I found these birch wood coasters at Michael’s a few weeks back and thought they would make a great base for Christmas ornaments, so I broke out my Silhouette stamping kit and some pigment inks and here’s the first finished one: The deer and tree are part of the same cut file (found here) and […]

Silhouette Advent Calendar
This week, all of the Silhouette design team members were asked to create their own unique advent calendar using any shape from the online store. I chose little birdhouses because I always look forward to seeing which new birds fly south to visit me in the wintertime. All of the little houses are made using […]
Twine Underlay Card
I was playing around with this stencil cut from Hero Arts today and decided to try something a little different. Although I started out using washi tape underneath, later on I changed it to a glitter and twine underlay and I’m pretty happy with the results: To compensate for the thickness of the twine, I […]

The plaid pattern was stamped on a scrap of cardstock using a stamp from the “Cupcake Party” set from Simon Says […]
Wood Inlay Christmas Card
It’s just by luck that I had some wood veneer paper from my Simon Says Stamp Holiday card kit to try this technique with today…and once I figured out how to cut it with my Cameo, I promptly ordered more. Piecing together a few designs from the Silhouette Online Store (using the Subtract tool), I […]
