Another one of my Silhouette Templates made up, a Door Hanger.
I intended to tie a knotted rope through the holes to hang it from the door but in hindsight I think a bit of bluetac is a better option and of course that means no unsightly holes in a door.
I think this one is kind of cute don’t you?
So I started to go stir crazy sitting at home so I decided to start making my own Cutting Templates for the Silhouette, I started with the Hexagon Box shown below and then moved on to some Flowers and Characters.
I have loads stored up, I need to start making them up now.
Loads of fun working them out and getting the measurements correct.
I always think that a hexagon box looks quite vintage.
I think the chrysanthemum finishes it off quite nicely.
I never see that many Easter decorations around unless it is an Easter Bonnet or an Easter Tree so I jumped at the chance to make a wreath and a cute one at that.
All cut using my Silhouette Portrait, love this machine. I love the Designer software too, I can play (yes play) for hours with it.
This template is available in the Silhouette store and is another by Jamie Moore Cripps, you really must look up her designs.
Now fill up those little eggs with a little chocolate surprise and it would make a brilliant adult Easter Gift don’t you think?
Another little Potted plant to cheer up a cold day.
I’ll have mine with clotted cream thank you.
These a so fun to make, even the terracotta pot is made from card.
A closer look at the plant.
As you can see I dotted the strawberry’s with a white pen for the little pips.
The template is from Jamie Moore Cripps on the Silhouette store.
I bought this wicker heart in the sale at Sainsbury’s and new that I would be able to spruce it up using my Silhouette cutter.
A little bit here
and a little bit there
then turn this.
to this, pretty huh?
More with the Silhouette cutter today.
These little Belly Boxes are so fun and so easy to make up and would be just perfect for Easter treats.
Little Lambkins
Billy Bull
The cow/bull is in the Silhouette store just search Belly Box and you’ll find him and more.
It was 6 years ago that I first used this origami folder flower and yet it is still one that gives the wow factor today.
I used the Topsi Turvy card stock from Create and Craft and also the Rainbow Cardstock for the flowers.
Isn't it pretty? I used a snowflake die by Memory Box and a sheet of the mirror card in gold to further embellish the box.
And I even found the original link that I used to make the flowers.

Some fun makes from The card stock shows at Create and Craft.
Building blocks box by Jamie Cripps at the Silhouette online store or should I say Lego box.

I had time to play today and play I did, I painted, glittered, used my Copic markers, glued, stamped and used metal leaf and just had loads of fun.
These are beautifully designed and constructed from quality Chipboard which has been laser cut for perfection.
Assembly was loads of fun, my youngest daughter Natalie and her partner Adam came around for a cuppa and fell in love with these models.
Watching each bit of this build up is brilliant, so much so that I forgot to eat at lunch time.
This is just one of the amazing designs, may more here I bet you spot someone that you know.
I have managed to get my hands on some Square Headz whoop whoop, these would make the perfect gifts for teens and fun gifts for those fun loving adults too.
However, I am keeping mine all to myself, I intend sprucing up these babies all for me.
Look I have a family of them.
I think this one is Papa Square Headz and will be coloured and decorated as Chris, shhhh don't tell him.
And of course you couldn’t have Papa without a Mamma Square Headz so this one will be decorated as the wild side of me. I’m going in but will post them as soon as they are assembled and decorated.

They say that feathers are symbolic to a loved one that has passed away being around you, I believe it has to be a white fluffy one, I don’t know how true that is but there is certainly something heavenly about them.
The feather that I have used today was a free cut file from Silhouette, when I got it I wasn’t really to sure what I was going to do with it, I just know that I loved it.
I decided to cut it out in varying sizes and then sprayed them with vintage sprays, I then layed them to one side until inspiration came, adding things I liked, a bit of spiders web lace a button and a bow, a flourish and a border, I played with layering them up until I was happy with the look.
