Silhouette Cameo and Vinyl

Hi Everyone,

 

I was fortunate to receive a Silhouette Cameo as an early Christmas present from my wonderful Husband.

 

I originally wanted this machine for 'Print and Cuts' of my images, however I have been inspired to think outside that box and have now discovered 'Vinyl'.

 

I only received my parcels yesterday but was lucky enough to have a play today.

My first 'vinyl' cut was for a message on the front of my cameo, 'Believe'.

I always need to be reminded to 'Believe' in myself and know that I can do it if I give it a try.

 

Here it is:

I was extremely surprised at how easy it was too do.

 

 

I then tried putting the year on the baubles that I created:

 

I was so happy with they way they both turned out.  I don't think that anything is going to be safe from not only copics, but now vinyl.

 

 

Until next time

Washi Washi Washi

Hi Everyone

I don't have a card to share with you today.  Instead I want to share my new Washi Tape holder.

My wonderful hubby made it for me and since putting it into place on my craft desk I have been using the tape as it can now be seen and easily accessed.

Here it is:

I found that the tapes are distorted on the rolls so I decided to make a 'Washi Swatch' so I could see them better.

I placed as strip of washi on  white card.

Well I am off to create and hopefully use more of these wonderful washi tapes.

(If you are wondering where to get some (or all) of these tapes, most of my collection came from

The Papercraft Hub)

Until next time

Copic Multiliner

Hi Everyone

Welcome to a wonderful Friday.

The current challenge over at the Mad for Markers Challenge Blog is ....

COPIC MULTILINERS

I have used these pens quite alot as they work wonderfully with my Copic Markers.

I use them for outlining images and pages, drawing, fixing rub-ons etc.

For today's inspiration I have used the 0.3 multi-liner to fix a digital image I printed then cut with my electronic cutter.

Unfortunately the cutter cut the black edge off the image.

Never mind though, I fixed it with the Copic multiliner.

This is the original image, the black outside line of the image has been cut off.

This is the image after the multiliner.

This is the coloured image.

I have put it into my colour reference book.

Copics Used:

Skin: E0000. E000, E00, E11, R20, Molotow

Pants: B91, B93, B95, B97

Shirt & Hat: R22, R24, R27, R29, R46, R59

Shoes: T3, T5, T8, T10

Cardstock: B93, B95, B97

Don't forget to join us in the Anything Goes Challenge over at the Mad for Markers Challenge Blog.

I have used my copics to colour the Magnolia stamps and resin flowers for embellishments.
