I am loving Silhouette’s tradition of creating a fun new advent calendar each year. Here is a link to last year’s advent calendar that I just adore and this year’s calendar is just fabulous!
It takes me back to my very first guest post on Tatertots & Jell-o back when I was a brand new blogger (and my photo skills were a little lacking.) Although this one was MUCH easier to create!
First you need to RUN and grab your LIMITED EDITION Silhouette Advent Calendar Kit. These babies sell-out quick, so don’t diddle-doddle.
The frame in the kit is white and I decided I wanted to paint mine red to match my holiday décor…
I busted out the ole’ Krylon Cherry Red and went to work transforming the frame from white to red. While the paint was drying, I started working on the cute little envelopes for the calendar. I decided to create a fun hybrid version of the calendar by using Rhonna Design’s new Merry Christmas Collection. This is a fun modern add-on to the Rhonna’s Christmas Junque kit from last year. I thought they would look fabulous on my advent calendar for this year.
Did you know that you can design something in the Silhouette Studio and print your design, then cut it out with either your CAMEO or your new Portrait? I will have a tutorial on how to do that sometime next week. It’s super easy. Just look how awesome they turn out…
Here’s another deal for you… Rhonna is having a fabulous Black Friday deal this week…
Sweeeeeet deal!! O.k., here's your to-do list…
On a side note… Rhonna is having a fun contest over at her site…
YOU can be the designer in the Merry Christmas Gift Tag Contest. The details will be on the blog today! I’m soooo excited… I am one of the judges!
Have you heard about the new kid on the crafting block? Silhouette has introduced their new cutting machine, The Silhouette Portrait… It’s small in size, small in price & BIG on features!
The Portrait has an 8 inch width cutting surface and can cut up to 10 feet in length. It still does everything else that a CAMEO can do, just with a smaller cutting width. Here’s a little video showing you what this little beauty can do…
Here is a holiday decor project that I created this weekend with the Portrait…
Check it out… the Portrait can handle BIG and small projects. This is a full size cream can that I used to made a festive Christmas sign out of red vinyl for my front porch. I created the image in the Silhouette Designer Edition software…
Once I had the wording just right I added a holly berry from Echo Park in the Silhouette image library and the image was perfect! Then I worked on my small project with the small star ornament…
Again, I just cut a simple “Joy” out of the gold vinyl from Silhouette and affixed it to this rustic wood ornament.
BIG and small… this fabulous new cutting machine is perfect for any job!
What I love most about the Portrait is it’s compact size. It fits into my craft hutch drawer and is so easy to pull out and connect to my computer. You wouldn’t be able to do that with a CAMEO, unless you have a really big drawer.
Soooo, have I tickled your creative mind? Would you love to add this Silhouette Portrait to your crafting arsenal? The best thing about this new deal is the small price!! It’s $199… a price that is a little easier on the whole crafting budget. Even better would be FREE!! Who would like to win one of these little babies?
Follow the instruction in the Rafflecopter box below for a chance to win a Silhouette Portrait just in time for the holidays!
Here are some other gals giving away a Silhouette Cameo or Portrait this week too:
Alright, the big game is almost here… We’re in the final stretch, and gearing up for a big finish! Christmas my friends!! It’s like our shopping Super Bowl. Who’s going to come up with the best gifts this year? The most thoughtful, the most creative… the one that the kiddos will still be interested in by Presidents Day. Kami from No Biggie has turned me onto the coolest gift for the kiddos ages 3-12. It’s the Chest R Desk!!
Here is a photo of Kami’s little guy taking the Chest R Desk for a test drive. This is the coolest little piece of children's furniture I’ve seen in a while. It is a storage unit, chair and a desk all in one. Plus you can decorate it to match your kiddos room. Here is a little video showing how it works…
How fun is that? Kami said that the Chest R Desk is made really well with hinges that close slowly, so you won’t have to worry about your kiddos banging down the top of the chest. It also has little cut out sections so you don’t have to worry about smashed fingers, so smart!
The Chest-R-Desk runs about $59.95 and will ship out towards the end of November, so get your orders in now! I think I need to order at least two. It’s a perfect little homework spot for Miss Em and my little guy Gage would LOVE to have a little spot all his own. He could store his coloring books and puzzles, it’s just perfect for him! I can’t wait for Christmas!!
What do you think? Do you have a little one who would LOVE to have their very own little spot? Is this something you would add to your Holiday list? You can find out more information about Chest-R-Desk on their website or visit their Facebook page for all the up to date news about this fun product!
