March Silhouette Group Meeting

Hopefully the weather won't still be bad on Monday, March 3  (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.) as we have our monthly meeting at AE.

Thought our attempts at stamp making at the last meeting brings a nice dimension to our Silhouette can do list.  Bring anything you may have used your stamp on.  Jacquie had an observation that I wanted to pass on.  The stamp material is thinner than what we find on commercial stamps and it is easy to pick up ink on the sides of the block where the image sits, so maybe we could try double cutting a design and place it on top to make it thicker.  Haven't done it yet, but will give that a try when I break out the stamp kit again.   Also, don't know a lot about inks, so if anyone wants to recommend what is best to get a good image with Silhouette stamp material, pass it on.    Kate at AE is ordering the stamp mats and stamp material for us, so will let everyone know when that comes in.   Twelve dollars is a small investment to be able to do your own personal stamps.

Planning on diving into a rhinestone kit I purchased a while ago and share how to use your Silhouette to create bling designs for fabrics, t-shirts, etc.

Also, looking forward to seeing what you all did with the design template from Page Maps. 

Don't forget to bring anything you have worked on with your Silhouette.
