Make A Wish with Burlap by Cathy

Welcome Samantha Walker Fans!  Cathy here with you 

today and I am totally addicted to printing quotes onto printable burlap.  I found it at Walmart in the hobby aisle, and it goes through my printer like a dream.  So much fun to create instant art at very small price!

I chose Samantha's "Make a Wish" file to add some inspiration to my studio!

First, open up the design in your Silhouette Studio and change your page setting to 8.5 x11.  Next, go to ALIGN and center the design to the page!

Now go to Fill color, ungroup the design, highlight each row and choose your fill color.  Keep in mind to choose a bit brighter of a color, as the burlap will mute it just a little.

Next, you need to change the line color on all of the words. You want to change the red color, or cut lines....click on Line Color and again just click the colors to match your fill colors.

That's it...now just click the printer in your Silhouette Studio and your done!  All you have to do is frame it and hang it! 

Can't wait to see what you create with Samantha's quotes and designs!

Make A Wish Phrase

Make a wish display by Daniela Dobson

Hello! Daniela here with a little display you can place anywhere in your work area or your house.

Samantha Walker products used

'you can make a wish' vinyl phrase

antique oval frame

Ornate Squares dies
Cool Summer paper collection

Cool Summer brads

1. Open antique oval frame in your Silhouette Studio, shown in pink. 

2. Go to your offset button and offset to how you like it. I made sure it was a nice edge. 

3. Click on the offset frame and release compound path. That will release all the little pieces inside the frame. Delete all the little pieces so that you are left over with just the frame or the base, shown in gray. 

4. Move the gray frame over to the right and open "you can make a wish" phrase. I sized it so that it fits in the frame, but once that was done I moved it to the gray base to cut. Cut antique oval frame in blue patterned paper.

5. Center the phrase on gray frame. 

6. Turn off cut for the frame edge and make sure only the phrase is cutting. 

7. I used a black Silhouette sketch pen for the phrase. Once that was done, turn off phrase and turn on frame/mat edge. Still with the same black pen it will outline the shape. 

8. Go to offset settings and offset again, mine was to 0.55. Replace your pen with the blade and cut the edge. 

9. Using colored pencils color the phrase. I used Prismacolor pencils in rainbow order. 

10. Adhere the frame to the base. 

11. Die cut a flower from yellow patterned paper using a flower die from Ornate Squares die set. Add to the frame using a brad from Cool Summer Brads.

Thank you for stopping by today and let me know if you have any questions.
