Tracing with Print-and-Cut Made Easy – A Silhouette Tutorial

 

Did you ever struggle with the Trace tool in your Silhouette software? I did and sometimes I just failed, especially with white edges. I played with filters as hard as I could but still didn’t get it to work.

The last time I was using my Cameo, I saw that the sticker sheets in Let’s Plan: December by Mommyish and Mari Koegelenberg had an additional black mask. I wondered if that would make anything better. So I used them. And suddenly tracing was easy breezy! And the cuts came out perfectly. Most perfect cuts ever, to be honest. I was hooked and created several sheets for Print-and-Cut and they were all traced fast and cut with precision, even on the edges.

I thought the easiest way to show you how to create a black mask and to use it for tracing was a video tutorial and here I go!

 

 

I hope you learned something new for your Silhouette fun and it made your day like my day was made while Printing and Cutting those tags!

If you have any further questions, go ahead and post them in the comments, I will do what I can to answer them.

Have a great time and take care!
