I bought a Silhouette Machine<\/a> back in September! There were a whole bunch of blogs hosting giveaways of the machine and I had entered every one of them. Needless to say, I did not win. I tried to convince myself I didn’t need one but then discovered that Overstock<\/a> had a great price on it plus I had a $10 coupon and with $3 shipping, well, welcome to your new home!<\/p>\n

When I bought the machine, their software wasn’t compatible with Mac just yet but they were supposed to release the software around the same time (they were a little delayed.) There was a plug-in to use it with Adobe Illustrator so I was using that for a bit. I was really excited when the software came out because then I was also able to shop the store for shapes! There were some glitches in the software and I was pleasantly surprised that contacting customer service was a nice experience! They responded pretty quickly and put me in direct contact with the programmers of the software. I helped them test out different versions of the software so the machine got a bit of a workout early on. That’s a good thing, tho! It helped me get used to the machine. Here are some projects I did with it.<\/p>\n

\"thankyoucards.jpg\" \"hellocards.jpg\"\"hbcards.jpg\"
\nOne of my first projects was making this card set for a swap. Pretty simple stuff but I was still feeling the machine out. I used the sketch pens for the thank you card on the right.<\/p>\n

\"siennadoor.jpg\"
\nI made this with vinyl for Sienna’s door. It’s a tad bit crooked because I didn’t use transfer tape to help it on.<\/p>\n

\"hshirt.jpg\"
\nI made this shirt for Hailey’s birthday.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"oshirt.jpg\"\"eshirt.jpg\"
\nThese were for Emily and Olivia’s birthday<\/a>. I wanted to do a different design but my brain wasn’t functioning (I was just starting to get sick!)<\/p>\n

\"christmastags.jpg\"
\nChristmas tags for a swap<\/p>\n

\"teapotcupnecklace.jpg\"
\nI’m really happy with how this came out! This was for an Etsy inspire swap. You look on your partner’s Etsy faves and create something inspired by their faves. I hadn’t intended to outright copy it but when I saw it on my partner’s list, the Silhouette was the first thing I thought of. I did this by layering paper and coating it. Here is the original item<\/a>, which is made from recycled vinyl record, pretty cool in itself!<\/p>\n

\"recipeswap.jpg\"
\nThis is for a recipe swap on the Silhouette users Yahoo group. I cut out the tag, the snowflake and the title with the machine. I used the sketch pens to write out the title and also for the hors d’oeuvres written on the snowflake.<\/p>\n

\"eiffeltowerholder1.jpg\"
\nThis was also for the Etsy inspire swap. My partner had Paris bookmarks on her list so I made her bookmarks with photos from my honeymoon in Paris (bookmarks will be shown in another post). The holder was also cut out and was intended to be used as a money holder and I cut out the Eiffel Tower in the middle.<\/p>\n

\"eiffeltowerholder2.jpg\"
\nThis one held photos of Paris and I used the cut out from the previous item and glued it on here!<\/p>\n

\"gsheartorn.jpg\"
\nI used the Silhouette to cut out this GS logo (my partner is a Junior GS leader) and used it to etch it on the glass ornament. I suppose I could have left it as is but I used alcohol inks to give it some color. It was so much fun! I have 2 more glass ornaments that I am definitely going to do something similiar (not with the GS logo tho!)<\/p>\n

\"slogoshirt.jpg\"
\nThis was the latest item I made. Sienna somehow<\/em> got grease stains on this shirt and although this logo doesn’t cover all the stains, I figured you would be distracted by the logo to notice the stains! HA! The pink is neon and I think I had the iron too hot so it melted it just a tad. That is why there is a little white around the pink. I’m very happy with it just the same!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
