Today I have a mixed bag of goodies, so I’ll just share it all in one post.
(1) Check out: http://www.freeze.com/ (click on Clip Art on the right side). This site has some great clipart for auto-tracing. Be sure to select .bmp before saving and then the images should readily import into KNK Studio’s Scan and Trace Wizard.
(2) Also check out: http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/It has logos for thousands of products in .ai or .eps format… ready to download, import, and cut! While I couldn’t find all of my favorites (no Phoenix Suns, for example), it’s definitely worth a search to see if the logo you would like to use might be there just waiting for you to download!
(3) Lynn G discovered something quite cool! You can copy/paste your images from KNK Studio directly into Word for printing! The reverse cut and print method might be a bit easier with Word since the printing aspect in KNK Studio can sometimes be a bit confusing! Or perhaps you just want to design some images to include in a document you’re writing. Whatever the application, it’s just a matter of copying and pasting to instantly get your images into Word (or other Windows applications). Also, in case you missed it in the User Manual, you can also copy/paste your Word Art creations from Word into KNK Studio and they are ready-to-cut images.
(4) Last and certainly NOT least, I want to share a beautiful cut from one of my long-time Internet friend, Madeleine, who combined four files into a fabulous design that she then cut from heavy black paper. Thank you, Madeleine, for allowing me to share this with all of you! If this doesn’t motivate you to start cutting, nothing will! 🙂
Wonderful tips Sandy, thanks. and a BIG thank you for sharing that Beautiful work of art!!! It is indeed inspirational.
Madeleine, you took my individual files and turned them into a piece of art! I had never thought of combining them in this way.
Its truly beautiful.

Thank you very much for your kind comment Linda. Dawn Grantham designed the files. All I did was pull different elements from each file and put them together.
All the detail in the file is down to the designer, Dawn. The only claim to fame I have is that with time and perserverance I managed to get the file to cut in quite minute detail. Thank you once again for your comments.
Kind regards.
Madeleine
Oh this is so so beautiful! Actually that is an understatement for it is stunningly beautiful! I just can’t stop looking at it and the more I do so the more I can see. The detail of the hands! The placement! All so elegant!
Definately one to display … I would frame it!!
Very well done indeed!
Linda
