Stencil Cut - Toppers/Overlays

[cindy1975]

I just cut this with my Craft Robo and I am SO pleased with how it turned out. The picture was one I found on the internet, but I don't know where so I can't give credit.

I have attached the GSD file for anyone who would like it, but please only use it for personal use as I do not wish to infringe copyright laws, thanks :)

I also have a hummingbird in the same style and when I have vectorised, converted to GSD, and done a test cut, I will also share that.

[susibi]

For this I used the letter i from Fleurons, resized, rotated etc then sandwiched between two rectangles- usual procedure View>outline select all Path>Object to Path, Path>union et voilà! Same technique as the word edges - very effective - a combination of these dings can give a beautiful lace cut out.
For the overlay you don't need to use rectangles - any closed shape will do - squares, ovals, circles
Enjoy playing!

Converted from a dingbat font.
Hope they are useful

As it is in Quick and Crafty this month ( in my article). Image altered from an original found on the web.

Hi,

Here's one I've done today. Because there is so much detail in the cutout, you don't need to add much, to make a pretty card. Just a flower or even a label with Happy ????? whatever.

I've done it in dramatic colours but would look good in pastels as well.

Drawn in Inkscape, traced and tidied in Robo.

Works best at a lower speed, 3, with card or paper of 200gsm or less.

Hope you like.

Hi,

A second design in the square layered topper range. Another delicate design, so I would reccommend using a lighter weight card or heavy paper.

Once again choose your colours according to the style you want to achieve.

Hope you enjoy.

(I am working on a butterfly one as well)

Drawn in Inkscape, traced and tidied in Robo. Cut from lightweight card, 160gsm at slow speed 3. Too ornate for double cut.

These can be resized to fit spring card.

Just a few frames,if anyone is interested.

This time with butterflies.

Hope you like

Drawn in Inkscape, Traced and tidied in Robo. Cut from 150gsm and 180gsm card at slow speed 3. Too ornate for double cut.

[Betsy]

Thank you, for your comments.
A few more frames.

[Betsy]

Another frame, how can you tell I like making frames.

[Betsy]

Did you guess right.

[Betsy]

Sorry to be boring.

[Betsy]

There are two of the same frame. One with a middle or without a middle.
I could not upload them on the same page, so they are both seperate.
They cut fine.

[Betsy]

Second choice.

[Betsy]

Sorry if you are getting bombarded with frames, I love making them for my
friends and myself, and it seems a shame not to share them with my friends
on UKS. They cut well.
Betsy.

[ErikaP]

Just been playing and did this one. Would be nice for a scrapbook frame or as a card topper.

Designed and cut in knk, should work with Robo with no problems.

Hi this is the last for a couple of days as now my neck is hurting, but wow are they addictive, once you start doing them. Hope you will like it, I have cut it and it makes a lovely A4 card front.

[Jezza]

A quick Thinking Of You Card. Cut on A4 and fld in half, attach an inner sheet and you have a completed card in under 15 minutes.

[kassy]

just finished making this card for a friends birthday, hope some one else is able to use it. tried uploading DM file also but for some reason it is uploading OK but nothing showing will try again later.

Hi,

This is one I did a few days ago. Didn't get time to post it before heading over to the damp, cold, grey UK.

It is actually mounted onto a white embossed background done using a Fiskars board and Cuttlebug. You can't see the fact that it is then mounted onto a black card. The whole effect is very dramatic.


Hope it adds some brightness!

[nananessa]

Had a play in Paint Shop Pro last night and came up with this. Converted it in Robomaster. Thought someone might find it useful. the file is set to cut twice. It cuts well but some of the conections are quite fine (due to my in experience) so be careful when taking it off the carrier sheet.

[Ruthan]

How come this was "my" challenge. All I said was perhaps it could be a challenge.

Anyway here is my contribution. It cuts well but there are an awful lots of little petal bits on my carpet :lol: As this will fit an A6 card the flowers are a little small so you may have to pick out the bits.

Ruthan x

Just added square Layering Cards to fit 5" and 6" square cards.

Ruthan x

[valeriepalmer]

Don't know if this qualifies for the challenge, not as pretty as the others but different

[SylviaF]

I've been following these threads with interest. As I have not seen the layering cards referred to I'm not quite sure what they are. I've done my own layering mat in DM and converted it to GSD. Would this count as an entry for the challenge?? In any event it might be of some use.

[Ruthan]

Been playing with robo agin!

The pink and purple cards are the same file but treated differently. On the white centred one I cut the oval on both layers so the base card came through. On the second one I only cut the pink layer oval and in fact none of these has three layers. But the opportunity is there to cut three layers.

I then decided to simplify the file and the green and red one is the result. Again I only cut two layers and cut the oval on the topmost layer.

These are A6 cards.

Ruthan x

[SylviaF]

Here is another simple layering mat made in DM with aid of a square and an oblong. Again I've converted to a GSD file. I filled up my sheet with some flowers which I've left in, in case anyone would like them! I've been tatting about with this all afternoon instead of doing my ironing - you know how it is!!

[Lindyloulou]

Made these in DM and converted to GSDs. The mats are 41/2 inch square. Sorry about the rubbish scans

Lynne

[Lindyloulou]

My second set



Lynne

[Lindyloulou]

set no 3



Lynne

[Lindyloulou]

These are fun to make, here is my 4th effort. Just a screen shot but it does cut ok.
I agree with Ruth we have certainly produced more than C&C :rolleyes:


Lynne

[ErikaP]

Sorry can't cut this as I'm still in the UK. I had 10 minutes free between kids demands and decided to play.

If someone would like to be a guinea pig and cut it, I'd love to see the result.

[Ruthan]

Here is a design in A6 and 5'' square format. I have also put in an optional centre which could be as an aperture (as I have used it) or as another layer which could be embossed with an all over design as I will be able to do when my Wizard arrives tomorrow :lol::lol::lol:

Thank you to all the ladies who have contributed to the challenge to produce layering cards. The response has been great and now we have a large collection of them and so can find something suitable for any type of card.

Many regards Ruthan :love:

[NikiB]

Thought I'd have a play, layer with mat - use them individually or together

Not decided if I like it or not but someone may be able to make use of it and please do so freely, but files not to be passed on to others outside of this section of UKS

It is a little wonky as in 2 of the edges don't mirror each other quite, but it's not that noticable

Created in Inkscape and then DXF loaded into Robomaster and saved as a GSD file, does stutter a little round the curves but cuts well, slow speed recommended

Also saved as an EPS from Inkscape and then Imported into Designmaster and saved as a GRA, cuts smoothly

Can be sized as a Square or Rectangle as shown in picture

[Van2007]

This is a very basic design but thought I would use it for attempting my first template upload. I hope this works!!:lol:

[ErikaP]

Made in Inkscape using the letters Q, I, S, P, X and O from Freebooter Script font. Just rotated, overlapped, welded and made into a frame.

Exported as PNG and traced in Robomaster.

Guinea pig required please, just got home and haven't hooked up in the dungeon yet. May get a chance to cut it later if no-one else does first.

ErikaP

[craftyanne]

Hi Ladies this is my entry for the layer challenge. Hope that I have interpreted the challenge right:blink:, that it is more of a frame. Hope also that you like it. Still a novice really compared to some of our fab designers.

Sorry about picture just need to resize it as it is too large to upload. but here is the template

Have added the screenshot

[Lindyloulou]

I have been making more toppers, so here is no 5

Lynne

[Lindyloulou]

A variation on no 5


Lynne

[Lindyloulou]

Thought this would look good in a scrapbook layout with journalling in the middle. Was not too happy with the GSD conversation so had to modify it a little.

Lynne

[Lindyloulou]

Another pair this time one square and one round. Suitable for male cards

[Lindyloulou]

Last one, can you tell I have been deprived of the internet for a couple of days? Our phone line developed a fault LOL

[ErikaP]

Hi All,


Feeling very sorry for myself today. Arrived home yesterday with a filthy headache, streaming nose and sore throat. Has developed into a real stinker, shivering and aching from head to toe, even my hands are throbbing. I have spent the day in bed or on the sofa wrapped in a blanket. Unfortunately it seems the grandkids in the UK have gone down with it today as well.

Made this playing with the star function in Inkscape. I haven't got the energy or inclination to take the laptop down to the dungeon, so if someone would like to cut it please feel free.

It needs to be cut from either thick paper or thin card as it is quite intricate.

[Diane Allen]

Not complicated - but they cut well. Unfortunately the attached picture does not do them justice - all the missing lines are on the actual designs. Many thanks to all the other contributors - your designs are lovely.

[Helenscot]

Have been watching and viewing this challenge with interest and joy at what all you clever ladies (and gents) achieve - I think I will always be in awe of you but thought I should try and as they say its the taking part that counts!!

Just cut it in odd bits of card to check it cut ok and it does :-)

Hope someone can maybe use it


Helen x

[joggy148]

Here's my attempt lol, hand drawn is ILL CS2 converted by dxf to rm.

I haven't had time to cut yet but there should hopefully not be any problems.
You may have to be careful on the corners when lifting off carrier.

Have done it as a triple layer but green layer is more of a nesting layerif that sense lol.

JO

[cheekymole]

but don't know what you would use it for, maybe the bit in the middle could've been bigger

Lesleyx

[dewberrypink]

this is my first try ladys so dont be to hard on me i thought i better test it first befor i posted it lol

[valeriepalmer]

Made this from ErikaP's idea of using fonts to create patterns, I used french script font and the letter y

[Ruthan]

Another for the challenge. I used my new Wizard and my old and unused Fiskars texture plates for the centre whites. The butterflies were cut and embossed using a wizard thingy.

Not perfect, I know, but a quick one before I go on hols (will be deprived of PC for two whole weeks!). Top layer run through Cuttlebug and highlights painted on some parts with Stardust Gellyrolls (Gellyrolls didn't scan very well though!).

Hazel xx

[Senorita Lynn]

It is very simple and basic, but I hope someone can use it.
I have done two - one has a full mat background layer and the other one a partial background layer.

Lynn

[nananessa]

I was asked to try a square panel so here it is.
Hope you like it.

It is set to cut twice.

[elwoodsusanm]

Someone may like to use these. A little care needed when lifting from mat.:wacko:

[sab]

Hope it works because I don't cut it yet

[rugersmum]

hi hope you can use this finally got to do something with cuttlebug :lol:

xx

[dawnuk]

i just got out of the template section PHEW LOL !! ITS JUST FABULOUS:love:
so i have had another play and made this fairy.
i hope you like it.:love:
personal use only.

[silverst170]

Well hope someone can use this............... its quite delicate but cuts well



These swirls are getting as addictive as the embossing folders :lol:

[SylviaF]

These card toppers are built up with several layers and finished with mulberry flowers and beads. Done in DM but I have converted to a GSD file (may need a bit of tweak!) Hope it may be of some use.

[hazel7797]

You've inspired me with these Lucille! I LOVED them so much I had to give it a go! A poor imitation of yours, but fun to do! Thank you again! :thanks:

PS Hope you didn't mind, you know what they say, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" :wub:

[silverst170]

Another Lace mat with a heart in the middle
Hope someone can use:D

[kztmiz]

You are all doing such great work. I just had to join in.
Okay, I'm slow...LOL
I started on this pattern for last months challenge and turned it into lattice with the help of the tutorial. I cut it out of light weight paper. With my normal setting for light weight. Until I trimmed and mounted the panel, it was kind of an eye ball bender. I fashioned the pattern off a quilt of my grandmother's.

Help.... It is too big even with a zip file 1.55mb. Is there something I can do?

[silverst170]

Hope someone can use

Just sorting all my made files that are not used

[garw]

i have welded "50" into the centre and then embossed it for an antique look but for those of you with dm you can weld anything into it

karen

[ltgrandma]

Here is my Newbie Challenge for the lattice tutorial.
I've also left one without the lattice, so someone could use the design for
something else.
Thanks so much to 2magpies who patiently guided me through this
tutorial and learning to change the file over to a GSD.:thanks:
Like the rooster in this design, I really have something to crow about.
"I never would have made it this far without the excellent written tutorials
and all the ladies willing to jump in and help decipher the messes we can
make of them!!!!!" :thanks::thanks:
:comp:I am anxiously awaiting the next challenge.
Linda

[ltgrandma]

Practice makes perfect. I think I'm getting better. This only took me a
day instead of a week!
I don't know if this is lattice or lace. If it's lace, I've moved a step ahead!!!
Excuse my excitement - :P:P:P It feels good to get through something on
my own.
Hope someone enjoys this!

[DJG]

Oh dear this is (as Lucille says) addictive.

[DJG]

May be useful to someone
