Make gift wrap with the FREE Tropical Leaves file on your Silhouette. Tutorial by Janet Packer Crafting Quine http://craftingquine.blogspot.co.uk for GraphtecGB Silhouette UK.


Hello, over on the Silhouette UK Blog today I have a tutorial showing how to print the Free Tropical Leaf Pattern file to make custom gift wrap. Do pop over there if you'd like to see how it's done. To make the paper, you don't need to have a Silhouette, just access to the Silhouette Studio software which a free download from here.

If you haven't printed your own wrapping paper before I urge you to to try it out. I don't think I've bought a card since I bought my first Silhouette Cameo 6 years ago; now I may not need to buy wrapping paper either!

The Tropical Leaves Pattern (#269750) is available for free until the 23/07/2108, after that it will revert to the regular price.

Fast and Easy Halloween Notecards using Halloween Ghost Planner Clipart by Sanqunetti Design




Hello,
I love, love, LOVE this Halloween Ghost Planner clipart from Sanqunetti Design. You'd be amazed how quickly you can use it to print off some cute note cards in the Silhouette Studio software. These cards are just 10cm square - perfect for quick notes and to enclose gift cards.

With the Silhouette Studio software open, just open up each design you want to use. The download includes both jpg and png. Either will work for this purpose.

Make your paper size the same as your pre-cut cards. My cards were 10cm square when folded and 10cm x 20cm when open. In the Page Setup window I made the width 100 mm and the height 200 mm. I chose this orientation because the cards pass though the printer more easily that way.



For guidance, draw a square of the size of your card front and resize and align your image as you would like it to appear on the front of the card.

Add text and colour match it to the design by using the colour dropper. Change the line colour to black and adjust the thickness to match that of the image. I used the Kraash Black font (free for Personal use only) from Imagex Fonts, colour matched to the image.

Group and rotate the whole group and position it onto the virtual mat.




Set the size of your card blanks in Print Page Setup. I had to make a custom size for these blanks. Then just send them to print ... easy! Note these instructions refer to using a Mac. It is a similar process using Windows.
