Crafty Projects and Silhouette Inspiration and Instruction
This is my junior-high-school son’s English term project. What’s inside, you say? A word. The word “emerge,” to be exact. The assignment instructions for the various projects my son could choose from were a little vague, but one of his choices said he could make …
Are you ready for Halloween? I had the chance to work with Echo Park’s Arsenic and Lace collection, which has beautiful Halloween colors. This 7” black-painted block has been sitting around my craft room waiting for the perfect project, and this Halloween block was it. …
Every once in a while, I don’t use Silhouette Studio for designing. Because this was an invitation with all text and because it would be printed at a print shop, I opted to use Microsoft Publisher instead. I was asked to make over 100 invitations …
If you follow my blog, you’re already aware of some things I think Silhouette’s PixScan™ mat is useful for (I’ll list the links again at the end of the post). Today I’ve got another idea for you. Maybe none of you have ever had a …
This week’s free design from Silhouette is an adorable owl. I decided to make a friendly little owl card with two of these owls and lots of layers. I wanted to create my own saying on a banner shape, so I used Silhouette Studio’s Text-To-Path …
Congratulations, Nance (a.k.a. Jun Bug House)! Thank you, everyone, for the sweet comments on my blog and on ADORNit’s blog. Nance, please send me an email with your mailing address to kellyslater42 at yahoo dot com.
Here’s my assembly tutorial for this haunted house I made for Silhouette America. My instructions are for a CAMEO machine, but the original house file does come sized to be used with Portrait and earlier Silhouette models. If you don’t use a CAMEO, it will …
When I was little we had a paper skeleton my mom brought out at Halloween, and we loved to put him into crazy positions. I found this positionable skeleton in the Silhouette Design Store more than a year ago and finally put him together! This …
For my final ADORNit project this week, I was given this shadow box kit. I’ve got more details over on the ADORNit blog {here}! If you’re a Silhouette user, read on… I used my Silhouette CAMEO PixScan™ mat a lot for this project, and I …
I almost forgot… It’s my blog’s 4th anniversary today! Thanks to all my loyal viewers who come visit on a regular basis. And thanks to my new visitors who’ve found me from other blogs, Pinterest, and Instagram. I hope you all come back often! Lately …
Thanks for coming back to see my next project for ADORNit. I haven’t done a scrapbook page in ages, but this beautiful You & Me collection inspired me. Here’s my layout: I used my Silhouette CAMEO to sketch my journaling directly on the page and …
This week I’ll have three projects to share over on the ADORNit blog as a guest designer! And I’m hosting a giveaway for the You & Me collection (which I’ll be showing off on day #2). Here is my first ADORNit project, which uses the …
Have you tried the new Silhouette PixScan™ mat yet? Do you know what to do with it? I am really loving mine, so I want to share a few examples of what you can do with it. We’ve been using mine for school projects and …
Today I’d like to showcase these pocket tags by Kolette Hall and share an assembly tutorial. There are several variations of pocket tags by Kolette available in the Silhouette design store (numbers, alphabet, Halloween countdown, themed shapes, etc.), but assembly is basically the same for …
