Can I sell the die-cuts I make on my cricut machine?
I have an Etsy shop and want to add more things to my shop. I have been wondering if it is legal to sell the die-cuts that I create on my Cricut machine?

I am pretty sure that it would be illegal to sell them as die cuts alone, because they are copyrighted and trademarked as die cuts already. (Usually this includes: NOT INTENDED FOR RESALE, somewhere within the legal terms.)
However, if you make items to sell using the die cuts, it “MAY” be a loop hole in that, but then again maybe not!
For Example: I was selling note cards at a craft bazaar one year and I had used some rubber stamped images on my note card sets. The rubber stamps I used within my artistic creations, along with my own drawings, were stamps that I had purchased from a Stampin’ Up demonstrator the year before. Well, she was a customer at this craft bazaar and she told me that I cannot use any rubber stamped images from Stampin’ Up on anything that I was selling, because they are copyrighted and that they cannot be used within anything else that is being resold. I told her that I was unaware of that fact. The next thing I know, she had called the police to the church craft bazaar to make a report out so that she could have the Stampin’ Up copyright lawyers send me an official notification that I was breaking the law. I was mortified to say the least!
So I would check it out first! Call their toll free number and ask them, that way you will know for sure! I would hate to hear that you got removed from Etsy because you broke a rule such as this!
Good Luck To You!
