Leafy Heart Frame/ What greater thing

Hi Y'all!
Robyn here with a quick card featuring a beautiful digital file frame and 
a new Stamp from Quietfire Design!
The stamps are the highest quality red rubber mounted on cling foam.

The quote fit perfectly inside the frame without any resizing!

Celebrate! It's Time to Wave Your Flag!

Just wanted to share these fun designs with you!  The top 4 large ones are brand new in the Silhouette Online store today. 
 
 

 
I'm thinking I need to make a herd of those lanterns! 
A quick way to find all the older files is to use the search bar just above the Quietfire logo on my profile page.  Search for "Canada" or "4th of July" to filter to get to the good stuff!
Happy cutting!
 
Thanks for looking!
Suzanne
P.S. The video tutorial for assembling the lanterns is on YouTube here!

Remember Dad Forever - 15 Minute Wonder


Hi y'all, Robyn here, shepherdess of the Quietfire Design Team and die hard (pun intended) digital designer and cutter.

I put off buying a digital cutter for a long time, for lots of good reasons.
 When the combination of Suzanne designing for Silhouette
 and a really good sale finally had me pushing the
 Buy It Now
 button,
 and I made my first cuts- trial by fire- Wedding decorations! I could only say, 
"Why have I waited so long?!"
Now Miss Cameo and I are BFFs and I hope this new Quietfire blog devoted to digital cutting will enable you to join the fold!

Excluding design time, if you are familiar with your cutter, this card can be made in 15 minutes start to admire!

On the Mat
These are three separate files available in the Silhouette Store.
If you need sgv files some are available at Quietfire Design 
and contact Suzanne for others not posted.
It can be difficult in the silhouette store to tell what size the designs are, so always ask if you have questions. 
Remember, unlike dies, you can resize and manipulate them to almost anything you want.
For this simple card, I made no changes at all to the elements.
Ungroup and go!

This is what my working mat looks like.
Only the three elements I have on the white area will cut.
The flowers are available files too!

 *****TIPS*****
  • Use quality paper- at least 60 lb for Quietfire Design hand lettered designs with very fine thins!




















  • If you live in a humid climate, iron your paper before cutting. Damp paper =poor cuts.
  • Use sharp new blades when cutting fine designs.
  • Use a mat just sticky enough to hold your paper down well.
  • Slow the  cutting speed down.
  • Cut with less blade depth and double cut.
  • TAKE YOUR TIME removing the die from the mat. Press down well on all the drop outs to help them stay behind.
If you are a newbie - take heart! we are all here to help you enjoy our files and your cutter!
