Silhouette Cameo Flowers and Party Decor

I love using my Silhouette Cameo for creating unique party decor. Layered paper flowers in solid color cardstock really pops. 

I photographed these with a paper clip but I think they are a little too big for the job so I am going to make some smaller ones to add to some paper clips.

I ended up adding them to some tissue paper tassles and a sewn paper garland that I had cut the shapes with my Silhouette Cameo.

Silhouette Portrait Ideas

This little gift idea was made using the Samantha Walker Ice Cream Container cut file. I then cut a few butterflies in different sizes and layered them to create the accent pieces. I then found a font that I like and typed a "T" and then used the offset function and made a mat so that it would pop. 

These flowers were made using the Flower Ball Cutting File by Jamie Cripps, and were cut with 3 different colors of papers for contrast. 

The flat flowers were cut using last week's free shape of the week and layering them up.

Gelli Print Fabric

Today I spent a little while playing with my Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate and I want to share some of the results on fabric. 

I used a striped fabric for these test and I might have to try some plain fabric next. I ironed freezer paper onto the back before I printed it and it really helped with the process. They designs are stencils that I made with my Silhouette Portrait. 

Cardstock and a Silhouette

This is my stash of 8.5 x 11 Cardstock and I have been having fun making the decorations for the Vacation Bible School at our church. It will be July 22-25 and our theme this year is Oceans of Fun.

I have been cutting out a lot of sea creatures and now I'm working on sea urchin and I feel like I'm in who ville.

After I cut them out, my daughter glues them together for me then I add doodles with a black gel pen. I add highlights with a white gel pen also. These have been a really fun project and I will be sharing more of the finished projects with you on Friday.
