Year 1 with the Silhouette Cameo

After a full year I am still loving my Silhouette Cameo. I thought the novelty would have worn off by now but in truth, I love it more everyday! It amazes me how easy it is to use and the variety of projects I can do. Here are some of my projects from the last year.

I did this one in about an hour and costed under $20 dollars to make. 

I purchased the phrase from the silhouette store, then cut it out onto vinyl (It used maybe a dollar or two's worth). The shadow box was from Winners($7), the battery operated lights were on sale for $8 and the tinsel was .79 cents. The only other items used were a piece of thick cardstock and glue dots to place the lights onto. This was a quick and easy project and would make an awesome gift.

These 3D letters are a fun home decor project also. A few pieces of paper, some flowers and silver trim and you have a great piece to stand on a shelf or hang on the wall.

A mobile made with paper, lace and tulle. A LOT of tulle!!! I made this for my great niece who was born this summer. I had a hard time photographing it ( this was the best I could do). It took days for me to make, but the end resault was worth it. 

A couple of thermos mugs for my husband and his hunting buddy. I found an image of the dear online, cut it out with vinyl and added their names. A 15 minute project.

And finally a luminary. I made 70 of these for a wedding this pasted summer. I found some ideas online, then took some of those ideas and put them together using the designer edition of the silouette studio software. After cutting them out, I added velum on the inside and placed a battery opererated tealight inside. So cute, easy and cheap to make.



So those are just some of the projects I did with my cameo this past year. I look forward to making and sharing many more in the year coming up. Thanks for looking, Erin
