These are a lot fun to do. We get the chance to try new things with the challenges and this helps to learn more about the potential of our Silhouettes.
Not so much magic but my grandchilderen sure think they are terrific. I made some as Christmas cards and never received so much response for a card sent out. Friends and family were calling to let me know how much they loved them.
The cutting files and instructions can be downloaded on the Silhouette Plus Group forum.
You can sign up by clicking on the link below.Not only is it free we have a great time doing challenges, sharing ideas, crafts and projects. You will also find so many helpful members always willing to lend a hand. I created this forum for Silhouetters to enjoy using their Silhouettes even more.So, what are you waiting for? Come join in the fun!We would love to see you there. :-)
With all of the deign potential Silhouette Studio already offers for free. The new Silhouette Design edition offers even more with the new eraser tool, shear tool, knife tool, rhinestone tool and the sketch tool. I've been playing around a lot with the new Design editon. I loved the fact it can open so many different types of files.
I think it is worth the $49.99. Remember, all of the future updates will be free! woohoo! I was slightly disappointed the new Design Edition software didn't have the layers option or the ability to open up PDF files. I wrote to Silhouette America; and guess what? They are working on adding layers and the ability to open PDF files.(happy dance :-)) The one thing I've learned about Silhouette America, they work hard for their customers and have the best support team I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with.
So, what do you think? If you would like to take a sneek peak of the new Design Edition you can check it out on my YouTube channel along with other helpful tutorials.
After a lot of thought here is where I'm at. I started the Silhouette Plus forum in order to help out others. It has been hard for me to even make videos for sale because I 've felt all along; help should be free.
There are so many wonderful helping members on the forum. They offer their help and advice for free as it should be. I thank them for all they have done and continue to do. This is what makes our community so nice.
I started making my free Youtube tutorials today and will continue to make them for free as questions come up. It sure feels great to be back to doing things the way my heart wants to do them.
If you want to check out some of the newest tutorials you can check them out here on my YouTube channel.
I love it when someone has that aha! moment. Learning some of the struggles our Silhouette Plus group members has made me want to make some instructional videos. At some point I would also love to have live Webinars where we can meet as a group having live interactive instruction and live chat.
Visual learning has always been the best way for me to learn. Many other people are just like me and learn faster and easier when they are show what to do. I've dubbed this the "show and tells" of learning.
There is so much that can be done in the basic Silhouette Studio software. I want others to know how learning the software in more depth will liberate them and their design abilities.
Making videos for Silhouette users and those who use similar cutting design software will open up a whole new page for me. I am in hopes of supplementing our household income and best of all; helping others to enjoy their Silhouette Studio software even more as the begin to be their own designer and design with confidence.
Below is my first attmept at making and intro video. I still have a lot to learn with this new software. Hopefully, it won't be too long.
Thanks for all of your love and support, Hugs,
Debbie
Hello friends, this week I've been busy making some new YouTube tutorials. As our Silhouette Plus Group forum asks questions about certain features or problems; I've been making tutorial to help.
Many of us are visual people and seem to learn more from seeing something done. No, I'm not the best at making tutorials. I get so darn nervous but, as long as they are helping out others to enjoy their Silhouettes more I'll continue to make them.
Please excuse all of the ums, whatevers, and other nervous nelly words. :-)
Here is one more cutting file for today. Every month I try to send a card to a special friend. She has had to make a lot of adjustments in her life. Real mail, seems to cheer people up.
This is another Print and Cut, Silhouette Studio file. Inside the card it says: "I just "hat" to send you a little note to say hello." the tag will remind her of an old favorite of hers; Minnie Pearl. Below you will find the link to download this Print and Cut card file. Happy crafting everyone!
