I wanted to say thank you with an extra special card for my sister's new sister-in-law who did our makeup prior to the wedding. I quickly searched makeup on the Silhouette Design Store and found an adorable set called "makeup" by Sarah Bailey (Bonus it looks like it is on sale for .75 today!). I also used my cut file that I already have for box cards by Lori Whitlock.
I spent way to much time selecting papers and resizing the shapes. (It was so fun I didn't realize how much time I was spending). The base color matches the bridesmaid dresses in the wedding (leftover from previous wedding project) Then I assembled my super cute makeup shapes and laid out my card. Final result is so adorable.

Box Card for Halloween - Cameo Silhouette
This weekend I dove into my Halloween Party invitations. I downloaded the Lori Whitlock Halloween Box Card from Silhouette. (Price 1.99 less .50 using my gift card I purchased at 75% - net cost $1.49). I had quite a bit of card stock and ribbons sitting around the house. I did go out and buy some halloween paper.

Didn't they turn out cute! I can't wait for my guests to receive them. I found that assembly line process was most efficient. I cut out all the base card stock and folded it (the download put dotted lines in the cardstock on the folding edges). Then I cut out several squares and semi circles from the halloween print paper. Finally I cut out the haunted houses, fences, bats and graves. Once every thing was cut out my daughter and I sat and assembled them together.
Tomorrow I will show you what I did with the box card pattern next.......

Cameo Silhouette Money Savings
Truely my cameo silhouette is one of the neatest craft tools I have ever owned........ however it really does have a bit of a learning curve to it. Sometimes I'm so frustrated I want to throw it out a window. Sometimes I'm so thrilled with what I've created I want to do a happy dance.
I have had it for 2 years and only recently started to use it regularly. I took a class in making box cards and loved them. Then I spent a small fortune on stickers, flowers, etc. to make some at home, finally I looked at the cameo silhouette and decided if I could figure out how to cut out the shapes I would save myself quite a bit of money. So here I go.
Want to save some money??? I did find one neat trick I want to share. You can buy an Amazon Gift Card for Cameo Silhouette for less than face value of the card. I have no idea why, but I'll save money any place I can. I paid $18.76 for my Silhouette of America Gift Card that's a 25% savings! I have amazon prime so shipping was free. Another note to remember is that every July you get 40% off Christmas downloads. Double savings :-)
