Crafty Projects and Silhouette Inspiration and Instruction
My niece just finished performing in our community-theater musical production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” She played Tevya’s youngest daughter and did a fantastic job. It was a lot of work for an 11-year-old! She was out there singing and dancing with a bunch …
I just found out this afternoon that SVG Cuts was offering this handbag cutting file as a freebie; and not only that, they would give out a $6.99 giftcard for using the file and posting pictures. It was an easy task to fit in …
I made this ribbon to wear during 4th of July celebrations here in the United States, but you can adapt this ribbon for any occasion by changing the colors and making your own label for the front. My daughter gave me a ribbon similar to …
Wedding season is coming upon us now that the weather is getting nicer. I’ve wanted to do a more formal 3D cake card from Crafting Creatures ever since this birthday card turned out so nicely. This time I used Silhouette double-sided adhesive with their …
I’ve been collecting Washi sheets and Washi tape, but haven’t used it much. (I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one.) It can join my collection of unused pretty paper. 🙂 But I did use it for this birthday card for my little daughter’s BFF. …
I have wanted to try the double-sided adhesive sheets released by Silhouette last summer ever since I heard about them, and I finally got some! Here are the simple instructions provided by Silhouette, plus my added observations. 1. Open or create an image in the …
I don’t normally do Christmas cards in the middle of the summer, but my friend Barb set a challenge for us to make Christmas cards this week, well last week, but better late than never. 🙂 I figured it sounded fun, especially if I came …
Here’s another project I created for the Heartland Paper design team. I left out the photos for now because it’s just an idea and I never seem to have any great pictures from the 4th of July. They’re all pretty average. I do better with …
As I was busy trying to complete wreaths for my moms last weekend for Mother’s Day, I realized Sunday afternoon there was no way that was going to happen. So I had to switch gears and make some very quick cards, but since they were …
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 …
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 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 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 used the same flower shape (ID #7994) to decorate both the shirt and the jeans for my two girls. It comes with the swirl on both sides of the flower, but I left it off for the vertical flower on the jeans so it …
Bring on the Bling! I used the glitter sketch pens with the Silhouette for these cards and am really happy with the result. Version 1 (more pink): Version 2 (bringing out the yellow and blue from the pattern paper): Together (you can really see the …
I bought a little green outfit for my preschooler from WalMart for St. Patrick’s day because she didn’t have any green. At that age, the more green the better, right? The shirt with leggings was only $6 and already had the glittery butterfly/flower scene. I …
