Due to travel and airing on HSN last night, we were unable to post new files for the week. If you’re interested in playing around with the brand NEW Silhouette Curio, you can buy it through HSN.com with flex pay and it includes a $25 download card. So, it’s the best deal out there. I’m attaching a few photos from the set last night. It was my first airing on TV AND it was LIVE TV!! What a way to be initiated! If you missed it I’ll be doing it again on October 7.

I’ll try to post a review and give you a little more about the Silhouette Curio so you can decide if it’s for you. The main thing you have to remember is that it’s not meant to replace the CAMEO. It’s more of a specialty hobby machine.

Thanks for visiting the blog today! Be sure to go pick up your FREE with purchase file today. Please let us know if you need any help with your files. We want to make sure everyone is happy with their purchase. Have a great week!

Watch HSN Today + The Story of Fall

First off, I wanted to let everyone know that I’ll be on HSN tonight (Monday, September 21) between 7:00 pm-9:00 pm talking about the new Silhouette Curio! If you’ve been wanting a Curio, this is your chance to pick one up at a great price with FREE shipping and Flex Pay.

Next up, Cathy is here today to show us a gorgeous project….

Hi everyone!  Cathy here with you today sharing a layout with the gorgeous new Lori Whitlock collection from Echo Park, The Story of Fall.  I had so much fun the other day taking some Fall pictures of our little grand baby and I knew that I wanted to scrap these precious photos with the collection.  If you look closely at the photo, can see she is holding a matching headband to her tutu.    The look of her face is one she gives me often…like really Grandma?, I hate these and refuse to wear this!

Man, I love that face though.

The Story of Fall has so many fun prints and just tons of embellishments.  I used the enamel dots, the ephemera pack, acorn and leaves washi tape, chipboard along with the collection pack.  Plus, check out those hearts, they are all embossed with the Falling Leaves embossing folder from the collection.  I was inspired by a sketch from Paper Issues that you can see here.  It was perfect for using the journaling cards in this collection.

The thankful, hearts and arrows are from Lori’s SVG file… There is Always Something to be Thankful For.  I love how versatile Lori’s files are, I simply sized the thankful  to what I needed and then re sized the hearts and arrow for embellishing my page.  Perfect!

Thanks for joining us today, we can’t wait to see what you create with The Story of Fall!

Changing a File to Fit the Season

Hi everyone – it’s Tya here to share with you a simple tutorial on how to utilize your cut files to fit any season!

 Some of the files that I have downloaded come with specific accents that fit a certain occasion.  For instance I bought these 2 files to use for some Valentines Day projects I had in mind back in February – but with a simple switch of the accents – you can use files that are supposed to be used for a certain holiday any time of the year.

Let me show you how I did these-

First the tall gable box-

I opened up the box and found a leaf shape that I liked that I wanted to substitute.

 I ungrouped the file and separated the heart from the box. I resized the leaf to be about the same size as the heart. I then placed the leaf in the center of the box and then grouped the box and the leaf shape all together.

 Here is the box with the leaf shape in the center instead of the heart. Just right for a little box of fall treats to give to a friend.

 

The steps are the same with this cute box. The original box had 3 hearts on the lid. I used the same leaf shape.

 Ungroup the hearts from the box, resize the leaf to be the same size as the hearts

 Add the leaf shapes to the box and then group the leaf shapes to the box. Cut out as normal.

Here are the files that I used to make these projects:

-Tall Heart Gable Box (LW Shop) (Silhouette)

-No Glue Box Hearts (LW Shop) (Silhouette)

-3 Fall Leaf Set (LW Shop) (Silhouette)

That’s all there is to it! I hope that I have inspired you to stretch your cut files to fit any occasion. The Silhouette machine makes it so easy to customize your cut files. One of the reasons I love my Silhouette so much – I can make it fit to whatever I want to design with a few simple modifications. Thanks for stopping by! Happy Crafting!
