Another one made with Lucille's tutorial...cut's fine

I've been working on this most of the afternoon. Got the idea but hell and all trouble getting the basic shape to weld so I could work with it, then realised I was having a DOH!! hour, but it's finished.

Here's another one..it cuts fine

Sorry just the rectangles this time. I thought I'd saved the element I made them from but it's hiding somewhere

if I find it I'll make the ovals and upload them.

I've added the ovals now

Here is another one, I choose masculine colours for this one.

I've added a GSD to this post, for Jean and anyone else who isn't sure about resaving the files as GSD to show it can easily be done.

I separated all the pieces in Inkscape from the card
save as DXF
load in RM
drag the old imaginary box around each piece
and group, to keep all the lines together for easier moving around,

Any thing not in the cutting area won't cut, so there is no need to worry about them.

The other way is
select only the pieces you want to cut in Inkscape
copy and paste to a new document
save as DXF
load into RM
select each piece and group.

Oblongs and ovals to go with the squares and circles

And some panels

This is a very simple design done in DM and converted to GSD via the PDF method made for a friend's birthday which is coming up soon. Decorated with ribbon, beads and mulberry flowers it will sit nicely on a 5 x 7 card.

I have included the outline of the 2 shapes in the GSD file to facilitate cutting a "lining".

I thought it a bit mean to show the nesting shapes I made from an outline of a design for this months challenge, so here is the file.

Nesting shapes made from the outline of my hexi lattice.

this from one of the overlays HQ8
unusual for me, but I have not tested the cut with these.

**cattiegracie** · 18-05-2011, 10:14 PM

nesting shapes made from overlay HQ6
have not cut these

I really liked a similar nestie so I thought I would have a go and design my own and this is the result. The smaller 2 have been cut and they come out really well so I hope they will be of use to some of you and this is my turn to give something back for all the wonderful templates I have used from here.
