EveryCutFileOriginal designs and tool calculations
Every size comes from the SVG file itself. The size with margin is the width and height written in the file; the cut size and the number of shapes (layers, on a drawn design) are measured from the drawing. One shape or layer can hold several outlines, so that count is not always the number of loose pieces. Finished sizes are for the arrangement described on each design page; card thickness and your machine can change the result a little.
The SVG tools run in your browser. Their results come from what you enter and the calculations described beside each tool.
Software and reference information
Each entry links to the maker’s or standard’s own page. A policy that can change shows the day we last read it; that date changes only after a new read. If a maker documents a change, or a new read cannot confirm a fact, the page says so beside the answer.

Bank note size
The fold-up red envelope is sized round a US bill, which the U.S. Currency Education Program gives as 6.14 × 2.61 inches (156 × 66 mm), the size of US notes since 1929. U.S. Currency Education Program: the history of American currency.
Festival dates
The home page shows Diwali, Hanukkah and Lunar New Year about six weeks ahead, with this year’s date. These dates move every year; ours come from Wikipedia’s articles, which list the date for each year: Diwali, Hanukkah and Chinese New Year. The goat design’s note that the Year of the Goat is also called the Year of the Sheep or the Ram follows Wikipedia’s Goat (zodiac) article.
Map outlines
The US state designs are cut from the US Census Bureau’s cartographic boundary file of the states (2023, 1:20,000,000), and Washington, DC from the same file at 1:500,000, which shows its riverbank in more detail. Census Bureau map files are in the public domain. Each state is drawn to its own map scale and simplified for cutting; islands too small to cut are left out. Census Bureau cartographic boundary files.

EveryCutFile Label Sans uses outlines derived from ABeeZee Regular, created by Anja Meiners and distributed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1. The derivative has a different name. Original font and license.
The other lettering styles in the label customizer and monogram maker are outlines derived the same way, each under its own name: EveryCutFile Label Serif from Abril Fatface by TypeTogether, EveryCutFile Label Swash from Berkshire Swash by Astigmatic (Brian J.
