O Holy Night - Free Standing Nativity

Hi everyone!  It's Suzanne here today with this week's new cutting files over at the Silhouette America Design Store.  This is the whole set.  So far.  Do you think I need more figures?

We can't have more than 2 items in a single design file, so you will find these as five separate files. These figures stand on their own, so you can move them around and play with them.  Cut a whole flock of sheep if you think your arrangement needs them!

These were all cut with the Silhouette Cameo from American Craft Smooth Cardstock in Coffee colour.

Manger and Stable

 

Joseph and Mary

 

Shepherd and Lamb

 

Wise Men

 

Donkey and Camel

 

 

Designer Tip: Sometimes a little Glue Dot on the bottom of the base works wonders for those stubborn figures that want to fall over.  I'm talking to you, Donkey!

Happy cutting and a very Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!
Suzanne

Peace On Earth - May You Have - Easel

Yogi here today with an easel card using one of the newest digital cutting files from Suzanne as a focal point. These words just begged to be made big...

This is what the file looks like available on the Silhouette onLine store

I'm also using a quote from Quietfire Design "May You Have The Gladness..."

Scored, and folded my golden toned beige cardstock to create the easel (6"w x 6"h). Cut another piece the same size as my card and adhered to front.

Electronically cut the "Peace on Earth" using SCAL (Sure Cuts a Lot software) and my Silhouette machine, sizing it to 5.8"h from white cardstock and while still on my mat, painted with Distress Dabbers "Tarnished Brass" acrylic paint. Removed from mat. Cut a shadow layer and painted that with "Black Soot", Adhered both layers together. Inked with Versamark and clear embossed then adhered it to my amethyst toned ribbed foil cardstock. Trimmed down and adhered to front. Added a multi loop Sari ribbon bow.

On the Floor: Used my Misti to stamp the poinsettia (Penny Black "Scarlet Majesty") on HP watercolor paper using Distress pads ("Victorian Velvet" all over the flowers; "Dusty Concord" at the base and on berries; "Shabby Shutters" on the leaves; "Forest Moss" on stems and accents; "Mustard Seed" on the center), misted with water and stamped. Misted with more water and stamped again. Moved around some areas with a wet paint brush. Dried. Trimmed down. Stamped the quote using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Sponged some purple around the edges. Added white pencil mark detail on the berries and Perfect Pearls "Butterscotch" dots to the center. Adhered to a piece of cardstock then on to floor using 3D foam tape to act as my stopper.

As a final touch, added the mini square amethyst rhinestones to the corners.

Holiday Snack Signs!

Santa Snacks Here Sign - Silhouette Design Store

A sign of the holidays?  Yes!  And holiday signs, too.
It's Suzanne here and I was working on some digital cutting designs last night (yes, this is what I do on Friday nights!) and uncovered these projects that I designed a couple of years ago.  Sometimes I just crack myself up!  I better take a set of these to our kidlets when we visit at Christmas.  It's important the reindeer know where to get their goodies.  They have to keep up their strength.

To make these, all you have to do is pop a piece of cardstock on the cutting mat and away you go!  You'll be all ready for Christmas Eve.

The Silhouette Sale is on now till December 5, 2016.  All designs are half price!  Yay!

So what do you leave out for the big fellow and his assistants?

Winter Love Polar Bear Bendy Card, In the midst of winter

Hi Y'all, Robyn here jumping on the Bendi Card bandwagon!

Winter Love Polar Bear Bendi Card

All Holiday files on sale till Dec 5!

In the mist of winter

On the mat

The squares are cut in black to create the face shadow. Suzanne thinks of everything!

The original file has a Print and Cut sentiment.

Printer fail ( are you listening Santa?) led to the silver thermal embossed stamped sentiment.

The beauty of digital cutting is with a minimum of effort you can customize, size, color, placement of every element and really make the project your own.

I'd love (pun intended) to see yours!

Please post on our FB page.
