Silhouette SD Reindeer Food


One of the girls over on MSE was talking about Reindeer Food and what to use. As I`m about to sell my Big Shot and all the dies I have , I thought to myself I wont have my die for the box anymore . So i made a file on my Silhouette Sd its a box with little reindeers from free clipart and a window cut out of it.

And "reindeer food cut out on red card" I used acetate to fix this to my box.
As soon as file swap is back on line I will share this with you as its my design and you get two boxes from each piece od A4 card.

Hope you like it.

Ladies Card

Today I made this card for a lovely lady over on the Silhouette Plus forum, we`re having a card swop and basically, you join a list and send a card to the person in front of you and the person behind sends you a card

I made 3 very similar and this is one of them

Silhouette Strikes Again

I made these today on my Silhouette. Using the new software released this week it has enabled me to do "text to point" writing allowing me to bend my text around any shape.

These are going to be a life saver for me as at present I cut some cirles, and then stamp using LOTV stamps. I`m not  a very good stamper and my sentiments are always off centre.

But now thanks to My Sil I can write any sentiment I want and cut out a circle. I can have any edging I want on the line as the new software has a cracking knife tool.

This is my first attempt so I just done a basic circle. But now I have it stored the world is my oyster and I`ve also saved £30 on the Martha Stewart punces I want as my trustee Sil has come up trumps...

What A design tool this is , and endless posibilities

Hitchlock cover - personalised

I`ve been playing around with my silhouette the last couple of days , and must be honest I`m enjoying it immensely

After reading a post over on the Silhouette Forum, see post below . We were talking about inverted images, for cushions.

Which gave me an idea. I recently bought a caravan and have looked at all different types of hitchlock covers, none really appealed so I bought a plain one with a view to "doing something" with it

Well here it is - the yorkshire rose and letters were cut out using the Silhouette SD and applied to the cover.

They came out quiet well I thought
