Gifts for Christmas Various wine charms

I made these as gifts for various family members. Theres a variety of differnet ones for Christmas and I`ve packaged them to make them more presentable.

I bought the bits from ebay. The alphabet ones are personalised for family members. I thought the christmas ones quirky. They`re all printed mounted onto card and placed into a cello bag.

I think they make lovely inexpensive stocking fillers

Carrier sheets for SD silhouette

I have been looking into the price of carrier sheets for a Silhouette SD, these can range from £14 upto £25 so I thought I`d have a go at some homemade ones.

And after using different type of mediums I think these two combos are the best IMO

I bought A4 CLEAR TRANSPARENT PVC BINDING COVERS 250GSM PACK 25

And CRAFTERS COMPANION STICK & SPRAY REPOSITIONAL ADHESIVE

This worked out at 40p per sheet. I have cut out on them on numerous occasions and the only word of warning is. These are ideal for cutting with the SD but if your cutting a big design I`d still use my carrier sheet. As A4 size is smaller than the carrier sheet.

I have printed and cut. I have cut out detailed background work. All have been great.

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
