I have been selling my cutting files through the Silhouette Online Store for almost a year now and I will continue to do so. But I am also offering those designs through my new website <a href="http://3dcuts.com/">3DCuts.com</a>. People that use other cutting machines have been asking for my files for a long time and I need a different mechanism for reaching them.<br />
<br />
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
Moving to <a href="http://www.3dcuts.com/">http://www.3dcuts.com</a></h2>

Here I have the tutorials for all my Silhouette files before April, 2014. This site will stay open because those files all have links in the Silhouette Store to these tutorials. And many of you have pinned these as well.<br />
<br />
But from April 1, 2014 on all my new tutorials will be on the 3Dcuts.com site <a href="http://www.3dcuts.com/tutorials/" target="_blank">here</a>. And the links in the Silhouette Store for those projects will take you directly there. Those files will start with the <a href="http://www.3dcuts.com/alphabet-shadow-boxes" target="_blank">Alphabet Shape Shadow Boxes</a>.<br />
<br />
The Silhouette Store has a very restrictive pricing policy. My new website has much more flexibility and I can offer groups of products for reduced rates. Visit and check it out! Understand that I do not sell .studio files from my new website. I sell .svg, .pdf, and .dxf files there. But your Silhouette Designer Edition Software can use the .svg files.<br />
<br />
We can continue to craft together, just from a new place!<br />

<b>Project Description:</b><br />
Here is a great beginner project. It is a simple and easy pattern to create adorable 3-D bunnies with floppy ears. Use print paper with a white backing to give a contrast to the design. The cutting file includes the grass accent file as well as the bunny in three sizes.<br />

<b>3D Bunny Tutorial:</b></h2>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Tutorial assembled using Silhouette Software Release 2.7.18. This tutorial assumes you already know how to use the Silhouette and Silhouette software. It can be cut on both Cameo and Portrait Silhouette machines.</blockquote>
<h2>
<b>Supplies Needed:</b></h2>
<ul>
<li>Template from Silhouette On-Line Store <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=56459" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<li>Paper Glue</li>
<li>Silhouette Cameo or Portrait</li>
<li>Heavy Paper</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<b>Steps for completing the 3D bunny project project:</b></h2>
<b>1. Download the cutting file</b> for your Silhouette Cutting machine from the Silhouette Online Store. This is what the file looks like.<br />
<br />

<b style="text-align: left;">2. Prepare and cut the file.</b><br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>Cut the grass from the file and paste into a new file. You will cut that from green paper.</li>
<li>The parts may be grouped together. Click on it once to select it, then go up to the OBJECT Menu in the Silhouette software and select UNGROUP. This will split it into the separate pieces which you can copy and paste into new Silhouette files (FILE Menu to NEW).</li>
<li>Cut the bunnies from heavy weight paper that can be curled. I purchased one of those big books of 12 x 12 papers for scrap booking on sale last year. It had a perfect array of spring pastels in many prints and I went wild in the pink and purple section. From each sheet I could cut a family of bunnies.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Once cut, I peeled them off the mat.</li>
</ul>

This one isn't up yet but an entire alphabet shadow box series is! Stop by and see in this set of cutting files with endless craft possibilities. There is also a freebie <a href="http://www.3dcuts.com/free-download" target="_blank">here</a>.</i><br />
<h2>
<b>Project Description: </b></h2>
This shadow box is composed of 4 cut files assembled in layers to create an early spring shadow box showing those first crocus' bravely jutting out of the snow. This file does have pieces requiring a Cameo cutting mat however the entire file can be reduced to fit on a Portrait cutting mat. The Cameo size is about 7.25" square. The Portrait version would be about 6" square.<br />

Download the cutting file</b> for your Silhouette Cutting machine from the Silhouette Online Store. All of the patterns for this project are in Silhouette download. They need to be separated. Below are some detailed instructions.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Prepare the files:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The downloaded Silhouette file looks like this. Each of the 4 frame parts has to be copied and pasted into a new Silhouette file. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The file probably arrives all grouped together. Click on it so it is selected and go up to the OBJECT Menu and down to UNGROUP.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Click on each frame/ grouping and copy it - EDIT menu to COPY. Make sure you get all the pieces and that none are left behind.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Open a new file - FILE Menu to NEW and paste the frame into it. You can group any like parts together. I grouped Frame 3 with the back snow hill.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Copy the other parts to new files and cut like colored objects together. All are marked on the file. Note: the gray letters do not cut.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This file is designed to work on the Cameo Cutting machine because several of the parts are wider than 8". You can group the entire file and shrink it together and try it on a Portrait but the final project will be smaller - about 6" across when complete.</div>

<div>
<ul>
<li>Note each cut file has dotted lines. These are fold lines. </li>
<li>Note the cut out number. This should be in the upper left corner. All frames are numbered to help in the instructions and construction. Always make sure the corner with the number cutout is in the upper left corner.</li>

<b>6. Slide the frames together to get a placement understanding for the 4 crocus groups.</b></div>
<ul>
<li>The crocus groups can be arranged in any way you like. I will guide you in the way I did it but there are other variations that will be just as effective.</li>
<li>Start by determining where each will be placed and which side will be to the front.</li>
<li>First slide the frames together WITHOUT gluing them. Number 4 goes on the back facing front, 3 gets slide inside # 2 from the back, and the the combine unit of 2 and 3 slides inside #4. Finally #1 (black) slides around all of them from the front. The schematic below shows how the frames nest together. Frame 1 is black, 2 is blue, 3 is green and 4 is red in this drawing.</li>

<b>7. Attach the crocus groupings to the frame bases.</b></div>
<ul>
<li>You can certainly use artistic license here and arrange the crocus groupings in any arrangement that suits you. I recommend using removable glue dots so you can reposition them a few times, and then a permanent glue dot once you have decided. Here is what I did:</li>
<li>The smallest grouping was put in the right corner of base # 3 tucked right up against the edge. </li>

<b>Project Description: </b></div>
The Ledge Village is series of 3D buildings and accessories that can be combined in a mix and match fashion to build tiny villages on small ledges around your home. The buildings are thin, with all detail on the front so they fit on small trim ledges. This tutorial is for the Country Chapel. I decided the town needed another church because my original design can't be cut on the Silhouette Portrait. This one can. I also chose to use gothic influences to give more variety to Ledge Village. The file comes with a couple of sections of picket fence and an evergreen shrub.<br />

Download the cutting file</b> for your Silhouette Cutting machine from the Silhouette Online Store. All of the patterns for this project are in Silhouette download. They need to be separated and expanded. Below are some detailed instructions with photographs.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Prepare the files:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>The downloaded Silhouette file looks like this. Each of the 4 frame parts has to be copied and pasted into a new Silhouette file and enlarged. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The file probably arrives all grouped together. Click on it so it is selected and go up to the OBJECT Menu and down to UNGROUP.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Click on each frame/ color group and copy it - EDIT menu to COPY.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Open a new file - FILE Menu to NEW and paste the frame into it. You can group any like parts together. I grouped Frame 1 with the hanger and the black bird parts.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Copy the other parts to new files and cut like colored objects together. All are marked on the file. Note: the gray letters do not cut.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This file is designed to work on the Cameo Cutting machine because several of the parts are wider than 8". You can group the entire file and shrink it together and try it on a Portrait but the final project will be small.</div>

<div>
<ul>
<li>Note each cut file has dotted lines. These are fold lines. </li>
<li>Note the cut out 1. This should be in the upper left corner. All frames are numbered to help in the instructions and construction. Always make sure the corner with the number cutout is in the upper left corner.</li>

<b>Project Description:</b><br />
Using some classic Scandinavian motifs as inspiration, I have designed three tea light luminaries to grace a Valentine table or mantle. Add an LED tea light to each. All three are made the same way but each cutting file is different in size and base decoration. The tallest is 11.5 inches tall, middle is 9.5 inches tall and the shortest is 8.25 inches high. They make an attractive grouping together.<br />

<h2>
<b>Valentine Tea Light Luminaire Tutorial:</b></h2>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Tutorial assembled using Silhouette Software Release 2.7.18. This tutorial assumes you already know how to use the Silhouette and Silhouette software. It can be cut on both Cameo and Portrait Silhouette machines.</blockquote>
<h2>
<b>Supplies Needed:</b></h2>
<ul>
<li>Template from Silhouette On-Line Store</li>
<li>Paper glue</li>
<li>Silhouette Cameo or Portrait</li>
<li>Card Stock</li>
<li>LED Tea Light ( Do not use real candles!)</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<b>Steps for completing the Valentine Luminaire:</b></h2>
<b>1. Download the cutting file</b> for your Silhouette Cutting machine from the Silhouette Online Store. There are three separate files:<br />
<ul>
<li></li>
<li>3D Valentine Luminaire - Tall <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=53984" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<li>3D Valentine Luminaire - Medium <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=53983" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<li>3D Valentine Luminaire - Small <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=53982" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<br />
</ul>
<br />
<b style="text-align: left;">2. Prepare and cut the file.</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>For Portrait Users: </b></li>
<li>All pieces fit within an 8 x10 cutting area but you will have to rearrange them to do so.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>For Both Cameo and Portrait users: </b><br />
<ul>
<li>The parts will need to be separated by paper color. I used 8.5 x 11 card stock and split them up according to this diagram.</li>
<li>I know the view is tiny but if you look on the actual cut file, I provided some simple instructions on which groups need to be cut from which color. Of course you can be creative and try something different as well!</li>
<li>Note: If the file is grouped together, select it by clicking on it, go up to the OBJECT MENU in the Silhouette software, and down to the UNGROUP command. This will allow you to copy individual elements and paste in a new file (FILE MENU to NEW).</li>
</ul>

<b>Project Description:</b><br />
Here is another 3D tree design, this time for Valentines Day. I designed and made this shortly after getting my Silhouette about a year ago. It is a complex cut with easy construction afterwards! I have uploaded two different patterns for this tutorial, one has solid hearts and the other is open. You can resize the pattern and make a collection in various sizes and shades of red, pink and white for a stunning centerpiece. It is both Cameo and Portrait friendly.<br />

<b>Project Description:</b><br />
I have modified my <a href="http://www.ashbeedesign.com/2013/12/diy-christmas-card-2013.html" target="_blank">2013 Christmas Card design</a> for several Valentine applications. All are based on the same two layer accordion fold technique. This tutorial covers both the Valentine accordion variations - the XOX and the Heart. Here are the finished designs. They are sized to fit in a standard A2 Invitation envelope.<br />

<b>Accordion Valentine Card Tutorial:</b></h2>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Tutorial assembled using Silhouette Software Release 2.7.18. This tutorial assumes you already know how to use the Silhouette and Silhouette software. It can be cut on both Cameo and Portrait Silhouette machines.</blockquote>
<h2>
<b>Supplies Needed:</b></h2>
<ul>
<li>Template from Silhouette On-Line Store.</li>
<li>Paper glue</li>
<li>Silhouette Cameo or Portrait</li>
<li>Card Stock</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<b>Steps for completing the Accordion Card:</b></h2>
<b>1. Download the cutting file</b> for your Silhouette Cutting machine from the Silhouette Online Store. This is how the file is set-up. It almost completely fills 1 8.5 x 11 sheet. If working on a Portrait Silhouette you will need to copy each half to its own file and rotate it to fit it within the 8" cutting width. It does not require resizing. More detailed instructions below.<br />

<b style="text-align: left;">2. Prepare and cut the file.</b><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">For Cameo users it is set to cut. </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>If you cut the entire file once in red card stock, and once in white, you will end up with pieces for two cards in alternating colors.</li>
<li>In my samples above I have cut the design both with and without the Hugs & Kisses text. One is visually simpler and quicker to cut. I like one better, my husband likes the other better. Your choice. You can leave or remove the text. To remove UNGROUP the design. Click on just the text and delete.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="text-align: left;">For Portrait users do the following:</span><br />
<ul>
<li>Note: If the file is grouped together, select it by clicking on it, go up to the OBJECT MENU in the Silhouette software, and down to the UNGROUP command. This will allow you to copy individual elements and paste in a new file (FILE MENU to NEW).</li>
<li>Copy and paste each card half (Plus all enclosed parts) into a new file and rotate it 90º.</li>
<li>Here are the cut parts for the XOX card in all red.</li>
</ul>

<li>Practice intertwining the two halves together BEFORE you apply adhesive. You want to understand how they nest together so you can accurately place them once glued.</li>

<b>4. Now glue the two layers together. </b><br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">I used Zig Memory Systems paper glue but others will do.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Apply glue to the back of the front piece - on only one end flap at a time, and glue that in place.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Placement is key. The outside corners do not line up.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">For the XOX design, line up the X edges BUT, the front X is slightly larger than the back X so you will see a small (less than 1/16" border) of the back color showing through. (This is to prevent the X from getting stuck when passing through.)</li>

Winter is here and time for a new addition to your Ledge Village. What better house than a winter ski lodge in the style of a Swiss Chalet?
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Project Description: </b></div>
The Ledge Village is series of 3D buildings and accessories that can be combined in a mix and match fashion to build tiny villages on small ledges around your home. The buildings are thin, with all detail on the front so they fit on small trim ledges. This tutorial is for another house style, the Ski Lodge in the style of a Swiss Chalet.<br />

<li>It is laid out on a 12 x 12" mat and needs to be split into separate files for cutting. Each file will fit on an 8 x 10" piece of card stock so it will work on both a Cameo and Portrait cutting machine. </li>
<li>The parts may be grouped together. Click on it once to select it, then go up to the OBJECT Menu in the Silhouette software and select UNGROUP. This will split it into the separate pieces which you can copy and paste into new Silhouette files (FILE Menu to NEW).</li>

<br />
<b>Project Description:</b><br />
Over the past 30 years I have designed and made by hand many different Christmas Cards. (Click <a href="http://www.ashbeedesign.com/2011/11/three-decades-of-handmade-christmas.html" target="_blank">here</a> to see all the many designs.) This accordion style Christmas Tree card is my design for 2013. You are getting to see it even before I send it to my friends and family! It is simply 2 cut files, folded and glued together, quick and easy yet fascinating because of the interplay between the two layers. The accordion fold allows it to stand on its own. The design is sized to fit in a standard A2 invitation envelop. I cut my card from 8.5 x 11 white index card stock and used a dark green envelop.<br />

<b>Accordion Christmas Tree and Star Card Tutorial:</b></h2>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Tutorial assembled using Silhouette Software Release 2.7.18. This tutorial assumes you already know how to use the Silhouette and Silhouette software. It can be cut on both Cameo and Portrait Silhouette machines.</blockquote>
<h2>
<b>Supplies Needed:</b></h2>
<ul>
<li>Template from Silhouette On-Line Store <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=52683" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<li>Spray adhesive</li>
<li>Silhouette Cameo or Portrait</li>
<li>Card Stock</li>
<li>4" x 8" scrap piece of cardboard (optional)</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<b>Steps for completing the Accordion Tree Card:</b></h2>
<b>1. Download the cutting file</b> for your Silhouette Cutting machine from the Silhouette Online Store <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=52683" target="_blank">here</a>. This is how the file is set-up. It almost completely fills 1 8.5 x 11 sheet. If working on a Portrait Silhouette you will need to copy each half to its own file and rotate it to fit it within the 8" cutting width.<br />

<ul>
<li>Note: If the file is grouped together, select it by clicking on it, go up to the OBJECT MENU in the Silhouette software, and down to the UNGROUP command. This will allow you to copy individual elements and paste in a new file (FILE MENU to NEW).</li>
<li>Copy and paste each card half into a new file and rotate it 90º.</li>

<b>3. Now glue the two layers together. </b></div>

<ul>
<li>I have a cardboard box set up as a spray glue station. You can use regular paper glue if making just 1 or 2 cards. I will be making 70 so I work for mass production!</li>
<li>Glue is to be applied to only the two outside panels of the the front piece. I cut a piece of heavy cardboard 4" x 8". </li>
<li>Place the cardboard over the center two panels of the backside of the front card section and apply spray adhesive. Work carefully to not get ANY glue on the center 2 portions.</li>

<br />
<b>Project Description:</b><br />
Over the past 30 years I have designed and made by hand many different Christmas Cards. (Click <a href="http://www.ashbeedesign.com/2011/11/three-decades-of-handmade-christmas.html" target="_blank">here</a> to see all the many designs.) This Chevron Tree was first designed by me in 2005 (which was before I was blogging and before I owned a Silhouette). I cut 70 of them by hand. I have redesigned this card so that it can be cut using the Silhouette and made the file available at the Silhouette store. It is far faster! The design which features a 3-D folded chevron is sized to fit in a classic business-sized envelop which can be purchased in colors during the holiday season.<br />

<b style="text-align: left;">2. Prepare and cut the file.</b><br />
<ul>
<li>Copy and paste the chevron pattern into a new file and cut from white card stock. If making multiple cards, you can fit this pattern 3 times on each 8.5 x 11" piece of card stock.</li>
<li>Note: If the file is grouped together, select it by clicking on it, go up to the OBJECT MENU in the Silhouette software, and down to the UNGROUP command. This will allow you to copy individual elements and paste in a new file (FILE MENU to NEW).</li>
<li>Copy and paste the smaller plain rectangle into a new file and cut from green card stock. If making multiple cards, you can fit this pattern 3 times on each 8.5 x 11" piece of card stock.</li>
<li>Copy and paste the large rectangle plus the star into a new file and cut from red card stock. Only 1 will fit on an 8.5 x11" sheet.</li>
<li>Here are the cut parts:</li>

I have designed a shadow box for the Christmas season. As I designed my earlier shadow boxes, I saw the potential for creating a Nativity scene in this format. This project combines 7 different layers into one multi-layered Nativity. I have assembled it in two different paper choices, a variety of black, white and grays, and an all white version. Both have different display options. The all white version glows beautifully when placed in front of a window or other light source. The shades of gray version has better contrast for front lighting sources. Although visually complex, the cutting and assembly skills for this project are relatively basic.<br />

<h2>
<b>Steps for completing the Nativity Shadow Box project:</b></h2>
<b>1. Download the cutting file</b> for your Silhouette Cutting machine from the Silhouette Online Store <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=51983" target="_blank">here</a>. This file is a long, skinny file with 7 different layers included. Each needs to be copied and pasted into a separate file for cutting.<br />

</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">This approach is different from my earlier shadow boxes in that you don't have to resize the files. This one makes more sense to me. Let me know which approach you find easier to work with.</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<b style="text-align: left;">2. Prepare and cut each file. There are 7.</b><br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>The file may be all grouped together. If so, to select just one frame portion, click on the entire file so it is selected. Go up to the OBJECT MENU and down to the UNGROUP command.</li>
<li>Copy all of the first frame and any parts within it.</li>
<li>Open a new Silhouette file and paste this into it. It should fit onto and 8.5 x 11" piece of card stock.</li>
<li>Cut this file.</li>
<li>Note on colors: I completed this project using all white card stock for one version and gradations of grays from white, through the grays to black. The tutorial is shown using the gradations because it makes the lessons much easier to understand. In reality, I like the all white version best. If you choose to do a color gradation, this is the order of my color choices:</li>
<ul>
<li>Layer 1: Front frame - black</li>
<li>Layer 2: Sheperd and manager - dark gray</li>
<li>Layer 3: Holy Family and Manger - medium gray</li>
<li>Layer 4: Wise Men - light gray</li>
<li>Layer 5: back frame - black</li>
<li>Layer 6: Star - Black</li>
<li>Layer 7: White backing for Star - White (Thin 20 Lb paper - not card stock)</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Repeat the copy and paste for everyone of the 7 different layers. Cut each one out. </li>
</ul>

<div>
<b>3. Assemble Layer 1 - the front frame.</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Layer 1 has 2 parts, a frame and and a hanger.</li>
<li>All the frames have dotted fold lines. You fold them all in the same direction for each frame. For Frame 1, they all get folded toward the back.</li>
<li>Apply a couple of glue dots to each corner tab and build the shadow box frame.</li>
<li>Work with care to keep things square.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>4. Assemble Layer 2 - the shephard layer.</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Layer 2 has 3 parts, a frame and the shepherd and sheep</li>
<li>All the frames have dotted fold lines. Fold all the fold lines to the back and glue together in the same way as you glued frame 1 together.</li>
<li>Apply a strip of double-Stick foam tape along the back side of the frame between the manger post and the side wall. This is to position the shepherd and the lamb. The foam tape will hold them back from the front frame about 1/8" to provide another depth level in the shadow box. The purple lines added to the image below show placement.</li>

This one isn't up yet but an entire alphabet shadow box series is! Stop by and see in this set of cutting files with endless craft possibilities. There is also a freebie <a href="http://www.3dcuts.com/free-download" target="_blank">here</a>.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Project Description:</b><br />
I have taken the letters in HoHoHo and turned them on their side! That is the design element behind my newest 3D tree design. This easy to make project creates a stunning centerpiece when arranged in groups. The cutting file includes the tree in 2 different sizes however you can stretch it to any size to create variety.<br />

<b>Project Description:</b><br />
Here is a cutting pattern and tutorial for a 3D Sleigh that stand about 4.5" tall. It has been designed to be combined with the 3D Reindeer and 3D Presents files as well although works beautifully alone. These 3 files are proportioned to work together. All are both Cameo and Portrait friendly. This tutorial is for the sleigh pattern. It comes with the cutting file for 1 present as well.<br />

<b>3. Assemble the sleigh runners.</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Note each cut file has dotted cut lines. These are fold lines. </li>
<li>Fold along all the lines of the runners. They are designed to double back on themselves to add strength to the sleigh. Fold all folds as shown in the image below</li>

<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>Flatten the runner shape out again and place post-it notes over the side tabs of the connecting base noted in the image below.</li>
<li>This is to protect this areas from spray glue. Cut the post-it note to completely cover the edge rectangle but leave the tabs exposed.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>I used spray glue to lay a layer of glue over the entire shape. You may chose other types of glue but I found this the quickest method. You will need to move rapidly once you spray the glue so be set to assemble the runners immediately.</li>
<li>Be careful to not get over spray onto the reverse side.</li>
<li>Quickly fold one runner up over itself.</li>

<li>Remove the post it notes and glue in both ends of the rectangular base. The tabs glue in under the sides to hold the runners square. I added a glue dot here because the spray glue was starting to dry.</li>

Here is a cutting pattern and tutorial for a 3D Reindeer that stand about 6" tall. He has been designed to be combined with the <a href="http://ashbeedesignsilhouette.blogspot.com/2013/11/Sleigh.html">3D Sleigh</a> and <a href="http://ashbeedesignsilhouette.blogspot.com/2013/11/presents.html">3D Presents</a> files as well. These 3 files are proportioned to work together. All are both Cameo and Portrait friendly. This tutorial is for the reindeer pattern. This reindeer can be Rudolph by adding the included red nose. This project does require nimble fingers.<br />

<div>
<ul>
<li>You need to decide on the card stock and colors you want to use. I have done it in all white as well as colored card stock. The tutorial is shown using brown card stock.</li>
<li>If creating Rudolph, copy and paste the nose piece into a separate file and cut that from red card stock.</li>
<li>Cut your pieces from the card stock you choose.</li>

<ul>
<li>Cover the glue dots with the glue dot backing plastic as you work. Glue dots stick so well they tend to stick to places you don't want. This step will help control that.</li>

<ul>
<li>Prep the reindeer side that includes the back and head. It is labeled side 1 on the cutting file.</li>
<li>Start by pulling the sections that will line up with the next and face over a sharp edge. This is to give them a curve and they curve in the same direction.</li>

<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Glue together the top of the head and the end of the nose before attaching this piece to the reindeer side. It is easier to manipulate the tiny corners on the edges before it is connected.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The top of the head is the small area between the two curved sections.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Place glue dots and fold and glue the tabs in to create a square end for the top of the head. Do this to both sides of the edge section.</li>

<li style="text-align: left;">Now start lining up this folded edge piece with the side you placed all the glue dots on.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Start at the top of the head. It is extremely important to note that the piece gets attached below the little tab that looks like ears (They aren't. They are functional tabs to help hold up the antlers later.) This first picture shows how the top of the head gets placed down at the bumps on the tab. Leave the tab sticking up above.</li>

Here is a cutting pattern and tutorial for a pile of tiny 3D presents ranging from 1" to 2.5". They have been designed to be combined with the 3D Reindeer and 3D Sleigh files as well. These 3 files are proportioned to work together. All are both Cameo and Portrait friendly. It comes with the cutting files for 4 present styles. All can be resized to make additional variations.<br />

<li>All the rectangular boxes have two parts, a bottom and a cover. </li>
<li>The hex box has 4 parts.</li>

The trees have lost nearly all their leaves. Seasons change in Ledge Village too! I have designed a cutting file for a winter tree scaled to fit Ledge Village so you can allow your village to change with the seasons.

<b>Project Description: </b></div>
The Ledge Village is series of 3D buildings and accessories that can be combined in a mix and match fashion to build tiny villages on small ledges around your home. The buildings are thin, with all detail on the front so they fit on small trim ledges. This tutorial is for a winter tree, especially for those using Ledge Village to create Christmas Villages.<br />

I did the tree in two different colors and two different styles. This tutorial explains how to use this same cutting file to make either a flat-backed tree for Ledge Village displayed on a skinny ledge, or a free-standing tree for a Ledge Village displayed on a wider surface.</div>

Winter Tree Tutorial</b></h2>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Tutorial assembled using Silhouette Software Release 2.7.18. This tutorial assumes you already know how to use the Silhouette and Silhouette software.</blockquote>
<h2>
<b>Supplies Needed:</b></h2>
<ul>
<li>Template from Silhouette On-Line Store <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=51428" target="_blank">here</a> .</li>
<li>Glue dots 3/16"</li>
<li>Silhouette Cameo or Portrait</li>
<li>Card Stock </li>
</ul>
<ul></ul>
<h2>
<b>Steps for completing the Winter Tree:</b></h2>
<b><br /></b><b>1. Download the cutting file</b> for your Silhouette Cutting machine from the Silhouette Online Store <a href="http://www.silhouetteonlinestore.com/?page=view-shape&id=51428" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Prepare the files:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>The downloaded Silhouette file for the Winter Tree looks like this. You need to decide what type of tree you need.</li>
<li>Cut 4 patterns if you want the free-standing tree.</li>
<li>Cut 3 patterns if you want the flat-backed ledge tree.</li>
</ul>

<b>3. Cut the files.</b><br />
<ul>
<li>The settings will depend on the paper you use. I have been using white index card stock and cutting at a speed of 3, a depth of 33 and the blade set to 3.</li>
<li>Your blade and cutting mat need to be in good shape to cut detailed patterns like this one.</li>
<li>Carefully remove the cut files from the backing mat.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<br />To make the flat-Backed Tree for display on a ledge:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Cut three of the tree patterns and fold two along the dotted fold line in the same direction. </li>
<li>Leave one flat.</li>
</ul>

<h2>
Tea Light Tree Tutorial</h2>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Tutorial assembled using Silhouette Software Release 2.7.18. This tutorial assumes you already know how to use the Silhouette and Silhouette software.</blockquote>
<h2>
<b>Supplies Needed:</b></h2>
<ul>
<li>Templates from Silhouette On-Line Store (Links above). Note there are tree files included with each building file. It is not a separate file.</li>
<li>Glue dots 3/16"</li>
<li>Silhouette Cameo or Portrait</li>
<li>Card Stock </li>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>
<h2>
<b>Steps for assembling the Tree:</b></h2>
<b>1. Download the cutting file.</b> The trees are part of each building file. You can copy them and paste them into other files to cut additional trees. They are also easy to resize.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>2. Cut the files</b><br />
<ul><ul>
</ul>
<li>The cut settings will depend on the paper you use. I have been using white index card stock and cutting at a speed of 3, a depth of 33 and the blade set to 3.</li>
<li>It is important to have a good quality blade and mat when cutting detailed files like the trees.</li>
<li>Carefully remove the cut files from the backing mat.</li>
<li>You must cut two trees to assemble them to make one finished 3D tree.</li>

<b>Project Description: </b></div>
The Ledge Village is series of 3D buildings and accessories that can be combined in a mix and match fashion to build tiny villages on small ledges around your home. The buildings are thin, with all detail on the front so they fit on small trim ledges. This tutorial is for another house style, the Fullerton House.<br />
<br />
I thought the village needed a greater variety in house styles. I decided to incorporate an American Classic into the mix by choosing a Sears & Roebuck House. This design is based on a kit house sold through the Sears and Roebuck Catalogue back in the 1920's. The Fullerton was model No. 3205X and it sold for $1633 to $2,294!<br />
<br />
<i>Additional Note:</i> For those of you that have been collecting the Ledge Village Series - There has been a pause in new designs, not because I have run out of ideas because I have been traveling. My husband and I just spent 7 weeks driving around the USA. That trip inspired many things, one of which was to use a Sears & Roebuck design in Ledge Village. I am blogging about the trip over <a href="http://www.ashbeedesign.com/2013/10/the-great-american-road-trip-2013.html" target="_blank">here</a> on my regular blog so come and visit for more info! And thanks to all of you for your continued support!<br />

I have been missing from the Silhouette world for two months because we went on a road trip! My husband and I have just returned from 8 weeks of seeing America, and it is a beautiful country. My Silhouette did not travel with us so all projects have been on hold. And my computer died 1 week into the trip so blogging became too challenging! I am home again, although still processing mail, bills, etc. Here is a project from last year before I was publishing my files. I saved it until now because it really is a fall/winter subject and not a summer one!<br />
<br />
Our trip was beyond wonderful but it is good to be home. For those of you waiting for more Ledge Village files stay tuned. I haven't forgotten you!<br />
<br />
<b>Project Description:</b><br />
One of the early projects I designed and created using my Silhouette was this moose and fir tree grouping. I created it as a thank you gift because we were staying in a friend's mountain home for a winter holiday. Here is the original, on the mantel of this lovely home.<br />

I redesigned the files after I had learned a little more about the silhouette and this time photographed the assembly process for the blog. I learned the trees needed to be simplified to reduce cutting problems.</div>

<b style="text-align: left;">2. Prepare and cut the file.</b><br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>You need to decide on the card stock and colors you want to use. I especially liked the simplicity of all white but did use brown for the moose for display purposes on the online store.</li>
<li>The pieces needs to be copied and pasted into a new separate file depending on your paper size and the cutting machine you are using. All will fit onto 8.5 x 11" card stock.</li>
<li>Trees can be combined to make the best use of your card stock. If gluing your trees together you will need to cut 4 of each size. If sewing the center seam on a sewing machine, you will only need 2 but remove the center fold line from the cut. More on this in the directions below.</li>
<li>Paper choices: The moose is a happier critter if cut from a heavier card stock. I used 110 lb. index stock.</li>
<li>The trees are a detailed cut and will require a sharp blade and good mat, but also a smoother paper. Complex cuts like these cause problems with papers that are too fibrous. You might want to experiment on some samples before cutting.</li>
<li>Cut your pieces from the card stock you choose.</li>

<ul>
<li>A glue dot placed in the nose between the halves will hold it in place.</li>
<li>The file does not include a slit for inserting the antler rack on the head although it does have one on the antler rack. This is to allow you more flexibility in assembly. You can change the character of the moose by altering the angle of the antlers just a little bit. If you want to make an arrangement with multiple moose, then change the sizes of the moose and the angle of the antlers just a little and they will look different.</li>
<li>Use scissors to cut a slot in the top of the head about 1/4" down and slide the antlers into place.</li>

<li>I like to sew them up the center seam using a sewing machine because then I only need to cut two trees. The trees take a long time to cut and I have created many of them for various scenes. I like to save time.</li>
<li>Remove the center fold line from the cut pattern by clicking on it, going up to the OBJECT menu in the Silhouette Software and ungrouping it. Then click on the center line and delete.</li>
<li><span style="text-align: center;">Cut two tree files of the same size and stitch up through the center to join them.</span></li>

<b>Project Description: </b><br />
I have designed a series of all-occassion greeting cards using a design concept inspired by contour lines on a map. Combining that linear element with using papers in gradated colors creates a stunning card design that is easy to cut and assemble. The series includes a variety of themes but all have a strong graphic element and the distinctive contour lines created by stacking cut paper. Most of the designs provided both a positive and negative shape both of which can be used resulting in two cards.<br />

The first series I am releasing (and the ones used to create this tutorial) is the Sun, Star, Arrow series shown below. This tutorial applies to all of the contour card designs. The process is the same. The shapes are different.</div>

<li><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">These cards are sized to fit in standard computerized invitation sized envelopes (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") so you can quickly create beautiful cards to send or to group and give as gifts. A collection of these would be a perfect hostess gift or a thank you gift to a teacher. Or how about getting some Christmas gifts done. These would be perfect for the neighbor, or the surprise person.</span></li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>3. Separate the files. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Copy each layer and paste it into its own new file.</li>
<li>Each layer must be cut from a different color of card stock.</li>
<li>You can duplicate each file and paste it 4 times on a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of card stock and make 4 matching cards at once. This is a great time saver if you are making collections to give as gifts.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>4. Cut the files.</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>The settings will depend on the paper you use. I have been using card stock and cutting at a speed of 3, a depth of 33 and the blade set to 4.</li>
<li>Cut each layer from a different color.</li>
<li>Carefully separate the parts and stack them up. It is easy to flip things over and then they won't match as precisely so work with an organized approach.</li>
<li>I also mark the back side and the top with just a pen dot, especially the circular designs like the radial sun. It helps from getting them mixed up if you accidentally drop them all on the floor.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<b>5. Create the card backing.</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>These designs are made to fit on a 1/2 sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 card stock.</li>
<li>Choose a background color and cut it in half the short way using a paper cutter.</li>
<li>Crease the fold seam using a bone folding tool. </li>
<li>Fold in half. Make two.</li>
<li>Below are all the parts from the arrow pattern. It will make two cards </li>

<b>Project Description: </b></div>
The Ledge Village is series of 3D buildings and accessories that can be combined in a mix and match fashion to build tiny villages on small ledges around your home. The buildings are thin, with all detail on the front so they fit on small trim ledges. This tutorial is for the Town Library. It is to be used with the other Ledge Village files. It is shown here with trees and fences from the Greek Revival House and a park bench from the Store file.<br />

<b style="text-align: left;">8. Combine the center with the wings.</b><br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">The center slides into the space between the two wings. Test it first and then add glue dots and glue it into place. It should be a close fit.</li>

<b style="text-align: left;">9. Add the decorative trim.</b><br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">The trim gets glued on along the front of the wing just below the roof line. It is then bent up, across the front of the portico, back to the other wing and across that as well. You can continue along the side walls if you want. I used regular glue (not dots) for this part.</li>

<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">There are two roof pieces. Start with the larger one. It covers the two wings. Glue it in place over the two wings. It should have over hangs on both ends and the front.</li>
<li>There are two flaps which fold forward and get glued onto the top of the center portion.</li>
