Silhouette UK: Design of the Week - 26th January 2019

Hello, hello and happy Wednesday to you - hope you are enjoying the unseasonable sunshine that we are lucky enough to be experiencing.

Today's Design of the Week is a font - Fresh Start.

I really liked this font and decided to pair it with a Page Evans cut file that was released yesterday - Flower Heart.

As anyone who is a regular reader of my blog posts knows, I like to mix things up a bit and so decided to use the font with a sketch pen rather than cut it out - this meant that I was able to easily journal around the edge of my page.

Also, I didn't want the heart design detached from my page - I only wanted the centre cut from my white 12 x 12 card.

Reduce the size of the heart to 10ins wide and add to the page, slightly off centre.

Release the compound path (this ungroups all of the parts of the design).

Select the outside line of the design and changed it's colour to blue (I am going to use a sketch pen on this line rather than a blade).

Select all of the elements in the design and group together.
Draw an 11 inch square and centre on the page.
Select the font Fresh Start.

Type the first word of your journaling. You will see a green box around your word with a cross inside a circle. Drag the circle to the top left of your 11 inch square - you will now be able to journal around the square. I changed my font size to 30.
