Sharing Tips & Tutorials for my Sewing, Embroidery & Silhouette Cameo creations!
I have been using my Cameo to create stencils for Glass Etching for years! I love it & feel like it gives such impressive results with a minimal amount of effort. However, I had never etched on slate until recently. I realized that EtchAll Etching cream can create a beautiful etch on slate, in addition to glass. (Etchall is my favorite Etching cream – and I’ve tried them all.) So I decided to give it a {Read More}

I don’t know about you – but I love a good sale! And I have to admit that I have spent a lot of time & energy in the past, stalking Amazon on Prime day to see if the things that I need (want) were actually on sale!!

Happy New Year! I’m so excited to be writing this from my studio in my home — after 2 months of living in a lovely Homewood Suites! For those of you who don’t know, when we returned from the All Things Silhouette Conference in November, we opened the door to a burst pipe, running water & a flooded house. So, for the last 2 months, we’ve been dealing with ServPro, insurance adjustors & restoration contractors. But, I’m happy to say that {Read More}
On a recent blog post about Printable Vinyl, I mentioned that I “Double Cut” the vinyl – since it was thicker with the laminate over it. So, that prompted the question from readers – “How do I double cut?” So, today – I want to show you just how to do that! First, when would you want to double cut? Like I mentioned, I was cutting Printable Vinyl, which is already thicker than regular adhesive vinyl, and I had {Read More}
My last post I shared how to fill your shapes and patterns without Designer Edition -but I will tell you — Pattern Fill in Designer Edition makes things so much easier & gives you additional options! The Fill Pattern options allow you to mirror patterns, rotate, scale, pan the pattern around within the filled image, and adjust the pattern’s level of transparency. These advanced features for manipulating patterns can be found in the Advanced Options in the Fill Pattern panel. For {Read More}
We are headed to the Virginia Beach this week, not only to relax on the beach, but also to visit my little grandson! Oh – and his parents!

One that I recently purchased is 20 DIY Watercolor Patterns. It comes with 20 {Read More}
