Hi everyone! Happy
Monday to you! Hope you've had some time to scrap this weekend! Today
it's Monique with a fun tutorial using the Silhouette Cameo Sketch Pens with one of the 17turtles Digital Cut Files
called This Is Magic.
I made this layout
about our tradition to celebrate the start of the summer holidays
with our favorite pastry. For the background I used the 17turtles
Circle Grid Digital Cut File and for the title I used one of the
words from the This Is Magic cut file, but instead of only cutting my
title, I used my sketch pen first. Here’s what I created:
And here's how I did
it. I opened the cut
file in my Silhouette software.
I chose the words I
thought I wanted to use for my layout and deleted the other words.
I resized them and
because I wasn't sure of the size I wanted I also copied one. Next I
clicked "send to Silhouette", "adjust cut settings",
chose "cardstock" and then chose "Sketch Pen"
(which you'll find under the drop down arrow next to "Ratchet
Blade"). Remove you Silhouette blade and replace with a
Silhouette sketch pen and click cut.
It's very important
that you leave the cutting mat and the images in place when the
Silhouette has finished sketching your title! Do NOT remove the mat from the machine!!!
Next select your
shapes and click on "offset your selected shapes" (it's the
circles icon at the bottom of your screen) and if you wish you can
adjust the offset distance on the right side of your screen.
Once you've done
that you have to remove the black shapes before you start cutting.
So when you start
cutting it looks like this: don't forget to replace your Silhouette
Sketch Pen with the Silhouette blade and to select the cardstock
option in the settings window on the right side of your screen.
And when you're done
your title will look like this.
Very easy, right? Next a few close-ups
of my page.
This was my layout &
tutorial for the 17turtles blog today, hope you like it! And these are the
17turtles Digital Cut Files I used for my layout. They are available now in the 17turtles Shop!
