I needed to make a last minute card today, and thought I would upload the template here, in case it is useful to anyone else. :comp: I have included a rectangular version as I understand it will save our American friends postage - thank you Linda for letting us know that. :wub:
The coloured lines are designed to be drawn with Robo’s pen tool first, before sending the card to cut. I used 3D fabric paint for the flower centres. :comp:

Thank you to everyone for all the amazing templates uploaded to the challenge so far. :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:
My entry is another line art card. :rolleyes: :lol: It was designed entirely in RM 2.4 with the help of the 'snap to' grid, and inspired by a lace panel. :comp:
The template's orange and green lines should be drawn with a gel pen FIRST, before sending the card to cut.

Hi, thought i would give lattice another go, as i am a bit of if a novice when it comes to designing this, hope it will be of use to you.I have tried to send the coverted one to GSD file, but it says the file is to big for this type of file
to be uploaded. Perhaps Lucille can help or anyone of you ladies.
sorry ladies this file is for drawing with a pen Anne
converted to GSD by Lucille
G'day, G'day!! July already, can you believe it?!? Where has the year gone already? :blink: It also seems an age since I've been in the CR Forum - lots has happened to me this year. Unfortunately, that "lots" has not included much crafting or roboing at all. :( But never mind!
Since my mojo has gone walkabouts, Holmesmade (Sue) suggested we team up as she had a great idea. So without further ado, we present to you this months challenge!
Have you ever used that little black "looks-a-bit-like-a-teeny-rocket-with-a-growth" thingy that came with your Robo?!? It's called a pen-holder and amazingly, you can stick a pen into it, stick it in your Robo and DRAW designs with it! :o
Yes! This months challenge is based around what you can do with your pen holder. If you are anything like me, you have a huge stash of gorgeous pens just crying out to be used. So what can you come up with in terms of drawing designs. In addition to cutting designs as well if you are that clever!
But not only do we want to see your gorgeous design creations, we were also wanting to amass a collection of tips and tricks with using the pen holder. What can you suggest??
(Please note, if you suggest a great font to use, please make sure that it is a public domain font, ie. freely available. If possible, please include the full name and designer and a source for your font at the time of posting - as we all know font sites can change in a blink of an eye.)
Attached are the first two gorgeous examples (from Sue :thanks:) of what you can do using Robo to draw your design. Now over to you. Let's see your designs and your tips and tricks!
Here are another two gorgeous examples from Holmesmade. These two include both drawing AND cutting!
Here's mine it's just a simple topper with roses
ETS it's two colours although it doesn't look like it in the photo.
I've added a GSD for Val and anyone else who would like it
Did this a few weeks ago using Lesleys tutorial for Inkscape, don't think I uploaded it before, but I did mean to.
http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/boards/...d.php?t=291514
I drew the flower and coloured it in seperately from the vine, then copied and pasted it all together.
Had to zip it because I think all the colouring made the file too large.
Wonderful files so far, thanks to all for sharing them, and to Winnie and Sue for a great challenge. :thanks:
I have drawn some simple flower borders and a 'Happy Birthday' text border that I hope will be useful.
.
These line art designs looked a little like bamboo to me, well, from a distance anyway. :lol: Hope the are useful.
.
I made these borders using a Greek Key design. :D
.
Had fun today interpolating spiro swirls, and made these borders. Hope they might be useful. :unsure:
.
A few more. :)

I've been absent for awhile - painting my new craft room.
Decided to change my formal living room into my dining room and
turned the dining room into my craft room.
I'm so proud - I did it "all by myself"!!
I have been burning this challenge in my mind, while I was doing all that
tedious work and this is what I came up with.
Hope it is useful.
The fonts I used were Fantasy and Gallery Normal.
The awning is pieced to get the striped edge.
I've posted the SVG and GRA files. When I have more time, I will do the GSD
and add it.
I made a few more line art designs today, hope they might be useful. :wub:
Thank you for setting us such an interesting challenge this month Linda. :wub:
I have made a line art card out of my framed saying – which I hope will still qualify? :unsure: I used the saying “Home is where the heart is”.
The line art pattern on the frame/card outer was inspired by Doreen’s lovely Hounds Tooth Lattice card here. :comp: Thank you for sharing Doreen. :thanks: I think mine turned out more like a tartan though. :( :rolleyes:
.
I have framed my favourite ‘friends’ quote with a line art flower border, and then attached it to an easel card.
I hope it might be useful to someone. :)
.
Thank you for all the wonderful files uploaded so far. :thanks: Here's another from me to add to the collection.
This line art design uses a birthday blessing that I found online, unfortunately the author was listed as ‘unknown’ so I can't credit him/her.
The examples were drawn with Stabilo Point 88 Fineliner pens onto thickish watercolour paper. The pens fit happily into the standard Robo pen holder, and being water based there was no risk of them smudging on this surface.
I hope someone might find it useful either framed or as a card.

Hi Joyce & Ladies
I have tried to do this line art design.
This line art card set was made using my Silhouette Sketch Pens and cut from 250 gsm Conqueror Concept card. I cut the butterflies from patterned vellum, folded them in half and stuck them over the drawn butterflies for a 3D effect.
I have included a matching insert and topper, and hope they might be useful to someone.
Edited to add SVG files
.
This line art flower design was inspired by a desk lamp at my MIL's house, so not sure what kind of flower it is supposed to be. :lol:
Both the cards pictured were drawn with Silhouette sketch pens on 250 gsm Conqueror Concept Card, one coloured with Twinkling H20's and the other with a few dabs of chalk.
I have included the GSD, Studio and SVG templates in the zip file and hope they might be useful. :wub:
.
This is my first line art file. Two days ago I would never have thought I could acheive this on my robo. I dedicate this card to the wonderful Joyce who has step by step guided me through this end product. Thank you to a lovely lovely lady.

Hi I hope someone can use this line art.
Butterflies for the pen, scalloped circle for cutting out.
I've added the details to the file I hope it's easy to understand.
I have made this and it cuts fine
This was made in Studio version 1.7, it is a 5" card, obviously you can resize it.
I've been having a play with line art today, perhaps someone can use it. The colours are grouped to make it easier to set the cut lines, it can be used in several different ways;
- Select the line art on the card and delete everything to use with a topper.
- The topper has a mat, which if you break apart by releasing the path, you can use the centre of the mat to cut an aperture in the front of the card with the line art around it.
- Use the mat with the line art as your topper.
I think that covers everything.
This card set was inspired by a patch of violas growing in my garden. B) The cards and toppers were drawn with my Silhouette Sketch Pens on 250 gsm Conqueror Concept card.
I have included GSD, Studio and SVG files in the zipped folder, and hope they might be useful. :wub:
This is my 1st go at making my 1st line art. Hope some one will find it useful.
FOR ELLEN. I have re uploaded the file with the outside green line changed to black for cutting (NOT DRAW). I dont no what has happened when you drew the green dots but all the colours were grouped together separately so that you only had to click on each colour and then click on cut. I have tested this as you can see from the photo and it ran fine. As I am not an advanced user of Silhouette if you have anymore problems just ask on here and I am sure Lucille would be able to help you as she is brilliant with this software, she has helped me alot with the tutorials etc.
This is my first ever attempt so here goes hope they are ok

This is a poppy line art card design, but I have included a separate topper if you’d prefer to layer it rather than cut your base card.
I do hope it might be useful. :unsure:
GSD, Studio and SVG files are in the zip folder.
.
Well after some debating how I would get this done I think I have mastered it :D Took me literally ages to work out but now I have done it, something else I have learnt.... Obviously for personal use only Please
Hope someone can use... IT'S HERE in Studio......
Available from my blog will be GSD & SVG:D
Maybe useful for someone.
All the colours are set to "no cut" so you will need to choose cut or no cut for each one depending on which one you are drawing.
Each colour is grouped separately to make it easier to select
The flowers are from a dingbat called Saru's flowers and the leaf is from the SS library
Another lineart file. the info on how to use it is with the file
This is my first attempt at line art. I have made both a card and a topper. I did the card yesterday after re doing and saving all my test cut settings because my Cameo refused to cut properly with the ones I'd previously saved. Well the card cut OK but the pens were a bit hit and miss as you can probably see from the photo. I was using the glitter sketch pens. Today I have done the topper and used different sketch pens and they worked fine as did the cutting. In both of the attached files the flower head and leaves are grouped separately as are the frame for the topper and the card base so you just have to select which you want to draw/cut. The cut style in both files is set for drawing the flower head. Hope all this makes sense as I seem to have waffled on a bit !!
My xbox controller studio file. enjoy
The overlay and topper designs were drawn with glitter gel pen onto parchment, which cut very well and was tough enough to be lifted from the carrier sheet without tearing.
The overlay was stitched to the base card at the spine and also anchored to the card front with a small piece of double sided tape which was hidden by the centre mat. I used self adhesive flat sided pearls to decorate.
The topper and its central mat were hand embossed, and I am no great shakes at embossing, so don't look too closely. :lol:
Hope they might be useful. :wub:

A line art card and topper design inspired by all the daffodils brightening up our garden at the moment.
I have included Studio, SVG and GSD files in the zip folder and hope they might be useful. :wub:
I designed this line art floral step card for my MIL’s birthday next month, and thought I’d upload it in case anyone else would like it.
The line art was drawn with Silhouette sketch pens first before sending to cut. I’ve included brief instructions in the Studio file, along with topper, mat and insert.
SVG, GSD and Studio files are in the zipped folder.
Hi lovetoad,
I'm so sorry you are having problems with this. It is hard to be sure but it sounds as though the folds on your card may not be in the right place. I've attached a screenshot to show where the folds should be and which ones are mountain folds and which valley folds. I do hope this will help.
I will PM you my address though in case the image isn't clear enough or you need me to send any photos. HTH.
