Silhouette Studio lessons on a Mac.

Hello Friends,

I'm back with a card I've made for a friend.  I missed her birthday recently....whoops!

I had great fun again, designing this card in Silhouette Studio.  I've been designing some of my cards on my Windows laptop and some on my MacBook Air, trying to see which I prefer.

Here is a screen shot of the card, once it was designed and before I separated it all to cut and draw it, on my Silhouette Cameo.

I've definitely decided I like my Mac best.  My mate Peg, has a Mac and today we realised that we could screen share with each other, helping each other out.  I can help her with Silhouette and she can help me out on my Mac.....win win!

This is why I had so much fun designing the card - Peg was watching me, so really, we made it together!

This of course, has opened up a whole new idea, I could now perhaps, do remote training on the Silhouette software, for ladies wanting to gain confidence using the Silhouette software on their Mac's!

Not sure how this would work, but it's definitely worth a thought.  Ladies currently travel quite some way for me to train them on their Windows pc's, so for ladies who have Mac's I could, in theory, train anyone from anywhere!

My contact details are over in my sidebar, if you are interested, let me know ;)!

Happy crafting with your Silhouette.

New Home card - Silhouette Cameo

Hello Friends,

Apologies for the huge gap between posts, it's been a busy time here and this is the first card I've made in about 5 weeks!

Sometimes other stuff has to come first, although, I have to say, it's nice to be back crafting :)!

I've made this card for some of our friends who have just moved home.....

It was easily made using the Silhouette Studio software, my Silhouette Cameo, some pretty paper and a couple of pens!

I also highlighted some of the bits with one of my Wink of Stella sparkle pens.

I've got so many cards to catch up on, so bye for now, have a great weekend.

Hope you get some time to craft with your Silhouette soon.

Silhouette Halloween Treat holder with Silhouette Rhinestones

Hello Friends,

This is the last leg of my Silhouette UK Design Team, Rhinestone marathon.

For this last leg, I'm sharing a Halloween Treat holder, one that I purchased from the Silhouette Design store, which I "blinged" up ;)!

This first photograph shows the actual file that I downloaded from the store....

...and this second image is a picture of the reverse side of the treat holder, the one I decided to "bling"!

The files and products you'd need to make this little treat holder are:

Pumpkin Box
Boo
Bat

Rhinestones and associated supplies.

I hope you've all enjoyed my Silhouette Rhinestone projects.

I'm sure there will be more.....

Today I start a brand new On-line Card Class, it's all about different water colour mediums.....you might want to check back to see if I can manage any of my homework!

Thanks for popping by today and thanks for following along with all my DT projects, designed and made for Silhouette UK.

Silhouette Pillow Box Treat pouch & Silhouette Rhinestones

Hello Friends,

Today there are only three little Silhouette Rhinestones on my project.....

I thought the three little Rhinestones finished off this project nicely.  For the pouch, I adapted a file I had purchased from the Silhouette Design store.

To give you an idea of how big this little pouch is, there are two of those chocolate mints in that little cellophane bag, you know the ones, you have to eat them after 20:00 hrs!

Just a quick post today, I've got so much tidying up to do!

Happy Silhouetting.

Silhouette Rhinestone birthday card

Hello Friends,

My "little one" is 26 today!  Here is a picture of the card I've sent her.......

I've used Silhouette Rhinestones again ;)!  Rather than fill each of the the Rhinestone holes, I made for the frame, with actual Rhinestones, I filled them with glitter!  Very quick and easy, also a great idea when you are running out of your favourite colours of Rhinestones, or you are running out of time to sit and set your Rhinestones ;)!

The card was quick and easy to make and even though it is a card using Silhouette Rhinestones, I'm not counting this card as part of my Rhinestone marathon!

Hope you get some time to play with your Silhouette machine today.
