Step 1
To create the arch shape, use a basic circle and a basic square and overlap them.

Step 2
Select both shapes, right click your mouse button and select “Weld” to create a single shape.
idea%5Fsilhouette%2Dacrylic%2Dwedding%2Dsign%5F%2D08.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 3
To create the inside arch, right click your mouse button and select “Offset”.
idea%5Fsilhouette%2Dacrylic%2Dwedding%2Dsign%5F%2D07.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 4
Select “Internal Offset”, choose your distance and if you want a curved corner or sharp corner then click “Apply”.

Step 5
We added a 'cards & gifts' message, to add this text we used the font called 'PN Pumpy Rumps' which is a paid for font by Silhouette.
idea%5Fsilhouette%2Dacrylic%2Dwedding%2Dsign%5F%2D05.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 6
We then added the “Thank you so much” text, created using the font called 'BFC Sunday Kitchen' which is a paid for font by Silhouette.
idea%5Fsilhouette%2Dacrylic%2Dwedding%2Dsign%5F%2D04.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 7

To curve text, draw a circle and double click on the text box to see a green surround with a double pointed arrow in the corner.

 

Using the double pointed arrow, move the text around the circle and the text will snap in to a curved position to match the circle.

idea%5Fsilhouette%2Dacrylic%2Dwedding%2Dsign%5F%2D02.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 9

Apply your vinyl to the mat and send your design to the machine.

 

Select “Vinyl, Glossy” as your cut setting.

idea%5Fsilhouette%2Dacrylic%2Dwedding%2Dsign%5F%2D01.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 10

Load your mat into your machine and cut the design.

 

Once cut, weed your design.

idea%5Fsilhouette%2Dacrylic%2Dwedding%2Dsign%5F%2D13.jpg?sw=680&q=85
Step 11
Apply the transfer tape over the top of your design.
idea%5Fsilhouette%2Dacrylic%2Dwedding%2Dsign%5F%2D11.jpg?sw=680&q=85
