Hiya, Today I have a post on the Silhouette UK blog using my Silhouette Cameo to customise a lightbox with a large photo, using Print & Cut to make perfectly sized panels.
I was so pleased to receive this lightbox as a Christmas gift as I've wanted on for ages. I've seen that you can buy photo panels to go in the light boxes, but I wanted to make one featuring a photo of a local beauty spot. Because of the size of my lightbox (just a tad over A4 size) I used A3 paper and the larger cutting mat, the Silhouette 12" x 24" Cameo® Cutting Mat. With it I did a giant Print & Cut and so made panels that were the perfect size for my lightbox. The instructions in my post will show how you can do it too (and maybe help with any large-scale Print & Cut projects you are thinking of undertaking). Of course, if you have a smaller lightbox, you could make the panels with the regular cutting mat.
I used:
A3 Printer Paper
Large Format Printer (A3 or bigger)
Silhouette® 12" x 24" Cameo Cutting Mat
Silhouette Cameo® 3
The photo is the view from our house (taken by my husband) and I think it shows that there are SOME advantages to living in the north east Scotland! What photo would you put in your lightbox?
Bye for now,
Wow Janet this is stunning it is just remarkable. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie, this was the perfect picture for the project. So much more personal than a random palm tree or beach scene.
