These lacy mats were designed in DM. The plain circular mats are layered on top of the lacy mats to make them a bit more substantial. I have cut the lacy mats in 120 gsm paper and the plain mats in 160 gsm conqueror card.

Care is needed when lifting the lacy mats from the carrier sheet. The designs cut well in DM and I have made a conversion to GSD by making a PDF file, then importing into inkscape, saving as a DXF then importing into Robomaster and saving as a GSD. This method has been the subject of some discussion on the robochat forum and has provided a very good conversion, but the bad news is it takes a long time to cut the GSD file.

I have had to pare down the GSD file to reduce it to the required file size so I have left only 2 mats on it. The 3rd mat can be made by copying the 2nd mat and resizing it to 2.210 x 2.240 ins. The plain mats are just circles made to fit on top of the mats.

It has been pointed out to me that the GSD file has some extra lines in it (only visible if you zoom out) I have now put this right and the amended GSD file is now posted. Sorry about that!

This is another one from last year done in DM and converted using the PDF method.
This one has six layers in all - I cut the three complete layers and then three of just the outline of each in a contrasting colour and then layered them up, decorated with beads and some mulberry flowers. Makes a nice topper for all occasions.

Sorry, I forgot to put the file through Brian's converter - here it is!

Here's another one! Although the lacy mat looks a bit fussy it cuts surprisingly well. The one on the photo is cut using concept 160 gsm, but I have cut it in 120 gsm paper as well. Designed in DM and converted to GSD using the PDF method. Makes a nice topper when decorated with flowers and beads etc. Hope you like!

This is a card I made with my daughter's birthday next month in mind. I hope it isn't too OTT - I do seem to get carried away sometimes with the ribbon and beads!

Done in DM and converted to GSD via the PDF method. The square frame could be used for scrapbooking and the round mats can be used separately also.
