And the winner is Anastasia!
I have two awesome things to tell you about today but you have to hurry because one of them ends tomorrow.
Have you had your eye on a Silhouette machine? These little things can do so many fun crafts to make your gifts and your home really unique and beautiful.
Here are just a few of the nifty projects that a Silhouette can do:
Vinyl projects, rhinestones, heat transfer for fabric, etching for glass, paper projects, custom cards, labels, artwork and so much more!
The portrait is a newer and more compact version of the Silhouette Cameo.
Right now Silhouette is offering a special promotion for $179 you can get:
- A portrait machine for all your projects
- The designer edition software
OR if you want to the big boy for $269 you can get:
- A Cameo machine
- Plus the designer edition software
You can head over here to Silhouette America to get more details and place your order. You have to move it, move it though because the sale ends March 8th!
OR if you already have one of these machines you can upgrade to the Designer Edition Software for 50% off right now- get it for $24.99 instead of the regular $49.99. You will want to use coupon code: FRUGAL at checkout.
The software is a must if you are interested in the rhinestone features in particular. It also allows you to do all sorts of cool things- you can see the differences listed out here.
There are lots of other little fun things to play with- here is something I just did. We used to have a little jar in the laundry room for our dog treats. I have been freshening things up for spring and I decided to update the little jar.
I used the sketch tools and made the exact same image in charcoal instead of the standard one dimension.
I think it looks a little cooler now- what do you think?
It is hard to tell in the picture but it has a lot more dimension in person and I am really happy with the simple little change. The jar looks like someone actually painted on the little picture. (Pretty sure my dog is excited about the sprucing up of his treats as well).
AND!!!! Now the best part.
Silhouette is very generously offering ONE lucky MFA reader a Portrait of your very own!!
You will be able to have all sorts of fun making things for your home or for friends.
