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.

Thanks so much Kay. I have a project which I wish to start & two of these “border bits” are exactly what I need.
thank you!
Thank you for teaching me so much! I found you through your “Tracing Without Tears” YouTube videos, based on lots of recommendations from lots of fellow learners on Facebook. I can’t wait to look some more through your blog!
Hi Kay
I haven’t been to download this before now, so wanted to thank you so very much for the time and effort you invested into creating this for us to use… I also appreciated the link to Gisela’s blog to see what she created – so that was a great help, thank you.
I know you are a very busy lady – but wanted to say how much I miss having no posts from you – even though you will be busy doing lots of other interesting things (hopefully), It always makes me giddy to see that you have posted something new on your blog – I especially appreciated the series you did on the Silhouette Software ‘Tracing without tears’ – I credit you and that series for providing me with the information that lead to the proverbial penny finally dropping – as my husband likes to say ‘everyday’s a school day’ lol… you certainly taught me a great deal about my SIlhouette Designer Edition software. Thank you for that…
kind regards, and thanks once again for the dingat you’ve created especially for us users, to overcome something that cannot easily and already be done within the software…

Kay, I can’t thank you enough for the AWESOME information you share with the Silhouette community. You are so very gracious to do so. I’ve learned so much from your video tutorials…just about anything you do I’ve learned. I just love, love, love getting updates stating you have created a new tutorial and/or font. You are one in a million! I think I’m your #1 fan!!! 🙂
