Nancy Kubo collection - shaped card

Have you seen the release of the new the LD Nancy Kubo collection that comes as 

Cut it's and Graphics.....they are are so adorable!

For my card I have used the LD Nancys Party Cut Set (CS) which includes SVG's that I can import directly into my Pazzles Studio Pro software and InVue software.

Cut It's are great fun with my Pazzles or similar cutting machine.

The Cut It files are designed specifically with cutting machines in mind. Each Cut It set includes several different file formats (ai, dxf, eps, gsd, jpg, pdf and svg). Here is a chart that shows you which cutting machines each graphic format works with. If you don't have a cutting machine, you can still use these graphics, but you will need to use a third party software program.

When I imported the SVG file into my Pazzles software I separated all the layers and laid them on my mat as above.

I then took the brown layer, selected DUPLICATE (ALT D)and moved it to the side.  I took the fill out so that I knew this was the base of my shaped card (which I incidentially cut with white card stock).  Still selected MIRROR-ACCORDING TO (highlight left middle button) - DUPLCATE and APPLY. 

DESELECT then SELECT and I used the arrow on my keyboard and moved the left outline to the RIGHT slightly so that it overlapped the other outline.  I then selected BOTH brown outlines (with no fill) and selected WELD.  Select any little inside bits if you like and delete.

You should have your shaped card which will look like this on your mat.

Now have fun with these SVG's and have a go at making some shaped cards.
