Dingbats are a fabulous resource for a variety of shapes. They are often free for personal use and sometimes you can use them in projects you sell too.
Hopefully this tutorial will reveal the mystery behind Dingbats and give you hundreds of new design images.
*TOP TIP* if you find a shape you want to add to your library rather than remembering the name of the Dingbat Collection every time you need it .... create the shape click on File > Save to Library and give it a name eg Perfume Bottle. The next time you need it it will be sitting in your Library :)

Commercial Policy
Silhouette have recently updated their Commercial Policy with regards to you using Library and Download Designs in projects that you sell. The basic policy is that if you use the designs in cards etc that you give away then you are ok using the downloads without needing to buy a commercial licence.
You can draw inspiration from anywhere and anything you design from scratch you can use in projects you sell. There are also thousands of free designs without restrictions available through a variety of sources.
If you'd like to learn more you can via this link.

TUTORIAL - TRICKS WITH TEXT
In these tutorials you will learn how to use the Silhouette software to merge letters together rather than cut them out individually and how to change their flow to create fancy sentiments and toppers. For best viewing read on screen rather than printing off. The second tutorial will enable you to create cards like the Dad Card Download from a few weeks ago.
