HKCMarket is a premium digital marketplace for paper crafters — cut files, sketches, printables, and tutorials. Browse without an account. Pay with cash, points, or a bundle. Earn points as you explore, share, and contribute. Every part of it is built to be fun and fast, not a squeeze.
What's in the catalog
- Cut files — SVG, PNG, JPG, and DXF formats for Cricut, Silhouette, and other cutting machines. Most of the catalog today.
- Sketches — hand-drawn layout references for scrapbookers.
- Printables — PDF templates, journal pages, planner inserts.
- Tutorials (coming soon) — step-by-step walkthroughs that bundle cut files, sketches, and printables together.
Finding what you want
Full-text search, category pills, and theme tags are on the browse page. Your recently viewed files are saved locally so you can jump back in. As you interact — adding to cart, purchasing, rating — the homepage surfaces more of what fits you.
How to pay
- Card — secure checkout via Stripe, either one-click on the file page or in batch from the cart.
- Existing points — 1 point is worth 1 cent toward any file. Apply whatever you like.
- Points bundles — stock up at progressively better rates. 1,000 pts for $4.95 (2× value), 3,000 pts for $9.95 (3×), 10,000 pts for $19.95 (5×). The biggest tier is always the best rate per point.
- Mix and match — existing balance + a new bundle + card in a single checkout. Mixed payments settle atomically.
How to earn points
Points are the reward currency for participating — not just buying.
- Welcome bonus — new accounts get a starting points gift.
- Referrals — the single biggest earning path. Your friend signs up through your link, you earn points; when they buy, you earn more. They get a welcome gift too, so the invite feels generous, not pitchy.
- Ratings & reviews — small points for rating, more for detailed reviews with photos.
- User content — photos of your finished projects earn points; featured ones earn more.
- Streaks & milestones — daily-visit streaks (capped so it's not a grind), first purchase, tenth purchase, account anniversary.
- Seasonal — double-points weekends, themed challenges.
Earning paths roll out in phases as the site grows. Check back — or sign up to be first in line as each one activates.
For Craft & Connect members
(Coming soon.) Your Craft & Connect points will sync to your HKCMarket account when the bridge launches, so you don't start from zero. Earning on either platform will update the unified balance; spending is one economy. Account-linking instructions will appear here when the integration goes live.
