Canister Labels – and a Silhouette GIVEAWAY!

YES, that title says GIVEAWAY – get excited – that’s on down….
I know I’ve told you a million times – I love my Silhouette – you can see lots of my projects here: Awesome Projects using a Silhouette Machine.  Just yesterday I cranked out some labels for my canisters – I love how I can think of something I want to do and just get it done.  These look great, but I shined them up TOO much – it made for tricky picture-taking!

before I show you more too-shiny pictures, a heads up, it’s promotion time at Silhouette:

let’s here all about that and see more pictures…and let you know about a GIVEAWAY that you won’t want to miss….
The promotion runs from today through March 8th, and it’s for either the Silhouette Designer Software that’s normally $50 (only $25 – this is for you that already have a machine) or for a machine that COMES WITH the Designer Software – awesome:
–Portrait with Designer Software, $179.99
–Cameo with Designer Software, $269.99

To get that deal, you’ll go to go HERE and use the code SUGARBEE at checkout.

It is easy to install the software – – there’s a button in the regular software that walks you through upgrading.  The 2 things I’m most excited about:
—making my own rhinestone shapes!  normally you can’t resize rhinestone shapes, but with software you can take any size of shape and make it into a rhinestone template.
—the cross-hatch ruler – I use scrap pieces on my cutting mat a lot, and I’m always trying to reveal the cutting mat and then counting squares, etc – – with this software as I move my mouse there’s a ruler on either side indicating exactly where I am – it’s awesome.
Other features:

• Ability to open, manipulate, and cut .svg files
• Rhinestone tools to convert designs into rhinestone templates and create your own rhinestone designs
• Sketch tools to convert designs into several styles of sketchable art
• Creative knife tools to allow you to clip designs using different patterns
• Enhanced eraser set to modify designs with more precision
• Built-in ruler and guide lines for precise alignment and drawing

And if you want to see it in action (like I did) here’s a quick video link.

Oh, and more pictures of my canisters:

They needed spiffing up because they’re on display for the world to see.  Love them!

Coming up later, a tutorial on this awesome shirt…I used my Silhouette for the Pi Stencil:
