Those of you with Silhouette machines might be interested in a new product they just came out with. Those of you that have been coveting one of these machines might want to read on for a coupon code to get a nice deal on one.
Silhouette came out with this new Double Sided Adhesive paper. This can be cut on your machine into any words, shapes or designs you like and then you can adhere it to the surface of your choice and use glitter or flocking to give your project even more pizzazz! You can use it for custom cards, signs, jars… really any surface that you can think of.
Silhouette sent me a sample of the adhesive and thank goodness for that. I am in charge of pulling together a Family Night themed gift basket for a school auction and my budget is really tight.
I found this tub at Walmart for $4.97 to use to hold all the items. I thought this would be more fun then a standard basket (and it was cheaper!)
I used my Cameo machine and standard white vinyl for the first part of the quote and then I used the new double sided adhesive tape to emphasize the laughing. The double sided adhesive is sticky on both sides- so you just cut that on your machine into whatever you like and then use the product you want on top.
I used the gold glitter that comes in the starter kit and I think this looks great! I can see doing something like this to customize tubs for sporting events, holidays (4th of July would be perfect!) , birthday parties or I am going to do something similar for Easter baskets this year. My girls will love the glittery finish and this is so easy to do!
The starter kit for the double sided adhesive includes:
- 6 sheets of double-sided adhesive material
- 3 colors of glitter
- 3 colors of flocking powder
- 10 exclusive designs
- Silhouette spatula
- Brush
- Instruction booklet
The price is regularly $19.99 but you can get it for $12.99 with coupon code: FRUGAL. That will basically cover your shipping fees- my grand total was about $20 for the starter kit with shipping and everything.
If you would like one of the Silhouette machines, here is one offer. You can get the Silhouette Portrait plus the double sided adhesive starter kit for $179.99. You will need to use coupon code: FRUGAL to get the discount.
Shipping for me was $10 but that is still a good price.
The Portrait alone is priced at $179 on Amazon with free shipping. So basically you can order from Silhouette and get the machine plus the adhesive starter kit for $189 shipped.
If you are interested in a Silhouette machine (or considering one as a Valentine’s Day gift) you might also check out the Cameo. It is a larger version and you can get a bundle pack for $269 shipped right now. The bundle does not include the brand new double sided adhesive so that would need to be purchased separately.
