If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter you may have seen me teasing about today's giveaway! Today I am so super excited to be giving away a SILHOUETTE Portrait!
Yup. You read that right. I am giving away a Silhouette today on my blog! (woot woot!) It's a pretty exciting day around here! I am so appreciative of Silhouette America for allowing me to try their new products and to host this giveaway!
I am also showing off a really cute Patriotic Garland that is easy to make and perfect for Memorial Day or the 4th of July out of their Chipboard.
If you've been wanting a Silhouette, or know someone who would love to have one (hint: this would make a great Mother's Day Gift) be sure to ENTER TO WIN! This giveaway won't last long, it will end Sunday May 12th so hurry and enter to win! (at the bottom of the post)
And to make the deal a little sweeter, Silhouette is offering some AMAZING deals right now on their site using code: DESIGNING
The prices are incredible and I am so excited that May is their month to promote Chipboard! Chipboard is so fun to work with...but more on that later!
Now...about that Chipboard!
Chipboard is a thicker paper that can be used for so many reasons! I love the natural look to this paper and was really excited to use it to make my very own Patriotic Garland! This was so simple to make and I love how it turned out!
All I did was cut out stars from chipboard and then smaller stars from red cardstock. I taped the stars together and hot glued the stars to twine! So simple to make and super cute!
And I LOVE their dust cover for the Silhouette! It comes in grey for the Portrait and tan for the Cameo! It is so pretty!
