A tip for cutting outline titles by hand is to cut the inside if the letters before the outside. That way the paper is more sturdy, and it is less likely to tear. If you use a knife, start out with a paper piercer (or a needle), and poke holes in all corners. When you cut, the blade will “stop” when hitting the hole, making the corners more precise.
Three things, Friends one of the best shows ever made, black on a layout amazing, and third, I’m class of 88 and we didn’t look like that.🤣 It’s lovey Shimelle . TFS
Cute page! I have a ton of ways to cut letters but I love that you’re taking into account the new scrappers and people with minimal supplies. It’s been a long time since I’ve fussy cut fonts. You’ve really inspired me to do it again.
Such an awesome page! Thank you so much for sharing! Love it, 🥰 Two side notes ... 1) I think that’s the least amount of embellishments I’ve ever seen you use on a page and 2) in all those years following you I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen you NOT wearing nail polish. 😆 Just some random thoughts. 😉 Glad to have you back on RUclips!
Yes, it's definitely a little different in style! As for the nail varnish, I'm going to take a month or so off from wearing any and do my best to nurse my nails back to health. You're right that they are always polished in some way or another, and with the building work at the moment, I'm messing the polish up as soon as I finish, and I was fighting a losing battle! So I guess I am here to normalise natural nails for a while, even though I prefer them colourful! :)
I love how you always offer several options on changing the look of a layout.
What a lovely surprise to see another video ! Thank you you are the best !! please MOAR !!!!!!!!
This is adorable! It’s so fun to see old school techniques brought back. I love it! 😊

Watching the replay.
Awesome layout Shimelle! Thanks for sharing 😊
Such a cute layout! I have become quite adept with my craft knife due to years of paper piecing without a machine! Love it!
I loved hand cutting titles “back in the day”. Nice to see you do it!
I used to love doing titles like this. Will have to do it again. Thank you for the inspiration. I love your page

Awesome tips with the scissors! I forgot about this title technique!
Love this!
Love it! So clean and crisp looking. I think that’s the least embellishment I’ve ever seen you do! Of course, I love the title font.

Fun page!
I do like with pic in the middle - great idea
Love this! Great idea to make a cut title.
Would you believe I have been trying to do a page with 11 small 1/2 x 2 photos and two 3 x 4's. Nailed it !! 😊😊
Love this! Love all the “Friends” !!! Really cute and fun!!
Fun layout! TFS
Love it!❤️❤️❤️
Oh man, love the title - I am not patient enough for fussy cutting. Luckily I have a Silhouette to do my dirty work! Looks great :)
Shimelle have you gotten your studio yet? Are you going to do a journal your christmas kit this year?
We are building in the studio as we speak. There will be Christmas stamps and a shopping list for the kit.
If you looked through my scrapbooks (circa 2004 to 2012) I'd estimate about 80% of my titles were made this way. I think I feel old now 😂
I can't eye ball anything or anytime. I use A magnetic mat, magnet ruler and magnets.
