Digital Stamps and the Silhouette Cameo

I have been asked to help out the
QKR Stampede and Eureka Stamps
Technique and Tutorial Team.
So I posted yesterday over on the
QKR Stampede blog the following tutorial.

I have also been asked if my Cricut is headed out to pasture.
It certainly is tucked back a tad farther and has not seen the
light of day for a while because the Silhouette Cameo is just that AWESOME!
I love to use digi stamps and digitally color them using PSE10 so it is a perfect
fit for  my design style.
If you have not check into this yet now would be a great time;)

Hello and welcome to this weeks tutorial post.

I am Sara and today I will show you how you can use

your wonderful digital stamps with the Silhouette Cameo design software and cutter. 

(Click on any  photo below to see actual size.)

For the tut today I am using:

QKR Stampede

digi5801 Stringing Buttons

** I will be working with a pre-colored 

digi stamp however, if you like to hand color

your digi stamps the process is exactly the same just open

the downloaded digi file for the first step.  

Sadly, I gave Copics a go and it totally was not my thing so I stick

to what I know and love my Adobe software AI and PSE;) 

Here is my finished card, a CAS creation that looks just fab...

 

Click on photos below for full size pic.

 

 Below you see the printed digi stamps on the carrier mat.  **I did go back and included the basic digi stamp uncolored.  

 Below you see the cut digi stamp images still on the carrier sheet.  The excess paper has been removed...

The nicely cut digi stamp and some dimensional foam tape meet a CAS thank you card...

assemble it.  However, the final look is just stunning.

This larger cut size will hold tons of treats, for my photo I stuck in two Reese's Eggs and there

is plenty of room to spare.

QKR Stampede 3 of Something Challenge

March 1st already?  

Yes, spring won't be too far behind here in SD;) and for my project

today I have broken out the old bright colors from SU.

I know.  I have a bundle left, it was my fave color family for years.

There is also a new challenge from

QKR Stampede Challenge Blog

This week you are to use 3 of something.

It can be 3 images, 3 embellies etc...

Come out and play with us this week we would love to have you.

 Here is my DT Creation for your inspiration, using 3 stars...

I used

digi 9301 Shoot for the Moon

from 

QKR Stampede

For my stars I used Adobe Illustrator CS6 and I used the roughen style effect on the star edges.

I then saved the file as a PDF, opened it in PSE saved it as a PNG and imported it into the

Silhouette Cameo Design Software.

Awesomesauce effect, I love the outcome;)

Here is the CS6 screen shot showing the effect....

Now the file as I worked with it in PSE making it a PNG file...

 

 Now the PNG file is open in the Silhouette Cameo design software

and I am set to trace the outer edges...

 

 Below you can see how the stars were traced (I did move the tracing down, it sits on the stars and you would not have been able to see it)....

 

Now the final cut file for the Silhouette Cameo, I cut this out

three times each on a separate color.  When I was done I was able to complete 3 cards.

You can find this image and many more when you shop

QKR Stampede
