love is spelled c-a-m-e-o

I've been doing so many things with my Cameo!  It's just too much fun.  It seriously feels like the projects are limitless... I just love it.

It was my friend's birthday this week, and so I of course put my tool to good use!

I used some of my vinyl  on these pretty purple candles.  I thought it turned out fun!

 I made this cute little box to  house some homemade Mississippi Mud Bar

   On her card I used one of my new sketch pens in it for the font.  So fun that is does even more than just cut stuff!

 And then I finished a little project for me!  I felt like my pillows needed changing out again on the couch.  And I really needed to tie in my floral chair a little better.  And (yes there is another one ;) I've really been loving those chevron/herringbone pillows that I keep seeing.  So I totally made one! Actually, two!  :)  Long story short, I used cardstock for the chevron stencil.  Little mod podge on there to seal it a bit, and it worked great to stencil out all those zig-zags with some fabric paint.  I used my special 'stencil vinyl' from Silhouette to make the flower.  I think they turned out so good!  I love how fresh and fun it is for spring :)

 My cute model for my chair that I'm trying to tie in a little better :)

 I  love dahlias

 And then I made a little Valentine gift for both me and the hubs.  An "I love you because..." frame where you can write notes to each other with a dry erase marker.  I think it turned out really pretty.  I'm loving this vinyl stuff.  I've never done much with it before!

My sister has got me dying to sew some clothes... It's on my list of projects to do... There's always such a long line-up!  ;)

Cameo Projects

I've gotten around to doing a few projects with my new Cameo cutter over the last couple weeks.

And it's been SOOO fun!

I just can't wait to do even more with it.  :D

I made a pillow for a really sweet friend we know from college.  This was the first I'd used the heat transfer material.  I absolutely love it.  It's so intricate.  And it's so custom looking.  My favorite part is the 'B' monogram on the bottom.

 I finally got our family silhouettes updated!  It was soooo nice having the machine cut them out.  I think Brian definitely saved my fingers from a gruesome death via exacto knife.  :)  And I had a good time learning some things about the software program.  So many cool things you can do with this...

awww.. those sweet boy profiles :)

 My President in YW just had a baby boy, so I tried cutting out some fabric with it to make her a little quiet book.  I'm definitely going to make one for Hudson too.  :) 

It'd be fun to put these in the works to sell.  Maybe I'll have to take that etsy shop off vacation mode...

This machine is so fabulous.  If you've ever thought about getting something like this, I would highly recommend it.  More projects to come too... I ordered lots of fun things for my birthday from my sweet sweet parents.  :D  Can't wait!!
