Mothers Day Cards

In our previous post, we shared a gallery of cards that Janae had created using the cut files from Silhouette America online store.  The files are organized under catagories.  These files were under Holidays/Mother's Day.

There are so many different things you can do with a cut file.  You don't have to use all of the file, you are able to erase or delete the parts of the file that you don't want.  In the card with the flowers in the frame, Janae eliminated the portion that had "MOM" which now made the card more generic for other holidays, or to give to someone who may not be your mom.  Don't let what you see stop your creativity. Look at all the pieces that are available in a file.  Isolate them, join them with another file, add to them. CREATE!

Debbie H. on YouTube has some great videos that show you good illustrations about grouping, ungrouping, deleting paths, creating compound paths, fixing bad cut files that you have purchased.  Check her out.

And on a related subject, but a distant relative of this subject.... I just love the tutorial from Silhouette on how to use all of our little paths and pieces from miscellaneous cut files and odds and ends of paper to make embellishments and ephemera for our mini-albums, cards and scrapbooking.
