2nd Wednesday - No Review this Month.

Okay guys, I have to admit that the weeks in this month got away from me, so there will be no 2nd Wednesday Video this Month.  Not to worry, it will be back next month, also I'm sure we will all be talking about whatever new machine Cricut reveals later this month.

HAPPY CRAFTING

Silhoutte Thursday #4: From Page to Cutfile

Hello fellow Crafty people!  I hope your New Years has started off great.

I'm sure your wondering what does from page to cut file mean.  Well, I like to look at craft magazines, books and sometime participate in sketch challenges.  Sometimes I come across a instructions that have a lot of steps and proceed to get out my ruler, paper trimmer, score board and pencil to create the project.  The end result (after some trial and error) is great, but I have to look up those instructions each and every time.  Well with your Silhouette Studio software, you can take those instructions from the page and translate it into a Silhouette Studio file.  Now you are measuring just once, leaving you with a quick and easy way to recreate that project. The video this month takes you through the steps of creating a file, for a slider card that I found in the Summer 2013 edition of Card Maker Magazine .  CLICK HERE  to see the video.  There will be another video up this Saturday, showing you how I put a card the card together.

I finally got the video done, so if you click here you will see the how to put the slider card together.

HAPPY CRAFTING

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hey Crafty friends,

I hope everyone enjoyed this holiday season, and got at least one thing that was on your craft wish list. Since I'm still away visiting family for the holiday season, the Silhouette Thursday video/blog post is going to be delayed.  I expect the video and blog post will be up by next Thursday.  

I hope that everyone had a safe and happy New Year's Day, and wish that you have a crafty and creative year.  

HAPPY CRAFTING

2nd Wednesday: Create a Critter 2

This month I decided to do some projects using the Create a Critter 2 cartridge.  I started off making some cards, and then I needed to dress up a gift bag for a party.  I threw in at the end cutting out cookie dough with the shadow shapes.  CLICK HERE  to see the You Tube video of the projects.  

This cartridge is fun to use, and just like the first Create a Critter cartridge you can use some of the Peachy Keen face stamps to add a different look to your critters.

HAPPY CRAFTING

Silhouette Thursday #3: Using My Sketch Pens

Hey Crafty People!  Can you believe that it's DECEMBER already?  Yikes!!!  I have to finish up my Christmas Cards.  Good thing I started a little earlier this year.  Since it's the first Thursday in December it's time for my Silhouette Thursday video.  I am trying to keep my self organized (okay, okay, I'm trying to organize . . .it's a never ending process) so I decided that I needed to do some labels for my craft bins, boxes and baskets.  Instead of writing out the labels by hand I figured that I would use my sketch pens to make them all pretty. CLICK HERE to see the video. 

Remember there are specific sketch design in the silhouette store, but you an pretty much sketch whatever you can cut.  If you don't already  know Silhouette is having a sale on their designs in the online store.  50% percent off, it ends on the 8th of this month.  You still have a few days to pick up the designs and fonts that have been on your wish list.

HAPPY CRAFTING

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Gobble, Gobble Crafters!

 I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.  

Here's some crafting FYI about sales:

Silhouette America is having a 50% off sale on all of their designs on the online store. And they are selling their accessories and supplies at 40% and free shipping once you spend $25.00 or more. The discount promo code is HOLIDAY.  Don't worry they have the code listed on their website.

Circut is also having a doorbuster sale on their website.  I thinks they are doing different sales for different days.  I got an email that indicated that for today the Disney Cartridges, physical and digital are on sale.

Since I use those two machines a lot, I thought I pass along the info.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Using a Card base to make a Notepad

Hello Crafter's!  As promised from here is the video showing how I used the card base from Wild Card 2 to make a notepad.  For this project, I had to bust out my YourStory machine to bind the book.  I do talk a little about using your glue gun and the YourStory to bind your homemade book.  But for this project, I used the glue strips that were made for the YourStory machine.  

HAPPY CRAFTING
