Craft Edge

Could someone please take a look at this file that I created in insckape? It looks great in inkscape but when I import it into Scal it doesn't cut like I expected. The image with the hame cut out does not have the "window" around it. I basically just get the solid bookmark that I created and then another solid bookmark with the name cut out. What did I not do right? This is one of the first files I have created from scratch. Thanks for your help. I'm trying to make these for my sons kindergarden class.

Here is a corrected version and a link to a great tutorial from dan99 that helped me learn this technique and will help you understand how to get through the process...hope this helps!

I must be missing something in the tutorial because I actually got this link from your blog and is what I used to try to do this... will try again.. thanks!

Dan's tutorial was done using Inkscape 0.46 and you are probably using Inkscape 0.47. Try using Path/Union instead of Object to path.

Object to path on text creates a Group, and you can't use the other Path operations until you Ungroup.
