Gift Bag - Cold outside - Silhouette SD


One of my favorite things about the Silhouette SD is the templates for all the cute gift boxes and bags! For this project I wanted to create something using only stuff I could cut out with the silhouette. No other decorations. The following is what I came up with! the entire thing was cut out with my silhouette. From the box itself all the way down to the little letters. I will NEVER AGAIN hand cut out a single letter! That to me is worth everything!  It holds a single envelope of hot chocolate, some hershey's kisses, and a little baggie of mini marshmallows! A perfect gift for these chilly months! Isn't it cute!


until my next project! .....

3D Chandelier - Silhouette SD

My Christmas present arrived today!! I got a new Silhouette SD! My kids are just excited as I am, lol. We have big plans for lots of vinyl on the walls throught the house. It also does templates for glass etchings, iron ons, rhinestones, tattoos, and lots of other really cool stuff!





 I have been playing all day and wanted to show my first project useing my new Silhouette. I made a 3D chandelier to go in my new craft studio!  Chandeliers make me happy, yet I can't stand how much they cost! So I made one of my own! Check it out!


I cut out four copies of  Chandelier_0850 , then folded them in half and glued them together. I then stuck on pretty jewels and Whalah! a pretty chandelier that only cost me four sheets of cardstock!!







I want to make several more in different colors to hang all over my craft studio :) Stay tuned for my next creation, more than likely it will involved my new Silhouette once again! Love it!
