Silhouette 102

November 30, 2011

Online Class - 5 Weeks

With Jennifer Priest

You've probably used your Silhouette to cut titles, shapes from the "My Library" feature, as well as purchased shapes online. Maybe you've even "welded" already!

This course will help you take your skills to the next level using your Silhouette Diecutting Machine. This course will teach you tips and tricks for creating multi-layer diecuts, special welding and grouping techniques, as well as dabble in creating custom shapes. We'll cover the new Silhouette Studio software in addition to the Craft Robo software that most Silhouette machines previous to Fall 2010 were bundled with.

Each lesson we'll create a scrapbook layout using the skills featured that week.
