In case you missed the Silhouette “Secrets” June 2023 Newsletter, I am pushing this information out on the blog too!
Make sure to get signed up for notifications on the Silhouette Secrets+ Teachable site so you don’t miss out on any of the monthly newsletters going out. My goal is to publish those on the 5th of each month. In the newsletter, I share a featured class each month with a new coupon code, any new information I might have such as new classes released, and also 3 Silhouette “secrets” each month that have either been popular topics or learning tutorials I have from the last 6 years of writing Silhouette tutorials.
Silhouette “Secrets” – June 2023 Newsletter Edition
June means summer break where I live and we’ve been trying to find out our new schedule for the next few months!
Whether it’s hot, cold, rainy, or maybe even snowy – I hope you find a few minutes to continue playing with your Silhouette machines!
Let’s get to it!

NEW Silhouette Class Released
This month I released a new step-by-step class called
Designing with Rhinestones and Silhouette – Creating 4 Projects
This class is packed with information!
We cover test cuts, perfect cut settings, text, editing text, offsets, pre-made rhinestone designs, the rhinestone panel (Designer Edition required), glitter HTV, pressing tips, holographic HTV, and more!
You do the creating!
You make the choices!
You will learn new skills and how to customize in your own way!
Maybe the most important part of the class though is that I left any user issues in the class recording. I did not do movie magic to remove it and make it look perfect.
I left the reality of a project in the video.
I show you the errors and I show on camera how I work through those and get success!
I want you to see that it is perfectly normal to encounter issues when creating and how you can work through those.

Now for the “secrets” this month!!!
I try to share things each month that seem to be the hot topics of the past month and have been an issue for users.
Silhouette “Secrets”
– Because some things are just too good not to share! –
Silhouette “Secret” #1
This last month I launched updates to the Silhouette Secrets+ website.
I called in some outside help to get some of the backend stuff taken care of (thanks Jean with Just Ask Jean)! I can teach Silhouette with my eyes closed or from memory but the back end of a website maintenance has me spinning in circles.
Check out the new updates HERE
Silhouette “Secret” #2
I released a new tutorial on the Silhouette Secrets website and it has been very popular! It is a technique that has been around for many years in the cardmaking world and you can easily recreate the process in your Silhouette software.
I am sharing how to create 4 cards using this eclipse technique.
I also share how you can create and save a template so you do not have to start from scratch each time you want to create the card.
Check it out HERE
Silhouette “Secret” #3
Print and cut is an awesome feature of using a Silhouette machine and I love it!
I have several tutorials on how to properly set up a print and cut project.
Find those HERE.
This past month I released a new video on the Silhouette Secrets+ YouTube channel that covers 5 Tips for Print and Cut Success with Silhouette – Consistent Results!
You might be surprised what I share from what we see every day with troubleshooting issues. In most cases, it is something that just needs to be tweaked in the setup of the print and cut. 98%+ of the time that is the reason for an offcut or error.
Check out that new video HERE.
