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.

Step 3

To create the inside arch, right click your mouse button and select “Offset”.

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.

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.

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.

Step 8

Line your design up so it's all together, right click your mouse and then select “Group”.

Select “Vinyl, Glossy” as your cut setting.

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

Step 12

Apply your design to the sign and remove the transfer tape.

idea%5Fsilhouette%2Dacrylic%2Dwedding%2Dsign%5F%2D12.jpg?sw=680&q=85

Step 13
