Unicorn Cake Stitched Layout

Hi everyone!  I’m excited to share a layout with you today that I created with Lori’s 5×7 unicorn card.  You can find the file here in Lori’s SVG shop or here in the Silhouette Design Store.  I wanted to show you how to add stitching lines to your layouts with your sketch pens.  It’s pretty simple and it adds so much detail.

I first picked out my papers and then brought the file up on my screen.  I only need the cake, stand and flowers.  I un-grouped the file and grabbed what I needed, and then regrouped the remaining pieces.  Next, I enlarged the remaining pieces to 14.75 x 18.5.

 

Next I set up the stitching lines for the pieces.  I started with the unicorn face, but removed the eyelashes first by releasing the compound path.  I  cut the eyelashes separately.

 

When I add stitching with pens to my layouts, I almost always do an internal offset of .130, then change my line style to the second stitch design that you see in that window.

It’s easier for me to cut first, leave on the mat (don’t remove the mat from the machine)  and then go back and do the pen.  You can also do cut by line color.   Once you are ready to add the lines just insert your pen and change the setting from cut to sketch, and blade to sketch pen.  Next, let your machine go to work.

This next screen shots shows the flowers, cut three sets in different colors.  This is before I removed to main flower shape.  So you can see the detail you can get with the pens.  I added sketch lines to all my pieces except the eyelashes.

Check out the detail you can get. Love it!

I used Lori’s All Girl Echo Park collection and embellishments.  I added a few punched circles for a border and vellum circles.  It’s just the sweetest layout of my little grand baby!

Love You Layout

Day 30 something of lock down, I’ve honestly lost track of how many days I have now been home from work.  But I am happy to be safe and healthy, I hope this finds all of you doing great as well.

I have a layout to share with you today where I took two of Lori’s card files, enlarged both of them, then used them as the main design elements of my layout.  I had a blast with Lori’s and Echo Park’s new All Girl Collection.  I used the collection pack, enamel dots, the new stick on brads, chipboard, stickers and even the stencil.  This collection is beyond perfect for my two grand daughters…..everything that they love is in this collection including llamas and unicorns.

I used these two files from Lori.  I enlarged the love you heart elements to 11 x 8.5, then cut all the layers. You can find the files here, Silhouette Design StoreLori’s SVG Shop.

For the tulips, I enlarged them to 8.5 by 6.5.  You can find the file here in the Silhouette Design Store and here in Lori’s SVG Shop!

Here’s the finished product.  I love how this turned out.  I love using big design elements when I create a layout and these card elements were perfect for what I had in mind.  So always fun to look through Lori’s Card SVG files and imagine how else I could use them.

 

Thanks for joining us today.  Stay safe and healthy!
