More than one way to .............


can't finish this saying (since I am a cat lover), but you know what I am talking about.  Thanks to Shakeya Levell-Pericles who commented on last video, there is another way to accomplish same thing.  I run through it in the video below "and" show how to insert pattern instead of color on one of the balloons, plus combine them to make another cut file.  Several tips in this video as well as I run into some unexpected issues and show you ways to correct them.  Hope it is useful

Quick tutorial and explanation of how to get rid of black box

I just did a quick video on why and how to get rid of black box around items you colorize in Silhouette Studio, primarily in my case for cut and print (stickers of course).  I have tried to isolate this technique so it is not buried in a longer video.  The link to the bundle I got this image from is here: http://bit.ly/2kStSjX

Digital Flower Arranging in Silhouette Studio for sticker making

I will probably do several of these videos showing how to combine elements to make new images, in this case floral arrangements.  Through this process, you learn a lot, most I have included in previous videos, but it is through repetition of the process we get adept at working with the wonderful tools in Silhouette Studio.  Hope you enjoy it:

Faux Quilting in Silhouette Studio using September Bundle

For those of you who purchased the re-release of Hungry JPEG September Bundle, you might be able to play along with me while I demonstrate how to do even more with these images.  The September bundle will only be available for a short time and has so many goodies in it.  You can use the tips/techniques I cover in this video for many images which you might already have, so have fun:


I quickly reviewed this September bundle last year when it first came out and you can see that posting here:

Stay tuned for another quick (I hope) video on how to get even more from your images, I will be using the "Pumpkin Season" graphics again from the September Bundle, but wait till you see how I use this image, you won't believe it came from the fall season images when you see it, hint, if you are a cat lover, you might especially love it.
