new year card for the year of dragon(é¾)
It is the year of dragon this year in Japan. (Maybe in Korea, China also?)
So I made a new year card that represents é¾, kanji (chinese letter) of dragon.
I made it with a Japanese Hagaki (100*148mm postcard),
but it is scalable because it is vector data.
It would be better to use CraftROBO (http://www.graphteccorp.com/craftrobo/)
but you can try this with your hands also!

Signing UpStep 1: Open the file on a vector drawing software
I uploaded a pdf/ai file,
open it with a vector drawing software, Adobe Illustrator etc.
(If you use an other software than Adobe Illustrator,
I guess you should download the pdf file.)
At CraftROBO setting, you need to set
solid line for the layer 2 (black lines forming é¾)
perforated line for the layer 1 (red lines)
and if you use a Japanese hagaki (100*148mm postcard),
ignorance for the layer 3 (black lines that is a rectangle same sized to the document)
if you use a card over 100*148mm
solid line for the layer 3 (black lines that is a rectangle same sized to the document)
(you need to cut 100*148mm card from your card)
Those who try this with your hands,
please cut the black lines and perforate the red lines.

Craft Robo is really good.
If you can use Adobe Illustrator, it is very easy to use.
Also, there is some free softwares like these :)

It seems craft robos are sold as the name of 'Silhouette' in other countries anyway.
ps you mean ignore rather than ignorance

Usually in Japan, elementary school students MUST do kakizome as their winter vacation homework.
I have not participated a kakizome taikai(meeting) but I did kakizome at home at every Jan 2.
Thanks for correcting also!
(You mean "crease" or "score" instead of "perforate".)
Thank you for correcting also.
