Dream Big Layout with Princess Dingbats Font + 30% Off SVGs!

I kept seeing all of these amazing dingbat fonts from Lori….so cute, but how in the world to you use these?!   I really had no clue, but I had just received Lori’s new Our Little Princess collection and really wanted to try something new on a layout.  I just started playing and trying to understand how these adorable little dingbats work.  One really great thing is that you get 26 different designs for one price.  That’s one heck of a deal, one design for each letter of the alphabet.  You can use these for anything… vinyl, paper, sketch pens, the possibilities are endless.

I created this layout using Princess Dingbats in Lori’s Shop or here in the Silhouette Design Store.  There is also a brand new Princess 2 Dingbat font that matches the Our Little Princess collection perfectly.  You can find it here in the Silhouette Design Store too.

First pick a regular font and type out the alphabet.   I used one of Lori’s fonts and started with the size of 72 point.  I typed my alphabet in sections as seen below.  You want to be able to see all the adorable dingbats, so that is why you use a large point size.

Next, group your alphabet as shown…then the magic happens.

Now go over to your fonts and click on your Princess dingbat and abracadabra!, you now have 26 adorable princess themed designs.

Now ungroup your dingbats just like you would for any other file.  Now that they are ungrouped, you can manipulate them as usual.  I picked the two dingbats I wanted to use, the castle and Dream Big, and deleted the rest.  Here,  you can see where I ungrouped the castle and start to change it’s size and move it where I wanted it to be on my 12×12 page.

Here,  I have deleted all but the two dingbats that I am going to use.

I put my Dream Big title and the castle just where I wanted them to be for my layout.  Next, I added a hot pink sketch pen and let my machine do the rest.  Such a fun way to create.  I will be getting more of these wonderful little dingbat fonts.  The are just way too cute and easy to use.

And ABRACADABRA! you have to cutest layout for your little princess!  These girl was born a princess….just look at those poses!

Easter Bunny Card and Gift Box

Hi friends! I’m popping in today with an Easter gift idea. This card and box come together quickly with minimal supplies and the bunny and sentiment can be a print and cut. I used the Impossible Easter Bunny card (SVG, Silhouette) and the Easter Window Box Egg (SVG, Silhouette).  This card and box are also available in a religious theme as well if that is something you prefer. Impossible Card Easter Cross (SVG, Silhouette) and Easter Window Box Cross (SVG, Silhouette). I filled my box with jellybeans, but any small treats would work. The papers are from the Easter Wishes collection by Echo Park Paper Co.

I wish you all a Happy Easter and thanks for stopping by!

Princess Castle Box Card Tutorial

Hello everyone! Marcia here today. Have you seen Lori’s new Our Little Princess collection from Echo Park Paper?  There are lots of coordinating die cuts that you can use to create a truly special card for your little princess. I love making dimensional cards so I selected the Castle 3 Box Card (SVG, Silhouette).

Let me show you how easy it is to put together.

  1. Cut out pieces with your electronic cutter. You can use the print and cut feature for the sentiment on the back of the card or use a sticker from the collection. If the pattern paper you are using is different colors on the front and back, you will want to cut 2 of the castle backs that the sentiment piece is adhered to. This is so when viewed from the front, it is the same color as the rest of the card.

  2. Glue the black cardstock pieces behind the windows and door. Use coordinating ink to ink the edges of the paper to add dimension.

  3. Assemble the card front panel, the back panel, and the 2 castle inserts.

  4. Glue the card base to create a rectangle and then adhere the card front and back panels to the base.

  5. Add the box card inserts and then embellish with stickers from the Our Little Princess collection.

This card folds completely flat for mailing (A7 envelope) and is sure to bring a smile to the lucky recipient’s face. Be sure to check out all the other castle cut files in Lori’s store too.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
