Design Tutorial: Silhouette Studio Dinosaur + Free Cut File

Filed Under: Free Cut Files, Silhouette Studio Tutorials

I really like when I see small business owners create their own cut files for use in their businesses. I feel that it gives you an edge over other small business owners because the design is unique. I’ve shared several design tutorials recently, and here’s another. Rather than me give you the cut file, let’s design it together using the tutorial below.

Note: The screenshots in this tutorial use Silhouette Studio version 4. You can download it from Silhouette America, or use whatever version you prefer.

Dinosaur Cut File Design Tutorial

  1. Find a commercial use dinosaur image. (PNG or JPG file formats will both work great!) For this tutorial, I picked up this image at Vexels.
  2. Open your image in Silhouette Studio and trace the outer edge. Design Tutorial: Silhouette Studio Dinosaur + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  3. Delete the original image. Design Tutorial: Silhouette Studio Dinosaur + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  4. Using the text tool, type a short phrase in your favorite font. Design Tutorial: Silhouette Studio Dinosaur + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  5. Select the text and ungroup it. This will separate your letters from each other. Design Tutorial: Silhouette Studio Dinosaur + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  6. Drag each letter onto your image. Design Tutorial: Silhouette Studio Dinosaur + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  7. Select your image and all the letters. Subtract your letters from the image.Design Tutorial: Silhouette Studio Dinosaur + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com
  8. You’ll need to select the inner parts of your letters and group them to the image so you don’t lose them along the way. Design Tutorial: Silhouette Studio Dinosaur + Free Cut File - by cuttingforbusiness.com

That’s it! Your custom designed cut file is ready to cut! Save this post to Pinterest, then download the file below:
