Hi everyone. In the video tutorial below, I show you how to set up one of Lori’s shadow box cards in Design Space and then put it all together.
The products I used to make this card are in the description below the video on YouTube.

I’m a self proclaimed font junkie! I admit it, I love fonts. Have you seen all the gorgeous fonts out there these days? You can buy some pretty awesome fonts like the ones offered by FontBundles (you must go check out the freebies there). Many of them come with extra characters, glyphs, and swashes. However, when you go to use them in Silhouette Studio you can only see the regular version of the font while there are often hundreds of additional characters (glyphs) included in the font. How do you access those?? In order to take full advantage of the extra characters included in these beautiful fonts in Silhouette Studio you need to know a few tricks.
MAC
Below is a video tutorial showing you how to use the gorgeous extra characters included with Michael, one of the fonts included in the lovely Calligraphy Font Bundle. This technique can be used with any properly coded font that includes glyphs and extra characters on a Mac.
PC
Below is a video tutorial showing you how to use the gorgeous extra characters included with Lovely Melissa. This technique can be used with any properly coded font that includes glyphs and extra characters on a PC.
If you have not had a chance to check out FontBundles, I highly recommend that you do. They offer beautiful fonts at AFFORDABLE prices! Seriously, the Calligraphy Font Bundle has 40 absolutely amazing fonts worth over $500 for only $29. That is less than a dollar per font. Who can resists… SERIOUSLY? But, you better hurry because this bundle is available for a short time. Once it’s gone… it’s gone.
The techniques taught in this post will are applicable to any properly coded font that includes extra characters, glyphs, or swashes. If for some reason you run into a font that won’t work, it was probably not coded properly. However, I’ve tested several from FontBundles and they do work…and as I mentioned before they offer several fonts for FREE. Go give them a try.
Designing with fonts in Silhouette Studio can be super fun you can really make some awesome vinyl wall art, heat transfer projects, or print and cut files quickly and easily. Once you learn how to access and use all the beautiful extra characters in Silhouette Studio you can really take your artwork to the next level.
If you watched the Mac video I walked you through how to design the above artwork. Click HERE to download the FREE Silhouette Studio and SVG file for the “My Mother and Friend” phrase. It’s my gift to you for sticking around for this tutorial. I hope you enjoy this FREE file… and be sure to go pick up the Calligraphy Font Bundle while it’s still available.
Have a great day!
Hello everyone! Angi from Twenty Five Smiles here with a fun tutorial for a little girl’s party. I love the versatility of Lori’s cut files. You can use them in a variety of ways. For example, I used her Wedding Favor Box and transformed it in another way.
I decided to make a party favor set. I used Lori’s designer paper and chipboard accents from Echo Park. It’s called “Petticoats and Pinstripes”. It’s so adorable to use for girly parties.
Here’s how to make one of your own: First, use your electric die cutter and pretty paper to cut out the shape.
Next, fold at the cut lines and use adhesive to put the box together.
Add pop dots to the back of the extra cut out of the dress.
Place that extra piece to the front of your box to give it a 3D effect.
Add little pearl accents to the bottom of the dress.
You can make a whole set of these for each girl at the party. The girls would love it.
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoyed my little party idea today.
Someone in my Cricut group was asking if it would be possible to create a Disney themed box card. I answered that yes, you could take one of the box card designs from Lori Whitlock’s All Occasion Box Cards cartridge and then use images from a Disney cartridge to modify the box card and make anything you want.
In my video below, I show you exactly how you would do this. With the Cricut Explore and Design Space, you can literally make whatever you want. In the video, I used a Cricut cartridge, but you could also use SVG files or images from JPG files that you would print then cut and use in your box card.
I would love to see what you come up with. Leave comments below with your ideas.
Hi everyone! Corri here today sharing a quick assembly tutorial for the new Magazine Holder with Shelves. This is such a fun project to put together.
Cut all the base pieces from card stock. I chose a pink to coordinate with the Petticoats and Pinstripes Collection from Echo Park paper.
Fold along all the score lines, apply glue to tabs and form 4 boxes.
The remaining flat pieces are used to cover seems to give your organizer a finished look.
Next, glue boxes together to form the desk organizer.
Apply panels to cover seams.
Complete your box by cutting the final 4 pieces in the pattern paper of your choice.
Be sure to check out all the fun new desk top organizers that Lori recently added to her shop.
