I have a Valentine party coming up that I’m hosting for some friends and their darling kiddos. It is so fun to get together and see the things kids create and talk about while crafting. It’s one of my very favorite things. I’ll be posting some of the fun activities we’ll be doing at the
When my boys were born I was obsessed with taking pictures of them, as I’m sure all new moms are. It was much easier back then when they couldn’t run away from me. It’s a whole new ball game now. ha ha. Anyway, my husband would always roll his eyes when he would come home
I wanted to add a personal touch from my boys on their grandparents gifts this year. I decided to go with handprint crafts on the gift wrap. Projects like this make me love my Silhouette even more. Rather than tracing and cutting out handprints for wreaths on several gifts, I just traced their hands in
I have some fun Halloween party designs new in the Silhouette online store that I’ll be showing on my blog next week, but today I had to show you my adorable little fox and hound from Halloween last year. Aren’t they just the cutest! I struggled finding a fox and a hound costume that went
To finish off the week with the ABC flashcards, I have a tutorial for you on how to make them into coloring pages. I printed mine 4 to a page and bound them using The Cinch. Continue reading for a tutorial on how to turn the print and cut flashcards into coloring pages.
My aunt gave me a picnic table this summer that needed a little TLC. With some new boards, a little welding, and some paint, it was as good as new. I think this table would be so cute with the Barbecue Party. I can’t wait to use it for other parties.
I was able to try out some of Silhouette’s Heat Transfer products over the weekend. As with all their products I’ve used so far, it’s great quality and so easy to use. I embellished this little canvas tote using the White Flocked Heat Transfer material and my new flower bouquet die cut.
The Silhouette Fabric Bundle Promotion ends tomorrow. I thought I’d share a few simple projects using fabric scraps with the Silhouette Fabric Interfacing. The interfacing is easy to use and cuts perfectly with the Silhouette. I also cut some of my shapes free hand. You can iron your fabric shapes onto both fabric and paper.
Last week I shared a tutorial for making piñatas using my 3D pentagon die cut. I mentioned a larger one could be made using individual pentagons like the one here. Today I am going to show you how to create a piñata of any size using simple geometric shapes.
Silhouette has a promotion on their fabric interfacing that starts today. (Yep, I have a promotion code for you at the end of this post.) It was the inspiration for making this classic fish pond game. I had my doubts about how well the machine really could cut fabric and the quality of the interfacing.
I made a few more 3D geometric shapes to go along with the Geometric Baby Shower. They are available in the Silhouette store this week. I used glue and covered them in glitter to give them sparkle. It was a quick and easy project with dazzling results. These would look great strung together and hung
I have a fun tutorial for you today using Silhouette Chipboard that is part of their current promotion. Nothing says party quite like a piñata. Whether it’s a big piñata for all the guests to break together, or small piñatas for party favors. Your guests will love to discover the surprises hiding in these little
Here’s a great way to teach your children to set the table, and bonus, you can write little notes to them in the morning. Wipe clean with a damp cloth, and they’re ready to use again. Using this upholstery vinyl placemat tutorial, FREE place setting download and a dry erase marker, you’ll have this project whipped up in minutes.
I was so happy to discover that premium vinyl can double as a dry erase board. I made a few projects to show you a number of ways it can be used.
I’m so anxious to share some fun projects I have been working on using Silhouette Premium Vinyl. Silhouette has a great promotion for their Premium Vinyl going on this week and I have all the details and a promotional discount code for you. Each day during the promotion I’ll be featuring a new project using
