Aperture name cards

PhotobucketI had a recent
request for some name cards done with an aperture. I learned to do it from a video by dan99. His link is the Free Templates link in my sidebar takes you to his site and I've included here a direct link to the video for those that wish to try it themselves (though I'm still happy to take requests!)

The adorable bird is from the Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL) forum page listed on the sidebar under Helpful Pages. My SCAL .svg files has some bookmarks with the names - Bruce, Chris, Delores, Donna (and a Donna card), Heather, Jim, Laura, Sally, Timothy. I will try to include a bookmark template there, too.

How to make aperture name cards in Inkscape

So, I've added a few names to the list and made a basic template available.

Carmen
Ginnie
Maria
Sookie

Aperture Name Cards and template svg files here!

The available files are done in a slightly heavier script than the Carmen card above so they are easier to weed without the letters falling apart...it would be easy to cut a rectangle around the name and put a translucent paper behind and personalize a night light. I did a star template in an earlier post this snowy weekend...guess these late winter storms are good for something!

Have Fun and Happy Crafting!
