Score Line Tutorial with Brigit

Hello, everyone, it’s Brigit here, I have a quick tutorial on how I replaced the score marks on the Gift Bag 2 file from Lori’s shop using Silhouette Studio Business Edition so I could use the scoring stylus tool on the Cricut Maker.
You can get the file here from the Silhouette Design Store, but for this purpose, I’m using the svg from Lori’s shop and I’ll explain why. I use Silhouette Studio Business Edition to design my projects even if I’m going to cut from one of my other cutting machines. I really like the Silhouette Studio software and with the Business Edition I’m able to save my projects as an svg which I can then upload into Cricut Design Space or Brother Canvas, you can’t do that with the Basic or Designer Editions and you can’t open svg files with the Basic Edition. What you can’t do with the Business Edition is use an image from the Silhouette Design Store and save it as an svg, the lines around the whole image will save as score marks so that’s why I’m not using the bag from the Silhouette Store. Cricut Design Space does have an option to add score lines but I like this way much better.
After opening the bag the first thing I do is change the fill to a lighter color and the lines to black, this way the new lines I put in will show up as red, makes it easy to line up.
I just quickly add lines over the score marks, I’m not exact here, I fix them and add the diagonal lines when I zoom in.
Zooming in I draw the diagonal lines and align all the other ones as close as I can get.
When I’m done I select the new lines and make a compound path, if I don’t do that when I upload to Cricut Design Space the score lines are off from the project.
I finish by ungrouping the bag, deleting the original score marks and group with the new score lines. I select all and go to file and save selection to hard drive and in the save as type select svg.
When I upload the bag into Cricut Design Space the size is much smaller, so I resize to match what it is in Silhouette Studio, then ungroup, new lines I created to score and select the bag and score lines and attach.
Here’s a closer look at each bag, I dressed them up with the characters from the Cute Halloween Set from Lori’s shop and here from the Silhouette Design Store.
The paper I used is from Doodlebug Design’s Booville collection and Gingham-Linen Petite Prints.
The eyes I believe I bought at Michaels and the sentiment is a stamp from My Creative Time.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!!

Thanksgiving Napkins with Brandie

Hi Everyone! Brandie here with a tutorial on how I made some pretty napkins using the Split Pumpkin Set  (Silhouette store) and the Darling Script Font (Silhouette store) .

I wanted something to spruce up my Thanksgiving table this year. I’ve never had a fancy table-scape and probably never will, but a girl can dream. With this project I will get a little closer to that goal.

For this project I used 100% cotton napkins, gold glitter heat transfer vinyl, brown glitter heat transfer vinyl, parchment paper, and an iron.

First I added the font to my computer then uploaded the split pumpkin to Cricut Design Space.

I sized the pumpkin to a width of 3.1 inches and a height of 3.4 inches. I then welded the image so that when I send the pumpkin to the mat the top and bottom of the pumpkin will cut stacked on top of the other like in the picture. For each name I adjusted the letter spacing so that the letters touched I then welded the letters together so they will cut as one piece as well.

Since my name is the longest I used it as the guide to size the other names. The height is .72 inches for all of the names and the width vary for each name.

Once I was happy with the sizing I was ready to cut. I turned on the mirror image for both mats, adjusted the images on the mat to give myself a little more room for weeding, and cut the images out of the heat transfer vinyl. When applying the vinyl be sure to put the shinny side down on the cutting mat.

I washed and pressed my napkins. I also dry fit the two images  so that they would be in the bottom center on the napkin.

I always use a piece of parchment paper between the vinyl and iron. Then pressed  the vinyl with as much pressure as I could to get a good adherence. I then flipped the napkin over and pressed the back of the image. I then repeated the steps for the name.

Here they are finished and ready for my Thanksgiving table. Thanks for stopping by!
