Silhouettes with the Silhouette; plus a promotion!

SilhouetteLampsHoH10

I busted out my Silhouette Machine again today.

This time I decided to dress up two of my lamps!

I cut out a few flourishes with my Silhouette Machine and added them to some lamp shades.

SilhouetteLampsHoH05

SilhouetteLampsHoH06

It was so easy. I just cut them out on white card stock with my Silhouette Machine, and then used a teensy tiny bit of lightly tacky glue to stick them to the inside of the shades.

When the lamp is turned on you can see the flourish silhouette. Isn’t this bird just so adorable?

And the fun part… when the lamp is off, you can’t see the image anymore. It’s just a fun little surprise when the light turns on.

While I was making my cute little flourish silhouettes my son came in and begged me to make something for him. We browsed the Silhouette Store and found these fun 3D images of a football and a baseball cap!

Aren’t they just so cool?

My son sure thought so!

The cap used one sheet of brown card stock, but the football we decided to make life-sized, so it took 6 sheets of card stock.

He’s the next Colt McCoy!

    I know this wonderful machine is on sale and I still can’t afford it. Wow! I guess I’ll just keep looking at all the great stuff you make with it. The lampshade decor is very cool!

    WOW. I love that lamp shade idea! Thanks for all the examples of stuff you’ve made with it. I got a Silouette for Christmas, and I’m ashamed that I have yet to make anything cool with it. (insert sad face) I’m going to order a couple of vinyl sheets using that 25%off code. Thanks!

    I kind of want a silhouette after seeing all your posts but I already have a cricut expression and bought Sure Cuts a Lot to go with it. Where do you go to browse the shapes you can download to use with the silhouette?

    So ashamed to say I got a Silhouette for Christmas (my hubs RAWKS! Was a huge surprise) and have yet to even plug it in!! Shame, SHAME! When I do you best believe I’m making one of those birdies for a lamp in our living room. I’ve been wanting to do something to spruce it up and this is IT! Thanks! :o)

    @Orangesugar,

    You can browse the shapes if you go to their site and download the software for your computer. You obviously wont have the machine to cut the images, but from the software on your computer you can view all the bazillions of shapes.
