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. And since I couldn’t decide which method I liked best, I decided to share all three. The […]

Monogrammed Welcome Mat
In my neck of the woods the winter weather is nearly gone, so that means it’s time for me to start sprucing up my outdoor spaces. When I saw the new line of split monogram designs from Snapdragon Snippets in the Online Store, I was immediately inspired to make this personalized welcome mat. I tested a couple of fonts […]
Build-A-Monster Fridge Magnets
Have you tried the Silhouette Printable Magnet Paper yet? I can think of tons of practical applications for this stuff, but for this project I decided to try something fun instead and made monster “paper-dolls”. The printable side has a nice glossy finish and the material cuts beautifully, so my little monster pieces came out quite professional-looking. […]
Falling Hearts Mobile

Stenciled Heart Card
For the first day of OnlineCardClasses.com’s “Stenciled” class, I was inspired by Debby’s sponging technique to make this valentine: I’m only about 80% satisfied with this…but it’s late, and I have more cards and a design team project to make tomorrow, so this is my final answer. I sponged the background with Memento Luxe inks […]
Mason Jar Vase and Matching Trivet using the NEW Silhouette Stencil Material
Hey ya’ll…I’m back with a quick project using the brand new Silhouette Stencil Material just introduced at Winter CHA 2014. It is a little known fact that I actually bought my CAMEO for the sole purpose of creating custom stencils…but when I realized how powerful of a tool it could be, I quickly started using […]
