Cat and Dog Window Cards Silhouette Files

I designed these cards for Cats and Dog lovers everywhere and the free cutting files are available from here








I think the cat is looking out for Santa while the dog is looking in looking for the cat

Old frames, cardboard boxes, recycled with decoupage

fancied a change from usual crafts so thought I`d give decoupage a go

I took some old frames and cardboard boxes
PVA glue
and some free backing papers from magazines


I tore the backing paper up into small pieces


Then coated the frame a little at a time with PVA glue


After all frame was covered , I applied a thin layer of PVA glue



I think they came out very well and as all the items were free, very cost effective

This is my first attempt at a tri-fold card, I`ve enjoyed making it but as alot of my cards are to go through the post this year, this one will be too thick...back to the drawing board I think

Hi Everyone

Just a post to update you on what's happening

I`ve started up a website

www.christmascraft.co

The website is live, although at the moment there's not too much to see, I will be putting more content on as I go

today I have put on

https://www.christmascraft.co/Cake_Pops.html

And there`ll be lots more to see, its enabled me to put my free silhouette files in one place and for people to make there own low cost crafts there's templates, photos and instruction. Please feel free to use what you want and if you could link me to your pages that would be great as I have a bit of a competition on with the Other Half I`d get  50,000 hits by Christmas. I`m determined lol

Silhouette and Iron On Vinyl Tshirts and Vests

One of the the many things I love about the Silhouette SD cameo cutting machine is its versatility

I love the fact you can go out to the shops and see things , come home and design some myself

I started by purchasing some plain cheap vests and shirts and some iron on vinyl in a variety of colours

Using my Silhouette SD , I put some words onto the screen and cut them out

I then ironed them onto the vests

I think they came up pretty good and my DD is thrilled to be gifted them


This ones my favourite



I continued on and decided to make a wordle for my son


Its a free software to use as you please, check it out

By placing random words into this great piece of software it gives you a design which you can manipulate and add to , this was my first attempt for my Walking Dead fan son



And this is what I call him



Very professional I think

and last but not least heres one for my cousin who likes a BBQ
