Silhouette Cameo - Tall Box

Hello crafty friends,

I've had a bit of fun this morning.  The lady who runs the Silhouette Cameo UK Facebook page asked if anyone needed help with anything they needed to make.  One lady asked about wine glass boxes, which got me thinking!  There didn't seem to be anything suitable in the Silhouette store, so I set about trying to extend a box that I already had!

I own this box

It comes into the Silhouette Studio software looking like this.....

I made it a little bigger and extended the length of the sides and score lines.  I put in an oval to make the aperture and took out the fiddly decorative bits on front closure part.  I also made a file for the base of the box to hold a small glass.  

Here is a picture of the finished box with a small wine glass inside....

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

Happy birthday Gail!

I'm posting another birthday card for another friend!  As I type this, I really am counting my blessings, I have so many wonderful friends!

I've used the welding tool in the Silhouette Studio software and the pen holder again ;)!

I hope you like this simple welded card, welding has to be one of my favourite tools in the Silhouette Studio software!

Hope you have some time to craft with your Silhouette machine today.

Silhouette Cameo - Birthday card - Welding

Hello crafty friends,

I'm back today with another card for a different friend, who actually celebrated her birthday last month.  With so many things happening around here, beyond my control, I didn't actually manage to make it in time - whoops, but as it was a special birthday, I couldn't let it slip.  I thought "better late, than never"!

I made this card using the "welding" tool in the Silhouette Studio software, along with a pen tool holder for the writing and dashes around the aperture.

Hope you like the card!

Happy crafting with your Silhouette machine.

Silhouette Cameo & Darkroom Door - Whimsical Words

Hello crafty friends,

One of my crafty friends is celebrating her birthday today, she's a really great card maker, which makes me nervous when I'm making her a card!

I knew I wanted to use the bird from a Darkroom Door stamp set I have and of course, my Silhouette Cameo!

I Googled "birthday cards, Silhouette Cameo", looking for inspiration and saw lots of my own cards! I really liked this one I made, so went with that for my plan......

This is the Darkroom Door stamp set, I wanted to use....

......and here is the card I finally made!

I hope you like the card, you may well want to know why it has "sister" on the front, well my friend is an only child and wishes she had a sister, one just like me, how nice is that?  

I had a great time making this card, in fact I have a few more to share, all very similar, so watch this space! 

Happy crafting with your Silhouette machine.

Silhouette Mint - the best stamp ever!

Hello crafty friends,

This really does have to be the best stamp ever!

It'll certainly help with my Christmas cards this year and next!

It's our own handwriting, no one would ever know (except if they see this of course)!

I'm just loving' it all - my iPad, my Mac & my Silhouette Mint!

If you only had one eh?

Happy crafting with your Silhouette machines.
