Get The Most Out fo Your Silhouette - New Video Tutorials

Hello friends, this week I've been busy making some new YouTube tutorials. As our Silhouette Plus Group forum asks questions about certain features or problems; I've been making tutorial to help.

Many of us are visual people and seem to learn more from seeing something done. No, I'm not the best at making tutorials. I get so darn nervous but, as long as they are helping out others to enjoy their Silhouettes more I'll continue to make them.

Please excuse all of the ums, whatevers, and other nervous nelly words. :-)

Here is the link to my YouTube Channel.

I "Hat" to Say Hello

Here is one more cutting file for today. Every month I try to send a card to a special friend. She has had to make a lot of adjustments in her life. Real mail, seems to cheer people up.
This is another Print and Cut, Silhouette Studio file. Inside the card it says: "I just "hat" to send you a little note to say  hello." the tag will remind her of an old favorite of hers; Minnie Pearl. Below you will find the link to download this Print and Cut card file. Happy crafting everyone!

Jumping Ahead To Halloween

Tomorrow, I get to spend the whole day with our new grandaughter so today, I played. I don't know why Halloween jumped into my head but it did. I drew up a little witch; I caller her Witchypoo to make as a Halloween topper. After she was done, I thought it would be nice to have a card made with her too. So this cutting file can be either a topper or a card.

Of course, I want to share it with all of my blog followers. If you click on the link below, you can download this print and cut Silhouette Studio file and get ready for your Halloween crafting real early.

The blank images of Witchypoo and the pumpkin are to line the card and make it sturdier. I usually just use 64 lb. card stock and like to have them sturdier than this.

Tea Time

One of our members at Silhouette Plus was looking for a tea bag holder. After searching the internet for her and finding a couple of links she could try; I thought what the hey, make one for her.

After I made the cutting file; I had to cut a test run too. The picture is the finished sample with my hubby's favorite tea tucked inside. Below the picture is the link for the download of this Silhoutte Studio cutting file.

Celebrating Our Newest Family Member

Our sweet little granddaughter arrived this past Friday. She is so precious. There were some and touch and go moments for both my daughter and sweet Avelyn throughout the pregnancy and delivery. God is good as he has blessed us once again with another beautiful, healthy, grandchild.
Here is a little celebration freebie cutting file. This four pieced scalloped cirlce tag would be great to add to cards. As you can see I used the backgrounds in the Silhouette Studio software. These can easily be changed to your liking. Just click the link below the pictures to download this Silhouette Studio file. Happy crafting everyone!

One More Graphic Freebie

One of our daughters is getting married in Hawaii. I wanted to make her a special wedding card for the occasion. This little Hula Dancer girls grass skirt moves side to side. A home- made wobble is placed behind the skirt to give this action. If you would like to try this out, please feel free to download the .png file and make your own homemade wobble.

Here is a link to a tutorial on how to make the wobbles. I made a tut but it was terrible. I made it with my webcam and it was hard to stay centered and I didn't like looking at myself...lol.

Tutorial for a homemade wobble

Here is a pic of the unfinished wedding card I made for our daughter.. I wish I had a video to show you how cute it looks when her grass skirt wiggles back and forth.

Here is where you can download this little hula dancer girl I want to share with all of you.

A Pixie to Play wiht the Glow Worm

My daughter loves fairies, wood knomes, and pixies. Today, I've been doing nothing but sitting by the phone waiting for some news. It is sort of dull just waiting so, I drew up this little pixie too.It is also yours; if you want it.

You can download the higher resolution image by cliking on the link below the little pixie. I just learned a couple of days ago that all of the files I shared will not always be on FileSwap. If you share something that hasn't been downloaded in a while they are deleted.I'm sorry but, I don't know how long the shares here will be available.
