Hi Everyone

Welcome to my Valentine’s Bookmark tutorial.  I have provided step-by step instructions below on how to create the project plus a free download svg cut file for those of you who like to use digital die-cut machines. There are also a couple of hints for Cameo users who may be new to using files not purchased in the Silhouette Store, and if you wish to hand-cut the bookmark there is also a pdf download.

Note: Please see below as to why you will need the Designer Edition of Studio to use this file and why I cannot provide it in a .studio format.

Valentines Bookmark Tutorial

1. Cut 3 “flower” shapes plus two full hearts for front and back cover
2. Score all hearts as shown. The solid line represents a score on the reverse side you will not see, and the dotted line represents a score on the front side.
   Define all fold lines well and your heart will begin to take shape.
   Here is a detailed shot of the score lines needed:
   
3. Push the heart together, ensuring that the front side score lines touch each other in the middle.
   This is hard to explain – you just need to grab some scrap paper and give it a go!
4. To form the book – glue the solid heart faces of the pages together back to back.
5. Repeat for all your pages. The 2 complete hearts are then glued to the front and back face for additional strength.

Tips and Tricks
When you go to the link – here is where you can download the file.

The images are sized all ready to go at bookmark size but you can enlarge them to create a mini-album. Depending on your version of the software – you may need to go to the Cut Style Box and define the cut lines

I would love to hear about how this works out (or doesn’t work out!) for you – please email me here and I will try and incorporate all feedback into creating a better tutorial. I have tried and tested all the files – and they definitely work  – but please understand I am not able to offer you individual support on how to use your Cameo machine!

Note: Due to Silhouette’s very restrictive licensing policy, I am not allowed to offer this as a .studio format download – I am sorry. It is my understanding you will need the Designer Edition of Studio to use .svg files, however – please email me if you have any questions 🙂
