Silhouette Tutorial: Stitching with Corri

Corri here today to show you a quick tutorial for creating stitching holes with your Cameo.

 The first thing I did was create a rectangle that is 5.25″h x 4″w.  I opened Lori’s 11 hearts file and selected a heart to use on my card.   I resized the heart to 3″h (keep aspect ratio).

Next, using the alpha tool, I typed some periods in Times New Roman at 36 points.

Grab the toggle button in the bottom left corner of the text box and drag it until it touches the heart.

The text (dots) will form along the edge of the heart.

 

Continue typing periods until the edge of the heart is completely filled.

Finally, select the heart and click on the cut settings menu (scissor icon) and select “no cut”.

Now when you cut the rectangle you will have tiny holes in the shape of a heart that you can thread with twine.

 

I used pattern paper and some sticker elements from the Echo Park – Head over Heels Collection.

This technique could be used for many types of projects and would be really cute with some “sewing” sentiments.  For example, I love you “sew” much.

True Scrap Pocket Pages Class & Giveaway

(Keep reading because I’m giving away a spot in this class at the end of the post)

We are SO excited to share with you this amazing class! You all know I’ve been involved with Project Life. I’ve designed several editions and worked with Becky over the years. I also have designed several cutting files and digital  products to support pocket scrapbooking. Pocket scrapbooking is a hot trend right now and it’s something I believe is really helping people get their photos in albums and quit feeling guilty.

True Scrap Pocket Pages is THE event for Project Life/pocket scrapbookers! Whether you’re new to the concept, or you’ve been a PL’er from way back, we’ve got six incredible classes to inspire and educate you. And the best part? It’s online – LIVE! Yup, on January 25, you’ll log in to a state-of-the-art web room where teachers like Marcy Penner, Layle Koncar, and Lilith Eeckels will treat attendees to hour-long classes on these topics:

• Hybrid Hints for Paper People from Traci Reed

• Pocket Scrapping 101: Back to Basics from Layle Koncar

• Do You Hear What I Hear? Including Your Family’s Perspectives in Your Pocket Spreads from Marcy Penner

• KISS: Keep It Simple, Scrappy! Simplifying the Pocket Page Process from Monica McNeil

• Playing Big: Adding 12×12 photos and layouts to your Pocket Pages Albums from Lilith Eeckels

• Outside the Lines: Creative Approaches to Adding Journaling to Your Pocket Pages from Stephanie Bryan

You’ll have plenty of time to interact with the instructors live, asking them all your burning pocket scrapbooking questions. And with sponsors including Simon Says Stamp, Gossamer Blue, Project Life, Studio Calico, and Simple Stories, it’s going to be an incredibly colorful, creative, and community-filled day. Oh, and everything is recorded so you can go back to watch the replays again and again.

True Scrap Pocket Pages is produced by scrapbook superhero Lain Ehmann, founder of the True Scrap events. To date, she’s produced dozens of online virtual events, helping thousands of women find simplicity, inspiration, and fun in their scrapbooking.

I am SO excited for these classes and wanted to let you know about this great opportunity to strengthen your skills.
