If you have never used the Silhouette for glass etching here is a how to video.

Well, I have never used my Silhouette for glass etching, or done any glass etching before, so I thought I'd give it a go for our challenge.  I decided to make a dessert set - one large serving bowl and four smaller dessert bowls.  I chose a suitable image from the Silhouette Store, I then drew a rectangle around the design in order the made the template.  I then sized this suitable for the large bowl before reducing it to suit the size of the smaller bowls.  I cut my template using my Silhouette and then followed the glass etching instructions that come with the Glass Etching Starter Kit from Silhouette.

Here's the result

I really enjoyed glass etching and will definitely be doing it again!!

(3) Silhouette Replacement Blades

Here's my shaped card

I really enjoyed making this card  I've never designed a shaped card before and so this was a steep learning curve for me!!!!  I decided to go for something quite straightforward and then got hubby involved, he drew the design into silhouette for me, and then I did all the cutting and sticking.

The windows are vellum, but the photos don't show this very well!  The two cats are die cut on my Sizzix and the Topiary Tree is from the Silhouette Store.  The house is all the design of Lazy Cats Cards.  If you would like a copy of the studio files we made, please EMAIL ME and I will send it to you.
