Nail stickers using the Silhouette Cameo

I got this idea from a sweet mama on a Facebook users group for the Silhouette cutting machines. I used some free vinyl that I got from a local sign shop and cut out nail stickers. The flower design can be found in the Silhouette online store. I had to cut them out SUPER tiny... almost too tiny. But it worked. I put a clear coat over the stickers and they lasted almost two days. My kids loved them and they really brightened up an already bright blue nail polish - and lets face it - they are just fun!

Making my Silhouette Cameo Pretty

I decided to jazz up my Silhouette Cameo today. I used some pink paper to make a new control panel background. I also used some Cricut Vinyl I had on hand to make the designs on the Cameo. Both came from the Silhouette Online Store. I just changed the "dream create inspire" to be on three lines rather than one.

Gymnastics Shirts Using Heat Transfer Vinyl

My kids love it when I make them stuff. But between being a busy mom, a shop owner, and trying to run a household, I don't exactly have time. So I am LOVING my new Silhouette Cameo and heat transfer vinyl.

I used blank t-shirts I picked up at JoAnn's craft store (on sale of course) and some Silhouette brand heat transfer vinyl. I used images I bought from the Silhouette online store and put the kids names on them before cutting out the vinyl.

I am not a big fan of this brand of vinyl so I will be trying others (it was a pain to iron on and while the directions said 45 seconds it took way longer than that).



However the kids LOVED them!!!! Like OMG loved them! They now have personalized gymnastics shirts to wear for each of their classes. My son is already requesting more .... a boy on the rings.... on the p-bars... on the floor.... on the rope... etc

UPDATE: these were such a big hit at gymnastics that the mom of a little girl in my daughter's class requested one... how could I say no?! ;-)
