Custom Wedding Card with Courtney

It’s Courtney Lee from Court’s Crafts here! For this card I used three cut files, embossed, and did a little stamping. 🙂

I arranged the cut files on my screen so that they would be appropriately placed and colored according to my patterned paper I was using.

I had to rearrange the words so that they all fit on my background and then I switched them to “write” instead of cut.

Lastly I “attached” them all to the background cut so that it would cut and write together.

For the front of the card I used the Flourish Frame Set and sized it to take up the whole front of the card. Then I cut everything out.

I embossed the front of the card to give the black background a little “punch” and elegance.

I felt like it needed a little “dressing up”. Stamps and enamel dots to the rescue! 🙂

I stamped the flower decor onto the cake in a matching pink. Then I stamped the bird onto the tux with watermark ink and I stamped the heart flourish onto the dress and used embossing powder to set it and to bring the grey from the background onto the dress.

Check out how awesomely these stamp!

That is it! I really designed the whole thing on my computer and just cut it out and put it together. I love that. Because I can design it anywhere (like while watching a movie) and then I just whip it out!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today and it inspires you to combine multiple cut files into something even better!

Using the Silhouette Intersect Tool with Kathy

Hi Everyone! It’s Kathy today with a quick tutorial on how to use the Intersect Tool in Silhouette. I actually discovered this tool by accident one day, but it is awesome! I used it to make this tag for my cousin’s wedding shower… she is having a fun and crazy Halloween wedding, so this will be perfect! It helped me create the spider web “lace overlay” on the wedding dress.

Here’s how I did it….

First, I picked the two shapes I wanted to combine, I used the dress from the Pop Up Box Card Wedding 2 file (here in Silhouette Store) and one of the spider webs from the Cat’s Ghosts Webs (here in Silhouette Store) file.

Next I overlapped the files. I moved them around until I was happy with the web design that was over the dress.

When I was happy with the placement, I clicked on the modify button on the top right toolbar of the Silhouette Studio Software. There are a variety of tools in the Modify window, but I used Intersect, which will display all the parts of the 2 files that intersect, while deleting everything else.

To use the Intersect tool, I selected both shapes on my mat, then clicked Intersect.

This is what remains after I clicked Intersect. The spider web was modified to be in the exact shape of the dress.

When I bring the dress back onto the mat, you can see that the spider web fits perfectly into the dress shape.

This is such a fun way to combine files! I added the updated dress to the tag, along with some other decorations and a sentiment I created with my sketch pens. It’ll be the perfect present topper! That’s it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
