Place the Tattoo Paper/Clear Carrier Sheet onto your cutting mat. You can even use your Scraper Tool to make sure you have all the bubbles out. ItРІР‚в„ўs a little tricky at first, but just go slowly.

Then slowly and carefully remove the rest of the pale green paper while smoothing the clear, sticky sheet onto the printed paper.

Just pull the strip of pale green paper off first and place it at the top of your paper. Yep, I make mistakes, too! So that is why the green strip is already on my paperР”Р„fter we have printed our Tattoos we need to place the clear Carrier Sheet (the one with the pale green paper on it) on top of our printed Tattoo paper.

I accidentally didnРІР‚в„ўt mirror my first designs, so I had to print them again. PLEASE NOTE: Please excuse the double printing of the 2 designs. ThatРІР‚в„ўs fine if it goes back to auto select, just change it back. IРІР‚в„ўm selecting the rear paper feed slot for mine, and IРІР‚в„ўm going to go down here and change the Paper Type to Photo Paper Glossy. The tattoo paper that IРІР‚в„ўm using requires an inkjet printer, so I select mine, and go into Preferences. So letРІР‚в„ўs move him so the top of his hat is on this line. Now I figure I want the little gnome to be about two inches. And do the same for the Canada Day design. WeРІР‚в„ўll select both from the first design, right-click, Group. We need to also group them so we donРІР‚в„ўt lose the cut lines from each design. Now we want to make sure our designs are the size we want. If the marks are thin, your Silhouette Cameo might sometimes have trouble seeing them.

I always move the Thickness right up to РІР‚Сљ1РІР‚Сњ so that those lines for the Registration Marks really show up. So click on the Page Setup Panel, and click on Registration Marks. Now that we have our cut lines, we want to get our Registration Marks. Step 5: Registration MarksР”В«efore we get to Registration Marks, make sure your Media size is set to 8 Р’Р… x 11. Delete all of those bits because we really only need the outside to cut. You see boxes around them? YouРІР‚в„ўll want to click outside then click back on one of the bitsРІР‚В¦hit Delete. You can either leave them or remove them. If you look, thereРІР‚в„ўs some little bits here. Now weРІР‚в„ўre going to select both designs, then click Offset, and click Apply. So what weРІР‚в„ўre going to do now is go to the Offset Panel. Next we want to put a cut line around our images and when I do that, I like to leave some white space around it, like a white margin. You can see all the white is removed, so click that and delete. ItРІР‚в„ўs not around your design anymore, so just delete that.Р”Р„nd the same with the Canada design. When we click on the white background and move it, you can seeРІР‚В¦thereРІР‚в„ўs the white background. Trace and Detach is going to detach the design from that white background. Now weРІР‚в„ўre going to click Trace and Detach. Scale kind of smooths things out a little bit. WeРІР‚в„ўre getting a little bit, so we want to kind of find a happy medium. We want to make sure the outsides of everything are all there, and not choppy.Р”В«ut we donРІР‚в„ўt want to go so far that we get bits here, outside the leaf. Now we want to move the threshold just a bit. Select both images then just zoom in a little so we can see it a bit better. We donРІР‚в„ўt really want that so letРІР‚в„ўs get rid of it. Next we are going to trace the two designs because, as you can see, thereРІР‚в„ўs a white background on both of the images. So click on the Canada Day one and resize it down. To do that, you just go to File, Merge again then pick the Canada Day image. Now we want the other tattoo image on the same page. So letРІР‚в„ўs go up to File, Merge and pick the first design, and that will load it on to the page. To get started we want both our tattoo images on the sheet of paper (the tattoo paper).

It is a bit expensive, but it definitely does the trick! ItРІР‚в„ўs also a bit confusing how to use it, but I will be explaining that in this tutorial.
