Gwynn Carla Jones saved up to buy her first laser in 2020 and has since grown her business into a retail store, paint party studio, and online shop. I’ve always admired her clever strategies for building excitement and connection with her customers. She’s also a talented and generous teacher within [her Facebook Group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/gwagf) (15k members).

She recently approached me about an idea to host a free 5-day challenge: she’ll show you how to take ONE Cuttle template → turn it into a product → and sell enough to cover the $24/mo subscription.

This is the sales strategy she used when she was getting started and still uses today. But this challenge is not just about _learning_ a strategy, it’s about _doing_ it together with Gwynn and her group over the 5 days!

Based on Gwynn’s previous workshops (on Cuttle, ornament bars, etc), I’m really excited about this one!

**Fund Your Files Challenge**

-   Dates: April 20 - 24 (next week!)
-   Format: Free 5-day challenge
-   Where: all of the daily prompts, support, and discussion will happen in [Gwynn’s Facebook Group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/gwagf)

**The Goal**

-   Sell enough of ONE design to cover your Cuttle subscription ($24/mo). That’s it. One focused plan you can actually follow through on.

**Topics**

-   Pre-selling + audience engagement
-   Fast product creation using Cuttle
-   Simple, intentional launch strategy

**Schedule**

-   Day 1: Pick product
-   Day 2: Build interest
-   Day 3: Create sample
-   Day 4-5: Launch + sell

-   Option to add a hole

You can also use the customizable QR Code shape in your own projects in the Cuttle Editor! Find it in **Browse All Shapes > Advanced**.

## Other Improvements and Fixes 🐞

We added a new **Vertical Text** shape (in **Browse All Shapes > Text**). It automatically sizes letters to the “cap height” of the font (you can change this by adjusting letter spacing).

Font pickers now show previews of recommended fonts.

We updated the free font list. Here are some of the new font families available.

We added **Edit > Simplify Paths** to the Editor. This is useful if your Path has a lot of Anchors and it’s making Cuttle run slowly.

We added a `holes` parameter to the **Expand** and **Contract** modifiers in the Editor.

We now show if you have “Unpublished Changes” on a Public or Unlisted project in your project dashboard.
