Miscellaneous Nesting Shapes and Layered Toppers

Hi All

I'm really getting into the swing of this Nesting shape design,with the aid of the UKS and additional Inkscape Tutorials. (PM me for additional info)
If you have any problems please let me know ASAP. The GSD design is the 2.60 version........

Poinsettia shaped nestie for anyone who might find it useful...on second thoughts even a star shaped nestie.

Hi All

I'm at it again, this shape is a cross between a square and a flower!!!!!!Enjoy:)

I've cut these and they are fine, if anyone can find a use for them

Plain and scalloped

Don't know if we have any of these so hope you will find these useful :wacko:

More nesties:D:D

I am on a roll:lol::lol::lol:

Thank you Petrina and everyone who participated last month. These Challenges are great and we have some very lovely files to show for it.

This Month I have chosen these two functions Welding and Off Set Shape You can use free: fonts, dingbats, clipart, or graphics.

I choose two elements from fonts for my inspiration. I have two files for examples. I used Courier New, which is a basic font on your computer. The other file I used Spatz found here. It is a free font that can be shared.

For Newbies: Once you weld your shapes together, you can ungroup and adjust your shape or edit anchor points. When you get a mat you like, group all elements together. Copy your mat and click the Off Set Shape button. Just make sure you change the color of the off set layer before you click on something else. It makes it easier to change the color of that layer.

ive finally done one i hope... welded 2 circles with a rectangle offset the rectangle and welded then copy and pasted to make some nesting shapes hope this is what you want for the challenge

Square shape with 4 circles added to each side.
Used circle option on tool bar. Aligned cirlcle so arrows on middle of circle were aligned with line on square.Copy and paste and use arrows on key board to move to other side of square.Repeat on other side.
Select all and weld. Copy paste send to back click on off set shape set to desired size 5mm in my case with round method of join.

Im not saying this is the best way of doing this but I find it easier than using the grid and trying to draw lines.

Not cut but they should be fine

To go with the scalloped trees not yet cut but should be fine

Here is a file for a double layer fan. I put the two layers together with a flat glueing at the centre point and 3mm foam pads at the outer edge of the top layer to raise it above the base layer. The file contains 2 fan sizes. Made in Robomaster v5

The card and box were not cut with robo but they are one of a series of print and (scissor) cut, gatefold card pdf files which I have been working on with Tina. These cards have a choice of 10 different front shapes.

Hi

I hope that someone can use this set of nested hearts I've just created. The shapes are fine and they cut well. :)

Hi, been playing on Inkscape to create nested shapes, so here are my efforts!

I used a free font called 09Kutups which has lots of shapes and frames instead of letters - well worth a look!

I've colour matched the shapes so that a blue circle will fit inside the blue scallop circle etc. so it saves time.

Shapes included: circles/scallop circles (x3), ovals/scallop ovals, squares/curved frame, stars.

Hope people can make use of them.

This thank you topper was quickly designed in DM and converted to studio via the PDF method. The larger central mat is made using an adaptation of the letter y of the font damask ding 1. The whole topper is about 5.5 inches square and sits nicely on a 6 inch square card. I have used conqueror concept 160 gsm for the topper and concept 250 gsm for the main card. Care is needed when lifting the larger central mat from the carrier sheet. A bit of ribbon and a few beads just finish it off nicely!

I designed this (almost) square card for my cousin's birthday in December. I was pleased with the lovely warm appearance of the square mat which was achieved by drawing a square on the left hand side of my A4 cardstock and filling it with colour which I then put through the printer. In case anyone wants to use this colour the RGB values are: R 138 G 10 B 79. I have also included the insert which I did as a print and cut. Incidentally the ribbon I used is very narrow, about 3mm

Hello all! I hope you had a lovely Christmas.

DH bought me a Big Shot to use in conjunction with my Robo. One of the dies I bought to start my collection was Spellbinders Shapeabilities Frame 1. I wanted backings for it so have made these basic ones for now, I hope they might be useful to somebody else as well,
