I know that Halloween is tomorrow, but I have one more project to share this year. If you’re looking for an extra special way to package treats for a handful of your favorite trick-or-treaters, this awesome 3D book design in the Silhouette Design Store works great for that. These books are the perfect size to […]
Tips & Tutorials
Glow in the Dark Vinyl Pumpkins
These no-carve pumpkins pack a wallop day or night…but this wasn’t the project I had originally envisioned. I was planning on just creating stencils with my CAMEO and spray-painting over them to create a glowing image. That kind of pumpkin felt a little played-out to me and I also wanted a way for my pumpkins […]
Custom Halloween Treat Bags
Print and cut is one of the best features that Silhouette offers, so I thought I’d highlight it in this week’s tutorial since so many beginners buy their CAMEOs or Portraits to do just this type of project. I’ll also be throwing in a bit of “Text-to-Path” and pattern play…so I hope you stick with […]

I bought this shadow box at a local craft store and started out by refinishing it in antique white with some acrylic paint. Use […]
Small Embellishment Organization
Could you use a few more ideas for organizing your craft room? I’ve tried many different ways of storing all of my tiny craft embellishments over the years, but I began to realize recently that whatever wasn’t visible wasn’t getting used. This is the system that I’ve found works for me, and hopefully you can […]
St. Patrick’s Day Burlap Art
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Today I wanted to share a quick and easy piece of framed art that you can make for this special little holiday or even leave up year-round. I’m not Irish, so I don’t decorate too much for St. Patrick’s Day, but I can’t resist putting a little something up and this […]
