hi everyone this is Lisa from the
Rhinestone world and in this video I'm
going to show you how to design cut and
layer a two color FEC decal using your
new silhouette cameo three
I have my design here my design space
you can see that I could layer the decal
vinyl right now if I wanted to but I'm
going to make a couple changes with my
design
to make it stand out very well and to
make it easy to layer without the bulk
so you can see I have my home here and
it's sitting right on top of my state of
Florida the first thing I'm going to do
is I'm going to make a slight offset and
the reason why I do an offset between
colors is because it adds a little bit
of a contrast between them and a nice
definition it's going to be a very small
offset I'll go over here a distance and
I'll do about point a zero three
probably just very minor and I'll
actually increase it to point zero four
so you can see that right there let's
hit apply now after you make an offset
it will still be selected once you hit
apply so I'm going to take advantage of
that hold down shift and get that state
of Florida behind it now I have both of
these selected and I want to modify now
what I want to do is I want to take out
the offset from the state of Florida
what that will do is they'll also take
out what's underneath the actual home
because the offset is around it let's go
to modify and do subtract so now my
offset will be totally disappeared and
you can see let's group my state back
together you can see it's taken out from
behind there so now I have it has nice
definition and all my vinyl is going to
go right onto my surface so now what I
need to do is I need to make my
registration marks this will make it
very easy to layer my design
I'm going to go up here and draw a
square and hold down shift to make sure
it's a perfect square and then I'm going
to hit alt to make a copy bring that
over and now I'm just going to align
them go to the align panel and I'm going
to align the middle now when you do your
registration marks we're going to cut by
colors we want to have our registration
marks be a totally different color so
I'm going to go ahead and group them
together and then I'm going to color
them in black so you can see them right
here let's select all of these and have
this ready so the next part is to cut my
color I'm going to draw a box around
here to make it easier to
weed when I'm done and the first thing
I'm going to do is cut the pink I have
my pink already loaded on my cutting mat
so I'm going to check to make sure my
design space has a cutting mat it does
and so now we can go to our cut settings
let's go to advanced and now we're going
to select all the areas we want to cut
so what I want is the pink the black and
the note color so let's go over here
let's uncheck blue and now double check
you need to make sure that your cut
settings are set up for these colors you
can see the last thing I cut was
easyweed so I need to select each color
and change it over to my FDC preset so
we have that changed over that one that
one that one so make sure each color is
changed not just one because it will cut
the color you changed correctly but it
might cut through your carrier on other
ones so make sure you double check that
now we have all those selected I'm going
to check over here you can see that
right now it's so saying silhouette
Ratchet blade because I'm cutting on the
Cameo 3 I'm going to change it over to
my automatic blade and then I'm going to
load up my material and then send to the
cutter I have my decal vinyl loaded and
the thing about decal vinyl instead of
HTV is that you're going to put the shut
the actual color up and you don't need
to mirror in your software so just like
the previous version I'm going to line
it up here and I need to make sure my
roller is over so I'm going to unlock it
bring it back now lock it again go over
here let's lo and it bunched up a little
bit so what I'm going to do is I'm going
to lift up this roller and just smooth
it back up right so I'm going to send
cut to my cutter and we're going to go
well the blade is adjusting itself right
now now it's just going to pause for a
second it says working now I can unload
it here's my first cut now I'm going to
set up my next piece of vinyl and set it
up for the next cut I've just cut my
first color I cut the pink so now what I
need to do is I need to cut out the blue
all I have to do is uncheck this pink
and then check this blue here because my
registration marks my weed box are going
to be cut on both cuts so double check
to make sure all of these say your
material we're going to go over here
make sure it's on automatic blade we're
all set so we can load our material and
then cut that here is my second color
this is silver glitter FDC I have it on
my mat I made sure I aligned it in the
corner so I'm going to repeat the
process that I just did with the pink
load it and cut it
my second color is done just wait for it
to finish processing now I can unload it
now I'm ready to weave and layer my D
cap we have both colors cut now
now I'm going to weed them and set them
up for transfer I'm going to find the
edge of this box I can easily take that
and just take up the vinyl size keep
these boxes you want them just going to
take out these middle parts
here's my first color now let's read the
second color you can see it's pulling up
where the text comes out in here and if
it rips a little bit that's totally fine
because you're peeling it up anyway now
let's double check there's nothing that
needs to be taken out from in here we're
going to cut around here so I have just
the decal part now I'll actually just
peel this up I grabbed the paper now
we'll do it over here get rid of this
now what I want to do is I want this to
go on top of here and the way we layer
vinyl is that we hinge it down I need to
take this and put the tape on it first
and then place it on here and I'll show
you what I mean here's my application
tape I'm going to take this and actually
bring it this is the non sticky side and
bring it over see how much I need to cut
all right so it's about here go ahead
and cut all right we're going to place
it on here I like to do a horseshoe so
I'm starting from the middle dropping
smoothing it up going to use my scraper
to make sure you really get it on there
and then I'm going to just trim this
bottom part too so I am going to use
these boxes to align it so what I need
to do is I need to keep my vinyl on the
transfer tape but I'm going to take the
backing off behind it so the only thing
exposed on this will be these squares it
won't actually be my design let's go
over here just cut that now you can see
that it's exposed there you see I missed
a little bit but that'll be okay now I
just need to layer my boxes so I'm going
to find it find where the boxes are
alright so I have my boxes lined up now
we are going to slowly peel this back
over my design
so now you can see it's lined up
perfectly it's because we use our boxes
so I've lined up my two color design now
all I need to do is just trim off the
excess so let's take that get that out
of there then if you want to look really
neat then we will just try and do sides
here there we have it we have a two
color decal designed and cut with our
silhouette cameo three using our FDC a
decal line our side vinyl so if you have
