Back To School Layout with Mendi + Daily Freebie

It’s Mendi here and today I have a colorful layout to share!  I couldn’t wait to play more with Lori’s newest paper collection “That’s My Boy” paper pad which she designed for Echo Park!  Since I don’t have boys of my own I used many of the basic patterns from the collection to create a colorful back-to-school layout.
For my number border, I cut out an extra size 6 in a contrasting navy to emphasize the fact that she was entering 6th grade.  If that wasn’t enough, I added a little arrow to complete my visual triangle.  For my title, I used a chalkboard style die cut, but omitted the chalkboard and enlarged the coordinating apple.
I can’t tell you how happy I was to finally get a picture of my daughter boarding a school bus for the first time!  We have always lived within walking distance of her schools, but with a recent move we finally lived far enough away to ride the bus and as a scrapbooker dying to play with adorable “bus” themed embellishments for all these years, I was overjoyed.  🙂
To create today’s layout I used the following cutting files available for purchase in Lori’s shop:
I hope I’ve inspired you to look at boy collection with fresh eyes for both genders.  🙂

Silhouette Tutorial: Sketching a Cut File + Silhouette Print & Cut Promo + Giveaway + Daily Freebie

Today we have A LOT to share, did I mention A LOT. So be sure to stay tuned till the VERY end, I promise, you won’t be sorry! First up is Corri with a great project using sketch pens…

Hi everyone!  Corri here today to share a quick tutorial for changing a cut file to a sketch.

I love this “Life is a Beautiful Ride” file and have been thinking of how I could use it on a project.  I turned it into a sketch and it worked perfectly on my card.  The paper on my project is from the Echo Park – Summer Bliss Collection that Lori designed.

 

It’s very easy to do.  Here’s how I did it.  First open open these 3×4 life cards, ungroup and delete the ones you do not need.

 

I resized the card to 4-1/2″h (keep aspect ratio).   Next, open the ‘life is a beautiful ride’ file and scale it down to fit the card.

 

Next, select the card shape and click on the scissor icon along the top of your screen.   Select “no cut”.   The phrase portion need to remain on cut even though you won’t be cutting it….the pen will replace the blade.

 

Select the text and click on the sketch icon and click on plain.  Now you are ready to send this to the Silhouette. Be sure to replace your blade with the sketch pen and select sketch pen in the cut settings.

 

Do not unload the mat.  Replace your pen with the blade.  Click on the card and change it back to cut.   Select the phrase and change it to no cut.   Adjust your settings back to blade and send it back to the Silhouette to cut.    I cut a six petal flower and used a chipboard sticker from the paper collection to embellish my card.   The finished size of my card is 6-1/2″h x 4-1/4″w.

Next, I have some GREAT news! Silhouette is having an amazing sale!
