New Stuff again :)

Hey Everyone!

Here are some new shapes for you! I am aware that some of you don't have printers for the print&cuts so I have made sketch versions for you :) If you haven't used the sketch pens...I would highly recommend them. They are so much fun and come in a bunch of different colors. Some ideas for using the sketches are:
1. Make the sketch with your silhouette and use colored pencils, markers, etc to add your own flavor and some color to the whimsical sketches.
2. Make the sketch with your silhouette, but don't use the cut out that is in the file. You can use the sketch as a background to border the side of your layout or card.

If any of you out there have used some of my sketches in these or different ways, I would love for you to send me pictures that I can post! rivkawilkins@yahoo.com I will try to make my own samples for you to show, but I have been so busy with being sick, taking care of a sick baby, and trying to invent new shapes, so I can't guarantee it. Plus I just love seeing what you come up with. It makes me happy:) While your at it check out the silhouette blog at http://silhouettemachine.blogspot.com/.  They had a contest and one of the artists did the cutest thing with my birdy :)

I have also decided to actually start writing more info on my blog (hope that's ok with you). Hopefully you can put up with my ramblings. I have heard so much from you and I thought I would give back so you can get to know me. Sorry to those that have so kindly sent me requests that I haven't produced yet. Sometimes I try, but it just doesn't work :( I know its sad, but I so appreciate the inspiration.

One more thing. Some of you ask me questions in the comments and I worry that when I respond that there is no way for you to know. I want to make sure you get your answers, so for future questions please email me. If you don't want to do that, then I guess you will just need to keep checking the comments. Thank you!

Thanks for letting me ramble on! Now for the designs this week!

Connected fonts

Hi Everyone! Wow it's been a long time. We have been very busy adjusting to our new neighborhood and remodeling our new home. It's coming along, but there is still a lot more to do. Here is a breakdown of the new fonts I have made available. In order to get past the problems of character maps, I have replaced keyboard characters with designs. I hope this helps :) Happy Holidays!

Pop Up cards Tutorial

I'm sorry everyone, I really thought I did this years ago. Maybe it was accidentally deleted. Well here it is again. Follow these guidelines for all the pop up cards. cut out all your shapes and remove any negative space that will not be part of the finished design, like the inside of letters, between the letters and the cake decorations. fold the backing along the perforated lines glue around the outside of the design and the bottom part. For the other pop up cards (valentine, train, spring, etc) glue the parts that will not be protruding (in between the letters) glue the front to the backing sandwich the paper with the opening away from you = down sandwich with the opening toward you = up fold along the perforated lines. For the birthday card you will be folding, from the bottom of the design,  up, down, up, down, etc. Sort of like an accordion. The card will start to form a right angle as you go. When you fold the card closed you will want
