Tutorial | Print & Cut Digi Elements with the Silhouette

Remember my blog post last month about my Elf Party and how I printed and cut out some elves from Kate Hadfield’s “Santa’s Little Helpers” digital doodles, using my Silhouette digital cutting machine?   Today I’ve recorded a video tutorial on exactly how to use the print & cut function with any of your digital elements!

I’ve had my Silhouette SD machine since October 2009, and I love using it to cut out my digital elements for hybrid projects!  Who needs scissors when the machine will cut it out for you?  😀
This tutorial will work with any of the Silhouette machines (the original, the SD, and now the new Cameo).  You just need to use the free Silhouette Studio software that comes with the machine.

Are you ready for some cutting magic?

After the Silhouette has done its cutting magic, I just carefully remove the cut-out pieces from the cutting mat.

Now I have a bunch of elements and journal cards for my Project Life album!  🙂
Digital items from The Lilypad used in the tutorial:

I’m a creative who pulls inspiration from all corners of life—both the joyful highs and the real-life moments that punch you in the gut. Honestly, I don’t think I can pin down a single scrapbooking style for myself, so let’s just go with eclectic. My layouts really depend on my mindset. If I’m in a deep, cerebral mood, you’ll likely see something chaotic and messy. If I’m more relaxed, it tends to come out clean, simple, and structured.

My brain is usually running on several channels at once, so it’s completely normal for me to be working on a digital layout, dabbling in a hybrid project, and getting messy with art journaling or mixed media—all at the same time.

Here are a few of my go-to tools: Digital: Adobe Photoshop CC + my MacBook; Photos: Canon Rebel or iPhone; Hybrid: Cricut Joy + sewing machine; Art Journaling: watercolors, stencils, and artsticks

And when it comes to embellishments—digital or physical—I’m always reaching for messy threads, ribbons, and Polaroids. Always the Polaroids.
