Day of the Dead Floral Skull Project

Day of the Dead Floral Skull Project

  I love making creative things for a part-time job! I will admit that some projects and classes are more appealing than others, but when a sugar skull with flowers was suggested, I dropped everything non-essential and whipped up this project! We like Day of 

Halloween Wall Decor

In this month’s blog post on Silhouette 101, I’m sharing a tutorial on how to make this cute Halloween wall decor. The design is actually for a card, but I’ve enlarged it and added some fun details to make it really stand out. I hope

Halloween Village

Halloween Village

I’m a bit ashamed to say I haven’t really gotten out my Halloween decorations yet this year, but I did make an entirely new Halloween village this month with Carina Gardner’s designs in the Silhouette Design Store. Details about all the fun houses I made

How To Sketch & Cut with the Silhouette Dual Tool Holder

Hi, friends! Today I’m going to share two ways to use the dual tool holder on the Silhouette CAMEO 3 (or the Silhouette Curio) for sketching and cutting. Sketch & cut is when you sketch a design with a pen, then cut it out with 

Harry Potter Secret Sister Treats for Girls Camp

Harry Potter Secret Sister Treats for Girls Camp

As you may have seen in my previous post, our Girls Camp this year had a Harry Potter theme. I took that theme and ran with it to make my daughter’s and my niece’s secret sister gifts. Enter Pumpkin Juice, spell books, and Hedwig the 

Halloween Birthday Party

Halloween Birthday Party

This year I decided to be a good mom and have birthday parties for all of my kids.  Well, three out of four got parties.  Long story. Anyway, I figure if I am truly a crafty mom then I can make some fun invitations and 

Halloween Block

Halloween Block

Are you ready for Halloween?  I had the chance to work with Echo Park’s Arsenic and Lace collection, which has beautiful Halloween colors.  This 7” black-painted block has been sitting around my craft room waiting for the perfect project, and this Halloween block was it. 

3D Haunted House Assembly Tutorial

3D Haunted House Assembly Tutorial

Here’s my assembly tutorial for this haunted house I made for Silhouette America.  My instructions are for a CAMEO machine, but the original house file does come sized to be used with Portrait and earlier Silhouette models.  If you don’t use a CAMEO, it will 

Positionable Skeleton

Positionable Skeleton

When I was little we had a paper skeleton my mom brought out at Halloween, and we loved to put him into crazy positions.  I found this positionable skeleton in the Silhouette Design Store more than a year ago and finally put him together!  This 

3D Haunted House

3D Haunted House

  The first large project I made when I bought my CAMEO in 2011 was a haunted house, and I thought it would be fun to revisit this project and create a new house for my fall decorations. I started with the luminara haunted house 

Spooky Eyes

Spooky Eyes

O.K. I know Halloween is past for this year, but I promised to share this when I posted a sneak peak on Instagram.  This is definitely not an original idea; I saw it on Pinterest in several variations (all made from toilet paper rolls), but 

Cheese!

Cheese!

  My Cameo has been helping with our Halloween costumes this year.  (Give me paper over fabric any day!)  My two daughters decided they wanted to be black cats and my youngest son wanted to be a mouse.  To continue on with the theme, they 

Halloween Treat Bottle

  It’s getting to be that time of year again! I think fall and Halloween projects are some of my favorite. This is a vinyl project I’ll be teaching for my next Silhouette Silly class at Heartland Paper on September 20th.  It will be from

Sorry I haven’t posted anything lately.  I’ve been getting to know my new Cameo machine.  I love it so much and am having no troubles whatsoever with it.  Here is my first big project I made with it: This is a cutting file from the 

Halloween Candle:  Silhouette Tattoo Paper

Halloween Candle: Silhouette Tattoo Paper

I tried the Silhouette Temporary Tattoo Paper yesterday for the first time. I had heard you could use it on candles, so this was my first project using it. These gorgeous Halloween images came from a free downloadable set by April at SecondsisterSuaviloquy, called The

Use any kind of ephemera to create a mobile. Here’s a tutorial I’m sharing with you to create a Halloween mobile with ribbon, thread, and scrapbook paper.   Materials: 10” metal ring (or you could use an embroidery hoop, painted black if desired). 4-5 yards 

Halloween Card #2

Halloween Card #2

Here is a card of my own design. I knew I wanted to use a spiderweb, and the rest evolved around that. Simple, but cute. You can see this card in person soon, on display at Heartland Paper. I used a spiderweb shape from my

Halloween Party Invitation

Halloween Party Invitation

This Halloween Party Invitation is an idea I saw from a Flickr photo, and apparently the original idea came from Martha Stewart, but of course I changed it a little to use things I had accessible to me.  I can’t compare to Martha Stewart, but 

Halloween Mobile

Halloween Mobile

I just delivered this to Heartland Paper.  I wrote a tutorial for it, so hopefully that will show up soon on the Heartland Blog and I’ll provide a link then.  This was a lot of fun to make, using Teresa Collins’ new “Haunted Hallows” collection. 

Haunted House Kids Craft

Haunted House Kids Craft

I thought I had posted this last fall but apparently I didn’t.  We made these houses about the time I created my blog. These are Halloween houses cut by the Silhouette (purchased from the Silhouette store but no longer available). I made them bigger than 

Back to Halloween

Back to Halloween

I know we’re past it, but I want to share my Halloween projects. My oldest son wanted to be a peregrine falcon for Halloween. I don’t buy costumes and I don’t sew much, but I do like to make the kids’ costumes. For this one,
