Letter closer tag and 3-D flower pedal download

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! 

If you look below you will see an example of what the scallop cut out looks like. Just an extra thing to spice up a invitation or card, it could also be used for labeling cupcakes or even cards (as you can see this is one is for my cousin's baby shower coming up). A simple shape that can be used so many ways. I specially love using my stamps or printing something else out. Printing then cut can be tricky, but , maybe I will make step by step or video tutorial explaining the tricks I have found with the many trials that I have done.


Alright, so for today's freebie. I created something yesterday just in time for the holidays. It is a flower pedal/leaf shape that you can use to cut out and create 3-D flowers like poinsettias (basically my inspiration after getting a lot of them this weekend). The basic steps for this is cutting out 2 or 3 of the cut out and putting it together. I actually want to try sizing them a little differently for each layer to get a more realistic look.

Welcome!

Hi,

This is a blog is more of keeping track of the things I make (and how to do them) along with freebies for people looking for shapes, vectors, etc to use for your Silhouette Machine.

Today's freebie is an oval large scallop shape for those who want to spice up a tag or many other things. I used these for gift boxes and back of invitations (with probably be doing some Christmas tags soon).

Here is the Scallop Oval looks like (I filled it in with a bright color just to see it better).



 This is for DXF file (for those who like to use the older version software).

This is for the GSD file which works with both older and new versions of Silhouette software.

I will post examples of the projects I made with this shape soon.
