I recently needed to make a card for a friend’s wedding. I hadn’t yet tried the Silhouette Glitter Kit, so I decided this was the perfect occasion to try it out. After all, if you can’t glitter a wedding, what can you glitter?
Supplies – Patterned Paper: Pink Paislee (London Market 6×6). Ink: Ranger Tim Holtz Distress (Antique Linen). Pens: Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Pens (Black Soot, Warm Lipstick). Stamps: Lawn Fawn (Sophie’s Sentiments). Die Cutting Supplies: Silhouette Portrait Machine, Silhouette Glitter Kit, Silhouette Cut File (2 Wedding Icons by Lori Whitlock).
I used my Silhouette Portrait machine to cut the shape of the rings out of the double-sided adhesive paper that came in the kit. I peeled the first side and stuck the shape down and then peeled to reveal the adhesive for the glitter. I opened the glitter to shake it onto the adhesive and was absolutely blown away at how fine it was. The texture is beautiful and it stuck wonderfully with very full coverage.

Wow what an awesome toy for the Silhoutte to play with. Who hates messing with adhesive then trying to glitter and atttach a complex die. This solves that problem So Bring on the bling.
I would love to have an electronic die machine. Silhouette especially, the ease friends tell me about makes it doable.

I really, really, really need to win this Silhouette….. I would love to have it at my house.
One of the days I would love to see that I’ve actually won something. This would be the best thing to be my 1st prize to win.
I have been wishing I could have a Silhouette, because of all the fabulous designs I have seen on cards and layouts. But I purchased another brand of die-cutting machine a few years ago and don’t use it enough (because of its limitations) to justify buying another one. WINNING one would be a great Valentine’s gift…to myself! LOL!
Oh, yes, I would love to have a Silhouette! Thanks for the chance to win!

A silhouette would be so amazing! I didn’t get anything crafty for Christmas as no money after getting the kids the things they need, so I would love to get this to make my new year really special! With 4 kids and one on the way, it will definitely get a workout!
