![]() Once you’ve cut all your pieces, they are easy to assemble.Ĭut all the pieces and assemble the shape piece if needed. this is correct, those lines are not meant to be cut. One final thing before cutting, when you send the pop up piece to cut, you’ll notice the top of the shape’s lines are grayed out…. I colored them blue in this picture so you can see them. This creates the panel shapes inside the card base.ĭrag the inside shapes out to separate and delete the remaining shapes. ![]() Select the copy (only) by clicking on it then right mouse click and select make compound path.Ĭlick on the resulting shape to select and then click on the Offset Panel button on the right menu.Ĭlick on the Internal Offset Button, then change the Distance number to be 0.8. Start by creating a copy of your card base. If you look at the card I created you’ll notice I cut patterned paper to cover the inside of my card which molds itself around the pop out shape. Once you’re happy with the placement, select both the pop up shape and the base, right mouse click and select group. Make sure that the height of the pop up shape is not higher than the height of your card when closed or it will stick out of the top. You can adjust how deeply the shape pops out by clicking on the dot on the center of the shape and dragging down to make it stick out more, or up for less. ![]() Make sure the bottom score line is still aligned flush with the temporary guide line.ĭelete your temporary guide line, and extend the score line on the bottom of the pop up shape by clicking on the red dot and dragging almost to the edge. Next, select both the card base and the pop up shape and align them so that they are centered using the Transform button. Move the Pop up shape so that the bottom most score lines align with the temporary center guide line you created. ![]() Now you want to add the pop up shape to your smaller card base. This will make for easier, shorter cutting time. One final adjustment to the shape… You will want to increase the length of the score lines by increasing the Dash Pitch Number. I increased the number in the base width until the supports were just slightly narrower than the feet of my cat. This is the size of the connection that will connect the bottom of your shape to the base. This is a good number for support and will take less time to cut. I kept enlarging my number until I had 3 struts. By increasing the number in the Minimum Strut Width, the number of struts will decrease. For cutting simplicity, it’s easier to have fewer of these struts. The Pop Up Creator creates a number of “support struts” that will make your shape pop out. Select the shape by clicking on it and then click on the Pop Up Panel button on the right hand side.Ĭlick on the Convert Selected Shapes in the Pop Up Menu. Next move everything off your mat, but the traced shape. This line will be used as a guide and deleted later. I added a solid line and centered it to the smaller piece. I added a dashed score line to the larger piece using the line creator and centered it so the card would fold in half. The second piece is slightly smaller at 8.375″ x 5.375″. ![]() You also want to create two card base pieces, my first piece (pink) is 8.5″ h x 5.5″ w. Then trace your shape using the trace tool in Silhouette. This is such a fun way to use all the shapes in your Silhouette Library! I made this sweet kitty Valentine card using the cat from Lori’s Bobble Head Card Cat ( SVG, Silhouette) and the Pop Up Creator. Sticky notes are a great addition with Silhouette Studio® 4.Hi Everyone, It’s Kathy today with a fun tutorial showing how to use the Silhouette Pop Up Creator which is available in Silhouette Design Studio starting with version 4.1. This sticky note will stay with the file so you can remember important details you choose to keep. The size of the note is adjustable, but even if you extend text onto the cutting area, no part of the note will cut. So the sticky not lets us save any pertinent information we want to remember. This is important because once we weld this text, the font information will be lost because welded text becomes an object and doesn’t remain as text. In this example, we’ve got a calendar page and want to remember what font and size we are using for the header so we can make all the calendar headers the same, even if we come back to it later. There are plenty of reasons you might want to keep notes saved with your file. These can be placed anywhere that’s convenient on your page, and the notes will not be cut. This feature is available to all users of Silhouette Studio®, no matter what edition you use. In Silhouette Studio® 4.1, you can add notes to your files. ![]()
