Wild Thing–I think I love you so….

I had a little play with the Silhouette Sketch Pens today and wanted to show you the results, this was my first play with them so I created the card from start to finish with the Silhouette Portrait.

I looked in the Silhouette Shop for a sketch image and found and thought that this one was pretty cool.

I love the shades, once my image was selected I sized it to what I wanted  and then though I needed some sort of sentiment and as I couldn’t get this song out of my head I used it to my advantage for the wording on the card, I found a font that worked well with the image and added it to the image sheet to sketched with it.

I used the offset function on the silhouette software to cut out around both the image and the wording and then used it once more on the wording to cut around it with black card.

The pens worked effortlessly to draw the image, I was very impressed, I took a video of it at work so that you could see it in action.

The image that I used had been specifically designed for use with the silhouette cutter, please make sure that any image you are planning to use in this way that the creator is alright for you to do this.

Difficult Card Orders

You know the drill, the customer is always right and they want something special and something specific to their needs.

My information was nothing fancy or flowery a Thank You card, something that will reflect the job they do, nothing in your face or girlie.

So here it is.

The customer….. my husband Chris, a Thank You card to the lads at the Fire Station, they put on a surprise leaving party for Chris on Saturday evening, they even laid on food, he got some fabulous gifts and I got yet another bouquet of flowers and it was humongous.

I couldn’t refuse the request from Chris now could I?

Gift Idea for Children–Place Setting

I had to find something for our Grandson Jack as his place setting and it had to be fun and something that he could relate to.

I found this Gift Bag template and thought “ that should do it very nicely thank you”.

I know I only needed one for Jack but as his Mam runs an area for slimming would and has gifts to give to team leaders the rest will come in very handy for her.

Super fun and easy to make on the Silhouette Portrait and I found the template on the silhouette site, it was one of Lori Whitlock’s templates.

Filled with a few treats and a mini transformer car for when Jack has finished his dinner makes it perfect to get him to tuck into his dinner just to get the prize and the end of it.

More Christmas Place Settings

So I needed another three place settings, I figured that these would be my next two.

Christmas Chapel Boxes from SVG Cuts  I wanted these to be dainty and pretty and I think that I have achieved that.

Pearls are from Mei Flower I think they have the best value for money in pearls and gems.

All of the trim came from my local haberdashery and the papers came from Stampin Up.

Now I need to find something fun for Jack as all of the adults are now sorted.

Bow Bells–Ding Dong Merrily on High

Today I’m sharing a card made with the Bow Bells Digi stamp from Just Inklined 

I used the Graph’It markers from Polka Doodles to colour this beauty.

Bells-: 1250, 3110, 0000

Bow-: 5210, 5220, 5245,

Pine Sprigs-: 8270,8260

I used German glass glitter on the cut out frame which was made on the Silhouette Portrait.

A few iridescent gems from Mei Flower and a bit of love to finish.

Have a Heart

I just love pretty things, as do most girls, little boxes and trinkets, there's nothing nicer than opening a pretty box and finding a special treat inside it.

It could contain a tasty treat or a piece of jewellery maybe filled to the brim with love hearts for Valentines day either way it will thrill who ever receives it.

How about an Easter basket? perfect to fill with small treats for children or maybe some paste eggs for a healthier treat.

This is going to be a 3D template CD that you reach for time and time again.

Baby Fairy Ladybug and Free Card Template

I know many of you will be packing your children off to university this year and it will be hard to let go of the apron strings, not only for you but also for them to leave home for the first time.

When I saw Baby Fairy Ladybug from Mo’s Digital Pencil I thought it would be fun to make a Ladybird card and then once I got the idea I soon realised it was like a Mother keeping her young safe, well that's what us Mum’s do best yes?

I made my own Ladybird template for the silhouette, it has a stand which attaches at the back and the wings are separate, I added a brad so that they would open and close for posting.

I coloured the gorgeous Baby Fairy Ladybug with Copic Markers.

I know you will probably want the template so I have it in three different files for you, just click on the name of the free file template you want and it will open for you to download.
