Are you finding yourself with a growing collection of SVG files which you’ve acquired from outside the Silhouette store? While it is fairly easy to import them into your Silhouette library, I’ve found myself really missing the color thumbnails that come with the shapes purchased directly from the Silhouette store.
I’m happy to say that with a little creativity I was able to find a couple different ways around this which have solved this problem and made a huge difference for me when I’m searching for the perfect shape from within my personal library! Today I thought I would share my little tricks with you… (On a side note, make sure to click on the gear in the bottom right-hand corner and select 1080p to view the video at the highest resolution).
Of course no blog post seems complete without a project to share so I decided to create a card with the cutting files used in today’s video.
This card was made with the beautiful Reflections: Fall collection which Lori designed for Echo Park. For my pocket, I used Lori’s folder cutting file by stitching down the sides and inserting a journaling card from the collection for a fun interactive element.
I hope you’ve found the tutorial helpful. 😉
Awesome tutorial Mendi — going to start organizing all my shapes today! Thanks 🙂
This is exactly what I need!! I love your ideas. This has been bothering me for awhile!! I can’t wait to get organized!
Thanks – great idea!
I need your work!greetings from vienna
Awesome tutorial Mendi and love the card!!
Wow! Thanks so much! I didn’t know you could do that! Now I can make all my thumbnails pretty!
Cute card!
How adorable! And great tips on the thumb nails! That is such a chore trying to remember what things should look like sometimes! LOL! This will help when I am picking out my colors too! Thanks!
Feedback – it would be great if there was a calendar plug-in on the sidebar of your website where you could easily click to get to a post on a particular day.
What an interesting idea! I’m going to start doing this to see if it makes a difference. I think as my library grows, it might make identifying patterns easier. It’s definitely worth trying.
How can I change the color of my tool bars. I see in the video Mendi’s are green. New user here. Thanks!
