Welcome to our March Creative Team Blog Hop

There is so much creativity to share with you today! Before we get to that, I would like to let you know about a few things. First of all is the SALE! ALL shapes in Lori’s SVG Shop are 30% off all week! Be sure to use coupon code LUCKY at checkout. Here’s a link to the SHOP.

Secondly, we have a FREEBIE PNG file to share at each stop today AND every single day through the next 6 weeks, until April’s Blog Hop on the 14!! These handy little labels can help you in documenting your life. Use them as prompts for your photography and journaling. You can pick up today’s freebie HERE.

All of our freebies this month are PNG files and are designed to be opened in Photoshop or another photo editing software. You can then place the PNG file on a photo, tag, frame, etc. They work beautifully with documenting and journaling projects. These would be beautiful in pocket scrapbooking, art journals, and home decor.

Silhouette Tutorial with Mendi: Thickening Delicate Pieces

It’s Mendi here and I’m so excited to be sharing a simple little Silhouette tip with you today.  I don’t know about you, but I’ve found when I’m shrinking cutting files down in size there are many times when the shapes become too thin to cut from cardstock without shredding the design.  To get around this I have found some easy tricks for thickening my fonts and shapes.  This is also a super handy trick for creating a “bold” font when that option is not available in the Silhouette software.  😉
 
To illustrate my tutorial I created this little Birdie Birthday card using several thin shapes and fonts (along with the adorable Echo Park Hello Summer collection) designed by Lori Whitlock.
I have created a video tutorial below sharing how you too can solve this common Silhouette cutting dilemma.
To create my card I used the following shapes available in Lori Whitlock’s shop:
I hope if you’re not already using this trick, you’ll give it a try!  🙂
