i have seen these a few times but could never locate a cut file. So, being an advanced user of Illustrator i looked at the pics i've seen and created my own SVG file. I had never seen this cut in card stock before so i wanted to see what it would do. I made a really neat nest or Bell perhaps. this was cut with scrap, but will look awesome with some of the special papers that are out there...

enjoy
It was cut from SCAL on my MAC using the Expression. and set to 5 inches in SCAL

Very cool file. I also use Illustrator. When I open the file, I see you have 65 layers. Wow. Just curious why so many?

hey there, glad you like it.
i know Illustrator well, but this is my first use of the SVG format. so perhaps it is the translation to SVG.
i opened the SVG file in CS3 and only see one layer. That single layer (parent Layer) has multiple elements which are tracked individually. are these the layers that you are seeing?

I use CS, so this may be how it translated to my older version. Are you going to try other shapes? It is really cool.

My apologies too. It's just the way it read to me.
i have read many other forums and the people always bite at each other when it is never needed. i have never joined any forums before because of that. and i recently joined this one and one other
i am happy we cleared things up
now let's get to cutting!!!
