Holly Christmas Wreath

Hi Guys,

I hope you're all well!

Not long now till the big guy in the red suit arrives lol and I hope you're on his good list lol!

I've been creating up a storm with my Silhouette and this is one of the creations I made!
I purchased a file from the Silhouette Design Store, 3D Holiday Wreath by Jamie Cripps!

Here's my wreath...

The funny this is, I really dislike wreaths but I was taken with this design so I thought, 'Why not'! LOL!!!

Very simple to put together and of course I had to add bells lol and a few red gems for a little bling!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Witch And Her...

Hi Guys,

Well, it's been awhile but I do hope you've all been keeping well!

I just love my Silhouette Cameo and she gets a good work out lol and it has taken me a long time to master the art of print and cut lol!

I love all the print and cut files in the Silhouette store and have a nice little collection.  I was browsing my library and came across a few files I wanted to work with but they were cut files so with the aid of YouTube(just gotta love YouTube lol)I easily turned my cut files into a Print and Cut, simple as lol!

I don't do Halloween but I've had these files so I though I'll use them, so I made a couple of A4 signs, so easy, just pick your file, add the colour, turn line colour off and then select no cut and presto...

So here's my Halloween signs...

 

 

 

Well my little monsters aren't so little anymore lol!

The black webs and the black witch are cut out using black glitter cardstock and the little witch is popped up in the frame using some 3D foam!

Files Used:
~A Witch Phrase
~Witch
~Spider Web

What I love is that you can resize all the images and sentiments to suit your needs!

So the next thing I would like to try to master is Vinyl, now that's scary roflol!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Till next time, Take care and Keep Smiling,

LOVE the colours and loving the bed ware, gorgeous!

I made a tag and took the butterfly and colours from the photo for inspiration, so here's my tag:

Once again I've used my Silhouette.  I purchased the designs/files/shapes from the Silhouette on-line store and I finished my tag using some Black ribbon, Silver cord, a Silver butterfly charm and the most gorgeous Icicle Sprinkles from AnnaBelle Stamps!

I made this envelope pouch/bag using my Silhouette Cameo and using THIS file from the Silhouette store using Kraft Cardstock and the yummy XO collection from Kaisercraft(papers and collectables)and some Fairy Floss blooms also by Kaisercraft, some Black ribbon and to finish off I used some KC rhinestones in Blue Grey(it looks like a very soft mint colour too me lol)but doesn't show well in the picture!

I used my Stampin' Up 'French Flair' background stamp and stamped the image in Versamark!

Here's a close up of my front panel:

Silhouette Cameo Projects!

Hi Guys,

I hope you're all well!

Just before Easter I got out my baby(Silhouette)lol and gave her a good work out and here are the projects I made!

I purchased all the files from the Silhouette Online store!

I made some more Box Card from Lori Whitlock's files. 
A Get Well one that went to a friend that broke her arm and had to have surgery, A New Home one, just need to add a sentiment and an Easter Bunny one that went to my son's teacher with some eggs lol!

All papers came from my stash that I've had for ever, my oldest son is computer and gadget savvy, even he had a play and worked out things I didn't even know the Sil could do lol!

The next lot are cards and some rolled flowers:
I fell in love with these cute bunny cards and run them through my BigShot with a Swiss dots embossing folder and glued some small White pom poms on the bunny's for their tails and a punch tag finishes the cards, they took me a 1/2 in total from beginning to end lol! 
The tulip card was easy to assemble and the person that I gave it to loved it lol and I cut some rolled roses in two different shades of Pink and resized them to suit my needs and I will add some White pearls in the flowers centers when I need them!

and the last thing I have to show you is some Double Impatients flowers and I sprayed some Pearl glimmer mist on them for a little bit of sparkle/shine and placed some White pearls in the centre!

I love getting out my Silhouette and giving her a work out, just might have to pull her out over the weekend lol!

Thanks so much for stopping by and wishing all the Mum's a lovely Mother's Day for Sunday!
