You can get more out of your Silhouette cut files by using them in unexpected ways. Just because a Silhouette design you downloaded or purchased from So Fontsy was billed as a vertical sign designs or shown on a welcome sign mockup doesn't mean you can't use it in a totally different way!

Of course you likely don't want to put "Welcome to our Home" down your sleeve, there are many vertical designs that would be work for other long vertical surfaces. Here are 7 ideas for how to use vertical SVG designs.
