First, let me give credit to my source of inspiration. I found this cute spring project on Pinterest and had to make something like it for myself. Here’s Kim’s DIY spring art project from the Celebration Shoppe. And here’s my take on it: I made …
I made this card for a card challenge on the Silhouette Plus forum, then turned it into a class on using sketch pens for Silhouette users in my area. I’m going to try this class again later because of a lack of interested parties this …
I wanted to try out this little purse file I had in my Silhouette Library, so I cut one in black and one in pink. I spread it diagonally across my 12×12″ mat to make it as big as possible, so there was a lot …
I just wanted to show this cute bag topper we’ll be making for the Silhouette Basics Class at Heartland Paper (Lesson 2 is on March 6th this time around). My co-teacher Alice came up with the cute idea and I just refined it a little. …
Ahhh…it feels good to scrapbook again. I decided to take on the sketch challenge from the Silhouette Blog and scrapbook a funny conversation I had this week with my two-year old, who has quite an advanced vocabulary for his age. He’s constantly asking questions, but …
Here it is, the second set of cards I promised during the “Love My Cameo” blog hop. This is actually where I started, with these beautiful flower sketch designs from Barb Derksen. I made my own designs for the blog hop to match the Valentine’s …
I know Valentine’s Day has come and gone, but I need to share what I did for my kids’ Valentines this year. I used a pen in my Cameo to write “I choo-choo-choose you. Happy Valentine’s Day” on train shapes, then had the blade cut …
Welcome to my stop along the “Love My Cameo” blog hop. If you have just come from Lisa’s blog at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons, you’re in the right place. If you just stopped by my blog today, click on this link to Amy Chomas to …
I made these tissue box covers for my kids’ elementary school teachers. What teacher doesn’t go through a lot of tissues in a year, right? This cover will go over both Kleenex-brand square tissue boxes and Kirkland-brand (Costco) square tissue boxes. I shared this cutting …
I’ve been playing with my sketch pens again lately in my Cameo, and this is the Valentine card I made for my husband. I used a black glitter Silhouette sketch pen to sketch the typewriter, a dark silver gel pen in the Chomas Creations Silhouette …
I was asked how to design your own scalloped circles using Silhouette Studio, so I’ve written a short tutorial. This can be done in either version (basic or designer). Here are the scalloped circles I’ll show how to make, using basically the same steps each …
I spent hours drooling over all the pretty mobiles I could find on Pinterest, and then I combined several of my favorites to create this one. This is another project I submitted as a design-team member for Heartland Paper Co. It only uses a single …
I made a version of this Valentine hanging decoration a couple of years ago, but this is my new and improved version. I turned this in to Heartland Paper today, so if you live in or near Davis County, Utah, you can go see it …
I spent most of my time available one day making one of my etched-glass frames as a bridal-shower gift for a sweet girl who used to babysit my kids. As the time drew near for me to leave, I realized I hadn’t made a card …
I finally got around to putting vinyl on my wall after years of putting it on everything else. I’ve put Silhouette vinyl on doors, mailboxes, mirrors, jars, plastic containers, dishes, holiday ornaments, cards…you name it. But not on my walls, until a few days ago. …
This is the card we’ll be making for our final lesson in the Silhouette Basics class I’m teaching at Heartland Paper in Bountiful, Utah. It’s simple, but we’re using one existing heart shape, a circle, and a rectangle to make all of this. And a …
A reader asked me how she could use her new Cameo to make these from Skip to My Lou‘s free printables: using Sarah Bailey’s “Butterfly Valentine” file from the Silhouette Design Store: She wanted to get text on a path around the butterfly wings, so …
I know a lot of you aren’t Silhouette users, but a lot of you are. I’ve written quite a few tutorials for the Silhouette Plus forum, and teach Silhouette classes at Heartland Paper, but I’ve decided I should include these tutorials here on my blog …
I’ve seen pictures from two wonderful ladies who used my Christmas Village templates. I thought it would be fun to show them here. This set was made by Debby: And this display was made by Susan. She mixed in a lot of other fun things …
