Silhouette Tutorial with Mendi: Thickening Delicate Pieces

It’s Mendi here and I’m so excited to be sharing a simple little Silhouette tip with you today.  I don’t know about you, but I’ve found when I’m shrinking cutting files down in size there are many times when the shapes become too thin to cut from cardstock without shredding the design.  To get around this I have found some easy tricks for thickening my fonts and shapes.  This is also a super handy trick for creating a “bold” font when that option is not available in the Silhouette software.  😉
 
To illustrate my tutorial I created this little Birdie Birthday card using several thin shapes and fonts (along with the adorable Echo Park Hello Summer collection) designed by Lori Whitlock.
I have created a video tutorial below sharing how you too can solve this common Silhouette cutting dilemma.
To create my card I used the following shapes available in Lori Whitlock’s shop:
I hope if you’re not already using this trick, you’ll give it a try!  🙂
