Cinderella

It is so easy to make a beautiful layout in no time with Nikki's files. I used stickles on Cinderella's dress and the shoe. Can't wait to get pictures for this one.

Finger Puppets with bendy card.

 I loved the card by Samantha Walker from the Silhouette Store but wanted it to be a fun card for my granddaughter so I knew just what to add, print then cut figures from PPbN Designs.com. Instead of piecing such small figures I used the .png.

Sleeping Princess and the retired set Once Upon A Dream. I used a cone shape to turn these cuts into finger puppets.

I print then cut the Happy Birthday title to go on the inside and cut the Princess. I hope my grand daughter will love this card.

Print Then Cut with the DE software for the Silhouette Cameo. I have updated to 3.0.343

1. Choose design, I choose the png but you can also color and put back together the svg file. For this I am going to talk about a png file.
2. add the Registration marks. 4th button at top from the right. Looks like sheet of paper with registration marks. Under style button choose your machine.
3. Now to get cut lines go to 6 button from right. Open trace window. The one with a butterfly.
Select trace area and make a box around image. Now time to play with the different settings. I turned off High Pass and moved the Threshold to 100%. The balloons on my image didn't completely yellow out but I am just tracing the outside edge so it worked for me. Trace outer edge.
4. If you are wanting a white border just use the offset and remember to take away the other cut line.
5. Choose print setting for you printer and print. Button looks like printer.

6. Put paper on mat and I add a extra light in front of my machine. Cut.

 Add the Registration marks and make sure your image is inside the marks.

This is with High pass on and I might have gotten away with this since I only need the outline but I choose to unclick that and use the Threshold to 100%.

 Just showing the cut line, move image back into place to print and then cut or if you like the white border use the offset but remember to remove the first cut line either by moving it out of the way or changing it to no cut.

 I like to add color so I have some idea what color paler I am going to use.

 The I seperate layers into colors so I can cut all that color ar once.

 For the body layer I decided to remove the eyes, mouth and cheeks. I did this by selecting body, going to Objects scroll down to release compound path, click and them move piece out of the way. I did cut the eye and eye brows later out of black. I drew on the mouth and chalked the cheeks.

 I lay out my pieces where they go so I can see which layer goes first. Clue add the detail pieces last like belts, etc.

I decided so of my pieces needed glitter so I used The Rubber Cafe Scrap Happy Sheer glue and some clear glitter so the color would show through.

 Then I lay out all my pieces on the page and usually take a picture and look at it to see what other embellishments I need. I added brads to the Princes jacket and decided that the shoes needed glittered.

Background paper is from the paper Studio Fusion.

Finally I added some ribbon and adhered everything to the page.
