Many Silhouette owners purchase the Curio to use to cut and emboss paper for scrapbooking and card making. To get the most defined emboss on cardstock, the trick is to score first, then emboss...twice. The Silhouette Curio's dual carriage make this two-step processes one.

Designing a 'MOMogram' in Silhouette Studio (Use Any Font!)

I'm always getting asked how to turn words into shapes in Silhouette Studio. I've shared a few different tutorials on Silhouette School on designing word art, but with Mother's Day around the corner Silhouette School contributor Becky Dykes is here with a fun design tutorial just for mom.   This fun play on the monogram is pretty popular right now with the Silhouette crafters - so get schooled on the technique and then jump on the 'MOMogam' bandwagon!

Mother's Day Photo Shape "MOM" Card (Free Studio File)

It's Freebie Friday at Silhouette School!! And you know what that means...I'm sharing a free .Studio cut file on the blog along with an awesome tut.

Last year for Father's Day I shared a free Father's Day Photo Mat Template Studio file on the blog and it was hugely popular.  So I thought this year, I'd modify it slightly for Mother's Day.  One thing lead to another and I came up with this Mother Day Photo Shape Card...pretty cute right? Also not really a slight modification but ya know...when the wheels starts turning you just go with it even it's totally different than what you originally planned.

This card is pretty easy to do - if you have Silhouette Studio Designer Edition (totally worth it if you can find it around $30.)

The free Studio file (the link is below) can be used a few different ways. You can use it to make a card or you can use just half of it to make print and cut or just a print.

Mother's Day Flower Pot Slide Out Card (Free Studio Cut File)

Soo....a few days ago I asked on Facebook and Instagram if you guys would be interested in a new series on Silhouette School called 'Freebie Friday.'  The 500+ 'yes's' in 38 minutes gives me the impression you might be a little interested. So....we're kicking it off today.  Yes, I'm well aware it's Thursday...but with all this travel I'm doing I have about a month's worth of posts already scheduled on the blog (patting self on back!). Some of them need to post on certain dates - like tomorrow's - so I'm starting Freebie Friday on a Thursday. Go figure...
