Family Photo Tile and a Free Cut File
I created this Family Photo Tile for the August Silhouette Challenge, using an idea I had seen in one of my Cameo Facebook groups. Â Yes, Facebook groups exist for those of us who loooove our Cameos and let me say, the groups I’m in are super helpful! Â Anyway, I created the Family Photo Tile using a 12×12 tile that my husband has scads of. Â He bought them at Home Depot, on major clearance, and must have at least three boxes of them :).
So, today I want to share with you how I made this Family Photo Tile….and YOU get a FREE cut file out of it. Â If, for some reason, the link to the file doesn’t work, let me know. Â It should go directly to your Downloads, and you can open it in your Silhouette Studio Software from there. Â If not, email me at foundmyfavorite@gmail.com, and I’ll send it to you as an attachment :). Â This file is created for a 12×12 tile. Â Remember, the design is for PERSONAL use only, not for commercial use.

Supplies:
Silhouette Cameo
12×12 tile
651 Vinyl {I used a chocolate brown color}
4×6 acrylic frame {found mine at JoAnn’s}
Hot glue
Tabletop Easel {also found at JoAnn’s}
To create this, I opened a new file in Silhouette Studio.
I added a 4×6 rectangle in the top right corner of my file, because that is where I was going to place the picture. Â Do this first, so you can arrange the quote around it.
Next, I added “Having somewhere to go is”, and positioned it to the left of my rectangle. Â Then, I chose a fancier font and added “Home”.
I continued this with the rest of my quote. Â I used the “Aubrey” font for the “Having someone….” part of the quote and a script font for the words “Home”, “Family”, and “Blessing”. Â For more fun fonts, check out my “Fashionable Fonts” board on Pinterest.
Now, time to cut. Â I loaded my Silhouette with chocolate brown vinyl. Â While it was cutting, I hot glued my frame to the upper right hand corner of the tile.
After it was finished, I cut out the “Having somewhere to go is” with scissors, because I didn’t want to attempt to apply the WHOLE quote at once. Â So, I cut it out, leaving some border around it, weeded it, and then applied it with transfer paper. Â Since I applied it in individual parts, it was easier to line it up and also to position it around the frame.
I added a picture of our family beach vacation, and I was done!
I’m planning on making one for my grandma for her birthday. Â And probably several for Christmas gifts. Â It’s so simple, even a beginner can do it.
