$456 Worth of Popular Design ResourcesFree for the Holidays!
We’re so incredibly grateful for how fantastic the Design Cuts community has been in 2014, that wanted to say thank you in a big way! Today’s bundle brings you hundreds of popular items, and it’s totally free!
Our Gift to You. Thanks for a Wonderful Year, and Happy Holidays!
2014 has been a wonderful year, and that’s down to you guys. Getting to know the Design Cuts community has been one of the most rewarding things we’ve ever done. Every day we receive lovely feedback, inspiring messages, and stories from Design Cutters just like you, who are putting themselves out there and creating amazing design work.
We realise that the holidays can get expensive. Gifts to buy, parties to attend and lots and lots of eating. The last thing we want to do is to give you yet another holiday cost. That’s why we’re proud to bring you our first totally free bundle. This bundle is every bit as huge as our regular bundles, bringing you hundreds of popular design resources, that would usually cost you $456. For the next 2 weeks, this bundle is available for absolutely nothing. There’s no catch, no ‘tweet to own’ or anything like that. This is simply a big thank you from the entire Design Cuts team, to you. Thank you for being a part of this wonderful community.
Thanks of course go to our awesome design partners, who have been kind enough to contribute their resources. It’s incredibly good of them to put forward their resources as part of this holiday gift bundle. We’ve included links to each of their shops on this page, and we definitely recommend checking out their other resources.
Here’s why we think you’ll love this design bundle:
There are so many great items in this bundle that it should be incredibly useful, whatever field of design you’re involved in. Our wonderful partners have provided a fantastic range of icons, vectors, fonts (there’s 9 popular fonts in this bundle!), brushes, textures, Lightroom presets and patterns. There’s so much value in this bundle, it should help you well into 2015.
There are some wonderful firsts in this bundle. For example, we’ve never featured an extensive icon pack before, but Ian Barnard from Vintage Design Co was kind enough to contribute his super popular Flat Design Icon Set. There are gems like this to be found throughout this bundle, so we hope you enjoy going through everything.
Of course this wouldn’t be a Design Cuts deal without extended licensing (meaning you can use these items in work you resell), and full web font versions for all fonts included. Most of these best-selling resources don’t have an extended license available anywhere else, making this license is hugely valuable.
We hope that you love using the items in this massive holiday bundle. It’s been our pleasure building things for you guys this past year, and we hope that this gift goes some way to thanking you for all your support.

This set includes selection of 7 sets of antlers from north american wildlife. Since each set was hand illustrated, little organic imperfections in the shape of the antler outline objects are visible. These are not clinically computer created, but hand crafted with a pen and paper before being converted to a vector EPS shape. Each set is somewhat asymmetrical as antlers are in real life.
What’s included with this product:
7 individual antler illustrations. Each file is offered in both vector EPS, and PNG format. The PNG images are sized from (3600 X 3300 px) to (6100 X 4200) depending on original illustration size. Both formats feature the illustration in dark gray, with a transparent background.

Give your photos, blog pages, and other web & print projects a watercolor touch with this pack of 10 soon-to-be released watercolor digital papers from 8 Red Fish Creative. That’s right, since it’s Christmas you get these goodies before anyone else. Each digital paper/texture was lovingly made while listening to the Orb’s “Fluffy Little Clouds”!

Key Features:
• 127 Banner Options
• Illustrator .AI & .EPS and Photoshop Formats *Illustrator recommended
• Photoshop file uses vector smart objects.
• Type is LIVE and fully editable (font download links included as text file)
• Photoshop file is NOT Photoshop Elements friendly (sorry!)
I designed this pack to be as easy to edit and change the text and effects as possible (the illustrator file has text and effects grouped so everything remains visually consistent.) Also included is a Photoshop file with vector smart objects in case you prefer to work that way, although the Illustrator file is suggested due to being a little bit easier to work from.
There is a huge amount of different banners to pick from inside this pack, and all text is live and fully editable (Illustrator file, Photoshop has some, but not all type available), so you can very quickly go in and change things to suit your needs. Many of the banners include multiple size options to save that little bit of time when creating different lengths of type.
Texture Automator + 45 Texture Bonus
Applying Great Textures Shouldn’t Be Hard:
Applying great textures to your designs, illustrations, and photos shouldn’t be a long and drawn out process. The Texture Automator allows you to simply load in a texture and piece of art of your choice, and then hit play, instantly applying the texture to whatever design, illustration, or photo you’re using. You can give your work professional level texture in just seconds! The Texture Automator will apply almost any texture that you throw at it – even photos! Experiment with different source material to achieve a vast variety of possible results. The Texture Automator also allows you to quickly apply tonal background textures to finish the look for whatever project you’re working on.
45 Premium Included Textures:
Although the Texture Automator will work with almost any texture you throw at it, I’ve included 45 premium textures for you to use with the Automator to give your designs, illustrations, and photos an amazing textured look. 30 of these textures are never before released cracked textures that range from simple cracked lines to cracks that almost appear like a well worn wooden board. Also included are 15 textures from my various other texture packs that I’ve selected to give you a diverse and interesting selection of premium textures to choose from. The best part of all is that you can use all the textures you’ve collected along the way with this action, or create new ones of your own and pop them in. The only limit is your creativity!
Detailed Instructions Included:
I’ve created this action to be super fast and easy to use, but I’ve also included a link to a full tutorial video (much more in depth than the promotional video above) as well as an in depth instructional PDF going over the use of this action. I spent a full day creating and recording these instructions to hopefully make this action a pleasure to use. Any additional questions? Feel free to ask in the comments below, or send me a message. I’m always happy to help.
What’s Included:
Texture Automator Action and Layer Styles: $15 Value
30 Cracked Textures (Never Before Released): $12 Value
15 Assorted Premium Textures: $6 Value
Total Value of Items: $33
Detailed Instructions: Priceless
