Silhouette's New Studio Software thats MAC compatible.

Hi All

I'm sure many of you have been waiting for this new improved software update, which has features similar to my beloved Inkscape that I know I will still use for my designs.

I will try and do Pictorials of some of the features that is available with the new Silhouette Studio Software, first things first here is the link to download the new Software:

The first Pictorial will show you how to sent a design to cut. (click on image for larger view)

OK the 2nd Pictorial will show you how too import your other GSD files into the Silhouette Library.

Not all your GSD files will import into your Library, I'm not sure yet if there's a software fault that needs to be corrected.......

Whoooo Oooooo A New Forum

Myself and an Aussie connection have stepped out of our comfort zone and set up a forum to hopefully help Craft Robo, Silhouette and signcut users to use Inkscape to make cuttable files.

There will be a bit of Hit & Miss while we try to sort out the categories, and any suggestions for the forum are welcome; so come on over and join and lets have some cutting fun..........

Thank You Cards for Sister Rosaline....

Sister Rosaline asked me to make her 2 Thank You cards for 2 different people, and I have to admit that making Thank You cards really taxed my imagination so I had to rely on a few QK templates that I purchased......

Happy 18th Birthday Ikenna.....

Was asked to make an 18th Birthday card featuring his football team, a football and a boot. Despite the fact that I had a small amount of silicone glue left to produce the 3d effect, trust me when I say that I squeezed that tube DRY.........

Ooo What a Day for a Wedding......

Was aked to make a Wedding Card for today, and all night long there was nothing but the sound of heavy rainfall, thunder and wind. Hope today's Wedding turns out OK. As usual my favourite Wedding template can be found here on the CD called Crystal Dreams which is a steal for the amount of designs included. As usual my favourite Pearlescent papers were used for the Wording, figures and flourish pattern inside the card. I used a patterned gold foiled embossed vellum paper for the dress and jacket then Black vinyl for the hair. Final embellishments were the paper roses and some Bling......

To Leave or not To leave???

Young lady at the Skils centre that I'm obliged to attend 2 days a week to surf the net for jobs, when I can find a free computer to use and I also trawl through the daily newspapers for job adverts as well. The less said about these so called Skils centres the better!!! A new firm has taken over the contract and Ms Kellie is not sure whether she is leaving or staying, when I spoke to her on Thursday 24th Sept she was leaving hence the making of the card; when I saw her on Friday 25th Sept she was unsure whether she would be in her post or not with the new employer........The butterfly part of the Template was designed by a UKS forum member named 2magpies.

A little behind with postings.....

I have to admit to a little slowness in updating these entries lately, have been busy designing some templates that are only half done; also learning how to use the fantastic free Inkscape programme to make SVG files that are easier to cut on my Silhouette Digital craft cutter. Here are a few cards I have made recently.

Another Paulo template.....

I have to admit that I'm loving these designs that this young man Paulo is sharing so freely, and he had only recently posted the design on his blog; so once again here is my example..............

What a difference the right backing sheet can make to show off the wonderful template design. Thank You Paulo for sharing so freely.
