Rhinestone shirt to share

We have a group of friends that spend the weekends out on the water trying to discover as many lakes each summer as we can.  We call ourselves the lake gypsies, hence the shirt!!  This one is for me.

I used Inkscape to generate the single line text using the Hershey Extension.  This is a great tool to become familiar with if you are interested in rhinestones.  If you want to learn more about generating single line text using inkscape, here are some resources for you:

Inkscape Tutorial.
Youtube video.
Information on how to get and install both Inkscape and the Hershey extension.  

The single line fonts convert to stones so much easier, and they are tough to find.  A google search for single line fonts or engravers fonts will turn up a few.  I used SCAL (Sure Cuts Alot) (You can also use MTC (Make the Cut) or Silhouette Studio DE) to convert the single line text to stones. There are higher end types of software out there made specifically for rhinestones, I have just been too cheap (and broke) to get one of them.

If you are interested in the margarita rhinestone file, this one to be exact:

you can download it here in svg format or here in dxf format.The size of the file is in the file name.  Make sure if it doesn't import into your cutting program at that size, you re-size it so the holes are the right size.

Thanks for looking!!

Small Flower Bling

Here is a small flower rhinestone template I made.  I am planning on blinging up some can koozies and wanted a small sized flower.  This is for 10ss stones.  Download the file here in svg format.  Here in DXF format.  When you import the file into whatever program you are using it should measure 1.290 x 1.377.  If it doesn't resize it so your holes cut at the correct size. 
Thanks for looking!!

Fun Font I Discovered

Dinosaur Cut Files

Triceratops

Ceratoraus

I made some dinosaur cut files for a friend's eight year old to put on the walls in his bedroom.  Boys like dinosaurs.  When you are older than five or six though, you like mean looking dinosaurs, none of these T-Rex's with big smiley faces.  So here are the two I came up with.  I am hoping to do a few more as these were fun to make and cut. You will want to pull some of the small detail out of these if you cut them at a smaller size.  The detail was perfect though for the 11.5" height I cut them at.

You can download the ceratoraus here in svg and here in dxf.  You can download the triceratops here in svg and here in dxf.  Happy cutting!!

Attention Sports Moms

Here are some cutting files for the sport's moms out there.  These can be used on shirts, tumblers, water bottles or whatever your creativity dictates.  Lots of options.  You can download the set here in svg format and here in dxf format. When you import it into your cutting program just ungroup the set and delete the ones you do not want.  Then resize and cut!!

I will be posting more of these real soon. I have some other sports mom posts on my blog as well.  Baseball moms, soccer moms, basketball moms.  This is a fun one too.

I wold love to see projects you make with my files.  I am going to start a reader's gallery of projects using files on my blog.  If you think of it, could you drop me a picture of any of your creations using my files to mwinkis@yahoo.com?

Happy cutting!!
