Cut that one and rearrange so only the next color is inside the cut area.<br /><br />To make sure I don't lose a piece I always keep an 'original' over the left of my cut area. I copy everything over to the right of the cut area and as I move each color on to the mat and cut it then I delete it from the mat and move the next one over. That way you still have all the original design to the left in case you accidentally resize something or delete it before you realize it didn't cut properly, etc.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08871177269865834037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-33888527702524079072016-07-19T14:23:17.181-04:002016-07-19T14:23:17.181-04:00I would simplify the layering by making the brown ...I would simplify the layering by making the brown all one big piece and cutting the sprinkle shapes out of the pink frosting.

For example, if you lay out all the pieces on one 8 1/2 x 11 page for a small cupcake and have grid marks on, you can see exactly where you want each color. I think it helps to print a copy as well to figure out the positioning. Cut pieces of different colored vinyl a bit larger than what is needed and position them on the cutting mat. You need to leave a bit of space between the design pieces to allow space for the extra vinyl around each piece to be cut. Hope that makes sense.Eileen The Artful Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11281091759658067977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-41326378657599588842016-06-28T10:22:13.025-04:002016-06-28T10:22:13.025-04:00Wow this was great.I've never understood how t...Wow this was great.I've never understood how to use"subtract all".<br />I learned a lot on this one.Thanks\.dvshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12298653109106323609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-16446280743114243182016-06-28T09:57:30.361-04:002016-06-28T09:57:30.361-04:00This clears up so many of my problems.

I duplicated the brown layer and then lined it up as best I could on the dark pink. Is it hard to deal with such tiny pieces like the sprinkles or did the cupcake just make good tutorial for learning this technique? Also, for the question above about using different colors, there is another tutorial on how you pause the Silhouette to change vinyl colors. Or is it easy enough to stick the different colored vinyl to sections of your mat and cut it all at once?Lisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021963321489275438.post-25359646959712287662016-06-28T07:50:59.319-04:002016-06-28T07:50:59.319-04:00I know this probably a dumb question.
