You get a kitty! And you get a kitty!

I used @silhouette.inc shrink plastic print & cut sheets to make a lot of cute little plastic kitties for my older kids to give to their friends. They’re too old for classroom valentines, but you’d be surprised how many 20-yr olds get excited for a silly little cat to carry in their pocket! Great for Valentines Day or just because!

These are quick to make with sticker sets in the Silhouette Design Store—just cut them from shrink plastic instead of sticker sheets. I love how the software and products are so versatile like that!

Here’s a little visual comparison of the Silhouett

Here’s a little visual comparison of the Silhouette cutting mat vs. the Silhouette ES (electrostatic) mat. While there’s nothing wrong with “sticking” with the cutting mat, I really prefer the ES mat whenever I can use it! Each has its pros and cons, which I explain in my blog post. Check it out on FindingTimeToCreate.com !
P.S. Make sure to use my discount code TIME2 when purchasing the ES mat or a machine bundle that includes the ES mat! #silhouetteesmat #esmat #electrostaticmat
