Fabric Flower with Silhouette & Great March Promo ~

DIY | Easter Inspiration

Today I will show a little project using the Clean Cut Fabric Interfacing from Silhouette. Remember they have a great promo going on this week (details at the bottom).

I started by downloading the "3d Flowers" from the Silhouette Online Store for .99 cents. I then ironed on my interfacing to my fabric and cut out my shapes (really like magic).

I then crumpled up my pedals a bit and assembled my flower.

I then gathered a few supplies to make an Easter basket.

And I think my fabric flower makes a great addition!

Here are the promotion details:

• A Silhouette SD
• One of each fabric interfacing (clean cut & sewable)
• A roll of white flocked heat transfer material 

All for $229!

Also, readers that already have a Silhouette can get 25% off fabric interfacing...whoot, whoot!

My Fabric Egg & Silhouette March Promo ~

DIY | Easter Inspiration 

Silhouette has a great promotion staring today, so they sent me samples of their new Heat Transfer Fabric Interfacing - both sewable and clean cu for me to play with. Today I am going to show you a little project with the sewable variety. 

 Now I want to be very clear, I am not a seamstress (not even close). I truly am still learning how to use my sewing machine (yes, a bit embarassing) - and I thought this product was amazing! It was like magic watching my Silhouette cut the fabric. 

I started by creating a simple egg shape in Silhouette Studio, ironing on my interfacing and instantly I had these two shapes cut and ready to go.
 The interfacing definitely made my flimsy fabric feel much more substantial.

I sewed them together and stuffed my egg (don't laugh at my "bunchiness" - operator error).

I made a few linen flowers. And attached them to my egg (yes, with hot glue. I know this is a sewing project, but I love me some hot glue).

I then decided to add a little ribbon to the top to hang.

 

Now for the awesome deal from Silhouette!

Our lovely friends over at Silhouette are offering a great package deal:

• A Silhouette SD
• One of each fabric interfacing (clean cut & sewable)
• A roll of white flocked heat transfer material 

For $229....yep, that is a great deal!  

Also, readers that already have a Silhouette can get 25% off fabric interfacing...whoot, whoot!

Mini Love Banner (using my Silhouette) ~

Valentine | Project Inspiration

Have I told you lately how much I love my Silhouette machine? Well if not, I do! It is so super easy to use and the options are truly endless. Here is a little project I made with with my bad boy (aka Silhouette).

I simply laid out "love" with the pendent shape in Silhouette Studio.  

I printed it on my HP printer and then cut it with the Silhouette. Be sure to use the registration marks so the image and the cutter are able to line up.

And instantly, I have my shapes printed, cut and ready to go.

Grab a little jute.

And you have a super easy, festive Valentine banner.

Have an amazing weekend!

Another Valentine Frame {With Silhouette} ~

 DIY | Valentine Project Inspiration

I thought I would share another easy project using the Silhouette. For this project I bought a "Print and Cut" image from their online store for .99 cents. 

I simply printed off the image - yep, that design was only .99 cents - just think of the possibilities!

I cut down the image, rounded the corners and added a little Distress Ink to the edges. I then grabbed a dollar store frame (oh Dollar Tree, have I told you lately how much I love you?) and a little scrapbook paper.

I decided to add a few jewels to finish it off. 

And yes, that was it.

I know it might seem a bit early, but out with the old in with the new...right? Okay okay, it is WAY too early for Valentine's Day, but here we go!

Here are the materials I used:

• Sheet Music

• Burlap
• Letters cut out with my new Silhouette

With sheet music

With burlap frame

With foam heart (I did substitute a larger foam heart that I simply cut it in half)

With a little Valentine text - 

I used my new Silhouette to cut out the letters - 

it was sooo easy! Way easier than cutting out the letters by hand.
