Valentine Project

Crafting Moment! 

{Hugs & Kisses}
I used my Silhouette Machine for this project. 
 
There is so much you can do with this electronic cutting tool.I am still learning.
 
I had a lot of fun decorating and creating for V-Day this year! These signs are just one of the few many project I have done. 


First I.....

        started with 2~ 6"X12" Boards. 


Painted my base coat (pink of course)

Then I made this stincle with my Silhouette.
I took white contact paper I got at Wal-Mart ( its inexpensive, so you don't feel so bad discarding it at you are done stincleing, and less sticky so it peels off easy) . 
I cut this diamond background out. (#1712)
I hade to do some adjusting to make it fit 6x12.



Using the pink from my base coat, I added and mixed a little white to set off the color just a little.
Then painted over the diamond stencil.


Let it dry, and removed the contact paper.


And got this!
Then back to my Silhouette I desinged my Hug and kiss. (Using "Rowdy Heavy" Font and "Exploding_ Flourish_C00863_ 17986") and cut it out in brown vinyl, and applied it.


I have two sconces in my foyer that will make a perfect home or these signs.
I remember my mom hanging things like this when i was little. (dont ask me how)
I glued these soda can tops on the back.
Cheap!
 Strung my ribbon through. 


And Wha La!




Hers a another version of this I tried.
Happy Crafting!
