Limited Edition Silhouette Advent Calendar

1 · Nov 20, 2012 · 3 Comments

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…

Head over to the Silhouette site and order your Limited Edition Advent Calendar Kit before supplies sell out!
Take advantage of Rhonna’s Black Friday deals and stock-up on all your favorite Rhonna Design’s favorites!
Come back next week for a fabulous tutorial on how to use your image files to create a print and cut advent calendar.

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!

Win the New Silhouette Portrait // Giveaway

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?

Halloween Silhouette CAMEO Giveaway

BOO!! Have you missed me? I sure have missed you guys. Life’s been a little weird lately (more on that later,) but I’m BACK!! Not only am I back, but I’m back with everyone’s favorite CAMEO GIVEAWAY!!!

This is a prize valued at $351.95… Not bad!! This is perfect timing as well, we are in prime crafting season with the fall upon us. Here is what I made yesterday with my CAMEO…

I have always wanted a “Something wicked this way comes…” sign and this year I had the perfect set-up.

It was so easy to make. I used a chalkboard that I purchased at Décor Steals, but I’m sure you can find a fun surface that would work great with your décor. Then I used the Silhouette Design Studio to make the sign…

I used a couple of different fonts, The King & Queen Font and Ostrich Sans Black. I started designing away and added a couple of design elements from the fabulous Silhouette Design Library. I placed everything the way I wanted it and then made sure to use the Weld tool to weld everything together that overlapped. It turned out lovely, and it was sooooo easy to make!

Silhouette CAMEO September Promotion

0 · Sep 19, 2012 · 2 Comments

It’s everyone’s favorite time of the month… Silhouette Promo time!!

Not only does this month have a KILLER deal… it has an aaaamazing new product that I have fallen head over heels in love with!! It is Gold an Silver Printable Foil along with a White Printable Sticker Paper!! How COOL is that!

I raided my local Target’s Halloween section and found some fun platters and other little odds and ends and made a fun Halloween door or wall hanging with some of the silver printable foil…

I found the coolest printable images in the Silhouette Online Store for the top and bottom graphics and then designed one of my own using Rhonna Designs Spooky Junque kit for the middle graphic.

I just LOVE it!! The Printable foil is my new favorite toy with my silhouette, you can do so much with it. All you have to do is find or create a print that you just love, print it on your printer with the registration marks which then allows the Silhouette Laser to detect the image and then cut it out on the CAMEO. Is your creative brain working in over drive right now? Think of all the things you could do… Labels for all your jars, beautiful artwork for your mantle, your Christmas gifts are going to be out of the world this year!!

I topped my creation off with a ribbon and tulle bow embellished with a Styled by Tori Spelling Silver Glitz Pendant and some great skeleton hands from Target.

Now it’s your turn… RUN on over to Silhouette by clicking RIGHT HERE to receive the fabulous deal on the CAMEO and the great new printable foils and sticker paper for $269.99 or just the papers for $19.99 and get your CRAFT ON!!
