Exciting Stuff!!

Hi crafty friends!!

   Boy am I excited to tell you what I learned over the weekend! I was asked to see if there was a way that we could use OUR OWN stamps in the Silhouette Studio. Well with a lil work here and a lil work there, I figured it out! Watch the video below to find out how!!

   This is the best thing ever! So dust off all your stamps and get ready to import them in the software! YAY YAY YAY

Turn this........

Into this.....



How awesome is this! Now you can imput your own images and have the silhouette studio do all the coloring for you! I am so excited, that I want to go buy some more images like this one. I don't own to many. Maybe 3! Off to go do some shopping!

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and card!

Please leave a comment with any tutorial requst!

Baby Onesie

Hi Crafty friends!

    Happy weekend! Well I know it's not really the weekend YET! but, by friday I consider it my weekend. =)

    I had a friend ask me to make her some onesies for her niece a couple of weeks ago. I finally had time to spruce up some Gerber onesies. Here is what I created.

I created the SC svg file for this one.

This file is from the Silhouette Store
found Here AND HERE for glasses



Thanks so much for stopping by today. I have some videos I am editing for you. I hope to have one up this Saturday! Have an amazing weekend!

Happy B-day to you!

Hello my crafty friends!

  How's it going? I am freezing my fingers off over here in not so sunny CA! We just had out winter storm over the weekend but the cold chilly weather is in full effect!

   I made a birthday card for a dear friend of mine. I wanted to incorporate a swirly dress form at first, but the design kept tearing on me because it was way to thin. So I went searching in the Silhouette Store and found these images. All the images used on the card come from the silhoette store.

   I love how easily you can have any file you want at your finger tips!

Enjoy!

Don't forget there is still time to enter Cameo Creations Challenge! Check out the amazing cards my super talented design team made.

I hope you enjoy it!

I used the print and cut option! I love it! made this card in about 5 min! I love this machine!

I made some luminaries for my bar area at home. I am going to have people over for a small St. Patty's Day celebration, and these babies will illuminate my lil area.
The file is from the silhouette online store HERE

These were super easy to make, all I did was measure a candle holder and printed out the phrases on vellum and adhered it to the glass. It's looks beautiful lit up!
