Even more Silhouette things

Whew! Exhausted from all the Silhouette-ing, so I won't type too much. Here's more stuff I made!
This mini Petal set is so adorable- I want to make it in so many paper combos.



Here is a pop-up card I made for my uncle that I modified from the Silhouette store. I used the pen to sketch the personalized liner for the envelope:


using one of my many leftover "flags" to seal the envelope,

... and used the pen to address it, before cutting it all out. So pretty!

Here are some cute labels I made:





My signature tag pocket.

And finally, here are some of my other sets, all packaged up and ready to go to their "forever" homes.




I'm tired! I need to turn my brain off and stop thinking of ideas.

Stationery Sets made by me!

So I have been going absolutely wild with my Silhouette and here are some of the things that I have been putting together. I recently discovered an obsession with making stationery and can't stop. I keep joking that someone needs to take the Silhouette away from me, but I might slap a person if they tried!
I just love this set I made with this cute "atom" card.



A pretty get well card/set:




I have been drooling over stationery sets with petal envelopes. Now I can make my own!



These cards remind me of tuxedos, they would be great if they were personalized for a wedding!



This combo of purple flower print liners and craft paper is so pretty to me.



This adorable set has note cards that are really nests with a matching egg:



This creamy ivory paper looks so pretty against the scallop lining.



You might remember these cards from my previous post, here they are all finished.



A black and white set with pearlescent lattice cards:


And finally, a black and white set with different die cut tags:

Someone help me, I'm addicted to my Silhouette! If you are interested in buying any of these or even a custom order, visit my Etsy store!

Fun times with Silhouette machine

I. Love. This. Machine.
I got the silhouette as a Christmas present and haven't used it until 2 days ago. Why? I was terrified that it wouldn't work as well as it is supposed to, or that it would be too complicated to figure out since I wanted to primarily use my designs instead of the ones that comes with the software, that also was supposedly not mac-friendly.
Turns out the Silhouette is SO easy to use, I feel like a fool for not getting started sooner. Here are some of the things that I have made already!

I cut out my logo, and a bunch of other letters for later,

Some fun tags and shapes, pretty much just testing what it can do at this point.


I used my logo to decorate my sketchbook-

These guys watched me as I worked...

Here are some cute valentine's cards-

I have more to do to these, they're definitely going in my Etsy shop.



Here is the tiniest of tiny hearts that the Silhouette cut out. Pretty amazing!


Some really cute bow tags for gifts on any occasion-

Now onto vinyl, which is a lot more temperamental than paper. Either there is a steep learning curve or I just bought the wrong kind of vinyl, we shall see. But this is what I managed to make in the meantime:

I love my adorable stand mixer, and now it looks even cuter than before!

And finally, it took me all day, but I made a logo for my car!


Since I opened the box this little machine has been running non stop. If anyone else uses one, let me know what you think and if you have any tips!
