Shaped Edge Text Card Video Tutorial

This week I released a new video tutorial on the Silhouette Secrets+ YouTube channel on how to create a shaped edge text card. This was inspired by my Silhouette Secrets+ with EllyMae group admin, Teresa. She is an amazing crafter and I love seeing all the projects she creates.
Such an inspiration to myself and other group members!

As I started in the Silhouette software, the project took on a life of it’s own. Let’s take a look at each card I created and I’ll share how they are different. I am also sharing a supply list for this project below the project photos.

All of these cards are created at a 5″ x 7″ size.
I used the Project Wizard in this tutorial for creating the card base quickly, however, you can create this in any size that suits your needs.

I created this card by filling in the text with color as I showed in the video tutorial. Then used print and cut with a sheet of 12″ x 12″ cardstock to print and cut the 5″ x 7″ card.
So quick to do! And with print and cut, you don’t have the individual letters to glue down, but you definitely can cut from any colors of cardstock that you would like and piece it together too! So many options.

For more information on Print and Cut check out this section on the blog HERE.

For this card, I took a sheet of 8.5″ x 11″ dark purple cardstock and cut the base out. Then I cut light purple adhesive vinyl and added that to the front of the card.
I also drew a rectangle that fit inside one side of the card base and then cut that from white and added that to the inside of the card for an area to write on.

In this card I used the same technique as the second card, I cut the card base from an 8.5″ x 11″ sheet of cardstock and then used a teal adhesive vinyl, but I used a stacked font called BFC Mean Ones Stacked Font to give it a little bit different look.

And I just noticed a weeding error on my part in the card. It happens to us all!

Now this one I think is my favorite!

I used print and cut again for this card and added a pattern fill called Tropical Beach Pattern to the entire card base. Then I picked up a blue color from the water in the pattern and made it a bit darker to add to the Happy text on the card.
