I love the Silhouette store- tons of great shapes at only a dollar each. If you think that's great, wait until you find out that all of the files at Miss Kate Cuttables are only 50c. each! Plus, the great thing about all of the is that they're usually multi-layered! You have to love that dimension! Plus, if you totally live by Silhouettes' weekly free shape (new one tomorrow), you love that Miss Kate Cuttables releases a free shape DAILY! Cheers, right?
When you download her files, you get four. A jpg., a png., an svg., and a pdf that gives you instructions on how to assemble the shapes after they're cut. The bummer thing about the png and jpg files is that even though you can open them up on your regular Silhouette Software, the shapes are already assembled, so unless you want to cut only the finished outlines of shapes, delete these useless files! This leaves us with the svg files. Of course, we all know that you can not open svg files on the Silhouette Software...actually you can! Here's how:
- Open the svg. file. Copy the entire image collection (only one webpage will open up) and paste into Paint or other photoediting software that can save files into png./jpg. forms.
- Save.
- Open up the file in your Silhouette Software.
- Select trace area. Adjust the threshold slider of the trace window until all of your desired lines in the images are highlighed. Select trace.
- There are usually extra lines/missing lines. Fill in empty lines with the "Draw Freehand" tool. To delete extra lines, select the them, press "Edit Points" and delete all of your unwanted points!
Save your image to your project library! Happy cutting.
See everyone next post.
P.S. I you have additional tips on any more crafting, be sure to share! Thanks!
