Silhouette Portrait GIVEAWAY // I have so many treats in this post, I don't even know where to start!! Well, here are the three major components…

1. I'm giving away a Silhouette Portrait!!!

2. I have an amazing deal on your choice of either a Silhouette CAMEO, Silhouette Portrait, both with the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition OR a smokin' deal on the software alone.

3. A video tutorial on how to convert a PNG file to a cutable image with your Silhouette Studio Designer Edition Software.

All three of those things are pretty awesome in my book! Let's start with the tutorial and work our way up the list…

Silhouette Studio Designer Edition Video Tutorial

I have been wanting to create this video for you guys since DECEMBER! Man-o-Man does time fly. We're knocking on the door of good ole' Saint Patricks Day and I'm finally getting around to it. Remember my post around Christmas time about my Winter White Wreath along with the cute Rudolph Silhouette sign? Let me refresh your memory…

I actually converted that image from a PNG file from Rhonna Designs that looks like this…

They look pretty different, right? Now, I know we aren't looking to recreate Rudolph right now, but this is actually a good image to show you what the software is capable of. You can select any PNG and the same techniques will apply. Here's a video on how to convert a PNG file into an image that you can use with your Silhouette products.

How cool is that? I'm totally digging this video tutorial stuff. I think I am going to work on more of those for you guys.

Valentine Vignette with DecoArt // Giveaway

0 · Feb 3, 2013 · 102 Comments

DecoArt Giveaway // Who's ready for another giveaway? This one completes the trifecta… The fun started on Friday with our ULTIMATE Getaway Giveaway, then on Saturday we had a fun weekend Silhouette Portrait Giveaway and now it's time to bulk up your paint supplies for Valentine's Day with DecoArt! But before we get to the giveaway, I want to share with you my Valentine Vignette that I created with some DecoArt paint that I just LOVE!!

I, of course started the vignette with my Winter White Wreath that I will be transforming throughout the year. For Valentine's Day, I just added a simple felt heart in the center of the wreath and left it at that, because I wanted my paint projects to be the stars of the show this time. The two colors I decided to use this time were the DecoArt Americana, Red Alert and the Metallics Champagne Gold. I started with a piece of Birch wood that I scavenged out of my neighbors trash. Shhhhh, it's not weird at all!! I carved an iconic heart into the wood and then highlighted the carving with the two paint colors and then painted the top of the stump and added some stripes.

I just adore the rustic, yet elegant simplicity of this element. Next, I created a sign using some design elements from Rhonna Designs Insta Kiss digital kit that may be one of my favorite signs to date…

I actually have a separate tutorial for how I made this sign coming up soon and I have an extra special, top secret technique that I used to make the letters really stand out, so stay tuned! I also used the Red Alert paint to dress up this decorative frame that I found at Hobby Lobby and added a bit gray chevron fabric to tie everything together.

I tossed in a few found objects that I just love, my Westinghouse fan that I purchased at a garage sale for $2 and my Anthropologie beach radio that was NOT $2 but I love it non the less. All in all, I thought the whole vignette turned out lovely, thanks to DecoArt!

So… who's ready for some DecoArt fun of their own for Valentine's Day? I have a fun little gift box up for grabs… All you have to do is follow the directions on the Rafflecopter box below and you may just be in luck!

Silhouette Portrait Giveaway, Discount Code and the NEW Double Sided Adhesive

0 · Feb 2, 2013 · 10 Comments

Silhouette Portrait GIVEAWAY, Discount Code and Glitter Art with Double Sided Adhesive // That's a mouth full!! So much stuff going on this week. It's started yesterday, with our Ultimate Valentine's Day Getaway Giveaway and now I have a rare Saturday post with the ever popular Silhouette GIVEAWAY!!

But, before we get to the giveaway… I'm and super excited to show off one of the new products that Silhouette announced at CHA last month. Their Double Sided Adhesive and the new Silhouette Glitter, perfect for creating stunning glitter art…

I created this wall art for Valentine's Day by cutting out an image from Rhonna Designs Insta Kiss kit in the new Double Sided Adhesive using the Silhouette Designer Edition software. The double sided adhesive is perfect for all kinds of applications that involve glitter or flocking and certainly makes the whole process of working with glitter sooooooo much easier! I cut the image and weeded out the excess material…

Then I decided to use transfer tape to make sure the image stayed in tact. When cutting a more simple design, you really don't need to use the transfer tape.

Next, I removed the transfer tape and the white layer of the adhesive and got ready for the fun part, the glitter…

Now who doesn't love GLITTER? Well, maybe my husband. He hates it!! But you know, the Double Sided Adhesive actually makes it really easy to work with…

All you need to do is pour the glitter onto to the adhesive…

Brush it away with the brush that is included in the Double Sided Adhesive starter kit and voila you're done!! No messy glue, and your image is perfect and crisp.

I framed my "Heart and Soul" in a trendy frame from Hobby Lobby and I LOVE it!! Want to give it a go? You know you want to! Silhouette has a great deal for you whether you have a Portrait, CAMEO already or if you don't… Silhouette has a special deal for that as well.

If you're feeling lucky… You can enter to win a Portrait!!
