Dial Calendar
When I saw this calendar design by Samantha Walker on the Silhouette Blog a while back, I had to have it and snatched it right up! Paid the whole 99 cents for it…didn’t even wait for a sale. (Big spender here, I know.) With my …

DIY Crafts
Perpetual Flip Calendar
This is a project I’ve wanted to make for years. I saved an image of someone’s flip calendar on my computer in an “inspiration” folder ages ago and am so happy to have finally made it! I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the titles …
Primary Color Challenge
I’m so excited to be a guest designer for the first challenge at a new e-cutter challenge blog called The Paper Cabana. The first challenge is “primary colors” so I grabbed some things from my stash and went to work. I love using clear …
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 …
Tutorial: Grandma Word Album
Here is the tutorial I promised for making your own Grandma Word Album with Silhouette Studio. This can be adapted to make an album out of any word you choose. Just so you know, National Grandparents Day is September 9, 2012. (It’s the first Sunday …
Brigham City Vinyl Tutorial
I sent 50 vinyl cutouts to be sold at Just Bee Scrappin’ in Brigham City, Utah, and want to make sure anyone who purchases them knows how to apply vinyl. I’ve done all the cutting and weeding for those cutouts, but you can also grab …
Festive Themed Fabric Flower Clips
I made these flower hair clips very quickly for my girls the night before our 4th of July celebrations. I used the Contact-paper method to avoid getting out the iron for interfacing, and I used the pattern I provided on this Fabric Frenzy post. No …
Vinyl Name Plate
This is a sample of the project we made last night in the class I taught for Silhouette Basics at Heartland Paper. My students were learning how to use the Text Tool and to Weld in Silhouette Studio, among other things. I added the flower …
Family Reunion Goodies
I haven’t even been to an official family reunion for about 15 years, but I was happy to accept the assignment of a family-reunion craft for my Heartland Paper design-team project this month. Now I know what I’ll do if I’m ever in charge of …
Somebody Stop Me! Fabric Frenzy
Here’s the long-awaited post on more fabric flowers with the Silhouette, tutorials included. (Sorry it took me so long. Has it only been a week since I taught this class?) I spent last week preparing for my Silhouette Silly class at Heartland Paper, where I …
Fabric Interfacing: Print and Cut
All of the elements on this card are cut from fabric. Yup, you heard me. I made a fabric card! (Mounted on a white cardstock base.) Last week I taught a class on Silhouette fabric interfacing, and boy did I have fun getting ready for …
Chore Chart
I made this chore chart using Silhouette’s printable magnet paper with the print and cut feature of the Silhouette Studio software. Honestly, I bought this magnet paper a long, long time ago and never even opened the package until this project. My next Silhouette Silly …
Decorate your Nook
Ahhh…fuzzy vinyl. Love the stuff! My mom and dad came to visit this past week and they brought their matching Nooks with them. The trouble is, they match. My mom was differentiating hers with a sparkly sticker on the front and a little label with …
Fabric Flowers with the Silhouette (Yes, More!)
I wanted to make some more flowers with my Silhouette Cameo that aren’t just for little girls to wear. Flowers in hair are pretty popular, but I don’t do big and flashy, myself. So I made some subtle little flower clips I can wear. This …
Fabric Flowers!
I’m not normally a fabric gal (looove paper instead), but I’ve been experimenting a little. If you’ve read my recent posts you know I made these organza peonies using my Silhouette to cut them out, but I finally got brave enough to try fabric interfacing. …
Floral Wreath with Paper Flowers
Here it is! I can’t tell you how long I spent on this project because I’ve been thinking about it for a couple of months, collecting ideas and watching/reading tutorials, and gathering flower files. The actual cutting and assembling I spread across a couple of …
Fabric Peonies with your Silhouette
Have you missed me? I’ve been busy with a super-deluxe project that I’ll show you in just a couple of days, but for now I want to show you what I made with some delicate fabric using my Cameo to cut it. I bought this …
Cutting Delicate Fabrics with Your Silhouette
Here’s a quick trick I found today. I can cut tulle with my Silhouette and have no backing ironed on! 1. Place fabric on your cutting mat. 2. Lay clear transfer tape (contact paper or even vinyl may work, but clear will let you position …
Hoppy Easter Framed Art
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 …
Heart Mobile Tutorial
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 …
Sweet Valentine Hanger Tutorial
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 …
Home is Where….
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. …
For the Bride
I made a similar wedding gift a while ago, but didn’t get to go to see it opened. Last week I was able to give this gift at a bridal shower and the bride’s reaction was one that makes all handmade gifts worth it. I …
Variation on Christmas Frame
I hope you’re not tired of this frame yet. I just wanted to show one more variation of this frame I did using fuzzy black vinyl. Fuzzy white vinyl would work great, too, but I was working with black at the time. I wish you …
Christmas Neighbor Gifts 2011
Here’s what I came up with after deciding not to make multiples of this frame with vinyl. I used the same shapes in Silhouette Studio, but printed them on cute Christmas pattern paper in black ink. I like the variety of color on these. Merry …
