In this blog post, we’ll explore how this handy tool can save you time and simplify your creative process.
How Does It Work?
When you open your Silhouette Studio, you’ll notice the “File” menu. Within this menu, there’s a new gem waiting for you – the “New Project Wizard.” Click on it, and a world of possibilities opens up.
The New Project Wizard offers an array of pre-set project templates, each tailored to specific crafting needs. Whether you are designing a gift tag, card, embossing project, or something more advanced, this tool has got you covered.
Kickstarting Your Project:
Let’s say you want to create a lovely gift tag. With the New Project Wizard, it’s a breeze. Just click on the “Gift Tag” option and hit “Start.” In an instant, your canvas will be populated with a basic gift tag shape, ready for your creative touch.
