Happy Sunday friends and a very Happy Mother's Day to you! Today I have a couple of fun projects (and a card) to share with you!
Silhouette's May Promotion is now in full swing and I had the honor to create some projects using one of their newest products - Silhouette Chipboard!
One of the
projects that I couldn't wait to create using the Silhouette Chipboard was a
gift container! The heavier weight lends itself nicely to holding heavier
gifts! I started by cutting out the Fruit Basket shape using my Cameo,
assembling it, and then adding some white wash paint over it. I decorated
it with a strip of Bella patterned paper, Ciao Chip, and a Button Market
button!
The shape file that I used is called 3-D Bushel Fruit Basket.
Here's a peek at the tag that I included with the basket. I will be giving this to my three boys' bus driver. :-)
For my next project I created a little Baby mini album! I
cut out album pages using my Silhouette Cameo and some Silhouette
Chipboard. I then cut some Baby Boy pages using the same cut files. Both
the front and back have different patterns (all from the Bella Baby Boy
collection). I decorated the front of the Album using some coordinating
Baby Boy Ciao Chip pieces, Alpha+Bits Stickers, a couple of Saltwater
Feathers, and a Star Button.
The name of the cut file that I used for this album is called 3 Tabbed Mini Album.
I love adding both dimension and texture to my cards, so the idea of being able
to create my own custom chipboard pieces really appealed to me! I used my
Silhouette Cameo, Silhouette Chipboard, and various Bella patterned papers to
cut out the tree and heart shapes for my card. For embellishments, I added
a Miniature Card Sentiment and two Button Market buttons!
The names of the cut files that I used for this card are Echo Park Tree and Hearts Set.
You all know how much I love my Cameo! It's such a wonderful tool for scrapbookers and stampers alike! If you've been thinking about purchasing either the Silhouette
Portrait or the Silhouette CAMEO, now is a great time to make it happen. You can find these great chipboard promotions HERE, with prices lasting until May 15th.
Thanks for stopping by! Hugs, Laurie
