String of Hearts - Valentine Card

My second project using the Silhouette Cameo.  I can't say enough... how much I Love it and Love how it cuts...AMAZING!  Not to mention the endless sources available for Adorable svg files.  So Fun! :) 

This cute little girl is from the Will U be my Valentine collection from Scrapping Bug Designs.  You can visit them HERE.  I must work on the eyes.  I would love to add  long wispy eyelashes, but that does not seem to be my talent at the moment, LOL!  I will keep practicing! :)  

I must admit I was very intimidated at the thought of going to a cutting system that operated without cartridges.  I was afraid I would get it only to find it frustrating, time consuming and hard to use.  I can now say...that's not the case at all.  There is a small bit of learning, but once you have the basics you will see it's not that difficult.  For this card I was able to load the mat ONE time and get all the cuts I needed to create it.  With the exception of the hearts on the ground that I decided to add as an afterthought.  A true time saver in the end.

  4. Awww, this card is adorable Lisa! I love it so much! You keep practicing those eyelashes. I used to do ceramics and did eyelashes all the time. It just takes practice and I would think that a Copic,Spectrum Noir or something to that effect would help you get the "flick" that you need to make eyelashes. Have fun my friend, you are doing great with the Cameo!!

  5. I purchased a silhouette cameo before Christmas but have not tried it yet. I guess I felt a little intimidated, that is until I read your today's post. You've encouraged me to just go for it. Thank you. Oh, the card is adorable too.
