There are many resources on the web for public domain graphics that you can go get for free. Take advantage of all the free sites out there to build your own digital library.
One good source for free graphics is the Graphics Fairy. They have a lot of freebies but you can access the motherlode for a monthly fee if you want. Libraries are another good source. Check the libraries online for most major cities. Don't forget to check your local library too especially for those Dover cd collections. You can use those too.
Another free site I like is Far Far Hill. That site is on its way out though. It hasn't been updated since 2018 so hurry and go get what you want from it before it disappears too. You can download free paper sets and print off your own paper. There are also some graphic sets there too.
You can print off a zillion times any graphic over and over and cut them out so you don't ever have to buy them pre-printed again unless you just want to. I have an archive of images on two external 100 gig hard drives and many I've pulled off onto disks for storage. You should see my stash of angels, flowers, butterflies, birds and Holiday images. You can upload them to cricut and cut them out or just print them out and cut them by hand.
One of the first graphics sites I discovered online was Pat's Web Graphics. I loved that site. I wish I had gotten those cd's when I had the chance because her site is no longer up. She had the most amazing flower graphics and free web sets I had ever seen. She really knew how to work with flowers. You can go see what I mean at the Wayback Machine . Just look it up. Here's a sample of some of her flowers. I still have some of her sets. I believe she designed them with PaintShop Pro. It was a great program when Jasc had it... not so much after Corel bought them out. The same thing happened to Flash. It was great until Macromedia sold it to Adobe... time marches on. You can still find some great programs and freebies out there for working with graphics.
Scan them in. Any graphics you have that you want to print out - just scan them in and print them over and over again. Digitize everything. It's legal for your own personal use.
You could take all your old paper punches and digitize cuts of them if you wanted and just cut them out with your Cricut. Same thing with your decorative edged scissors and even your stamps. Just digitize them and upload them to Cricut design space and you can print and cut them out until the cows come home. And that's how you get unlimited graphics for FREE.
