When using our electronic cutting machines, we often forget that our most valuable tool is our scissors. Hello crafty friends! Michelle Zerull here today to share some simple ideas to stretch your SVG files even farther.
A few years ago my husband bought me this cloche for my Birthday. I love making little seasonal things to fit inside, but it is an odd size. If you recall, Lori designed the cutest set of Haunted Houses, “Haunted House Tall” was perfect for this project. (you can find the file in Silhouette Design Store or at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop)
I love the tall, skinny shape, but I can do without the spider for Spring.
A few quick snips to the details after they were cut on my Cameo. Voila! No more spider! It was super easy!
I also used my scissors on the 1 Piece Flower Cluster Border. (found in the Silhouette Design Store)
Isolating the individual flowers and cutting them out with my machine would’ve taken forever!
So it appears that cutting with scissors, a skill we all learned in Kindergarten, really is a great way to stretch our SVG’s even farther. I added an accent from Lori’s “Spring Fling” line by Echo Park Paper and a cute 3D flower (found in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and the Silhouette Design Store) and my cloche is ready for Spring!
Keep those scissors handy!
Your Spring house is just darling! Looks like it’s fairly simple too! It works perfectly for the cloche Bob bought you! We just need the weather to coperate and bring Spring to us.
