Any font cartridge you have the fonts can have many looks with just a little playing with the design studio
so here we go
1. choose any font and size you want it
2. make sure you check the weld button

3. find a shape
4. size it to suit the end of the font
5. move into position (make sure you check the weld button)

6. highlight that shape and click copy button
7. Click paste (will paste over the top of that one )
8. Now with the single arrow key move it straight across into place

9. making sure all lettering and shapes are welded

10.click on new mat
11. you will have new mat
12. click preview
13. and you will see your brand new font you made yourself

Here are a few examples
this is just the plain font as it comes on cartridge
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnVTtuY6UN_IzV-I77X-KvALOv5DQe2lH4SUBU0snFFmXVQeydAxTGYFxKixNvLsf6Ev1f2_pLB2DIHnp-PnzxV0WxwMSZNGAz6qPq7j4fOpOnLA9iioIimngCuPhDmQ8YIxdsfViGMy3W/s400/Clipboard00.jpg)
Here is it with Triangles on the bottoms
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOvVLZZ5cIafi7BLbutrpGX7G5GCOYAxJ_3sRdOgE1nrg5fS2max4rWqYNmNWZZDj8FYOjaaEq_EZcuO8h29pDkQgNTZHYC2iyv2wFxoeQ9P3qtFfvV5ntHL2mwIKTzfIC4Z3TcxxK1a2h/s400/Clipboard01.jpg)
here it is with dots on more than just the bottoms of letters
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNrilJeZN5lNC3EjdHhtpmuIe2j152JsHjstmBw2mLbaowiJcUThada7UKWk0IAHs6pY1jYGLvrunSEAlCEkiBvVpjLRnp7B5F9jgi4awt_cjFr5luJUrRSO41YpLQUmKTGnJSiNwGdmuS/s400/Clipboard02.jpg)
AND you can use the same idea to put the shapes anywhere on the fonts to make them look very different this one has diamonds
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR4F5A_1xrDhjGqBloqu3zTHh3m1xUdJ6rlhjKCqTWx8VafwXPcMLC0ggp6j0VNaHzHhYwAP-WcuYY31vd1P0M-Adx65FlJQu8WI1-LavLZtHzNGtlRqpp8BsJvNAnaJFzhM0B_NxB8E4j/s400/Clipboard03.jpg)
HERE IS ALL THREE ALL THE SAME FONT BUT SPECIAL look to each

I love the way you come up with these -- oh so logical, why didn't I think of it myself -- ideas. You prove time and time again that the only boundaries in cricutting are the boundaries of your imagination.

Great idea! Now - why can't I think of things like this? I can't wait to try it.
This is just what I needed!!!! I love the letters with the dots on them. I assume that could alsoo be done with the Gypsy as well. I may need to give that a try. Thank you so much for the great tip.
Wow!! What a great idea!! I don't have Design Studio but I have a Gypsy so I know how to do this on there!! Thanks so much for the tip!!
