Digital | Print & Cut Tutorial
Tags:I love labels. There. I've said it. Every month the Studio Calico digital shop releases printable labels that coordinate with the current monthly kit. I use these labels on most of my pages and in every single Project Life® spread that I make. Up until now I've been hand cutting these labels out. I have no problems with doing that. The labels have simple lines and the labels that have the rounded, concave edges can be punched with a standard hole punch.
But I'm all about multitasking. And I have this fabulous machine sitting here that I don't use enough. So what about cutting them out with the Silhouette? Once I figured out a few troubleshooting issues I was good to go. Click here to download my tutorial and learn how to do the print and cut technique with your Silhouette!
Supply list: kits - Sugar Rush (paper, stamps, enamel dots), Gumdrop (leaf), Jelly Beans (camera); printable labels; watercolors; ink - Hero Arts; medium tag; date stamp; cut file - Sugar Rush Love You Cut; Cameo
For this week's challenge, we'd love to have you take the inspiration from this tutorial or my layout and use it on your own project! Share your new project for the challenge in the SC gallery (add the hashtag #SCtutorial to make it easier to find!), then link up your project in the comments of this post by February 10th to be entered to win a $5 gift card to the Studio Calico Shop!

You are the reason why I am addicted to labels now, Marcy! :) I fussy cut them by hand too and dream about one day have a Silhouette to do it for me. Thanks for sharing your tutorial though. I'm bookmarking it for later. :)

I always cut them apart with the knife but your tip about sizing them down a little makes so much more sense! Thanks for that, it will save me so much time!

I only started using labels in my Project life once I started getting the SC digital ones. I have a Mac and I just drag the unopened png file over the Silhouette cutting mat and it opens automatically. Mine probably end up a different size as I print to A4, but the software makes it so easy.

Thank you so much. Last month I traced each one - one label at a time!!!! This way is so much better. ;)

If I owned a Silhouette, I'd try this out. Unfortunately, I still have to cut mine out the old fashioned way.

Thanks Marcy!! I'm still learning my cameo so this is really helpful and I appreciate this format. Much easier than a video for me.

Brilliant Marcy, thank you. I now have perfectly cut labels. Must be time for a layout.
I have left some feedback on the message board.

I love that you did this tutorial! Just last weekend I spent hours printing and cutting all my sc printables - and now I've got a great stash at the ready (stored nicely into PL kit box) here's a card I made with labels, printables, sugar rush pl kit and the cat lovers stamp set
