Crafty Projects and Silhouette Inspiration and Instruction

This week’s free design from Silhouette is an adorable owl. I decided to make a friendly little owl card with two of these owls and lots of layers. I wanted to create my own saying on a banner shape, so I used Silhouette Studio’s Text-To-Path …

I made a set of notes and envelopes to have ready to write on and toss into my kids’ lunches this school year. (Actually, I threw in some generic feminine cards with vellum envelopes, too.) The more I have ready, the easier it is …
I created this two-toned thank you card after I saw this love-you card on Pinterest. She used punches and scissors, but I used the fancy knife tool in Silhouette Studio (with washi as one layer) to change it up a bit. I used my knife …
I made this card with Silhouette stencil material and dye-based stamping inks on watercolor paper. I love the blending I was able to accomplish and the texture from the watercolor paper. Stencils are so fun to use for flawless artwork! And now that I have …
Hello! I think Silhouette stamps mixed with sketching is such a great combination! Today’s post features the Silhouette stamping material, combined with the sketch function of the Silhouette machines. I created this simple design with a word balloon from retro speech bubbles by putting 9 …
Baby shower season is in full swing around here! I found this cute 3D stand-up birthday card in the online store and added pastel pink glitters to make it appropriate for a baby girl. Because this card has a lot of layers (cardstock, chipboard, double-sided …
As the school year comes to a close, I wanted to give my kids’ teachers each a little something to say thanks for the time they’ve put into my children’s education this year. This adorable desk card cutting file is in the Silhouette online …
I made this card for my sweet friend, Louise. We used to scrapbook and make cards together for years, so I know she likes sparkles and flowers. I used the same template I made for this birthday card, but I used colors she would like …
I was asked to make baby shower invitations for a soon-to-be mom in our neighborhood. I was happy to do it! …But they had to be inexpensive, done in a week, and there needed to be 90 so we could invite all the ladies in …
This is a project I’ve wanted to make for a long time, and I had to recruit my husband and his workshop to help me. He was excited about this magnet board, too, so he was very willing to help. We wanted a place where …
Happy Retirement, Dad! Even when searching on Pinterest (my go-to source for inspiration), I had trouble finding a retirement card that really grabbed my attention. So I made my own with a bendy card Silhouette cutting file. All the details for this bendy card were …
How are you? 🙂 I’m here to share this uplifting card I made that features a mini paper gardenia as its focal point. I’ve got a few Silhouette Studio Library tips for you, too. Did you know that designs requiring some assembly often have links …
Hello, friends! I made every bit of this “Lucky to Have You” card with my Silhouette CAMEO. (Well, not the baker’s twine or the brads. But the gold brads were made by dipping plain silver brads into fine gold glitter.) Here is my post originally …
For those of you who are part of the LDS community and know about the Young Women organization, you may be familiar with the New Beginnings program. We start out the new year with a meeting that introduces the annual theme and gets the …

Originally posted on the Silhouette Blog 1/2/2014 Happy New Year! January for me is a time for setting goals and getting things in order, like having cards ready to send. I made some custom address labels using Silhouette Studio to design them, and I used …
