Print and Cut New Year Party Printables






Hello,  I have a new post over on the Silhouette UK Blog today. It features some ready to print New Year's Printable files. By simply using the Silhouette software's ability to Print and Cut I've created  items to make the party table and guests look super festive!




I used these files from the Silhouette Design Store:

New Year Bottle Kit by Amy Robison (#53314)
New Year Party Kit by Amy Robison (#53315)


My tutorial additionally shows how to update the year so that this file can be used year after year.



With a laser printer you could have all these items glowing with gold foil too!




My favourite item is the mini envelope, cut from vellum, and filled with gold circle confetti.




May you have a HAPPY HOGMANAY and a very, VERY,  HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Here's hoping 2017 will be your best crafting year yet!

Applying Heat Transfer Vinyl to Hessian


HTV Santa Sack on Hessian by Janet Packer for Silhouette Uk Blog


Hello,  Over on the Silhouette UK Blog we are celebrating Christmas with 12 days of fabulous Christmas makes. My post is the 1st Day of Christmas and shows how to decorate a hessian Santa sack. The sacks I decorated don't have a drawstring, so need a band closure and a decorative bow.

I used matt white flock heat transfer material on hessian with just a few silver stars to highlight the design. In the post I take you through how to decorate a Santa sack with designs and fonts from the Silhouette Design Store.

The post contains a number of tricks and tips including how to make the vinyl stick to hessian (which can be a little tricky).

I hope you'll try using HTV on Hessian, Jute, Burlap or cotton canvas and pop over to the Silhouette UK Blog for instructions and hints on using these trickier materials.

Look out for the second day of Christmas on Friday - Nadine has a special treat for you!
