Look what I did with my cricut.

I used my cricut to cut out this stencil to make this sign. I think it looks pretty good. The sign measures 24" high and 12' long. If you are every in Canandaigua stop in and check out the store it has lots of primitive goodies inside.

These were made with a stencil I cut using my circut.

There is not much to say about these signs they were made for a fabric shop ( Liberty Cottage ) that sells quilting material and other primitive things.

Make your own fonts... a must have......

http://www.yourfonts.com/

I came across this site from another yahoo group. I have been trying to find the right primitive font to use with my signs. And so far I have not had a lot of luck finding what I was looking for.
The program will be great to get a personal look for your scrap booking pages digital or paper.
Right now its a free online generator that allows you to create your own font.
I hope someone can use this... Have a great night... God blessings to you .

Cricut Stencils I did it !!!

I have been busy trying to get my sign order ready so I have not been able to do much scrapbooking or card making I did recieve my first house mouse stamp last night. I tryed coloring it it but I made a few mistakes. So I will do that again before I post my creations.

But here are the two signs I made from the stencils I made useing my cricut. My Camera does not take a good up close pictures. So right now this is the best I can do. If any one has any questions about the stencils give me a shout... Have a great day.

I found a way to make a stencil with my cricut using my psp11 program.

The problem with the cricut is there is no way to bridge the lettering. So what needs to be done is erase small parts on the letters as seen in the picture next to this, that will keep the plastic in the part of the letter so you can paint the stencil and not get the paint in the inside of the O,B,D,P,R,Q, and so on. I also add a very small border on the edge of my project. Then save project as a Bitmap. Then you can importthe project into Inkscape and then save them as a .svg.

The last thing to do is import project into Sure cut alot and resize and then cut...

The main thing I will be doing with my Cricut is cutting out stencils. The picture is on the right for you to see what I was talking about. I cut out this stencil with Plaid Stencil Decor which is a thinner Mylar than some of the other stencil material. I cut the stencil with the pressure on 3 with just one cut it came out pretty nice it was not supper smooth but not bad for what I need. I hope this information helps some one else. Have a great day! I cut another stencil and cut with the pressure on 4 and the cut was a lot smoother.

I have had my Cricut for a week now. And so far I have made nothing. LOL but I have finally have it hooked up to my computer so I can use any font with the Inkscape software and the Sure Cuts Alot. I bought the ZooBalloo cartage, it is so cute. I am going to have a new Granddaughter soon so I hope to make her some special scrapbook pages with it.
