Christmas decorations - Silhouette Cameo

Hello Friends,

Just popping in to show you some Christmas decorations I made for the children who came along to Abingdon Quaker Meeting on Sunday....

They were a joy to make, a little fiddly, but an absolute joy.  I didn't see the children hang them on the tree, but apparently each child had a moment of thought about someone they were missing this Christmas and mentioned them as they hung their star on the tree.  Of course, they were allowed to choose one each to go home with at the end of the Meeting - another JOY for me, as I watched them and their families choose which one would look nice on their own trees.

Wishing all my readers a very happy and peaceful Christmas and thank you for popping by from time to time.

Silhouette Cameo Lessons

Hi Friends,

I'm back today, with a card I've made after looking at this Clever Someday tutorial.  I have used the "text to path" feature lots of times but never using a dingbat font.   I downloaded the free font and used it to make this card for my DH for Christmas......

I hope you have some time to craft with your Silhouette Cameo soon!

Christmas tags - Silhouette Cameo

Hello Friends,

I'm back from a little break with my girlies!  We spent a few days in Strasbourg wondering around the Christmas markets.  Now that I'm back, I'm having to swing right into action with getting the final bits and pieces ready to pop in the post!

Last night I had some friends over for a "make a tag" party.  I cut out some tags using my Silhouette Cameo. The tags were all in two parts, the main part and a decorative part.  I cut two sets each out for us and put a few bits from my crafty stash, together with some tools in the middle of the table and left everyone to design their own, using just the stash on the table.

We did laugh and giggle, all evening, it did us all good!

Here are my tags.....

The tags shapes were bought from Silhouette America, Design ID #50938.

Must dash, the two envelopes in the top picture need to be posted today!

Happy crafting.

Split Letter Fonts - Silhouette Cameo

Hello again,

I'm back with my second post of the day!

I made this card for a couple who are entering into a Civil Partnership today......

....One of my Silhouette Studio pupils told me all about Split Lettering being "in" at the moment, so I thought I'd give it a go for this card.  It was quite fiddly to design, as this was a "Print and Cut" design.   I chopped the flourish in a few places to make it fit around the letters nicely.

I wish the couple every happiness.

Happy crafting everyone.

Silhouette Studio & Maja Designs - Vintage Summer Basics

Hello Friends,

I have missed a birthday, one of my friends had a birthday last week and I got so busy that I didn't get to post her card, I do hope that she will forgive me when she finally receives it.....

All the bits on this card were cut on my Silhouette Cameo, I find it so easy to plan my cards this way now, I hardly bother to cut and measure anything any more any other way!

The sentiment is from the Stampin' Up set called "Happiest Birthday Wishes", I use that stamp often, as it seems to be the perfect size for the cards I tend to make.

All the papers are from my 6 x 6 paper pad from Maja Designs called "Vintage Summer Basics".

I hope you like my card today, thanks for popping by.

Happy crafting.
