Rhinestone designs in svg, gsd and dxf formats

I sort of got the fever for wanting to do rhinestone designs.  I am starting out very simple and I know I will eventually get more detailed.  LOL  Is anyone out there doing rhinestones designs.  I bought the rhinestone kit from Graphtec for the silhouette cameo/craft robo machine.   It contained 3 template sheets, 3 transfer tape sheets and 3 backer boards.  I got so excited I had to try one this morning.  Sooooo I created a simple design to put on my grand daugher's t-shirts which I just purchased this morning.  I bought two pink blank t-shirts, and 2 white blank t-shirts. This design is very simple since I wanted to test how the pattern cut out on the template pattern which is like a velveteen cloth.  It cut out great!  I have the bug now!!!!!  Oh I almost forgot to tell you I bought 4mm rhinestones and they are coming sometime this week.  I can't wait to get everything so I can see if this all works.   Soooooo excited.  Anyway here is the simple design I created as well as the final template pattern attached to the backer board so you can use this over and over again.  How great is that!

Finished pattern on backer board to place rhinestones in

 

So now when I get the rhinestones I will brush them into the holes on the pattern board.  I will then use the transfer sheets to transfer the rhinestones onto the t-shirts and then iron them on.   I can't wait to see the result.  Are you excited as much as I am?  I will post later this week to show the results.  

Thanks everyone for dropping by my site.

Jenn, I have done a few rhinestone shirts and they are usually great. I use a Zing to cut my templates and once in awhile I hit a snag but the overall effect is so cool it is worth a little hand detailing if necessary. I must say that I prefer to use heat transfer vinyl to rhinestones, mostly because it is quicker, but there is nothing like that "blingy" rhinestone effect!

Oh I am so hooked! Two grand daughters who love bling!

Where do you get your heat transfer vinyl - My husband wants me to put it on a cap for him with bluegrass design and text saying bluegrass rules.
