Print and cut is one of the many features I love about the silhouette, it doesn't mean you can only cut what is in the silhouette store it can be used in several ways and here are a few example's of what it can do:-
* cut out digital stamps
* cut out images scanned into your computer so maybe wooden stamps
* take an image and fill it with patterns or colours then decide on how you want it cut out
* make stickers
* print onto heat transfer material for t-shirts
* make calendars, chore charts etc etc.
You see those are just a few of the many, many ways it can be used.

So for my project I decided to make a couple of Christmas cards along with matching gift bags for people who love their pets or they could even be given to the pets lol. You see these were so quick and easy to make I decided to make two at a time.

Here are the cards I made one with a cat and one with a dog. I took images from the silhouette store and then offset the edge by 0.50 to cut a mat layer for each item.

I placed the same image tag on the bags.

With the corresponding image on the back.

This is the reverse of the tag all done using the print and cut method.

It took me about 20 minutes to make both of these sets.

My Time To Craft 'April Showers' Challenge

Good morning one and all, where did the sunshine go I really did not enjoy food shopping in the rain yesterday and the forecast for the weekend doesn't look any better either. I sure hope it is far better where you are. 

I think I am just about recovered from my grandson's visit last week and you know I had him in my trolley yesterday whilst food shopping and he was a little angel!!

Ok onto business, this week at My Time To Craft we are challenged to 'April Showers' meaning your creation must contain an umbrella in some way. Instead of going with rain I went with a shower of love in the shape of hearts. I found this cute image in the Silhouette store as a print and cut image and although I did cut around the image itself I decided to put it on a white layer. I just added the heart border and no sentiment as I am not sure what event it will be used for as yet.

Supplies:-

6" Square Card Blank - Natalie & Amy's

Card Stock - Bazzill

Designer Paper - Me To You 'With Love'
