Silhouette Card

Well, I tell you what LOL,,,,,,,it was a longgggggggggg 24 hours waiting for Silhouette to get their server up and running LOL but I have to give props to them,,,,,,,,their Customer Service is fantastic!

They tried to help me, but they were still having SOME problems,,,,,,,,,and of course, they just happened to affect me,,,,,,,,,,,BUT they called me back (shock!!) when the problems were fixed and walked me through how to get all my images,,,,,,,,

then I had cutting problems ROFL.  A bad blade was partly to blame, so a trip to Michaels brought me a new blade,,,,,,,,

I do NOT like the Silhouette cutting mats,,,,,,,not not NOT,,,,,,,so a cut down Cricut mat works amazingly well,,,,,,,,

and VOILA,,,,,,,perfect, amazingly beautiful, highly detailed cuts!!!!!!!!

I'm in 7th heaven now that I've found my Silhouette's "sweet spot" (blade depth 3, speed 2 or 3 depending on intricacy, thickness 30),,,,,,,,

and I had the best time making this sweet little spring card today!!!

Hope you like it!

Card Recipe:

Paper: Coordinations smooth card stock, GA Pacific white cardstock

I am really loving my Silhouette today,,,,,I've cut some amazingly gorgeous die cuts I can't wait to use on my cards!

Thanks for looking, and I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Silhouette Woes,,,,,

Good Evening!

Well, I got my Silhouette a day early today,,,,,and I was so excited to start crafting, I got right on the site, bought a subscription (for 20 dollars a month, I get 150.00 worth of downloads---what a deal!) and bought 71 images,,,,,,,,

well Silhouette was doing some routine maintenance, and NOTHING would download properly,,,,,,,

GAAH! LOL,,,,,,so I managed to cut some freebies offline and make a card,,,but I have 71 designs that won't work in my silhouette. They show that they are there, although there's no picture like there should be,,,,,,,but they don't work.  So then I tried "recovering" them,,,,,,nope, didn't work either.

Time to call Customer Service in the morning LOL.  Let them deal with it :)

Anywho,,,,,,,my die cuts were limited today, so I whipped together a really simple card, just so I could play.  I hope you like it!
