The consistently warm weather has finally settled into my neck of the woods, so I’ve been spending the last several weeks prepping and planting my vegetable garden and hoping for a good growing season.

Hello Sunshine Sign
This week’s free shape bundle has so many possibilities. When I saw the doily shape and flowers, though, I immediately decided to go a little country and create this quick Print & Cut sign using the Printable Cotton Canvas. Open your design in Silhouette Studio and delete any unwanted shapes. I also opened up this title on my […]

Vellum Suncatchers
Hey ya’ll…I’m back with a quick and easy project using the Silhouette Vellum Paper. When I felt how sturdy this material was compared to some vellum papers, I knew I wanted to try to make faux suncatchers with it.
