Border Bits – a new free dingbat font

by

borderbitspromosm

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.

  5. I was one of those who got my silhouette for Christmas and I SOOOO appreciate your tutorials and files! Thanks! You’re my new best friend!

  6. Kay-Thank you so much for the wonderful Border Bits font and for you fantastic tutorials for the Silhouette software. I am trying to decide between the Sure Cuts A Lot and Make the Cut software for SVG files. Any thoughts????

    • Lisa, it really depends on the kinds of things you do. Check out the features comparison chart I have here on the blog and also try the trial versions.

  8. Absolutely fantastic Silhouette videos! I’m watching them all and plan to do so more than once! Thanks so much for this font (downloaded and pinned) and also for making it so I am actually able to use my new Silhouette Portrait in the way I want to. No other videos I watched are as helpful as yours. You are not only clever, but amazing!

  9. Hi Kay-

    Thank you for the advice about software. I did download the trial versions of SCAL and Make the Cut. I decided on upgrading the Silhouette software to the designer edition. I have really enjoyed using it.

  10. Thanks for your helpful videos. I just switched to the Cameo and am learning SCAL3 and Silhouette software. Your videos are some of the best I have found. Thanks so much.

  13. You are a godsend to many of us. Thank you so much for your generosity in time, talent and helpfulness!

  17. We are having a good midwest snow storm today and I just found your blog and your videos. I couldn’t be more please. I have had my Silhouette for almost a year and I thought I knew a lot about it. Ha! I have learned so many things from you today and I only started exploring your sites about an hour ago.

    Thank you for being so willing to share your information with all of us!

  19. This is great! Thank you so much! Your Text to Path video was recommended to me for a question I posted on Facebook. It is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you for the font and thank you SO much for the tutorial!!

  21. Seriously Kay, would you just adopt me? It wouldn’t be weird that I’m an adult. At all. 😉 I LOVE all of your tips. You’ve almost broken me down into buying DE just so I can do everything you talk about! Thanks so much for the great font too, would have made my life easier last night, but I’m glad I have it now for my next project 🙂 Thanks!!!!
