Posts Tagged ‘files to cut on the Gazelle’

There are so many things you can do with the Gazelle, I thought it would be fun if  we create some different type of things. I created about 400 Motif’s to use on various projects. They will be for sale on my vector site, BellaVectorella.com within a few days ( doing a little remodeling over there)   The vectors, also work on the Gazelle…

The draw and cuts are easy to do. Simply take the blade holder out of the Gazelle and replace with a pen..

You can use ANY pen.. you don’t have to buy special pens to use. A Ball point pen, to a Crayola marker to a Copic they will all work!

Set your Gazelle on the slowest speed for these, and make sure your pen tip is barely touching the paper.. ( so you don’t get drag marks) … then load your mat, and click on the ‘cut’  button. In the Control Panel, check only  the blue square.. to “draw”.  The red outer line we will use to “cut” the motif, after the  Gazelle  finishes drawing it.

Double Click on the video below, to start it. I used a Crayola marker to show you, you can use any pen or marker to draw with. It’s very short video under one minute…, just want to show you all , how it works.

After the Gazelle draws your design, go back to the cut panel. and choose the red line.. now click cut. The Gazelle will go back and cut out the motif. I left a little bit of room around the motif, because I like to have a border around my motifs, but if you want it to cut out exactly on the outline, you will need to move the red line just inside of the outline of the motif.

Here is the finished motif, the Gazelle was drawing in the video above and the other motif, is the one I used on today’s card, drawn and cut on the Gazelle.

And here is the Card I made.. I colored in the Motif with markers, added Rhinestones to the center of the flowers and created welded text .. inside the card says, I hope your day is as SPARKLY as you are!  Papers used are my own. Hard to see the sparkle in the rhinestones in the photo below, but it is VERY sparkly looking

If you would like  to make something with this motif, click on the card below, the file will be free for the next 24 hours.

If you create something with this motif and send me a photo of the finished project, I will send you a gift certificate good for one digital download of your choice from  bellakatella.com
