This week’s free shape is a perfect one for some quick DIY art. Here I took a store-bought primed canvas and turned it into a bright and cheery home decor piece with a little acrylic paint, vinyl, and my CAMEO. Start by selecting your background color palette. I wanted my colors to look like a sunset I’d recently […]
Custom Handwriting Stamps
I was looking for a way to make my cards just a little more personal…and with handwritten sentiments being so big, I thought I’d try to make my own handwriting stamps. Now, I am in no way deluding myself into thinking that my lettering can compare to some of the beautiful designs I’ve seen lately…but […]
Nautical Signal Flag Love Tiles
My projects are normally inspired by a specific gift I need to give or wall I need to decorate…but this one came about after accidentally finding this set of signal flag designs in the online store while trying to locate a nautical background for a card. I just loved the idea of spelling out a word […]
Faux Watercolor Get Well Card
Sorry for the extended absence…I was away for a bit on vacation! When I got back this week I needed a quick get well card (when do you ever have a lot of time to make get well cards?), so I pulled out one of the floral watercolor stamp sets I had purchased from Rubbernecker […]
Vintage Wooden Amusement Signs
I have loved how a lot of the free shapes of the week lately have actually been a group of designs that you can use together or can just pull one or two helpful ones out to complete a project you’ve been planning for a long time. Recently, my husband and I finished a portion […]
Nugget Pocket Shirt
This week, I decided to switch gears. I don’t normally do apparel projects with my Silhouette, but it was my nephew’s birthday and I couldn’t find any good shirts for him when I was out shopping. In fact, I couldn’t even find a plain t-shirt…all of them were pocket tees. So, I was wandering around […]
Father’s Day Box Card
I have been loving all of the different box card designs that have been coming out lately, so I decided to make one for my Dad this year for Father’s Day. He is an avid outdoorsman, so thisfishing box card was perfect for him. Box cards can be tricky to assemble if you’ve never done […]
Heat Transfer Garden Markers
The consistently warm weather has finally settled into my neck of the woods, so I’ve been spending the last several weeks prepping and planting my vegetable garden and hoping for a good growing season. I always plant a couple of varieties of just a handful of different vegetable plants (mostly tomatoes, peppers, squash, and cucumbers with a […]
