The adventure continues

WEEK 12.

I was only ever planing on doing this weekly adventure 

with blog entries for 12 weeks but there is still 

heaps of things I have not tried or want to retry.

So hope this makes you happy that I will bee continuing.

This weeks adventure.

Having explored the pens on the ZING HERE.

But with using the pens that way  there was no way I could 

draw and cut as the center point was in all different places .

So this I thought i would get the yellow ZING pen holder.

(but instead of using the screw that it has, I used scrap of 

vinyl and taped around the pen so it fit snug in the holder. 

This way i was sure that the center point of the pen would 

be so close to the center (if not in the center) and would 

work for penwork and cut) 

After getting it all set up I was having trouble getting it 

to draw right it would leave little tails on each of the 

drawn things. Trying everything I could think of to 

stop this from happening. (with no luck)

I asked Fred from SkatKat if he knew why.

And he did!!  He told me to turn of the off sett 

and it WORKED perfectly

TIP 

(thanks to skatkat)

When using pens turn the offset to "0"

Now after many try outs I was ready to start to make 

something so I opened inkscape and started to make 

something after many attempts with out luck I finally 

realised how to get it to draw and cut what I wanted.

OH and i set up the embossing lines so I could use

the blue embossing tool to do that too  

 Only thing I was not happy with is i was having trouble 

being able to make the stitches wider.

So first of i thought I would try a dot dash  and made 

another box. Which trying this box and making it 

bigger  than the first  when cutting. I discovered

HOW to get the stitches wider

(design small and enlarge )

 Here is the two together

Introducing 
ZEWZING-BOT
I like adding pen work to my 3D things and this 

has opened up a whole new world to me .

So the first pattern I thought i would try is my 

EC Robot (a robot i designed back when 

i first got another cutter)

Using inkscape I got the stitch lines all ready as 

well as all the embossing lines.

  Designed all the stitching lines in the small version of the 

pattern and then enlarging it before taking to make 

the cut . (Takes a little time to set it all up on the layers

in make the cut , BUT it is well worth it) 
Here he is with out any added extra parts to 
show case the stitching pen work

 And now I added some trims to him

 This is what inspired the chest panel

OH and here is a look at what the difference

the OFF SET makes

Sticking to the theme I then made this 
quick card using the alota rubber stamps digital stamp
and the panel i had made for the ZewZingBots chest.
Used print and cut (robot) , as well as 
pen and cut (frame)

I would have liked to do a inkscape lesson 

on the stitching set up but I did run out of time

but if I get emails of interest I will make it.

 

I am off to explore some more.

 If you live in Australia and New Zealand 

and wondering where you can get a KNK Zing 

SKAT KAT  is the place to find them
