A Thursday CAMEO silhouette Project

 

Happy December my friends! 

On this first day of the month I find myself home with a couple of sick kids. Praying the rest of the month brings health for the rest of the bunch. 

So when Im home with a little time I like to create. This project is for a certain someone for Christmas. She specifically asked for this sign {So I hope she loves it!!}

 I started with a 1x12 cut to 22 in.

 

Painted it black. 

 

I created the design I wanted with my silhouette, cut it out on vinyl and placed it on the piece of board. I then painted white over the entire piece. After it had dried I peeled off my vinyl and sanded lightly over the entire piece. 

I then added a little door knocker that I thought was cute.

 

May today be full of blessings for you and your family!

You are the Sprinkles to My Cupcake

 

 Creating with my hands gives me freedom of the mind, helps to refresh me, equips me to be better and makes me smile! 

Here are two super fun 2x4 signs that I made. Aren't they the cutest?!

 

What You Need to Do:

Prepare your scraps of wood by cutting to size and sanding. Then paint them and distress to your liking. Use your Cameo Silhouette or similar tool to cut out a phrase of your choice and apply it to your block of wood. 

It's a fun way to display a piece of wood that would have been otherwise in the trash pile.

DIY ST. Patricks Day Decor

 

ST. Patrick's Day is such a fun holiday!

We love to wear green at hour house, make green breakfast, lunch and dinner and feel the Luck of the Irish.

Here's a quick little project I made to have on display for the month of March.

I cut out the below image on my Silhouette, on green vinyl.

 I spray painted a 8x10 piece of canvas gold and added a little gold glitter on the edges. Once it was dry I put my vinyl image on the painted surface.

 And it looks great! Cadence was so excited and has been showing everyone our new addition :)

Re-Purposed Valentine's Decor

 

Valentine's Day is a little over 15 day's away! 

I decided to do a little re-purposing today... I had this cute heart that I bought at a craft fair several years ago. It's a bit faded from hanging on the front door and one of the pieces had fallen off.

 I paint the heart pink...

 

I then used  my silhouette and created a little word art.

 I then cut out my words and put my contact paper on top. With this step it's really important that you rub and rub over the top of your letters to make the process of peeling them off of the backing easier.

 I then placed them on my heart where I wanted them (I used a level and ruler to make sure they we're sitting correctly). Then rub and rub some more. Once you have rubbed to your hearts content you can peel the contact paper off.

 PERFECTION!

 I also added a little ribbon just for a little flair.

 

 Have a great day!
