IMG_8091

Today’s YouTube LIVE was loads of fun!!!

I simply loved creating this card  AND I showed how to do it in both Cricut and Silhouette Cameo software.

I have to say….when I made the first prototype I was thinking… eh…yeah….that’s ugly.  BUT when I created the actual card and added some fun embellishments, the card came to LIFE!!  I can’t help but think you’ll agree!!!

Here is the video!

A NEW WEEKLY Challenge for Cricut and Silhouette!!

Hi Everyone!

card challengeWe are starting a new weekly challenge over on my facebook group page:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/cuttingupwithpattyanne/

It is going to be sooo much fun AND we are all going to take our cardmaking skills to the next level with all the practice we will be getting.

I have already posted the first Challenge on the group page.  Here is the video that goes with it.  I hope that you will join us whether you use a Cricut or Cameo!!

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope that everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend (if you live in the US) and didn’t eat tooooo much turkey!  Unfortunately, I either ate too much turkey and stuffing and potatoes and green beans and …. OR it was the three heaping tablespoons of homemade whipped cream on top of the banana pudding, pumpkin pie and brownie that did me in for the day LOL.

Hugs,

PattyAnne

How to Print then Cut 14″ Nutcrackers

These 14″ Print then Cut Nutcrackers were soooo much fun to create. To create them I just grabbed a free image off of google images and brought the images into Silhouette Studio (for either my Cricut Explore Air or my Cameo).

The most fun part was embellishing them!! I can’t wait to use these as part of my decorations this Christmas!!

This post may include affiliate links. I think am going to order the wide format printer below…..

How to Make your own SVGs – LIVE on YouTube

Hey everyone!

I am going to show how to make these images into svgs on YouTube LIVE today.  Not sure of the time so please make sure you are subscribed to my channel AND CLICK the BELL so that you get alerted!

I will be using Silhouette Studio and creating these svgs for ANY machine….much like you can do in Inkscape but it is much easier to use Silhouette Studio (IMHO).

Below are the images we will be working on.  What’s that?  You say you don’t want to create these images??? Not to worry….what you learn in THIS class can be used on ANY image that you’d like (think DISNEY!)

So, please grab these images.  Simply right click on the image and save to your computer so that you can work right along with me!!!

(Hugs!)

Unboxing of the Foil Quill for Cameo, Cricut and ScanNCut

foil quill

Yahoooooo, my Foil Quill arrived this morning and I am really excited to get going with it.  Since a lot of you asked, I wanted to give you a bit of info that I’ve gotten from my research.

Be sure to watch the video at the end of this post where I do the LIVE unboxing!!!

 

 

The following materials can have foil applied to them easily:

  • card stock non textured
  • card stock textured
  • vellum
  • vinyl
  • cotton fabric
  • satin ribbon
  • thin fun foam
  • acetate
  • faux leather

I also found that the following types of foil work well with the Foil Quill

  • Contour creations
  • Spellbinders

Anyhooo, I’m pretty excited to get mine.  Grab yours here!! As I mentioned in the video, I got the smaller ‘set’ so that I could try it out and make sure that I liked how it worked.  If you’d like to take a look at the larger set, click HERE.

I will be testing mine later today and documenting my results with video so stay tuned.

BTW, I’ve ordered my Cameo 4….. are you getting one?? Check it out by clicking on the image below!!
