Hello,. I got 2 buffalo cutting files from the design store. However when i cut it ,it was not joined.
I would like to make my own buffalo or check file.Looked on youtube,not easy understand. Can someone point me in the right
direction please. Thanks.Happy crafting.:thanks:
Can you not weld them together Ruth
What’s the name or design number Ruth so we can see what you mean.
Hello, thanks for your replies Doreen and Shirley Anne.
Here are names of the files i got from Design Store.
. Buffalo Plaid Pattern ID #307453
. Buffalo Plaid Pattern ID #333118
. Buffalo Check Stencil ID # 249949
thanks.
Looks like I got the wrong end of the stick Ruth when you said buffalo I thought you meant an animal that's why I said can you not weld them I've never heard of a buffalo check but can see what it's by putting those numbers in the store search box .
To be honest the only way I would use that is to print it even though it says it's a cut file....it actually says this design is ideal for making wood signs whatever that means. EDITED to say when I put buffalo check in the search bar in the store there were others which said they were printable patterns maybe that person has put cut file by mistake
Are you wanting to use these a background papers to print Ruth, sorry I'm a bit confused :D
Thanks for the reply. I want to cut it out. Have been trying to make one,no sucess. So i'm going to make a check background to cut out. Have
one from design store.It's funny Doreen thinking it was an animal.:) Have good evening. Happy crafting.
It was the word buffalo that threw me RuthQuote:

I know nothing about checked buffalos though ;)
No one new here for a long time. This is the cutting files group did you think it was the scrapbooking group? From what I've read that particular pattern is called buffalo check
Hello, decided to make my own check cutting file.
I made a rectangle to the size i wanted. Then fill it with colour.
Then used the eraser tool, selected solid square. And punched random squares in a check form.
When finished removed the colour from the rectangle. Then sent it to cut.
You can vary the sizes and the shapes. Happy crafting everyone.:)
Glad you managed to make something you like RuthQuote:

Buffalo Check. Need to watch it a lot of times to get it. Hope this helps. Happy crating.
Wow, interesting. I am glad I read all the comments before trying a fix to send you. I thought it was the animal as well. Interesting to read on google the history of the meaning.
I'll have to check that out thanks Ruth (no pun intended :) )Quote:

After making the above file and before making a card I made a duplicate flipped aligned and welded it and ended up with this file

Brilliant Doreen! I had never heard of buffalo checks, but can see there are lots of possibilities with it. Think I need to go and watch the tutorial as well!
That looks good
Wow Doreen that's amazing. Well done. Glad you manage to make your lovely diy. cutting files. Still don't understand it. I think i need to be watching the video and work at same time on the cameo. You are very clever Doreen. Hip, Hip hooray Doreen.:D
I was pleasantly surprised RuthQuote:

I made mine in Inkscape as that was the software the lady was using Ruth but you can use the knife to slice things in Studio.
Oh thanks Doreen. Shall try that. I made a buffalo cutting file last night but the outer edges were left lose. So tried again made a compound
frame and attached the the buffalo cut file to it. I shall try the knife to do the slicing. Happy crafting everyone.
Hello, Doreen i tried knife tool but did not work. also tried subtract then grouped did not work.tried crop and intersect also did not work.
I think knife is an Inkscape function that the cameo don't have. I tried to download Inkscape registered but no program. lol
There is a knife in Studio for cutting things Ruth...... Inkscape doesn't have a knife. I've watched the video again to refresh my memory. I'm not sure how the one in the video would cut because the outer edge isn't attached to anything that's why the one in my first picture (although not exactly the same as in the video) is welded to a frame and I did the same for the second picture before I cut it.Quote:
