Another Silhouette Project

This year I used my new Silhouette to make my son's back board for his science fair project.

I used the Wide Latin font from the computer. For the ice cube I just printed squares and inked the outside with ink and used the Martha Stewart dripping goo to make it look like the ice cubes are melting then applied stickles.

MIni Bottle Holder and a Variation

Today is my day to guest design for shesasassylady. Here is my post but if you have not checked her blog out, I really think you should check it out.

 I have a little secret for you today so please don't tell. I totally scraplifted this idea from workinscrappinmomof4 who got it from cabioscraftcorner but I thought I would share it with all of you here on Sassy's website. Okay know that I have given credit where credit is due I'll share my deign.

These would be great for any small bottles such as the large Stickles, Martha Stewart Glitter Glues, or mini ink pens you have in your crafting area and if you are giving someone one of those small of liquor bottles to someone special for Valentine's or any occcasion, this is the perfect size :).

Here's what you need for this project:

1-8" x 4 1/2 piece of cardstock and a

1-small oval punch

1- 1 3/4 x 1 1/4 pattern paper

2- 1 3/4 x 1 pattern paper

1- 4 1/2 x 1 1/4 pattern paper

1- piece or ribbon

Scoring Board

Scissors

Adhesive Tape

Adhesive

Corner Punch

and what ever you want to decorate the oval on front

(this projects is a great way to get rid of your scraps)

I chose not to use the circle and used an oval.

To start:

With the short edge across the top of the Scoring Board take the 8 x 4 1/2 inch paper and score at 1/4, 1 1/2, 3 and 4 1/4 inch.

Next:

Turn the paper 90 degrees and so the long end is at the top and score at 2 inch and 3 1/4 inch.

Then:

When all score lines are made you will cut away all the shaded areas.

It will look like this when you finish.

Now:

Take the corner punch and round the left and right corners of the long strip on the cardstock paper.

Now:

Cut slits in sides to look like this.

Then:

Take the 3 small pieces of paper and glue them to the front of the holder.

See Below:

**NOTE** If using pattern paper apply paper upside down.

(Learned that the hard way)

Next:

Turn the cardstock paper over and glue the long piece of pattern paper to the cardstock

See Below:

Thet Nest Step is:

Apply your adhesive tape to the edges as shown below.

Lastly:

Once you have applied adhesive tape  to the edges you can fold the pieces to put the holder together so that the pattern paper is on the outside.

And here is the completed holder.

Then you can decorate anyway you would like.

And here is a variation of the holder.

I put candy inside and folded down the top and made it into a treat holder, perfect for Valentine's Day.

I hope you enjoyed my post and will take the time to make some for yourself.

My First Silhouette Cameo Project

Okay so here it is my first real project.

Can you guess what it is?

It's a Chapstick Stick card!! I got it from the Silhouette Store. I figured this will be great for a little Valentine's gift for someone. You could stamp a sentiment or write a message on the inside.

Hope you like it and I will me back tomorrow with a Cricut project.

My New Toy

So I am back to show my new toy I had my husband buy mr as an early Valentine's present.

Here it is........

Yep, it's a Silhouette Cameo and I LOVE IT. Don't get me wrong I still love my cricut and will still use it a lot because I love it and have spent way too much money on it not to use it.
I really like the Cameo although there is a some getting use to, like the noise it makes when it cuts. It sounds like it's dying or something. It also cuts very nice.
I mostly got it because of the reviews I read plus I love the idea of the Silhouette Studio store ( I have actually spent hours looking through it and every week they give away a free design and have 50 cents clearance weekly) and just buying what I need. I have already used my $10 gift card that came with it and I got 100 free designs with the machine.

So here is the first thing that I made. I think this is the first thing most people make when the get it.

 It's one of the free designs that comes with it, it's called the control panel. I used the heart paper for Valentine's Day and will change it for any holiday.

Check back tomorrow, I will be posting a project that will make you want to get a Silhouette.

Please let me know if you have any questions about it.

Got a SmashBook

Hey everyone. I just bought a pink Smashbook and have a question for everyone who has one. I am really excited to start but I'm also a little intimidated in starting it because I'm not sure what to put in it, I want it to be good but I'm not sure want to put in it. So my question is, what type of stuff do you put in yours?

Thanks if you can help/

Also please come back tomorrow or Wednesday (science fair time and trying to finish it up) because I have a new toy to share.

Have a good day!!
