Sparkly Snowflake Shoe

Hello, everyone!

It's Nancy here today with a new digital project share!

Today I am featuring the fun Snowflake Shoe Digital file.

You can find it HERE.

I shared the Fall shoe on my blog several months ago.

You'll find that post HERE.

Today I'm sharing the Winter version:

These shoes are so much fun to put together!

I used some coordinating papers that had a glitter treatment.

To finish it off, I added some glitter to the snowflake embellishments.

I think I need to make a pair of these...in my size! ;o)

Flourished Heart Valentine's Day Card

Hello, Connie Nichol here today with two quick Valentine cards featuring the Flourished Heart File available in the Silhouette Design Store here.

I cut the first one out of red cardstock and just embellished with a few pearls. The heart cut file is so pretty that you really don't need much of anything to dress it up. Just add a stamped sentiment and you're good to go.

I also made a card using metallic gold cardstock for something different. Backing the cut out heart with black gives a more elegant look. Sorry for the slightly wonky photograph - mirrored cardstock is always so hard to photograph because it reflects me and my Iphone.

Aren't the flourishes pretty? Here's the Quietfire Design stamp set I used. It's a set of 8 versatile love stamps perfect for Valentine or Wedding/Anniversary cards.

Thanks for stopping by and have an awesome Valentine's Day. It's sneaking up fast and less than a month away!

Making the Left-Center-Right 3-Letter Monogram Fonts

I'm delighted to share this with you! I've been thinking about it for months and worried it was far too complicated. But when I sat down and applied the KISS theory to it, things fell into place!

You may find something different online and you can adjust your monogram to whatever format suits you. A classic monogram font is created using your

first name initial on the left,
middle name initial on the right and the
last name initial larger in the middle.

This is what mine looks like by combining the

Left Flourish Monogram Font (S), the Center Flourish Monogram Font (C) and
the Right Flourish Monogram Font (E).

You will need all three fonts to accomplish this type of monogram.

If you're creating a monogram for a married couple, their last initial goes in the middle (larger), the bride's first initial to the left and the groom's to the right. For instance (oh, this is tough! Most of my friends kept their maiden names!) .... When George married Martha, this would have been their monogram (made in the colours of her geraniums!):

To create our 3-Letter Monogram in Silhouette Studio:
You will need the three fonts:

Type out the first letter, highlight it and use the drop-down menu to choose the QFD Left Flourish Monogram Font.
Separately type out the middle initial, highlight it and choose the QFD Middle Flourish Monogram Font.
And lastly type out the right initial, highlight it and choose the QFD Right Flourish Monogram Font.
Once you click off these they become objects, so you can align them.
Click the middle initial and enlarge it to the size you want.
Now move the other two initials closer so the flourishes overlap until you like the look of the monogram.
Group all the letters together and enlarge to the size you need. Of course, add some colour! All the letters can be the same colour, or they can all be different!
You can print them, just like this in a frame of your choice, or weld them together and cut out the detailed 3-Letter Monogram!
Warning - it's like eating chips. It's really hard to stop at one!

Beautiful! Have fun!
