Class Name: Designing in Silhouette Studio

Description: In this Premium class, I will teach you how to use Silhouette Studio to design your own cut files from scratch. You’ll learn about setting up your Preferences with designing in mind, along with practicing with Drawing Tools, Offsets, Edit Points, Modify Tools, and more. This class will be packed with designing tips while you learn to make a card or box with a cute pumpkin design you’ll create yourself! These skills will have you creating your own cut files and ready to make more! This is an intermediate class, so you should already be somewhat familiar with the basics of Silhouette Studio. The project supplies listed are only a suggestion if you want to turn your design into a physical project, but this is mainly a software class.

Additional information to answer questions:

Here is where you can change the grid lines. Current versions of Silhouette Studio let you change both the primary and secondary grid line colors. Even very old versions of Silhouette Studio let you change the grid color (to one color for all, but secondary colors were lighter by default).

Go to the bottom of the Page Setup Panel: Grid Tab (second tab). The grid color options are at the bottom in v4.5. Make sure you’ve checked the box to Show Grid.

I like my primary colors set to HEX #BBBBBB and my secondary colors set to HEX #C2C2C2, as I mentioned in class. (A dark grey and a light grey.)
