Hi everyone!  Cathy here with you today and I have fast and fun layout using the Sihouette’s print and cut feature.  This layout really went together in just a matter of minutes with this awesome feature!

I used Lori’s Echo Park Summer Bliss collection to create this layout!  First you need to open Lori’s Summer Layout file.  If you click on the images of the files, they will take you directly to Lori’s shop to purchase!

Next, choose your papers and size the files to fit a 12×12 page.  Once you have the scalloped piece sized right, the other layers will be a perfect fit.

I swapped out the original sun and used Lori’s sun shaker box.  I kept it the same size as the one in the kit.

Now onto the print and cut  feature!  First, I cut my paper down to 81/2 by 11 so that I could run in through my printer.  So make sure to change your paper size and add registration marks.  Then add the pieces that you want to print and cut!

Then change your line and fill colors on all of your letters!

Make sure you select “no cut” on all of the outline images, like the note paper and banners before your send in through your printer.  They should be a thin red line instead of a thick red line.  Now send it through your printer.  Here I add the “You Always Radiate Sunshine” quote.

Next, reload it into your Silhouette and this time turn off the cut lines on you quotes and letters!

And tun on the cut lines around the note paper and the banners again, thick red lines.  Send it through your Silhouette and you now have the prefect print and cut embellishments.  Easy Peasy and it takes no time at all!

Thanks for joining us today…I hope you try out the print and cut feature with some of Lori’s files!
