Sometimes I decide what to make by starting with the cut file and sometimes I decide by starting with the blank apparel garment. In the case of this jacket, I had been holding on to this design that was drawn by hand for a long time. I had been waiting and waiting for the perfect jacket to put this on. I already knew exactly what I wanted, but hadn’t found the right jacket yet.

Ever since buying our house, our porch has seemed a little bare, but I hate finding a place to store large home decorations, even if we have the space for it. Knowing all of this, I knew the best thing would be to create something that had a dual purpose for our porch. I settled on a wooden reversible porch sign that featured a winter design as well as a year-round, welcome design. Now, our porch will look great all year, and I’ll never have to dig for this 6’ board in my basement. ;) 

When we started working on the tablescape project, we knew we had to try our hand at glass etching. The nice thing about having a Silhouette Cameo is that the projects you can create are endless. Did you know that you can actually use adhesive vinyl to create a stencil for use with glass etching? That’s right, with just your Silhouette, etching cream, and OraCal 651, you can create a gorgeous etched design, that’s permanent and dishwasher safe.
