Tuesday Freebie + New in Shop

TODAY & TOMORROW, this SVG file is FREE with Purchase.

First off, I wanted to talk to the Cricut Explore users out there. Cricut just launched Design Space 2.0. The good news is that SVG files now come in at the original size!! This is so great. There really isn’t any need to reference the “cut size” info any more.  If you have any issues with score marks staying in place please contact me for updated files. I am more than happy to help you get files that are working smoothly for you. I promise that I’m working hard to make sure my files are Cricut Explore compatible. Each time they upgrade their software, it seems to bring up a new issue, but I will make sure my customers are happy and get you the files you need. And, once I update a file, I am replacing it in the shop so future customers are receiving the most current file. Please contact me right away if you have any concerns with your files by emailing me at info@loriwhitlock.com. I love my customers! Without you, I would not be designing. Thank you for your loyalty.

Cutting Acetate with the Silhouette Tutorial by Tya

Hi friends – today I am here to show you a fun technique using acetate! I am a sucker for cute packaging so when I was pondering about what to do my tutorial on for this month I knew I wanted to share this one with you. I decided to do a couple of colorful St. Patrick’s Day Favors to show off this technique. It just wouldn’t be the same if you couldn’t see the Skittles and Gold Coins that these boxes hold, so when you really want to show off what is inside your packaging or if your treats fit a holiday or a theme like my treats do, acetate is the way to go!  It may seem basic and easy, but it is so fun to use something other than cardstock and pattern paper when using our digital cutting machines.

 

I use this brand of acetate (also know as transparency film) for my projects. It cuts beautifully in my Silhouette machine.  Apollo Transparency Film

Apollo® Plain Paper Copier Transparency Film, Clear, 8 1/2in.(W) x 11in.(H), 100/Box
Here are the steps to my project –
1- Open up Silhouette program.
2- Find the 2 box cut files and place them in the workspace.
When deciding what boxes to use from Lori’s library – I chose to use 2 of my favorite boxes to use with acetate. I love these boxes because they require no gluing – which can be tricky with acetate because a lot of the adhesives show through so these boxes were perfect. I used the Santa Petal box (minus the “santa” parts) and the No Glue Gable Box.I used some of Lori’s darling Hang Tags well.

3- Since the acetate is fairly thick, I used the textured cardstock settings (Blade Depth 6, Cutting speed 3, Thickness 33. I also checked the Double Cut box to make sure that the cuts are nice and deep and this also helps when you go to fold up the boxes.

So my challenge to you is to go pick up some of this fun medium from your local office supply store and try your hand at this fun technique. Thank you for stopping by!
