With graduation just around the corner and a few recent posts by readers here inquiring about the cupcake wrappers, I decided to post new links for downloading these terrific files. All of these particular cupcake wrappers were designed and shared by Judy Keating, a very talented and successful owner of a Klic-N-Kut Maxx. She designs these wrappers in KNK Studio but also has exported the files in both AI and SVG formats. Those of you needing the files in DXF, should be able to use Inkscape (free from Inkscape.org) to open the SVG’s and then save as DXF for your particular software program.
As with ALL cutting files you buy or download for free, test cut them first from inexpensive cardstock. In particular, with the cupcake wrappers, be sure to check the sizing. You may need to increase or decrease to fit the actual cupcakes you make or buy. Many of these designs are quite intricate, so use a clean sticky mat to keep your paper or cardstock firmly pressed down during cutting.
Also note that there is a template/pattern file included so that you can add your own words and images to weld to the same base frame used by Judy in her designs. If you would like to share your own design with all of the other readers here or just a photo of your custom wrapper, please send it to me at smccauley45@cox.net .

For those of you new to Inkscape, spend some time researching and reading basic Inkscape tutorials so that you understand how to resize images, break apart to delete ones you don’t need, and also simplify nodes so that the files cut faster to your particular cutter.

Thanks, once again, Judy for your generous contribution to the cutting world! : )
LOVE these wrappers – thank you (and to Judy, too)!
You’re welcome! And I’ll make sure that Judy knows, too. : )
I’ve had such fun making the cupcake wrappers. Thanks to the advice and help from Sandy to get me started. Thank you, Sandy, for posting them where people can readily access them and for your continued support in my quest to learn more about my KNK Maxx. I couldn’t have done it without you.
You’re welcome! We need to come up with something else like this now.
Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in Creative Busy Hands Cricut Freebies Search List, under the Graduation post on May. 01, 2010. Thanks again.

I am absolutely blown away by the cupcake wrappers. Such hard work, patience and planning that when to the designs. And, to share it… awesome generosity! Take Care!
I will let Judy know what you said! She’s the best and I DO appreciate her sharing so generously.
Thank you so much for all the cupcake wrappers..These are wonderful..
Hi there I use scal and I downloaded the svg files but when I opened them they all just said untitled in the top left corner and nothing else…I would LOVE to use your cupcake wrappers any ideas as to how I can? TIA
Did you unzip the file after downloading? And then did you use File>Import SVG in SCAL to bring them into the program?
Thank you. this is perfect timing!
I also am having trouble loading them into scal, unzipped the svg’s, but won’t load them. Any suggestions?
Are you using File>Import SVG to bring them into SCAL? I just tested the teacher one and it worked fine. If you are definitely using this menu function to import the SVG file, can you tell me which one in particular is failing? And I’ll go test that same file. We’ll get to the bottom of this!
What machine is best for cupcake wrappers? I would like to design my own any suggestions?
Thanks!
The Groove-E and both Maxx machines are great choices. They have the force to cut from any paper or cardstock. They have the speed that’s lacking in some of the other cutters, so you can cut intricate designs more quickly. This is important since I assume you would want to cut multiples at a time. And then the software makes it possible to design most anything you want. Just check out Judy’s incredible designs! : )
The decision then is which model you need and that should mostly be based on your budget plus the dimensions of the materials you plan to use. If you are only cutting from, say, 12 x 12 cardstock, then the 13″ Groove-E will work great. But if you have access to larger sheets of paper or cardstock, then you might prefer the 15″ Maxx or the 24″ Maxx.
You can email me at smccauley45@cox.net if you want to discuss privately.
Thanks so much for the cute cupcake files. I truly appreciate your hard work.

You’re welcome… but I’m saying this on behalf of Judy, who creates these adorable files. Be sure to watch for a new one to be posted later this week!
great that you share these and make them for every occasion. I really like the nurse ones…
Just wondering if these wonderful cupcake wrappers are available in wpc format. Thanks!!
You can import the AI versions into your software and they will be ready to cut.
THank you very much!!!
Hi, where can I read about Inkscape and the tutorials of how to break apart the images, I think I just want the large heart wrapper and not the smaller one too but they are connected and i can’t break them apart in my SCAL program.
Thanks
I don’t support Inkscape, however there’s a wonderful new forum where you can ask some members this question and more!

Hi, I was just wondering how to break them apart since the friend I am making them for has no use for the minicake ones, just the lareger. They are beautiful.
Can you tell me how to delete the small on in SCAL. I imported the SVG file and then I tried to unlock it and delete the small one, that is where I am stuck!
Thanks for your help
Judy
Just as I responded above, I think the best thing you can do is join this new Inkscape forum and they will help you. You are free to share the cupcake SVG files with anyone there who can help you. Here’s the link again to this forum:
