2015 Note: I have continued to expand Tea Light Village and made the files available at my sister site. Visit 3dcuts.com for mote information about additional Tea Light Village Files. I have 9 buildings available now! Project Description: Tea Light Village is a tiny series of buildings designed specifically to fit over tiny LED Tea Lights so readily available these days. The lights provide a warm glow which brings life to the village display. Warning: Only use LED Tea Lights. DO NOT use regular candle tea lights. I gave my sister-in-law a Tea Light Village fore Christmas this year. She sent me this photo of it on the mantel in their beautiful log home in the Colorado Rockies. This specific tutorial is for the simple buildings including the cottage, town house and village store. Files can be purchased as a group at 3dcuts.com here for savings. Files in the Tea Light Village series include with links to the cutting file at Silhouette: 3D Tea Light Village Cottage and Barn Cutting File 3D Tea Light Village Town House and Village Store Cutting File 3D Tea Light Village Church Cutting File There are 4 tutorials for the series: Village Buildings Barn Church Pine Tree Tea Light Simple Building Tutorial Tutorial assembled using Silhouette Software Release 2.7.18. This tutorial assumes you already know how to use the Silhouette and Silhouette software. Supplies Needed: Templates from Silhouette On-Line Store (links above) Glue dots 3/16" Silhouette Cameo or Portrait Card Stock Wax paper Glue Scissors Steps for completing the Buildings: 1. Download the cutting file for your Silhouette Cutting machine from the Silhouette Online Store (Link for all three files n the series located above.) 2. Prepare the files: The downloaded Silhouette file for the combined town house and village shops looks like this. Each building will fit on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of card stock or can be cut from a 12 X 12" sheet depending on your Silhouette size and paper supplies. To use a Portrait or smaller paper, copy and paste the appropriate pieces into a new file. Note: If all the parts are grouped together, you will need to ungroup them to move them. Select the image, go up to the OBJECT menu and down to UNGROUP. Then copy and paste the parts needed into a new document. Here is the town house on an 8.5 x 11 page. And here is a layout for the village shops: You may need to rotate and rearrange parts to fit everything on one page. 3. Cut the files The cut settings will depend on the paper you use. I have been using white index card stock and cutting at a speed of 3, a depth of 33 and the blade set to 3. Carefully remove the cut files from the backing mat. 4. Add wax paper scraps to the inside of all the windows. This will allow the candle light to have a more natural glow. I cut rectangles of wax paper to fit the windows on each side. Use regular paper glue to hold these in place. 5. Assemble the building. First fold all dotted lines in ( toward the wax paper side). Using glue dots, connect the side walls together. Work to keep things square. Bottom edges should line up. Place glue dots along the tabs for the roof. Apply then to the portion closest to the fold first and press the roof in place. And then continue to the other side of the roof including gluing the tab that slides down by the side wall. Add glue dots to the first roof and then glue on the roof cover which adds the overhangs. Work to center the roof. Now, make additional buildings and trees to make a complete village scene. This same set of instructions applies to other Tea Village buildings as well including the town house and village shops.

In this tutorial you will not only learn how to make adorable school supplies but also the trick to weeding small designs from your Silhouette or Cricut.
Don't want an outline, but want to give your design or font a solid fill when using sketch pens or Foil Quill with your Silhouette machine? It's easier than ever to do in Silhouette Studio. This beginner Silhouette tutorial will walk you through the few steps to go from the standard cut file to a solid filled sketched or foiled design. Make sure you are using Silhouette Studio version V4.2.471 or higher. This technique is for all of the Silhouette machines. Open the design and/or add your texted in a Silhouette Studio Design area. Click the Line Effects tool (previously called the Sketch fill) from the right sidebar to open the up the tool panel. With the design selected, start by selecting the Solid Line Edge Effects. You can select any of the Fill Effects, but I prefer the hashed fill for pens and the line fill right above it when using felt tip markers. Next you'll want to move the Spacing bar to the left to reduce the space between each of the fill lines. The exact distance of the line spacing will depend on the size of the design itself. Keep in mind designs with a line fill like this will take longer to process because each line is considered a cut line which is a lot of data for the machine and software to process. Now you can move forward with sketching or foiling your design. That's all you need to do to solid fill a font or design in Silhouette Studio. Note: This post may contain affiliate links.

Last year, 'long about Halloween time, I decorated our Parlor mantel. With bats. Lots of bats. Even sleeping bats. I found the bat silhouettes at Michaels, all cut out and ready to hang; how easy was that decorating? This season, if you want to go silhouette-happy at a bargain basement price, check out Dollar Tree's Halloween offerings. Yes, I went silhouette-happy. Big time. They are smaller silhouettes than the ones I got at Michael's, but they are also way cheaper. So I plan on sticking them -- literally -- everywhere. In a couple of weeks, you won't be able to look in a mirror or out a window at That Old House without this looking back at you: Don't you think these cunning lil' rodents are just the thing to scamper up and down the conservatory window frames? Anyway -- just a heads-up because you know how fast the best stuff at Dollar Tree sells out. Is it odd to use best stuff and Dollar Tree in the same sentence? That cute little pumpkin with the "Give Thanks" is also a Dollar Tree buckaroo buy. It is really cute and can stay out till Thanksgiving. We like multi-tasking. **************************************************** Can you believe the North East is getting battered by rain today? Other parts of the USA need rain but it's the last thing we need right now. We are not out from under the last storm; there are people in New Jersey still without power, and many without homes at this point; their flood-damaged places have been condemned or need rebuilding. Every county in the state has been declared a disaster area (and no cracks about New Jersey and disaster areas!). And . . . all this rain is bringing down the leaves. Too soon! Go away, rain and wind. Come back in 4 weeks, please. Leaves on the sunroom roof. Blargh! Now I'm putting away my cheapo silhouettes in a safe place . . . meaning I will look for them in October and not find them until Groundhog Day. I hope I still have the ones I used last year!
