About this template
Sized for a 12 × 12 in mat. Letters are cut from a second sheet and glued on; no engraving is used because plotters cannot engrave.
Included features
- Five outline shapes with exact width and height
- Two-layer version with an inset front layer for a contrasting border
- Text converted to real outlines from three licensed fonts
- Raised letters merge connected script into single pieces
- Hanging holes checked for edge clearance
Limitations
- Stencil mode refuses letters with enclosed counters instead of producing loose islands
- Very small raised pieces (dots, accents) are flagged
- Engraving is replaced by a pen/score layer on cutting plotters

Questions about this design
What does 'raised letters' mean?
The letters are cut as separate pieces you glue onto the top layer. Connected script fonts merge into one piece per word; small loose pieces such as dots are flagged.
Why does stencil mode refuse my text?
Cut-through letters with enclosed counters (O, A, P, R, e, a…) would leave loose islands. Stencil mode is allowed only for text without counters; otherwise choose raised or engraved letters.
Does it work on a cutting plotter?
Yes, for cardstock and similar thin sheets: choose the cutting plotter method. Engraving is replaced by a pen/score layer because plotters cannot engrave.
Are the fonts licensed for commercial use?
Yes. Inter, Lora and Pacifico are SIL Open Font License fonts, which permit converting glyphs to outlines and selling what you cut. The license texts ship inside your package.
