Heeeelllllooo 2015!!! I hope everyone enjoyed their New Year celebrations! My husband and I actually managed to stay awake until midnight - first time in years! And in fact, our little one partied until 11pm, ha. I'm definitely looking forward to what 2015 has in store. :)
So, what shall we chat about today? Well, as someone who crafts, I'm always thinking about the next holiday. So while I packed up Christmas, I thought about what I might like to tackle for Valentine's Day. I received a Silhouette for Mother's Day last year and I've been dying to spend more time mastering all that it has to offer. I used my vinyl starter kit to put together these little cuties!
It all started with a simple wood block I picked up from Hobby Lobby around Christmas time.
I originally planned on using them to create ornaments, but unfortunately, time ran out. Honestly, I'm glad it did because I think these Valentine's blocks turned out way cuter than the ornaments would have.
I created my designs using Silhouette Studio.
I then loaded my vinyl into my Silhouette cutting machine. I used all the recommended settings for vinyl and then hit cut!
I removed the vinyl from the machine and peeled away the excess. I was then left with this...
Using transfer paper, I moved the letters from this sheet to the wood block.
And that was that!
How easy, right?!! To add even more cuteness, I added washi tape around the entire block.
I repeated the same process for each design. I just love how they turned out!
I can't wait to tackle my next Silhouette project!
