It is safe to say that Christmas has arrived early here at Simply Designing! My friends at Silhouette have asked me to host a Pre-Black Friday Silhouette Portrait Giveaway!! And I happily agreed! I love love love my Silhouette Cameo, it is truly one of my most used creating tools (besides my glue gun of course!) and it is a work horse. I have had my Cameo for several years now and am really excited to host a Silhouette Portrait Giveaway today!
Over the years I have created so many projects using my Silhouette and so today I thought I would take a moment to share my top 11 Holiday Vinyl Projects with you!
I have made many gifts, decorations and even holiday shirts over the years and here are a sampling of just a few of them to get you excited about my Silhouette Portrait Giveaway!
*Scroll all the way to the bottom of the post to enter to WIN a Silhouette Portrait!*
One of my most popular posts of all time is my Homemade Dishwasher Detergent post! This would make the perfect gift for many friends! Make the soap, divide it into cute little jars, and add a touch of vinyl to the jar! See my full post HERE.
One year my mom and I created these in mass to give as gifts! They are fairly inexensive and so fun. This Wisemen Still Seek Him board is displayed in my home every year! See my full post HERE.
I love the gold and silver vinyl used on this pretty Walking in a Winter Wonderland board! It is elegant and simple and would make the perfect decoration or gift! See my full post HERE.
Homemade Laundry Detergent is another great homemade gift idea! Find the recipe and full post HERE.
Can you get much cuter then a Snowman Candy Jar!? This is always a favorite and makes a great gift idea as well! See more HERE.
This O Come Let Us Adore Him plaque is truly one of my favorite vinyl decorations of all time. It is simple and elegant and is a great Christmas decoration. See how to create this HERE.
I love using my Silhouette to create vinyl stencils! It makes such a fun way to paint fabric (without needing to know how to paint well!) and is a great way to embellish any gift! Learn how to use the Silhouette to stencil HERE.
Last year my husband and I were invited to an Ugly Sweater Party and we didn't want to spend a lot of money or time searching for an ugly sweater to wear. Instead I made my husband a silly shirt that he was much more willing to wear and all thought it was pretty funny! Learn more HERE.
Upcycle an ugly tin with a bit of paint and some pretty vinyl! You can fill this with any treat or cookie of your choice and gift away! See how to create this HERE.
One of my most popular Christmas post is this Christmas Glass Block idea! I share how to drill holes into the glass blocks and apply the vinyl onto them. We truly love getting these out every year! See more HERE.
Creating a personalized tumbler filled with yummy goodies or a small gift is a great, fun and simple gift to give any time of year! See how to create this fun layered vinyl look HERE.
