How can I put 1 shape inside another in SCAL?

[Deloris]

Hi there, many thanks for your help, I thought that I couldn't select both things... silly me!

Just one more question... is there a way for the cricut to cut only once where the tags meet? The blade still passes twice even though in the virtual mat I can see only one line.

I'm guessing you designed the tag with a rectangle and just put them next to each other on the mat which is why it is cutting twice. The computer reads the inside lines as two lines along the rectangle. To fix it, I created a scut file with a small space between each tag which will then cut only one time along the outside lines. My file only has one row of tags. Just do a cut and paste to add more rows of tags.

Hopefully this will work for you.. before you group your work just do the one tag then select the heart and tag together and then go path/exclusion.. then duplicate your tag afterwards... I've fixed the file for you so hopefully this helps...

Whoops sorry Deloris.. I didn't realize you had fixed it for her..

If it's cutting it twice, do you have it set on multiple cut? That is another dandy feature used for thicker things like chip board, etc.

SORRY! I have been so busy that I haven't visited for a white. I'm attaching a pic of the finished choc cards for you to see.

Many thanks for helping me out, I really like how they came out. I just couldn't find a way of printing them before cutting as I couldn't make the correct measurements, so I'll simply write her name on the card with a pink sakura gel pen to match the chocs. I'm using a thin ribbon to attach them to the final favours, sorry I cannot make a pic of the final thing, they still haven't decided what to give!

Only thing is that it takes a while to cut the hearts as they are scalloped. I'll try to find a normal heart of the right size for the choc hearts in the future.

Kind regards,
Eva

That is a beautiful idea as a favor alone. I would make the tags a little larger so I could put the name[s] along the bottom of the heart and the date along the top of the heart. You could print the names in SCAL using a gel pen and then cut.

Once again, the possibilities are endless.

Eva that is absolutely gorgeous.. They turned out great... Someone had a video on their blog.. I think it was Papasue and she showed how you write on your cards using your printer before you cut the image out or it was vice versa.. Anyone??LOL
