Mustache Tattoo

Image
I love my Silhouette Cameo and one of my favorite projects that I have done is make mustache tattoos. Today I will show you how to make temporary tattoos.  First, select the design you. With Silhouette Design Studio, there is an endless supply of designs. Place registration marks, this will help to know where to put the design. Copy and paste as many as you would like, offset the design (this will give it the outline to cut, if you prefer). Print on the white paper of the  printable Tattoo paper  .  **If you have typed words, as in the example below, be sure to mirror your image** Once printed, place the clear sticker sheet on top, place on mat, and cut out the shape. Place on desired area with a wet cloth for 20 seconds. The paper will slide off and your image will remain! My kids thought these where the greatest things! We Played all afternoon with our fake mustaches.  These are great for kids birthday parties, family get...

Zipper Bag!

I love to try new techniques with sewing, so when I saw this great tutorial on making a zipper bag, I knew I had to try it. I love the way it turned out! My favorite part is the cute light pink zipper. Who doesn't need another bag? Once it was made I added some HTV to it just to make it more special. Make sure to mirror the image with HTV. Iron on and BAM! A custom made bag. It is addicting to make such cute bags. I hope you have a great day! The inside lining is so charming!

Hello!!

I have been wanting to give my throw pillows a new look, without breaking the bank. So I quickly made a new slip cover for my pillow. Pick a design in the Silhouette studio, and adjust to the size needed. Example my pillow was 17 1/2" and the heat transfer vinyl (HTV) I had was 9x12. I tried my best to get the image to fill all of the material so it would look right on the pillow. Once you get the size you need, test it out on a piece of paper to ensure that is the correct size. **BE SURE TO FLIP YOUR IMAGE** Cut out your image, weed, place on material and press HARD! Place the cover on the pillow and ta-da a whole new pillow!!

Mother's Day Gift

With Mother's Day around the corner, I needed to come up with a gift for my mom. So I came up with the perfect gift. Every month when my children turned another month older, I took their picture. (I only did this the first year.) My mom loves them and has been wanting to have the all, so why not make her a book. In Silhouette Studio I used the Amy Robison mini album design. Adjust to the size you want. Fill the page with the image and cut out as many as you need. For the cover, I cut out two pieces of card stock and glued them together. *I did learn to check the direction of your paper for the back cover. It could end up upside down. Cut out the circle and embellish. Now you have a cute mini album all ready to go for your mom!! Happy Mother's Day to all you great moms and women!

I am always looking forward to the next holiday, especially in the winter. I wanted to have a fun printable that I would love. I created this in Silhouette Studio and it didn't take very long. I am going to show you how to make it for yourself. Ready? Good!! Supplies: White Cardstock Color printer Silhouette Cameo Designs Needed: Clovers Design #75118 Got everything you need? Great! Let's get started!!!  #1 Determine the size you want the printable to be. I wanted mine to be a 5"x7". Create a square 5"x7" (or your desired size) Make sure the "Locked ratio" is unchecked. #2 I wanted stripes, and for them to be evenly spaced. Create another square with the dimensions 5"x.5".  Used the align tool to bring it to the top and center it. #3 Now the next step is what makes the Silhouette so great. I need it to go all the way down the page, so instead of copying and pasting, click the "column of four...
