I am proud to introduce another dingbat font designed for diecutters, at least that’s how it started. Silhouette Studio, Microsoft Word and even Photoshop are among the programs that can wrap text on a path but can’t wrap objects … or so it seems. Simply put your objects in a font – problem solved. So here’s my collection of little shapes that repeat or combine to make fun borders and, for the most part, lend themselves to wrapping along a path. Hope you’ll have as much fun with it as I have.
Download Border Bits here and make my day by leaving a comment. This font is free for personal or commercial use but not for resale or sharing on other sites, please. Pinning or otherwise pointing people to this blog page is a great way to say thanks. I’d also love to see creative ways you use this font.

And here’s a video on how to use this font and text on path in Inkscape
09KutUps is my all time favorite shape font! Thank you so much for making another one available.
Thanks so much Kay, you are simply the best!!
Kay, I have been playing with font and really love it, makes life so much easier. One little thing, the capital S right pointer, the bottom line doesn’t line up, it has a little hick up in it so if you line a bunch of them up and then weld them you get a little gap after every one instead of a straight line.
Thanks for letting me know, Tina. I am putting together a fix it list and this is going on there right now.
Great stuff, thank you! I cling onto your tips & tuto’s and tell myself it will be alright .. someday.
This is great Kay. Now is there a way to make ttf fonts out of svg images of rhinestone letters that I have saved? That would be great. In the process of getting a newer version of Inkscape so that I perhaps can. Thanks Kay for all you donate to the Silhouette world.
Yes, Ann, you can make a ttf with Inkscape with a tutorial here on my blog. http://cleversomeday.wordpress.com/2010/02/09/inkscape-dings/ I haven’t figured out how to handle spacing between letters so I’ve stuck to dingbat fonts for now. Another problem with rhinestone letters is that they have to be sized perfectly but you can give it a try and see how it works for you.
I have really enjoyed your tutorials on the Silhouette Cameo. I just got my machine last month, but thanks to you have learned much and love creating using your helpful hints.
