Myrna kindly let me know that my original SVG wasn't working for her so I've spent a couple of hours doing everything, with my limited knowledge of Illustrator, I could to tidy the file up. I cleaned up the design then joined all of the paths, then grouped, then compounded it. I have changed the name of the files from 'loopy square' to 'loopy frame' so you will know which the new one is :)
I really hope this works for you all now, I have tested it on my CraftRobo so the GSD files should be fine but it would be great to hear about the others and get them right to start with before I upload any more that might not work for you.

Ginger let me know that some cutters can use AI (Abode Illustrator) files so I have popped todays Loopy Square up and it would be great to hear how you get on with it :)
Another heads up that I've added a pdf section to the cut file downloads, hopefully that will enable more of you to use the files in your cutting machines. Thanks again Helene :)

Hiyah!
Today is the day I start to bring you my own cut files, as a beginner to this 'ole computer thing and programs like Photoshop and Illustrator, I honestly can't tell you how excited I am about this and I have absolutely tons of ideas. First things first however, I have tested the GSD file on my CraftRobo(Silhouette) but as I don't have a Cricut machine I will need to rely on feedback for the SVG files so I'd be very grateful if you could let me know if they work ok or if I need to do anything specific to alter them.
I had a request for sympathy sentiments so todays card is a sympathy card but as I was finishing it I felt that this would work really well for a wedding card too with just a change of image and sentiment. I embossed a piece of card using the leaves texture plate from Fiskars and stuck to my card base. I printed then coloured my image lightly with prismas then cut my loopy square and layered with spellbinder squares and scalloped square using 3D foam pads. I finished the card with some narrow white ribbon.

Good Morning :)
I have been learning how to use my CraftRobo/Silhouette and in order to create the SVG files so that the cut files can be used on your Cricut machines too I have also started to learn Adobe Illustrator. This is going to be a bit of a learning curve for me so please bear with me and I'll keep working at it, I have designed my first cut file and it should be up in my next post :)
Ok, in the meantime here is a card I made for a family member. I scored my card base with my new Martha Stewart score board, I already know I'm going to love this thing! I knew I wanted to use this gorgeous card from the DCWV spring mat pack, it is a mass of glittery flowers which you can't quite see in the photo. My sentiment is made up of printing and die cut letters and framed with a die from Joy (cut and emboss dies similar to Spellbinders). I threaded some ribbon through a Spellbinders Lotus border, used their Jumbo scallop border for the bottom edge and finished with some flower shaped buttons.
Stuff & Things: Spellbinders Lotus & Jumbo Scallop Borderabilities, Joy Die, DCWV Spring & Pastel Mat stacks, White cardstock, Martha Stewart Score Board, Cuttlebug Babyface dies, Tonic Paper Cutter, 1/2 inch Ribbon, 3D Foam Pads, Flower Buttons, Tonic Scissors, Big Shot.
