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 :-)
