Crafty Projects and Silhouette Inspiration and Instruction
We had a fun activity with the girls in our neighborhood this week. We decorated cookies and delivered them to several other neighbors whom we thought could use a little pick-me-up. I volunteered to make the cards. 🙂 I’ve mentioned this before (probably several times), …
For this week’s free design from Silhouette America, my goal was a quick and easy project. Watermelon dish towels! By the way, have you grabbed this watermelon design yet? I decided to decorate multiple dish towels with the same design in fabric ink, so Silhouette’s …
Big News: Silhouette Summit I have been so excited about this for MONTHS! I’ve been invited to attend Silhouette Summit 2016 in Honolulu, Hawaii! The clock is ticking down, and it’s only a matter of days away! (May 20-21) I truly think I am Silhouette’s …
I Will Not Comply T-Shirt I made this T-shirt for my niece whose mother complains she is a bit…um…non-compliant. I used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut the phrase out of gold and black glitter heat transfer material. A tutorial follows for how to keep the …
Twin Onesies I saw this idea for twin onesies years ago and Pinned it on a Pinterest board, hoping someone I know would have twins just so I could make this project. This is one of those projects where I chuckled to myself the entire …
Hello, all! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? My part-time job has felt more like a full-time job with the busy U.S. tax season, and the All Things Silhouette Conference has taken up a lot of my time recently as well. (More on that in …
Hey, Curio fans! Here’s a new tutorial up for a multi-color stipple project with the Silhouette Curio. (Originally posted on the Silhouette America blog.) Happy Spring! (Or happy fall to my southern-hemisphere friends.) Either way, both seasons often mean it’s time to keep an …
I’m doing a little 10-minute presentation tomorrow at our LDS Stake Relief Society conference. The theme is “Delight On the Sabbath,” so I chose to share a kids’ church bag idea. I’ve created a free design with the LDS 2016 Primary theme that can be …
This is Silhouette’s free design of the week! A sweet baby girl carousel card. I’ve got more details and photos of this project over on the Silhouette America blog. Go grab this card kit for free before 1/26/16 and take a look at my tutorial …
I’m here to show you another fun way to use your PixScan™ mat. I made a fabric ornament and wanted to cut my pieces from a certain part of a scrap of fabric. The PixScan™ mat allowed me to do exactly that. Read on to …
Here’s the step-by-step tutorial I promised for making this shirt with Silhouette UV light-sensitive fabric inks and smooth heat transfer material. I used my Silhouette Curio, but you can do this project with a Portrait or CAMEO as well. Are you ready? You can …
Have you heard? I’m back on the Silhouette Creative Design Team! (I enjoyed the 6-month break, but I missed it too much to stay away for a whole year.) Here’s my first project back on the team. I used my Silhouette Curio and Silhouette’s new …
Do you have any of those projects you’ve been meaning to get to for a very long time? (The kind that you live without but really want to make but never find the time?) This Family Home Evening board was one of those projects for …
My mother-in-law had an excellent Mother’s Day this year. Her daughter got all of us moms together to make a photo album for Grandma with a two-page spread from each grandchild with his/her picture and what they love about her. The book was amazing, but …
I meant to share a more detailed tutorial on this multi-color, flocked heat-transfer project that was featured as a design-team post in February. My, how time flies! The original, condensed version of this post was featured on the Silhouette blog. Here are more details to …
I’m spotlighting the free design of the week on the Silhouette America blog today with this cute shamrock arrangement. I made my own springy stems with floral wire and used gold glitter heat transfer material for some accents. Here’s the post as it originally appeared …
I have wanted to use this beautiful saying ever since I first saw it in the Silhouette design store. I made it as a gift to my sister who has had a rough time the past few years, and who also happens to be …
I have just fallen in love with heat transfer material all over again! Not because I was procrastinating, but because I have been so busy (ahem)…I waited until the day of a baby shower to start on my gift. I got up early and went …
Can you believe how close we are to Christmas? I used today’s free design for Silhouette’s “12 Days of Christmas” freebies to decorate this Warm Winter Wishes paper mug with white flocked heat transfer material. I made two mugs, filled them with fancy cocoa and …
While back-to-school shopping, my little girl who loves bright and flamboyant clothing saw a fancy Minnie Mouse shirt that she loved. Too pricey. But nearby were some inexpensive, plain but bright pink shirts. I knew I had all the materials (and my Silhouette Cameo) at …
Wedding season is upon us! I attended two bridal showers this week and love making handmade gifts, so these are my gift of choice this season. Let me tell you how I made these fabric wrapped canvas panels with quotes. I bought a 3-pack …
Originally posted on the Silhouette blog 11/28/2013 Kelly here! I’m happy to be here with you again, this time for a Thursday Sketch project. Stamped backgrounds have caught my eye lately in cards, and I think a lot of sketched shapes would make great backgrounds …
Here’s another shirt where I’ve added fabric paint and heat transfer vinyl (HTV). I cut the sun out of freezer paper (Silhouette settings: speed 3, thickness 10, blue cap on original blade or blade 1 with ratchet blade) and got nice crisp lines when I …
Here are a couple more heat transfer vinyl projects. The first is a falcon in smooth silver on my son’s backpack. He loves Peregrine falcons and I bought this from the Silhouette store a while back for him. It was perfect to dress up his …
Here’s the shirt I made for my youngest daughter yesterday. Well, I decorated it anyway. 🙂 I don’t sew, so it’s nice to make some form of handcrafted clothing once in a while. The hardest part, as usual, was finding a good idea. I knew …
