Experimenting with more Pop Up features

Hello friends, followers, and fellow Crafters. This post is about an experiment. I shared a pop up card template here and then decided to go one step further by making a cutting file to add to it. It's a floating floor. The way it works, is to add it to the pop up card template, do some print and cut designs to add to the floor. You have to make sure they are sized appropriately because, if you make them too big; when you close the card, it will stick out off the edge of the card. Hmmm.... I wonder how I know this. 

Once you choose the graphics, do an auto trace on them, weld a little tab to the auto trace outline the depth of the floor. Make a cutting line rectangular slit about 0.010 to place the graphics where you want the to be.Always  making sure they won't go out past the edge of the floating floor when the card is folded. The back of the floating floor tucks under the pop up portion of the card and will be glued to the lid of the card. The bottom portion will be folded and glued to the bottom of the card. This is when you will see the dimension of floating floor. This card will fold flat so there are no worries about mailing it.

I still have a little tweaking to do on this cutting file so I won't be sharing it today but it won't be long. 

Oh, I also promised, I would share a picture of the Christmas ornaments I cut. Below is a picture of the floating floor prototype and the Christmas ornaments cut.

Have a wonderful day filled with lots of happy crafting! xxx - Debbie

An Early Christmas Start

Here we haven't even had Halloween yet and I'm already working on Christmas cutting files. These were the ones I made today. Included in this cutting file are some blank ornaments and pieces so you can also design your own. The ornament hanger can be done as a Print and Cut.

I cut these ornaments today and cut them in a couple of different sizes. They cut our really nice. I hope you enjoy them.

When I get the time, I'll have to take some pictures of the ones I cut out. I'm ready to get the glitter out. My husband is going to love it....LOL

Thanks for visiting my blog. Have a happy crafting day. xxx - Debbie

This card template can be used for all sorts of fun occasions. I included a tag to cover the face of the pop up just in case you want to add a Print and Cut or a sentiment.

Silhouette 2.7.3 Video - How to Use the New Tools

Hello, I know many of the Silhouette Studio users have already updated to the Studio 2.7.3. If you haven't, you may want to wait. Some of the members on the Silhouette Plus forum have been experiencing issues with the Print and Cut feature. This is why I chose not to update the computer I cut with. I am using the new software on the computer I use to design with.

This video will show you how to use the new tools in the Studio 2.7.3 version and it will show you how to turn off some of the tools you may not always want to have on. I hope this video tutorial is helpful and will make designing a lot more fun. xxx - Debbie
