Cameo Silhouette Hacks for Card Making

Today I am sharing some hacks for using the Cameo Silhouette for card making with digital stamps. 

Several of you have commented, letting me know that you have not used your Silhouette in a while. An electronic cutter, like the Silhouette can be a great tool for card making. In this video I am going to show you the following hacks..

Sizing of digital images to perfectly fit your card

Print and cut card front panels with digital images on them

How to make masks of your digital images

Creating custom sentiments to print and cut

Create custom sentiments that are white with a black background

Create a die cut background around a digital image

Plus, I am sharing 3 totally cute cards using the Snow Happy Digital stamp from the Not 2 Shabby Shop. 

 

 

If you can not see the video above, you can also view it right here.

Have you tried digital stamps?  If not let me tell you what I love about them. 

1. You can purchase a digital stamp from the comfort of home and play with it that same day. 
2. You can make the images any size you like. 
3. They are very reasonably priced.

Now let's take a closer look at each of these cards. 

On this card I used my Silhouette to size the digital stamp to fill my card front. I also created a mask so that I could ink blend a night sky behind him.  And I created my own sentiment that is black on white with a die cut look. 

I print and cut my image so that it was on a 4" x 5-1/4" panel.  I like to use a light weight card stock that I get by the ream at Walmart. I use a HP 7645 printer to print out my images and then I am able to Copic color with out any problems. 

For this next card I used my Silhouette to create a snowy backdrop for my snowman image. 

You can see the snow falling and snowflakes are cut from the paper around the snowman. This is very easy to do on the Silhouette and you can see me do it in the video above. 

I also made another custom sentiment for this card. This time in a rectangular shape. 

After coloring in my snowman and splattering it with Perfect Pearls, I popped up the panel on to a piece of light blue card stock. I love the shadows this gives the background. 

I just couldn't stop with two cards, so I made this third one with a distinct Valentine's look. I colored in the background around the snowman with my B01 Copic Marker. I created the Happy Valentine's Day sentiment using the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie font that I purchase and downloaded from the Silhouette Design store. And this is the font I used on all the sentiments I made. I did make three others that I used on the insides of these cards.

And after coloring in the image I splattered the entire image with white acrylic paint for a snowy look. 

I am so in love with this Snow Happy digital stamp. You can easily use this digital image with out the Cameo Silhouette electronic cutter. But I hope these card making hacks have inspired you to dust off your Silhouette and use it for card making, there are so many possibilities. 

If you have any questions about the techniques I used or using the Cameo Silhouette, feel free to leave that question below. I am more than happy to try and help! 

Below I have linked all the supplies I used to make today's cards.

Weekender Handbag - Designer Edition

Welcome back to another Concord & 9th feature. Today I am share two Weekender Handbags I made, inspired by photos of designer handbags that my friend sent me. 

I have made a video for you, so you can see exactly how these handbags go together. 

If you can not see the video on this screen, you can also view it right here. 

And if you missed my first video on the Weekender Handbag die set you can watch that video right here. 

Today's blog post is part of a blog hop with the other designers at Concord & 9th. 

I am loving creating with the talented ladies this month, a couple who are my friends!  So be sure to read to the end and hop along to see what each of them have made with the Weekender Handbag die set. 

Now here are some close up pictures of each of the hand bags I made. 

First up is the pink and brown and gold purse. I am IN LOVE with this color combination.  Which was inspired by a photo of a designer purse a friend sent me. 

The tag I used on this purse is a die from the Everyday Purse die set, if you like this Weekender Handbag die set, you will also love the Everyday Purse. I have several videos on that die set as well. I have listed them for you here, if you want to check them out. 

Everyday Purse Stamp and Die Set Bundle Episode 1

Everyday Purse Leather Clutch

Everyday Purse Altered

Everyday Purse Cards

I stamped this purse the the Weekender Handbag stamp set and gold ink for this fun designer look. And I added an accessory with the sunglasses die cut from the Bright Eyes die set. 

The brown purse is very similar, with gold stamping, but this time on the main body of the purse using the clover like image. The XO is stamped onto the Wheat card stock with Wheat ink. 

This Weekender Handbag has a fairly large capacity.  The inside of the purse is about 4" long, 2" wide and 3" tall. I love that you can fit a decent amount of things in this purse, making it perfect for giving a small gift. Great for Valentines, a birthday, Mother's Day or any occasion that you want. 

Now it is time to jump over and see what the other designers have made with this amazing die set. Next on the hop is Sara Sherlock from Much Love Sara. Sara always makes such beautiful things, I know you will be glad you hopped over to her blog.

Mini Slimline Card for Valentines

Hey there my stamping friends. I hope you had a fabulous Christmas and continue to enjoy this holiday season. 

Today I am sharing a MINI Slimline card using the Made with Love stamp set by Trinity Stamps. I thought this set that came out in the fall of 2020 would also make for a great Valentine's Card. 

You can see the making of this card in the video below. 

What a stamp to color and fun card size to play with. 

A mini Slimline card is made with a 6" x 6" piece of card stock folded in half at 3". It is such a fun size for Valentines day. 

I used Copic Markers to color in the cute little knitting gnome and her puppy. I stuck to pink, red, gray and black to give this image a valentine feel. I also wanted the hair and the clothing on my gnome to stand out from each other, so I used Warm Gray markers on her hair and Cool Gray markers on her clothing. I used the same warm gray markers for the puppy. Don't you just love how he is wearing his hat like her!  

I also have to tell you about this background, as I am in love with it. It started with a light layer of Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink on to a 3-3/4" x 5-3/4" piece of white card stock. Then I used one of the stencils from the Slimline Lots of Dots set to add another layer of the Spun Sugar Distress Oxide ink.  

My sentiment came from the Happy Senti-mini stamp and die set. I die cut the two happy dies from the die set in pink and black. Then layered these two pieces together. I used this piece to decide where to put the stamped sentiment. Once the image was stamped in black I was ready to adhere my die cut pieces and add this to my card base. 

Trinity Stamps has two Mini Slimline die sets, one makes an envelope for this size card and has several other dies for making these fun sized cards. The other die cuts a card front panel for this size card with 3 windows in it.  These die sets are now on my wish list for sure! 

You can check out all the things I used to make this card below.

Hot Cocoa Bar sign and tour

Hello there my stamping friends. 

Today I am sharing how I made this sign for my Hot Cocoa Bar and giving you a tour of it as well!  

On my sign I am using an image I downloaded from the Silhouette Design Store, Hot Cocoa by Jillibean Soup.

That is the image on the base of my sign, which I made to look like it was on a chalkboard, using Print and Cut in my Cameo Silhouette studio. If you do not have a Silhouette you could easily find  a hot cocoa printable. Etsy is another good option for things like this. 

To dress up my sign I used the Holiday Latte digital stamp from the Not 2 Shabby Shop. 

I wanted the cups to have a Santa and Elf feel to them. I colored them using Copic Markers. 

To take these cute cups of cocoa up a notch I added a cute little critter from the Peek a Boo Holiday Tag Toppers die set by Avery Elle. 

They add the touch of cutesy, that I love. But a sign like this would be equally as cute with out the critters. 

I added a bit of holly and a bow to finish it off and added it to my Hot Cocoa Bar. 

If you'd like to learn more about using the Cameo Silhouette for paper crafting you might like this video too. I use the same Holiday Latte digital stamp to show you how to Print and Cut your digital images and how to make a shape card. 

Watch it right here: https://youtu.be/TINfqd91Xk0

I also made some shaker tags with the Peek a Boo Holiday Tag Topper set. 

You can catch that video right here: https://youtu.be/kbcIymzKyF8 if you missed it. 

If you watched the tour of my hot cocoa bar you might have seen the snowglobe I made. 

You can watch how I made it right here: https://youtu.be/jbZ33m0caiM

I would love to know, do you have a Hot Cocoa bar, or have you done one?  Tell me about it, I am in love with them right now and would so enjoy hearing about yours.

Lovely Letters Concord & 9th Feature Friday

Today I get to share with you three brand new alphabet stamp sets by Concord & 9th. 

Lovely Letters Uppercase

Lovely Letters Lowercase

Little Letters

The Lovely Letters Upper and Lower Case sets are unique in that they are designed to link together when stamped. I found them easier to link together than I thought they would be. I did not even use my MISTI for the stamping of these letters. Just and old fashioned acrylic block.  I thought it would be fun to make a Valentine's card with the Bright Eyes die set too. 

The design of these letters is such that you do not have to stamp them with perfection to get good results. But how fun to create a card with a completely customized sentiment like this. I used all three of the new alphabet stamp sets on this card. I really love adding the hashtag at the bottom. With that set, Little Letters, there are doubles of popular letters so you can spell out a word and stamp it at one time. 

 

Did you catch my slimline card last week that I made with these glasses?  I put hearts on the lenses, but they were die cut. So I thought I would stamp on the window sheet that I put behind these glasses with White Staz On ink. The heart is from the Lovely Letters Uppercase stamp set. And check out that tag that I stamped "eyes" on, the came from the Weekender Handbag die set. It's the piece that makes the bag closure and fits the letters from the Little Letters stamp set perfectly. 

For my second card I used the Lovely Letters Lowercase set to stamp hello in the upper left corner of my background. I just love that this stamp set has several double letter images in the set for easily stamping words like Hello!   I also used the Little Letters stamp set to add the bright eyes hashtag to the bottom right of my background. Both were stamped in black ink and embossed with clear embossing powder, so they would stand out more.

I used the glasses to make a shaker element for the front of this card. I die cut black fun foam with the outline die of the glasses to give it space for the shaker elements. I love how the tiny star elements look inside.  

To see how I made this background you can check out this video on the Rainbow Turnabout stamp set and see more cards I made with these backgrounds. 
 

I know these alphabet die sets are going to be a great addition to my crafting. I love the look and they are easy to stamp together. 

Now it is time to hop along and see what the other designers have made with these alphabets for Feature Friday. 

Next up on the hop is Sara Sherlock, check out her beautiful creations right here. 

Here is the entire line up of C9 designers for this month, incase you missed one along the way.

Weekender Handbag + Bright Eyes

Hello my stamping friends, today is an exciting day!  I am sharing with you my first creation with the Weekender Handbag from Concord & 9th, designed by my friend Becky Roberts from Inking Idaho. I fell in love with the first purse die set Becky designed, the Everyday Purse. So much so that I did and entire YouTube series on it. You can see those videos right here. 

What is even more fun is that all of us that are designing for Concord & 9th this month thought we would come together and link our projects in a hop. Giving you lots of inspiration with this new die set! You can find the complete hop list at the end of this post.

I thought it would be easiest for you to see this purse go together in a video, so you can watch the making of the Weekender Handbag in the video below as well as see the Bright Eyes die set in action. 

 

If you can not see the video below you can also view it right here. If you have not yet subscribed to my YouTube channel you can find it right here. 

Now let's take a closer look at the Weekender Handbag Bundle and what I made with it. 

To customize this handbag I used the Gingham background stamp, inked it up with Sorbet ink and stamped that onto my already die cut handbag panels. I love the tone on tone look with this pattern. Next I stamped the XO from the coordinating stamp set over this with Mushroom ink. 

This die set has amazing embellishments included that you can use to make this purse personalized and have a bit of bling. I just love the little heart locket and coordinating key!  

And speaking of embellishing, how about accessorizing you purse?!? With a pair of matching sunglasses!  Take a look at the die set that made these glasses, Bright Eyes !

Not only did I make a pair of glasses for my purse but I made a card with this die set as well. 

And it was so much fun to make all these glasses in rainbow on a slimline card. 

For the fun background on this 8-1/2" x 3-1/2" panel I used the ink cube direct to paper in rainbow order; Honey Suckle, Butter Cup, Parsley, Aqua Sky , and Eggplant.  These are the same colors of card stock I used for the glasses themselves. 

For fun I aded a die cut heart to each lease of each pair of glasses, which is a die from the Weekender Handbag die set. I added a bit of Shimmer to the glasses with a black wink of Stella. Pretty gorgeous I think! 

How about some more inspiration now? Below are four other creative maker with ideas for you with these fun new die sets. Next up on the hop is Sara Sherlock. You are going to love her soft and pretty style, Sara pays close attention to detail and always makes amazing creations. 

Here is the entire hop list incase you get off track along the way.

Layered Hot Foiling with Glimmer Mix & Match

Hello there, Today I am sharing the Glimmer Hot Foil kit of the month by Spellbinders.  With this kit I am going to show you how to do some Layered Hot Foiling!

This new Glimmer Hot Foil plate set has interchangeable pieces to create different looks. In this video I will show you all the combinations.

You can see the plate set in action in the video below. 

If you can not see the video on this screen you can also watch it here: 

For the layering I glimmer hot foiled two different backgrounds, Dotted Background and Polka Dot using Opal Foil. These are my favorite plates and my favorite color of foil!  

Then I used a darker or contrasting foil to foil over the top for a layered look. 

For the first set of cards I use white card stock and a for my second layer of foiling I used Polished Brass foil. I love the elegant look! 

 

For the tops of these ovals there are two choices; Happy Birthday and A Big Thank You. These can be interchanged with 3 different foliages pieces that complete the oval.  I mounted my backgrounds on to precut card bases from Spellbinders. These are new and make card making so fast and easy. So I made 4 more cards. 

Here are the second set of cards in this pretty pool color with the Opal foil in the background and Teal foil for the top layer. 

I love the Magenta foil over this light pink card stock. I am planning on putting all of these note cards together as a gift. It's a great Christmas gift that I will be using as one of our family Christmas game night prizes. 

Below I have listed and linked all the things I used to make these cards. 

Also did you know that when you join the Glimmer Hot Foil kit of the month, you get 10% off a Glimmer Hot Foil system when you purchase it at the time you subscribe. Such a cool deal!

Weekender Handbag is HERE!

I am very excited about the new release at Concord & 9th!  My friend Becky Roberts has designed another die set that creates an adorable purse!  It is the Weekender Handbag. This die set makes it easy for you to make a paper purse that will fit a small gift. I am in love with it, bigger than the Everyday Purse. 

Take a look at the fun new purse. 

I love all the little add ons that make this purse a designer handbag!  

The last purse die set that Concord & 9th released sold out fast so if you are interested in this one, you might want to act fast. You can shop the new release and get the die set here. 

You can see the difference between the two purses here. The Weekender Handbag is much bigger than the Everyday purse. But both are sooo cute! 

There is also a cool sunglasses die set that pairs nicely with this handbag die set!  It is the Bright Eyes die set. I am giddy over this set!  

The entire new release is now LIVE and is sure to go fast, so shop early to ensure you get the things you like. 

You can shop the release right here. 

I will be back very soon with some ideas for you with these fun new die sets! 

Winter Burrow POP UP Slimline Box Card

Welcome back to my blog. It's time for Episode 2 of my Winter Burrow Stamp Set of the Month series. In this episode I am making a Pop Up Slimline Box Card. It was easy, because I used a new die set in the Slimline Series by Trinity Stamps. 

I can't wait to show you this card!  It is a Christmas card for a sweetheart. You can watch the making of it in the video below. 

If you can not see the video on this screen, you can also view it right here.

I loved making this card into a 3D scene with this pop up box card and it is slimline, so much fun! 

I stuck with traditional colors for this card and love them with the black and white!  

The checked paper is from the Black and White Slimline paper pack by Trinity Stamps, love this print!  Simple prints like this one, or dots or stripes are my most favorite. 

Here you can better see the bridges that the images are adhered to, that make them appear 3D. You can add as many bridges to this card as you like. I think 2 or 3 is perfect. 

Let me tell you how I made this background for this card. I started with Black Soot Distress Oxide ink, once that covered my background panel I spritzed it with water for a splatter look. Then I used one of the Snow Fall stencils over that with white ink.  Next I used the second Snow Fall stencil and added Glitz Glitter Gel over that. This resulted in a background with a lot of depth. I LOVE it! 

For my sentiments I used a smile Merry Christmas stamp from the stamp set, A Sentiment for Almost Everything. It is adhered to the back fo the burrow and tree, so it is suspended in air. 

To finish off the sentiment I used the Sweet Senti-Mini stamp set to make the word Sweetheart. Make sure you watch the video to see what I added to the back of this card. 

I had so much fun making this card, it is the first pop up box card I have ever made, I guess having a die made me want to give it a go, not to mention that it is slimline size!  When this card is folded flat it measures 8-1/2" x 3-3/4", fits perfect in the business size envelopes I bought at the Dollar Tree. 

You will find all the supplies I used to make today's card listed and linked for you below.

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month December 2020

I am excited to be sharing this card with you today. It has two interactive elements on it. I used the December Large Die of the Month kit by Spellbinders - Look Behind the Curtain for this card and made a shaker window as a surprise when you pull the curtains back. 

Spellbinders has monthly kits for everyone, Large Die of the Month is just one of them.  You can check out all their club kits here. 

In this video I am going to show you the die, what it die cuts and how to use the pieces. Then I will make the shaker card to go with it! 

If you can not see the video above you can also view it right here. 

I really love all the embossed detail on these curtains that come from a die!  If you love this die set you will also love the Small Die of the Month, which is a Window die set.  

You can also use these curtain dies to make a theatre looking curtain, which would pair nicely with the Clear Stamp of the Month kit that is ballerinas this month! 

I also love that you can decorate your curtains and room around your curtains as you like. I chose colors I like for my curtains and added some Christmas decorations to it. 

First let's take a look at the card with the curtains closed, look at the amazing texture! 

Now here's a look at the card with the curtains open. 

It looks like it is a white Christmas!!!  I love these little snowmen from the Snowmen Days stamp set. 

You can see in the window I have some clay shaker elements and some tiny clear beads, the perfect snowy shaker elements. 

Below I have listed and linked all the things I used to make today's card.  To see this card being made you can watch this video.

Lawn Fawn Fans Winter Hop + GIVEAWAY!

I am so happy to be back with another Lawn Fawn Fans hop!  I love this group of creators and can not wait for you to see what we have in store for you this time on our Winter themed hop!  

Our Sponsor this month is Scrapbook.com!  They have EVERYTHING under the sun at their shop and also, amazing deals.  They are generously giving away a $50 shopping spree to their store to one lucky commenter on this hop! THANK YOU SCRAPBOOK.COM!!! 

There are 12 stops on this hop and each stop is a video on YouTube, so make sure to click over and watch this video on YouTube, so you can comment there and be entered into the drawing. 

My creation for the Winter hop is a holiday baking scene, these mice have taken over the woodland kitchen to create some yummy holiday treats!  There are lift the flaps in this card and of course a shaker!  

If you can not see the video on this screen, you can also watch it here. 

Next up on the hop is a video by Mona Toth, she is extremely talented, I know you are going to love what she made for the hop! Watch her video right HERE. 

Now let's get a good look at this woodland kitchen...

I knew I wanted to use the stamp set, A Creature is Stirring,  for this card and the oven from Sprinkled with Joy. I also knew I wasn't excited about thinking up how to create a kitchen counter top. So I thought let's take the kitchen to the mice instead.  And a Woodland kitchen was born. 

The woodland scene it self was created on the largest rectangle die cut from the Large Slimline with Sliders die set from Lawn Fawn, which is 8-1/2" x 3-1/2". I mounted that onto some Red and White Striped Paper, it is digital paper that I bought from Etsy, and printed out. I have the shop linked below for you. So, my finished card is 9" x 8", scored at 4". This size slimline card fits into the business sized envelopes that I bought at the Dollar Tree. 

I used the Lift the Flap Tree Backdrop to add a tree to each end of the scene.  Inside each tree I added a cute thing. The tree on the left is a mice who snuck off to eat a candy cane. 

On the right the mice are using the tree for storage and in this pantry of convenience you will find the vanilla frosting. 

Also, the oven door opens to reveal a fun shaker surprise! 

I love this part of the card so much, first of all, a red oven!  Second, a shaker of gingerbread men, peppermint candies, sprinkles and seed beads!  And it is just so much fun to have a little mini shaker right on your card. 

And on the inside...

Another little flap to lift with a mouse eating a cookie. What a fun card to make!  I still want to add more cookies to it, but I had to stop. I hope you have enjoyed this card too. Below I have all the stops for this hop, so you don't miss a video.

Dollar Tree DIY and Instagram Hop

Hello Stamping friends! Today I am here sharing a Dollar Tree DIY project as part of the Dare 2B Artzy Christmas 3D Instagram Hop!  Sharing some Holiday project inspiration as this season is upon us. There are prizes and giveaways and cute projects ideas!  

For only 2 days you can get 15% off your order at the Dare 2B Artzy shop using code XMAS2020!  

Now let's take a look at the 3D Holiday project I made for this Instagram Hop. 

It all started with a Dollar Tree wooden snowglobe home decor piece. But let's back up just a little bit. You should know I love to watch Dollar Tree DIY video's on YouTube. The makers create the coolest home decor pieces using items from the Dollar Tree. I love it and want to do it so bad. But my talents and passion are in paper crafting. So, I thought I would mash up these two things. I would do a Dollar Tree DIY home decor piece using my talents of paper crafting. So, when I found this wooden snow globe with a paper overlay of a snowman, I knew this was the piece I wanted to do over for my Hot Cocoa bar. 

You can watch the transformation here. 

I honestly feel so I excited that I did a Dollar Tree DIY video!  If you can not see the video on this screen, you can also view it right here. 

Now this project is part of an Instagram Hop, so you are going to want to head over to my Instagram page and hop along for a chance to win one of two $10 gift certificates to the Dare 2B Artzy shop. You have two days to hop along and enter to win. Start the hop here.

I love how this little snow globe turned out and am happy to have a hand made piece to add to my cocoa bar.  The Crazy 4 Cocoa stamp set has got to be one of my favorites this holiday season. The marshmallow man kills me!  

This snowglobe was very easy to make with a bit of sand paper, acrylic paint and paper.

Winter Burrow Slimline Surprise

Happy December!  A new month means a new Stamp Set of the Month series!  
This month's set is Winter Burrow by Trinity Stamps!  

You may remember in September I did the Bunny Burrow for my Stamp Set of the Month. I did not make any Christmas cards then because I was waiting for this stamp set to come out! 

The first card I am making is a Slimline Surprise card, it's like two cards in one! 

You can watch Episode One right here. 

If you can not see the video on this screen you can also view it right here. 

This card uses the new Slimline Surprise die to make the fun interactive element. 

See the little bow of twine?  When you pull that back you get this....

Two new panels to play with. I chose to do all scenes but you can do anything there. For example, I used this die with a snowman die set and put money in for the surprise. Check that card out right here. 

I used the Snowfall Layering Stencil set and Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink on all my panels for a snowy scene. 

For this left hand panel, which is the mechanism that moves the cad front I added a sentiment using the Scripty Christmas die set.  I love that little snow mouse!  I needed a little something with my sentiment on this panel and a snow mouse on the hill is perfect! 

Isn't it so fun that you pull back the card front and another scene appears!  See how it is like two cards in one!  The Winter Burrow stamp set is so fun to use to dress up my Bunny Burrow Critters and goes good with the Mouse House and Shoe Sprite stamp sets too! 

This interactive die set for slimline cards is so much fun to play with. I hope that you have enjoyed seeing a creation with it and all the fun I had using the Winter Burrow stamp set. 

Below I have listed and linked all the supplies I used to make today's card.
