Fabric Ornament with PixScan

Fabric Ornament with PixScan

I’m here to show you another fun way to use your PixScan™ mat. I made a fabric ornament and wanted to cut my pieces from a certain part of a scrap of fabric. The PixScan™ mat allowed me to do exactly that. Read on to 

Import PDFs into Silhouette Studio

Import PDFs into Silhouette Studio

Today I want to share these pinecone elves I made with my kids as a Christmas craft. I used a Martha Stewart PDF template available online for the mittens, hat, and shoes. Of course you know if I can use my CAMEO, I will, so 

PixScan and Stamps

PixScan and Stamps

Hello! I’ve got a few Silhouette PixScan tutorials you may have already read, and today I’m adding to the list. I love this specialized mat because it can do quite a few things my CAMEO can’t do on its own. Here’s my tutorial for using 

Multi-Color Mint Stamps

Multi-Color Mint Stamps

Today I’m revisiting the Silhouette Mint machine. It’s a custom stamp maker that uses a thermal printing process to turn what you design in Mint Studio into a stamp. So very cool. The ability to make a stamp with multiple colors is even better. Because

I don’t know if you heard about the All Things Silhouette Conference this past November, but I did, and I heard it was a big success.  Well, my big news is I get to be a presenter at the next All Things Silhouette Conference in 

Joy of Christmas Etched Art

Joy of Christmas Etched Art

I tried my Silhouette Curio’s etching feature for this framed Christmas art, and I love it! Etching was super easy with my Curio, the stippling/etching tool, and Silhouette’s metal etching sheets. The etching sheets are 5″ x 7″ and I wanted it in this 8″

Silhouette Mint

Silhouette Mint

I first used the Silhouette Mint in September 2015 when I was invited to the launch party in Provo, Utah. Each of the attendees got to make their own stamp and take it home. I loved the Mint right from that first moment! As soon

Print & Emboss Thank You Card

Print & Emboss Thank You Card

Have you tried the new Curio’s “print and emboss” feature yet? I made this card with my Curio, and I’m so “impressed” with how it turned out! All of these colorful words are embossed around the edges so the letters are gently raised above the 

Thankful Printable

Thankful Printable

Hello, friends! I’m sharing how I used this free thankful printable design over on the Silhouette America blog today. I printed it on printable cotton fabric and then cut it with my Silhouette Curio–isn’t it glorious?! (I wish you could touch it.) I also share 

Line Color & Line Style Windows

This video lesson covers the Line Color Window and the Line Style Window. This may seem pretty basic, but you may learn a few useful tips. Have you ever printed a Studio document only to find that nothing shows up? It’s possible you didn’t fill 

Adding Patterns to Silhouette Studio

Adding Patterns to Silhouette Studio

Here is the addition to my Fill Windows lesson. Filling shapes with patterns is a fun option in Silhouette Studio, so why not also use the patterns you love from your digital pattern paper collection? This process is better with the Designer Edition, but there

Hello Sunshine Curio Debossed Art

Hello Sunshine Curio Debossed Art

Hello Sunshine! I want to share with you this piece I made with my Silhouette Curio. Embossing/debossing is one of those tasks well suited to the Curio with its special platforms and foam mat. I chose to give mine a little more pizzazz with gold 

UV Fabric Inks Tutorial

UV Fabric Inks Tutorial

  Here’s the step-by-step tutorial I promised for making this shirt with Silhouette UV light-sensitive fabric inks and smooth heat transfer material. I used my Silhouette Curio, but you can do this project with a Portrait or CAMEO as well. Are you ready? You can 

Fall Pumpkin Vinyl

Fall Pumpkin Vinyl

We had a pretty good garden this year, but we only got one single pumpkin. One. So I had to make it extra fancy when my husband brought it in. I added some pretty vinyl with a fall theme, cut with my trusty CAMEO, of 

You Are Amazing

You Are Amazing

Here’s a card I made for my wonderful mother-in-law, who helped me teach an “All Wrapped Up” class in our neighborhood this week. She poured her heart and soul into it from the moment I asked her to do it with me, and the class 

The Most Brilliant Color

Silhouette Lesson: Move Window & Rotate Window

Silhouette Lesson: Move Window & Rotate Window

Here’s another Silhouette Studio lesson that teaches all about how you can use the Move Window and the Rotate Window. I find I frequently use certain parts of the Move Window, and rotation options found in the Rotate Window can be very helpful. Remember, the

Silhouette Curio Stipple Feature

I’m excited to show you the new Silhouette Curio stipple feature! I bought the Curio as soon as it was released last month, and I have been having fun playing with its different capabilities. I think the stipple feature is really fun, especially for converting 

3D Birthday Cake Card

3D Birthday Cake Card

I love these type of 3D cards in the Silhouette design store. They are pretty fast to cut with my CAMEO and to assemble. Most of the thought and planning (the slow part for me) is already done and included in the design. I made
