    You've probably used your Silhouette to cut titles, shapes from the "My Library" feature, as well as purchased shapes online. Maybe you've even "welded" already!

    This course will help you take your skills to the next level using your Quickutz Silhouette Diecutting Machine. This course will teach you tips and tricks for creating multi-layer diecuts, special welding and grouping techniques, as well as dabble in creating custom shapes.

    Each lesson we'll create a scrapbook layout using the skills featured that week.
