x 0.883
  • The black backings for those squares are 1.847 x 0.944 cut 65 (that can't be right?  But I'm looking at the project in design space, and those are the measurements...)
  • The 6th generation, which is smaller, is sized 1.7 x 0.462
  • The black backing is solid, I cut 4 pieces 1,9 inches wide, and pieced them as a solid black line, down the side.

Quick Tip - How To Quickly Organize All Of Those Free SVGS


Quickly Sort SVGS From Bundles Using the Search Feature

At the top right in any windows folder, there is a search feature.  Type .svg in the search box, and it will show you all of the svgs,  You can select all the search results, move them to a new folder, and delete everything else.

When I first updated to Windows 11, the search feature stopped working for me.  I would type svg, and see no results, even though I knew there were svgs in the subfolders.  I used the suggestions on this site to troubleshoot the issue, and it now once again works great:


Quick Tips:
  • For Free Cloud Storage, Try Dropbox, One Drive And Or Google Drive
  • Folders By Theme  - Christmas, Baby, Farm, Etc
  • I  delete everything but the svg (many like to save the pngs too - they work great for print then cut)
  • Consider renaming files with designers name, and a C if it has a commercial use license
  • Download this extension to see thumbnail views of your svg files


Sort by File Type
Choose View, Sort By, and select type

Now you can easily select all the zip files, and unzip them.

Unzip Your Files
You can usually select all the zip files, right click and choose "extract all".
If that is not an option, you may need to download software to unzip files
  • winzip - Free trial (although it will continue to work after your trial is up, you will just get a nag screen every time you use it)
  • 7zip - Completely Free!
What is the MACOSX Folder?
"The __MACOSX folder is created when a Mac user creates and archive (also called a zip file) using the Mac. If the Mac user sends the zip file to another Mac user, the folder will not appear - this is a hidden folder. "

 In other words, delete it, it's not needed.  

 Delete the Extras
I delete almost everything, except the svgs.   PNG files can be better for Print Then Cut Projects, so a lot of people prefer to save those as well as the SVGs.

 View SVG Files as Thumbnails
By default, your svg files may look like html files.  You can download a simple extension that will fix that, and then you can scroll through thumbnail previews of your svgs - making it much easier to sort them!

 Sort into folders by theme

Then just drag and drop your svgs from one folder to the next.   I use my own made up folder system, and it's constantly evolving and changing.  The general idea is 

0 Holidays
2 Project Type
4 More complex project type, non cricut projects, etc
Then assorted random categories, mostly for vinyl svgs.

 I like to use cloud storage like dropbox - because then I can access the files from any device, and they are backed up if my laptop crashes.  Now that my collection is so large, I store them on a wifi enabled external hard drive, and on dropbox I keep a "Cut Now" file, of the projects I want to work on in the very near future. 

Each of my folders looks a little different inside - some have a lot more files than others, and the more files, the more subfolders I add to organize them.  For instance, my St Patricks Day Projects can all just be in one folder.  But for Christmas, I have subfolders for cards, shadow boxes, luminaries, layered paper decorations, paper villages, wreaths...

Here's a more specific look at my Valentines Day Folder
