You guys all know about my slight addiction to fonts.
I realized it was pretty bad a few years back when I was driving in the car with my family and we passed a neighborhood and I recognized the font in the signage. I thought “That’s Bleeding Cowboys (a font).” I told the hubby and he replied “What?” I said, “The font for that neighborhood entrance is Bleeding Cowboys.” He just looked at me like I was crazy and started laughing. He said I download too many fonts. LOL! Perhaps he’s right, but the bottom line is that I LOVE them. They are just so pretty.
Then there is my addiction to dingbats. Those are graphics that correlate to letters in the alphabet. I think I may love those even more. I used them for all my printables and designs, and I LOVE them. They make my job a lot easier.
I’m here today to share some more of my favorite free frames and graphics. I shared with the KG Flavor and Frames back in February from Kimberly Geswein (I love ALL her fonts and dings). She came out with a second set that I told you about in June. Now she’s released a third and fourth set to the KG Flavor and Frames that I’m sharing with you today…
I’m telling you – the possibilities are endless! I use them a ton on my images too, like:
This was the White Chocolate Reeses Fudge Lily made for her first post. I added the ding associated with the letter “V” (the tan shape) from the KG Flavor and Frames Four Font in Picasa and then added the text to it. EASY!
And I used the letter “p” from the KG Flavor and Frames Three font to make the prints for the UH-MASON gift ideas:
I just opened up a new image in Paintshop Pro, added that ding, made it red, and then added the text. Another easy use.
If you haven’t started using dingbats to spruce up your prints and graphics, you should! They are so fun and so helpful!!

Haha! That story about recognizing the font is hilarious!
Just goes to show how crazy I am!! PS – How are you? I feel like I haven’t “seen” you on here for awhile. Hope all is well. π
Thanks so much for sharing these free frames and graphics … I will now be on a mission to learn how to use them on my blog. Thanks!!
Good luck, Cherry! These fonts and frames are so cute and will make your site look awesome. π
These are so cute! I love it. I am just getting interested in fonts and frames but love finding new ones.
They are SO fun, Shannon – SO many possibilities! I hope you can use these. π
Thank you so much for sharing, these are great!!
xo, Tanya
Thanks for stopping by, Tanya! Have a GREAT day. π
Who uses Bleeding cowboys in a neighborhood sign!? LOL. I’m a graphic designer and my hubby mocks me for critiquing the kerning on signs. I’m with you!
LOL – I Know, right? Bleeding Cowboys really isn’t the right font for a neighborhood sign. And I’m glad I’m not the only one. π
Thanks for sharing the update! I LOVE her dingbats and use them as well. YAY!
Aren’t they great!? I seriously LOVE her fonts – she is SO talented!
Love it!!! Thanks for feeding my obsession!! π
LOL – you’re welcome! Glad I’m not just feeding my obsession. π
lol I do know what Bleeding Cowboys is π
I’m new to all of this and just downloaded the KG Flavor and Frames Four to use on some classroom stuff. I’m using Pages right now. I was wondering how you edit the dingbat to make it more transparent or to change the color, like you did in the White Chocolate Reeses picture. Thanks for the tips and free downloads!
Hi Dalynn. I think I may have to do a tutorial since so many people have asked me about this. I use Picasa to add it, and it’s VERY easy. Will try and get a tutorial for it done soon. π
I am curious, do you have to have Photoshop to use these? I just started my blog a month ago and I am totally clueless but want to start using these on images to make them pretty! π Thanks
Hi Katie. No, you don’t need to have photoshop. I create all my prints in Paintshop Pro which is a program I bought for $20. I will also be doing a tutorial soon on how to add text and dings to your graphics for free, so stay tuned for that!
I love your frames!! Thank you for sharing them. I’m having trouble inserting a picture into the frame. Can this be accomplished using publisher?
I like to do that using a program like Photoshop or Paintshop. π
Do I need AdobePro to use the frames in Photoshop Elements 10? I cannot get the frame to insert after opening the pdf that contains the frame downloads, then opening a new file in PS10, clicking on the Text and then clicking capital I (my choice of the frame). I get the letter I instead of the frame. Help????
What font did you use for “Free Frames and Graphics” in graphics with the frames?
Thanks!
