<span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi everyone! I’m so chuffed with the card I
made for my friend Anisje’s wedding, I just had to share it with you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I thought about a card for the
wedding, I immediately went to <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/store/">Bird’s Design Stor</a>e to look for ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you know, I really like the <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=83&product_id=208">Love Bird</a>s
design – see my posts on where I used it <a href="https://nickywithstripes.blogspot.co.za/2017/03/anniversary-card.html">here</a> and <a href="https://nickywithstripes.blogspot.co.za/2017/08/monicas-bachelorette-gift.html">here</a> – so I had that
in the back of my mind. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

I decided to keep the envelope quite plain. I used the basic envelope design
provided in the pack, but removed the detail. I have a punch that I used on the
back, and I added some gold stickers and a simple label to the front – after
all, everyone knows who the gift is for!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi everyone! Do you remember the <a href="http://nickywithstripes.blogspot.co.za/2017/08/theas-baby-shower.html">unicorn baby-gro</a> I made for little Thea? Well I'm back again with the same design, but used in a different way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My sister asked me to make a few T-shirts for a special little girl called Faith. Faith is 5, likes pink, purple and "sparkly things"! She also likes My Little Pony, but I thought we'd glam it up a notch and do a unicorn design for her.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used the <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=211">Fantasy Foals</a> collection from Bird's SVGs. Click on the link for Thea's unicorn baby-gro to read about how I altered the unicorn design to make a stencil. This time I used the same design, but altered the horn a little. </span></div>

wanted to use them as a tag on the gift bag. To make the tag, I used the
scalloped circles from the Welcome Easel Card in the <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=80&product_id=192">Bundle of Joy </a>collection and added the love birds to the front. I cut it all out of different cardboard,
to match the gift bag I’d chosen. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On Saturday I attended a bachelorette for my good friend Anisje.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Instead of the usual underwear, I wanted to make her a personalised gift, and so I made a wedding kit for her.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anisje is Afrikaans, so I used Afrikaans on her gifts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First of all I made some hangers for her to use on her wedding day - they read "Bride" and "Groom" and I hope they'll add an extra something special to the photos of the outfits.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next, I made a little trinket tray for Anisje to store her rings in. I also do an English version of this (with "Mrs" in the design), but this one read "Mev" (short for Mevrou, the Afrikaans version of Mrs).</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lastly, I made a bag for Anisje to use on her wedding day (and afterwards, of course).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The front of the bag says "Nou gaan ons trou" which translates roughly as "We're getting married", but is also a play on a common South African expression, "Nou gaan ons braai".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi everyone. I'm excited to share with you a lovely baby-gro I was recently asked to make for a dear friend's baby shower.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Little Thea is due in September, and when my friend Anisje asked me to make a gift, the brief was "pink, sparkly, unicorns!" Well, with such an amazing brief, I couldn't go wrong!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And then, to make things even more perfect, Bird of Birds SVGs released her new <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=211">Fantasy Foals</a> collection featuring....unicorns! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now I've used some of Bird's designs as stencils in the past, so I immediately downloaded the set and opened the envelope cut file.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt7BP_No59mVlDevP5QeJOhJ3VJ8GtbE6NvaU7OKwpuoC35c9I7Z6esoWe2UEhFRyYepsg3gbnK3GfsmJ0mrd57pfhBKQDhzr0gTLT6ZZDaem1_macAylXe9sBbl1AnPz4_4DgME8NdsM5/s1600/Screenshot+%252844%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1366" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt7BP_No59mVlDevP5QeJOhJ3VJ8GtbE6NvaU7OKwpuoC35c9I7Z6esoWe2UEhFRyYepsg3gbnK3GfsmJ0mrd57pfhBKQDhzr0gTLT6ZZDaem1_macAylXe9sBbl1AnPz4_4DgME8NdsM5/s640/Screenshot+%252844%2529.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This gave me a great unicorn negative, which I could use as my stencil. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I then removed the actual envelope, and coloured the unicorn grey to see it better on my screen. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEPYgakbj8ogZR-86KuRtSMfHYqargPc-NUfKgj5MokbnI7E1NiP-oXe3aCIBfrL_MTWmzIdm0h6-8R3BcsMtS6oZywY-yW5lbBohcfUDP2iovarsF73ZpKLPGqHbnTAEykbnIBDnuPd22/s1600/Screenshot+%252845%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1366" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEPYgakbj8ogZR-86KuRtSMfHYqargPc-NUfKgj5MokbnI7E1NiP-oXe3aCIBfrL_MTWmzIdm0h6-8R3BcsMtS6oZywY-yW5lbBohcfUDP2iovarsF73ZpKLPGqHbnTAEykbnIBDnuPd22/s640/Screenshot+%252845%2529.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought the unicorn eyelashes from the main card design looked cute, so I imported these as well.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJxKz98YyrGALA4zE1M62ev4obFxIX9gbns2rFedZXN2qpOeYBwXZe6Nxav4Jc65XL7u8w5eveqzUlTReEviFg3wiclQ8_2gi3DvPhyNUYHSkiLhtWKitrmThIO_TdEFhEnDgjYRy_We-W/s1600/Screenshot+%252846%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1366" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJxKz98YyrGALA4zE1M62ev4obFxIX9gbns2rFedZXN2qpOeYBwXZe6Nxav4Jc65XL7u8w5eveqzUlTReEviFg3wiclQ8_2gi3DvPhyNUYHSkiLhtWKitrmThIO_TdEFhEnDgjYRy_We-W/s640/Screenshot+%252846%2529.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I added the eyelashes and Thea's name below - and there we have it, a perfect stencil!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh7O0WWcQ9QZ-I-wvHhYUZreGHfIZDNQgM_JC46Ropcb1jm4QpFTSCWBN9L_SVjMPTa5FzRc5Dt1rHbjVvSIKEAgprMnc3IWCUiu5XTwjCPlxfoI2A73-R797x9S9IjmwK15Ax6h9wv3VJ/s1600/Screenshot+%252848%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1366" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh7O0WWcQ9QZ-I-wvHhYUZreGHfIZDNQgM_JC46Ropcb1jm4QpFTSCWBN9L_SVjMPTa5FzRc5Dt1rHbjVvSIKEAgprMnc3IWCUiu5XTwjCPlxfoI2A73-R797x9S9IjmwK15Ax6h9wv3VJ/s640/Screenshot+%252848%2529.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I cut it out of contact paper (see my post on making stencils from contact paper <a href="http://nickywithstripes.blogspot.co.za/2014/03/using-contact-paper-to-stencil.html?q=stencil">here</a>) and applied it to the pink baby-gro.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I thought it needed a little extra sparkle (it was part of the brief, after all), so I added some gold dots around the unicorn, using the back of a paintbrush.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi everyone! It's my dad's birthday on the 27th and I wanted to make a really special card for him. So I headed over to <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/store/index.php?route=common/home">Birds SVG's design store</a> and selected the <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=82&product_id=189">Simply the Best</a> collection.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I altered things a little, because I wanted a big shiny 60 on the front. For the paper backing I used a page from an old book I found in a second-hand store - I love old paper.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't usually watch Bird's how-to videos that she posts with her designs (I generally just figure it out on my own) but this one looked a little tricky, so I watched her video and managed to put everything together with no problem at all. Thanks for an awesome video, Bird!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm sure my dad will like this card - can't wait to see him next weekend! And before you ask, no, he's not on Facebook, so he won't see this post!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi everyone! Wow, it’s been a busy few weeks, but I’m very
excited to share some things with you today.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I absolutely LOVE making personalized gifts – it is so
special to give someone a gift that is completely unique to them. My latest
favourite (sparked by all the new babies in the family) is personalized baby
gifts, especially baby gros (onesies to our American friends). But I’ve
expanded my repertoire to also include blankets, bibs, socks and hats.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The hardest part is picking the design! Generally, the
baby-gro designs I choose are divided into 3 categories:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">1. The baby’s name (of course, you need to know
this upfront). I’ve also done a few with initials</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After downloading the files, I split up all the layers and moved the actual box sections off my main page in Silhouette Studio, leaving just the card elements behind.

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi
everyone! Today I want to share some progress I’ve been making with my
printers…as well as my new take on Project Life…and how to make awesome photo
collages…and cheapskate printing techniques!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Remember I
bought myself an A3+ printer last year? You can read all about how I came to
choose this piece of equipment <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1339702745799828822#editor/target=post;postID=2964570107386824171;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=10;src=postname" target="_blank">here</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Well since
then I’ve also made a few discoveries concerning printing using the Silhouette
Studio Software (SSS). With these powers combined (who remembers Captain
Planet?) I’ve been coming up with awesome, quick and easy scrapbooking pages.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, it
started with my new Project Life album. This year, for the first time ever, I
managed to get hold of the proper Project Life sleeves and decided to give this
thing a try. I’d been rocking my own Project Life albums for a few years, but
did find it tedious trying to fit everything onto a page each week – there was
a lot of cutting and resizing involved. So this year I went totally legit and
got my hands on the plastic sleeves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">BUT I now
needed to work out how to fit my photos into the PL format. Some weeks I have
lots of pictures, and there just wasn’t space to print them all 4x3 or 4x6. The

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started
designing them with an online photo editor called Fotor. Fotor is great, but I
was bleak that I couldn’t add all the cool details I had in SSS. Also I often
had issues printing the Fotor pictures the right size for my albums.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don’t
know why I’ve resisted printing with SSS for so long – I had this idea that
adding photos into SSS would decrease their quality – wow, I was wrong! The
quality remains perfect, better than through some photo programmes I’ve used.
And there are huge advantages – I can create my own templates and drag and drop
photos into them – that’s how I did the one above. And here’s another one<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And this
leads me to my A3 printing endeavours. Now that I know I can resize my photos
in SSS and print them that way, I thought it would be smart to design
scrapbooking layouts in SSS, put in all the photos, then group and print the
photos separately and print the scrapbooking page on my A3 printer. Whew, that
sounds a bit much – trust me, it’s really easy. Let me show you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wanted to
do a layout on Christmas Day. I had a lot of photos, so reverted to my old
stand-by: lots of small squares.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I designed
the layout in SSS. I added a title in the middle and text down the side. This I
would print directly onto a white 12x12 scrapbooking sheet. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I
added in my squares. I did this the same way I made my A4 calendar earlier this
year – see the tutorial <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=1339702745799828822#editor/target=post;postID=9036697925117398278;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=4;src=postname" target="_blank">here</a>. Because you’re printing the photos through
SSS, you can make these any size you like – as you can see, some of mine ended
up not being squares in the end<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next came
the fun part – drag and drop photos. I use the Silhouette Designer Edition,
which I would really recommend. With this I can just open a folder and drag and
drop pictures from it onto my design<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In
hindsight, a good idea would have been to do an internal offset of the squares
(so they were a bit smaller than the actual pictures) and print the outline
very faintly onto the 12x12 page – this would have helped me when it came time
to stick down the photos. Well, we live and learn! I did that with the next page I made<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi everyone! This post is about something I worked on a while ago, but wanted to wait until the mom had received the gift before I posted. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've made a mini-album for a family friend showcasing some pictures of her little boy. Now, some moms don't like pictures of their little ones on social media, so out of respect for this I've only shared a few photos here, and none showing little one's face - so there is more to the album, but I though you'd enjoy a sneaky-peek.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello
everyone! I was recently involved in hosting my friend Christy’s baby shower.
I’ve been so keen to share all of the things I designed, but had to keep it
quiet until after the shower. But now I finally get to brag about all of the
fun things I did!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First of
all, I needed to think of a theme – this was easy: Christy (the mom-to-be)
loves buttons, and even refers to the baby as Button, so I HAD to go with a
button theme! As soon as I decided on this, I headed over to my friend Bird’s
site and found the <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=35">Seamstress Collection</a>,
which I remembered had a button cut file.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I kept one
button file the same, and altered it slightly to make a second, two-holed
button. These formed the basis of my décor. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The colours
for the shower were done to match Button’s room: mint, coral and grey. Here’s
the invite I sent out, as well as the gift ideas and registry information. Both
were designed in Silhouette Studio. Address removed to protect the lovely lady
(Jeni) who let us use her house for the shower. Jeni also took a lot of the
beautiful pictures at the shower – if she weren’t such a talented <a href="http://www.jawdesign.co.za/">graphic designer</a>, I’d say she should have been a photographer!

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But back to
the details. Once I’d settled on a theme and colours, as well as a font, I
tried to keep these throughout – you’ll see them again in all the little signs
and things I added to the shower. I think this game everything a nice,
consistent look.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the
food, Christy’s mom took care of most of it, but asked me to make a sign that
said “About to Pop!” to go in front of the popcorn. Nice one Lucy! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After I
found a baby-gro cookie cutter at a baking shop, I had an idea to make a
baby-gro biscuit decorating station. Inspired by the onesie decorating stations
at American baby showers, this version would have plain biscuits for people to
ice in the baby colours – as well as some awesome sprinkles to add! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

topic of food and biscuits, I made a button biscuit for everyone to take home
as a party favour and thank you gift. Again, I used my Silhouette Studio
software to make the thank you tab at the top, and I just stapled this onto the
Ziploc bag. Jeni had the idea of spreading the biscuits out as part of the
décor, and they looked really good.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the
subject of décor, I decided to make some decorative chains to drape around the
room. I cut larger buttons out of coral, mint and grey card using my Silhouette
Cameo machine. Then I got <s>cheap</s> creative and sent hubby to the hardware
store to grab me paint swatches in the right colours. And then I went myself,
because it turns out men are not so good at knowing what colour coral is! Armed
with my paint swatches (the big ones, without any lines) and my circle punch, I
quickly added a lot of circles to my pile – and they didn’t cost me anything!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Using
fishing nylon, I glued buttons and circles back to back to make long strings,
with a loop on each end. Here’s a good tip: if you’re making a chain/string of
something and don’t want it to get tangled when you pack it away, put it all
into a Ziploc bag and then stick the end piece out of the bag, closing the bag
on the string to hold it in place. Then when you want to use it, you grab the
string before opening the bag, and simply pull everything out. Easy! No more
tangled strings!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

to the games! We had three games, but only one of them involved some sort of
design work. The first was to get Christy to dress a baby doll – blindfolded!
She did a pretty good job, although the nappy kept slipping!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

a quiz, with sweeties thrown out to the winners. Lots of fun, and very
interesting to see who knew what. Do you know the name of Dora the Explorer’s
pet monkey? Or what Barbie’s first outfit was?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

game was Baby Bingo. For this I used my Silhouette Studio to design a bingo

grids had identical combinations of symbols, but my logically-minded hubby
helped me with that! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One really
nice idea that I wanted to share with you was a different take on the
traditional baby wishes jar. I’m not sure about where you come from, but here
it’s quite common to have a jar and ask people to write wishes for the new
baby. I liked this idea, but then my mom came up with something else (she’s
pretty creative, isn’t she? Must be where I get it from!). Instead of wishes
for baby, we did advice cards for certain ages. These would be sealed in
matching envelopes, for Baby Button to open on the appropriate birthday. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

over at <a href="http://www.unoriginalmom.com/best-baby-shower-gift-ever/">Unoriginal Mom</a> has always advocated the Baby File as “The best baby shower gift
EVER!” and I decided now was the time to make one myself. I bought an accordion
file and personalized the tabs inside to include spaces for things like birth
certificates, vaccination records, warranties, parenting advice and keepsakes.
Because we don’t know Button’s name yet, I cut the words “Baby File” out of
white vinyl and adhered it to the front, along with some button vinyls. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided on grey for the body of the horse, with dark charcoal for the mane, tail and rocker. I cut out two sets of these.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRuFraSyvgZC_wRAXjHLB0icbGaGLBwU190DfTOasIqRNlQutIHQmttUe7bxlANaonjxTUgxiBna2ScbstK6b8rMBoN1ltexWyKtdFiK4_KCGR1ths8SXKWMZv51_QwBDFZY9ggtGmyVFX/s1600/IMG_4286.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRuFraSyvgZC_wRAXjHLB0icbGaGLBwU190DfTOasIqRNlQutIHQmttUe7bxlANaonjxTUgxiBna2ScbstK6b8rMBoN1ltexWyKtdFiK4_KCGR1ths8SXKWMZv51_QwBDFZY9ggtGmyVFX/s640/IMG_4286.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Because the base cards were quite shimmery, I was worried pen wouldn't show up, so I cut an inner piece in white for the message to go on. I also cut the mane and bridle from white.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEFtAPqOX4_vSep1GV7ZOjAmTa8EAI5iW4Xdo668nncZ4Cfw3kyYpt6FCARden4GDTLZs3UMq4CbO_bIt-9Q6CZuTnBGrVg7_3K-NoAkAYaJ5ec4mL41BbkuMA8R1udmh7ITT_n_HNO3XV/s1600/IMG_4287.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEFtAPqOX4_vSep1GV7ZOjAmTa8EAI5iW4Xdo668nncZ4Cfw3kyYpt6FCARden4GDTLZs3UMq4CbO_bIt-9Q6CZuTnBGrVg7_3K-NoAkAYaJ5ec4mL41BbkuMA8R1udmh7ITT_n_HNO3XV/s640/IMG_4287.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Lastly, I found some pretty patterned paper to match my base colours, and cut out the last section from these. I decided not to cut out the "baby" sign - which turned out to be a mistake, but more on that later!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I added the patterned paper to the base cards...</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And the white inners as well</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRrYnClHaC5sv6mlJUJFAg_GBG8E6sGWMd6L-mm8ekdz0og3V1YuDgA4bHfSyTyUBdGM5Jueqy-X07WchU481bQzGjH_SquDMOyexpugixhtZ1mH8e_VngAaOxqU-yCIimkZoquQRSCo4/s1600/IMG_4293.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZRrYnClHaC5sv6mlJUJFAg_GBG8E6sGWMd6L-mm8ekdz0og3V1YuDgA4bHfSyTyUBdGM5Jueqy-X07WchU481bQzGjH_SquDMOyexpugixhtZ1mH8e_VngAaOxqU-yCIimkZoquQRSCo4/s640/IMG_4293.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And then I assembled my cards! Turned out it looked a bit empty at the bottom without the "baby" sentiment, so I used a punch I had to add in the letters. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the one for little Grayson...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And the best thing about these cards? They actually rock!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The cards were so popular at the baby showers, and both moms-to-be loved them - here's a picture taken at Grayson's shower - which led me to think that these would also make AMAZING decor pieces at a baby shower, if you made a few of them, or even a great cake topper!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello everyone! Today I want to share with
you another calendar post – yes, I’ve been making many calendars recently!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one is different because it is a one
page year-to-view calendar. I love having my month to month calendars, but I
also find it useful to have the whole year up in one place – especially at
work.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once again, I created a basic template for
my calendar, and then I was able to personalize it with photos. I used a few of
these calendars as gifts, as well as put one up at my desk at work.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you’d like to make one yourself, follow
along with me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Firstly, set your layout size to A4 (or
whatever size you want to print).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The most time-consuming part is putting in
the actual calendar part. I used the calendars I’d designed for my <a href="http://nickywithstripes.blogspot.co.za/2017/01/calendars.html" target="_blank">mini desktop calendars</a>. I tried many versions of importing a calendar, but none of
them worked, so in the end I had to bite the bullet and construct each month’s
dates from scratch. If you have a more efficient method, please share it!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whilst I used Amatic font for the year and
month (one of my favourite free fonts!), I wanted to make super certain that my
numbers were legible, especially as they were going to be pretty small, so I
used Candara for those. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I then created a grid of 9 blocks, equally

came the fun part – adding the photos! It was tricky deciding on just 8 photos,

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’ve recently upgraded to the Designer
Edition of Silhouette Studio. One of the great features of this is that it lets
you drag and drop pictures/patterns into the studio. So all I had to do was
click on a picture and drag it into the appropriate block. The software even
resizes the photo for you! If you don’t like the placement, however, you can go

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi everyone! I'm back with an adaptation of one of Bird's designs, her new <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=65&product_id=207" target="_blank">Festive Gems</a> collection.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzfPRGXPLbFd5CZx9FL-Nw99bZD_FzrdwAggAjVJAj0WX-2LinoK4tZeLwYoo-l_4kIOsDESt0CepL2diRETXBnsxbA7eKgSMOqq8gPP-ZMXZIBPxxzsfLeVGpqleDbSEEhrmIvIOKzJql/s1600/Untitled.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzfPRGXPLbFd5CZx9FL-Nw99bZD_FzrdwAggAjVJAj0WX-2LinoK4tZeLwYoo-l_4kIOsDESt0CepL2diRETXBnsxbA7eKgSMOqq8gPP-ZMXZIBPxxzsfLeVGpqleDbSEEhrmIvIOKzJql/s640/Untitled.png" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I used the tree design, which also comes with an envelope. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSwRQ8-F81hmnwZiWE3Sp7hMf6mjbhKF4pPHIecRwIEXbisDGBjy8Q44CHuwF6R1v8lnqOy-UIwc6oBtDa6BV7SX-4DyojGBH_dBBuVSJtODQ8JtreY1dw_bPaDsYk_TTLA-PYEbtp_Ze/s1600/Screenshot+%252876%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipSwRQ8-F81hmnwZiWE3Sp7hMf6mjbhKF4pPHIecRwIEXbisDGBjy8Q44CHuwF6R1v8lnqOy-UIwc6oBtDa6BV7SX-4DyojGBH_dBBuVSJtODQ8JtreY1dw_bPaDsYk_TTLA-PYEbtp_Ze/s640/Screenshot+%252876%2529.png" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I ungrouped the design and just changed the colour to make it easier to work with.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My plan was to cut out the tree, and use it as a mask. A mask is when you cut out basically a stencil, which you can use to apply paint or ink. But I was going to use it as a guide to apply some bling - so I measured the bling and then resized the tree accordingly. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFGZY20i6f_mEM8wpubpTYP3cWWbEX5KYDoXvIYbfjg2_OtmaMQygmCjZ5faWCnJjHTfW93YWmXQqA1MQSf6958E-84ftXUO6AIoQbRN5TP-Auqax1eAl8gaq-Rwc3m9WaHlzF9KY1GUfT/s1600/IMG_4307.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFGZY20i6f_mEM8wpubpTYP3cWWbEX5KYDoXvIYbfjg2_OtmaMQygmCjZ5faWCnJjHTfW93YWmXQqA1MQSf6958E-84ftXUO6AIoQbRN5TP-Auqax1eAl8gaq-Rwc3m9WaHlzF9KY1GUfT/s640/IMG_4307.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I added a frame around the tree, because then I can keep the mask when I'm done and use it for a card or something - waste not!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4HWPmk-R5lDuhHgfF5vZ78taQ5WRghUR__CfHak70niiCvjfPYm5_kx99MkNljlU_EzMDQ0rn9dxRHrM1gaKqjzhyphenhyphen0RZZ-s9_zuNLs2kdLpsZwYtFZTl1tCl_itiy5dYVfWIMUEb29wuk/s1600/Screenshot+%252877%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4HWPmk-R5lDuhHgfF5vZ78taQ5WRghUR__CfHak70niiCvjfPYm5_kx99MkNljlU_EzMDQ0rn9dxRHrM1gaKqjzhyphenhyphen0RZZ-s9_zuNLs2kdLpsZwYtFZTl1tCl_itiy5dYVfWIMUEb29wuk/s640/Screenshot+%252877%2529.png" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Cut out, it looked like this</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3hiIlUznlrKhhQEU6KSlIVFlpRTcO4s8c5hSP72d8_GLqETbLhS6LeWexOBsXlhg70uGTD308fyxfSvkEd1xbhQaYs3-FIb701j0tuuzlAEkZwD8imLpmxt3Y8Eww_OaM9w5etQFBtVBu/s1600/IMG_4310.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3hiIlUznlrKhhQEU6KSlIVFlpRTcO4s8c5hSP72d8_GLqETbLhS6LeWexOBsXlhg70uGTD308fyxfSvkEd1xbhQaYs3-FIb701j0tuuzlAEkZwD8imLpmxt3Y8Eww_OaM9w5etQFBtVBu/s320/IMG_4310.JPG" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I then applied it to my scrapbooking page as a guideline </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRjqIhuzSAp52SNHRkh2Mru-rJvd7UHrVURVjTimLretZReNhu768kRhLq_zUWuuCh4ZftUNEiU5ZHayLQhjU-SNtxTGm2chRygWZn8hEqATeRJ5O5_I43Rreu7dsbX3WWrWuaP7jMBF1s/s1600/IMG_4312.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRjqIhuzSAp52SNHRkh2Mru-rJvd7UHrVURVjTimLretZReNhu768kRhLq_zUWuuCh4ZftUNEiU5ZHayLQhjU-SNtxTGm2chRygWZn8hEqATeRJ5O5_I43Rreu7dsbX3WWrWuaP7jMBF1s/s640/IMG_4312.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I got a few of my dimensions wrong (ie I couldn't actually fit my bling through all the holes), but it still worked as a guide for my bling tree. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I kept going, adding different sizes of pearls and bling. These sparklies have a sticky backing, and they come from China Town so they're really cheap, but I love the dimension they add to a page. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbBuVodONN9_C07rwKQXfaUq09TOYBKshs0pXwKyCzW34nMOw2NPKHxUK7Z1WIwd8sMvPpCWf1fBuAGugB9tOjXtHyPQhRLTlq83LPGXEGfPjtpkYzUvSm7WFmqDBYHJpPmUDmNGvANrC7/s1600/IMG_4313.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbBuVodONN9_C07rwKQXfaUq09TOYBKshs0pXwKyCzW34nMOw2NPKHxUK7Z1WIwd8sMvPpCWf1fBuAGugB9tOjXtHyPQhRLTlq83LPGXEGfPjtpkYzUvSm7WFmqDBYHJpPmUDmNGvANrC7/s640/IMG_4313.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How fantastic does this look when it's finished? I added a vinyl Merry Christmas, and a pot for the base of the tree, and that was it - a fantastic page of me and my two favourite people, my hubby and my sister.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I made these last year and sold a number to
friends and colleagues. I also gave some as gifts – a nice way to start the
year, don’t you think?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now, I have to share with you what my
friend Ayanda said when another friend of ours showed her the calendars, which
were available to order – “Why do I want to spend the year looking at pictures
of Nicky and her husband?” :D As I explained to Ayanda, the great thing about
these calendars is that they are customizable – so I asked people for 12
pictures and then included these in the calendars. Of course, if you’d like to
look at pictures of me and my sexy husband all year, that can be arranged too! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi everyone! As Christmas approaches I
thought I would share some pictures of my Christmas gift wrapping process. Now
I love gifts, and I love a beautifully wrapped gift – it’s just so much more
exciting! This year I decided to go with kraft paper in brown and red for all
my gifts, and then jazz it up with pretty decorations.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Let me talk you through my process<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here we have a gift wrapped in plain kraft
paper. No clues as to what’s inside, but I can tell you it’s not a pony!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi everyone! I’m back with something a
little different today.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last month was bonus time – yay! And I got
a little something extra for all my hard work this year – yay! So I thought I
would treat myself, and starting thinking of all the scrapbooking goodies I’ve
had my eye on for a while.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A few years back I used my bonus money to
buy my Silhouette Cameo machine. What an amazing decision – as you’ve seen,
it’s changed my life and my crafting style forever. So I got thinking about
other machines out there which could enhance my crafting.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There are things like a Cricut machine
which I dismissed instantly – my Cameo does all that and more. The Cuttlebug
embossing press was not that appealing, nor was the Xyron sticker maker. But
there were two machines that caught my eye.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first in the Silhouette Mint, a small
little machine, part of the Silhouette family, which makes stamps.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What do I mean, “makes stamps”? Well as you
know, the Cameo is capable of cutting stamp material for you to make your own
stamps. There are a few downsides to this:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Any stamp you cut does not have a
backing, so you can’t have “floating” pieces of stamp. So whilst this would be
possible to cut out with the stamp material…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. The material does not make friends with
all stamping inks, meaning you’re pretty bound to the Silhouette black ink, or
a faded version of your other ink pads. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But on the plus side, the material is easy
to use, affordable and readily available. I’ve used it myself, and I do enjoy
it, but I was on the lookout for something that allows me to make more complex
designs. Enter the Mint, and what I thought was the solution to my problems.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Silhouette Mint allows you to create a
stamp with a lot more detail than the stamp material. In a sense it etches the
stamp for you, so you get a solid piece emerging from the machine, which you
can then adhere to a stamping block. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The reviews also say that once you’ve
applied the ink (and you can do this in different colour combos too, not just
one solid colour), the stamp will stamp up to 50 designs before you have to
re-ink it. This was sounding good!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But after doing a bit more digging, I came
up with more negatives than positives:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. The cost. At R2200, this little machine
is not cheap. But maybe the other features would sway me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. The machine comes with about 4 pieces of
stamping material. After that, you need to buy more, which is both expensive
and difficult to find. Bit of a let-down after you’ve made your first four
stamps.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. You have to use special Silhouette ink.
Also, whilst the manufacturers boast that the ink “lasts for 50 stampings” I
think this is only an advantage if you’re doing a business logo, or wrapping
paper or something. I want, for example, a little happy birthday stamp that I
can use once off on a card – but there’d be a lot of ink wastage if I did this. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Because you have to use the Silhouette
inks, the first few prints are a bit blotchy – not what I’m after.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As you can see, I wasn’t completely sold on
the idea of the Mint. When I think about buying
a new “machine”, I like to look at certain core things, such as <b>base
price</b>, the<b> price and availability of consumables </b>(like ink, paper, blades, etc)
and <b>the range of activities you can perform </b>with this machine. On this test my
Silhouette Cameo ticked all the boxes, but the Mint didn’t.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next machine I considered was the Heidi
Swapp Minc. Hitting the market at the height of the gold phase (have you seen how many gold/copper and bling
things there are in the shops?), the Minc was definitely appealing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Basically, it acts as a sort of laminating
machine, but instead of sealing your design in plastic, it applies shiny foil
to the inked parts. Yes please!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The machine boasts that not only can it
apply foil to pre-designed cards, but you can also print your own designs and
then apply foil to them! This was sounding fantastic! You could also apply
different coloured foils too, not only gold.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At R1453 it was quite pricey, but not as
much as the Mint. The foil rolls were about R200 each, so not crazy but not
cheap either. And they seemed to be available in SA.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I did a bit of digging. Many reviews speak
about difficulties in getting the foil to adhere to the ink, resulting in

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%;">But the biggest issue I found was this: most
sites advise that you need A SPECIAL TYPE OF PRINTER to actually make this
work. Reading the very useful post by <a href="http://www.pinkimono.com/2015/10/20/3-tips-for-using-your-minc-foil-applicator/">Pink
Kimono</a>, she explained how she went through FIVE different printers before
she worked out that you need a Monochrome laser printer to </span></span>make the foil adhere to the designs. For
this you’re looking at easy R5000 (the Brother version is R5533). Eish! Now
this was looking pricey!</span></div>

Well, something that isn’t specifically a crafting machine, but will, I think,
add to my range of crafting abilities: an A3+ printer. A Canon Pixma i6840 A3
printer (find it on <a href="http://www.takealot.com/canon-pixma-ix6840-a3-printer/PLID29980155">Takealot</a>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can see you frowning in confusion…well,
let me explain.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since my early scrapbooking days, I used to
marvel at pages designed by more experienced crafters. As I went along, I found
ways to replicate these designs (the Silhouette Cameo was a huge help – no more
cutting out letters!), and sometimes ways to work around the designs. But
occasionally there were designs that I could not duplicate, because I was
missing one key thing: the ability to print directly onto a scrapbooking page.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Look at this design for example – imagine
it was a 12x12 page</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggLnHq2OL6Gex0LM9kHTcBO0NMVEpYBWDeN78_hL5Qfw_f_sHA9-Ft8Rsxr8Fvh0C754wvmdvFWNfxSNrtXNq1QVUqK39xXkuQrwQP6AqDbYtvoWtuKv96QxAEGPBnK7JQXmMR8kKJftzx/s1600/love+and+thanks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggLnHq2OL6Gex0LM9kHTcBO0NMVEpYBWDeN78_hL5Qfw_f_sHA9-Ft8Rsxr8Fvh0C754wvmdvFWNfxSNrtXNq1QVUqK39xXkuQrwQP6AqDbYtvoWtuKv96QxAEGPBnK7JQXmMR8kKJftzx/s640/love+and+thanks.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now ask yourself: how would I get that
printing? Yes, there are work-arounds – you could print onto a separate page,
cut it out and stick it on. You could use sketch pens and the Cameo machine, or
stickers, or your own handwriting. But if you actually wanted to print this
right onto the paper? You couldn’t do it – well, not without a printer that
could take scrapbooking sized paper. And that’s where my new printer comes in.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This printer prints “A3+” which means it
can print 329mm x 483mm. As a standard scrapbooking page is 12x12 inches, or
approximately 305x305mm, I am able to send a full scrapbook sized page through
my printer. This means I can add text to pages, as well as print my own
patterned scrapbook paper.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a few more ideas of backgrounds to
do – like cameras, quotes in the middle of the page, banners at the top,
chevrons, clouds, confetti, and much more. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, but back to my choice of machine. I
did my usual analysis: base cost, cost of consumables, availability of
consumables and range of features.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At R3439 the printer was admittedly not
cheap. The initial machine comes with a full set of ink (nice surprise!) and
ink refills are looking at about R700 for the set, but you can buy them
separately too. Also not cheap, but I do know how well these inks last. Also,
my intention is not to use this as an everyday printer, or even as a photo
printer (although it can print photos. Hmm, on that, I may try printing an A3
photo one day…) So I think my ink will last quite some time. The ink is also
readily available, as is paper/card to feed in.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I already have a Canon printer, so I was
pretty set on staying with the brand. It was also one of the cheaper A3
printers (which are not that easy to find, btw). <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

using this printer for MANY scrapbooking projects to come. Have a look at some
of these pages I’ve found which would benefit from 12x12 printing abilities:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When doing pages of a wedding, I really like to use some of the "stuff" from the wedding - like the invite, or the order of service. The bride and groom - scratch that, just the bride! - has put a lot of effort into these touches, and I really like including them in the pages. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hi everyone! I’m back today with photos
from my first ever Halloween party! I really went all out on the décor, and my
guests were suitably scared…I mean, impressed!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I wanted to share with you one
particular décor item that I made by adapting one of Bird’s SVG files. I think
even Bird will be surprised by what I’ve done here!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I started out with her free <a href="http://www.birdscards.com/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_62&product_id=57" target="_blank">Halloween SVGs</a>. I took the grave SVG and enlarged it as much as I could to fill an A4
page. I then saved this as a PDF – do you know how to do that in Silhouette
Studio? There’s a trick to it – you tell your software to print, and then where
you would normally select your printer, you instead choose “Print to PDF” and
the file will save! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Why did I do this, you ask? Because I wanted
to print this grave out BIG! To save on ink, you can see I made the design so
it would only print the outline of the grave and the words.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I then took it to work (sneaky, I know!)
and printed it out size A3 on our printer. Hmm, turns out I must have done something
wrong, because it cut off the bottom – but this actually worked better – the
bottom, after all, was basically square, and I was going to hide some of it in
the ground anyway. And this way I got a larger print of the actual gravestone part. So I stuck with my print. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So far I’ve used an envelope as a stencil
on my <a href="http://nickywithstripes.blogspot.co.za/2016/08/a-tropical-layout.html" target="_blank">Tropical page</a> and used SVG files to make <a href="http://nickywithstripes.blogspot.co.za/2016/09/spooky-pops.html" target="_blank">Spooky Pops</a>! So what’s next? Well, I was browsing through
Bird’s designs and I came across one that looked very familiar – the set called
“Girl Cards” which has a princess doll card included.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Okay, let’s get started. Maybe you’d like
to follow along in Silhouette Studio – I think this could make a lovely card
for a number of events, and also a great wedding card – no need to use flowers
if you want to use another shape.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

</span>Now, after a bit of thought, I realised
that I wanted to cut out the negative space of the dress, and leave the flowers
white like the rest of the card. Hmm, how to do this? The secret is to first do
an internal offset and then create a compound path</span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Then I made some duplicates and dragged

you can see, your dress and flowers have now become one design.</span></div>

your dress now. You would end up with a thin outline of a dress with flowers in
the middle, and a large dress silhouette left in your paper. But I wanted the
flowers and the paper to stay behind as part of the card.</div>

the compound path that you made earlier. The dress and flowers are all one

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I positioned the dress to make a card, cut

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Make sure you apply your glue to the
back of the DRESS and not to the COLOURED cardboard you’re adding – there will
