Round and Round we go

I purchased this pattern from keepsakes by design 

and tweaked it to put my own spin on it  here is how it turned out

LATTICE fold and Tuck LESSON with Open Path Font

Many Years ago I made a set of lattice crafting fonts

for fold and tuck lattice cards (also known as many other names )

Back then I was working with scal and the cuts needed to be a closed path, so I found a fun way to make life easy for making lattice cards. Now there are many cutters out there in the world (including  the ZING) that are able to cut SINGLE PATH lines. So I thought it was time to make 

the fonts updated (with more than the old set).

Yesterday I share some Make the cut files that I made using the fonts HERE.

And today as promised I am here to share the "Open Path Font" and 

to show you how to get started using it 

LET's BEGIN

First off HERE IS THE FONT

Then cut on the zing 

IF your cutter does not support then you can go 
HERE

Week 19 Adventure with the ZING and Make the cut (includes MTC patterns)

Last week I mentioned that I have been watching the 

back editions of MTC weekly webinars.

After posting that post last week  I sat down to watch another and WOW was I surprised when Julie mentioned lattice fonts and then Bryan said my name , talking about the lattice fonts I had designed back in 2008. Back then I was working with scal and the cuts needed to be a closed path, so I found a fun way to make life easy for making lattice cards (also known as many other names)

In the webinar Bryan mentioned that someone should ask me to do "Open path fonts " with them. So what did I do last Tuesday afternoon? I got out my old file and cleaned them all up making them much neater and only single lines. Then the task was to find somewhere to convert to OPF, which with all the looking I could not find anywhere. I asked for help from Bryan and he told me what to do. NOW I have a set of fonts that are single lines "Open path fonts" that make the cut supports and "Some" cutters can use .

I plan to share these fonts with anyone whould will want them, but I thought I would make a blog lesson on how to use them first  (Hopefully tomorrow  they will be ready for you all ).

In the mean time  I  do have something to share with you all.  NINE premade make the cut patterns ready for cutting and folding . Here are a few of them and the cards I made them into, I used Alota Rubber stamps to finish my cards.
