A couple that is very special to me recently got married in my hometown…and being the uber-pregnant lady that I am right now, I was unable to travel all the way there to attend. In an attempt to make up for my absence, I wanted to give them an extra-special personalized gift. The theme was […]

Foiled Baby Frame
Ever since the Minc from Heidi Swapp was announced this year, foiling has been all the rage. In fact, I bought one (after trying for weeks to use a regular laminator and not liking the results) and love mine…but that’s a post for another time. Today, I wanted to share a way to foil both […]
Etched Easter Basket Vase
With the first day of Spring behind us and Easter just around the corner, I decided to use my one of my favorite techniques this week to create a quick and pretty flower vase etched with a beautiful basket-weave pattern. To add interest and a little something different, this time I painted the inside of […]
Sketched St. Patrick’s Day Frame
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! As soon as I saw this week’s free design, I knew I wanted to “sketch” something out of the ordinary with it. So, today I’m sharing a way to take a sketch file and easily embellish a 3D piece of decor (like this plain white picture frame) using the Silhouette Printable Tattoo […]

Today’s tutorial shows you how to make your own custom “printed” ribbon with stencil vinyl and fabric ink to use as a basket or bucket wrap for gifts or your own […]
Retro Kitchen Towel Set

It is a beautiful room (that unfortunately can’t be emulated in my traditional-style home) and I thought it called for some new […]
Sketched Valentine’s Day Art
Today I’m sharing another quick decor project that can be used for Valentine’s Day or any other day of the year that you’d like to tell someone how you feel about them. This chalkboard-inspired sketched art can be left plain, colored with a variety of media, or even shrunken down to be used as a card. […]
Ombre Heart Art
It’s almost Valentine’s Day, but today I wanted to share a quick decor project that’s generic enough to leave up during the rest of the year if you’d like. Using the Silhouette Stencil Material with some embossing paste and ready-made canvases from the craft store, I made this set of three textured ombré hearts in just a […]
