Hiding In My Craft Room-KISS Challenge!

Click HERE for my 250 Follower Giveaway Post!

Hello All!!!

Its time for another Saturday challenge over at Hiding In My Craft Room!!! Today's challenge theme is:

K.I.S.S.-KEEP IT SIMPLE SWEETIE (Get it now...? :D). What does this mean? This will sort of depend on your style. Like, if you always do lots of layers, then keep it less, or less embellishments, just make a simple project! Not very hard!!!

So, for today's challenge, I thought it TOTALLY appropriate to make this card since it was VERY simple! And SIMPLE for me means, less dimension, less layers, and less colors! I usually like LOTS of dimension and LOTS of colors! I kept to one color scheme for the most part on this card, and I added NO POP DOTS! I thought my fingers were going to break off, lol!

Wanna see my card??? Here it is!!!

How to trace on the Silhouette Cameo for the Print and Cut feature

Hey All!

So I have been VERY busy with trying to get the MOST out of my Cameo! I have been doing SO MUCH RESEARCH on using it correctly! It puts me in mind of trying to learn how to use my Gypsy all over again! I remember You Tube was my BEST friend for learning the Gypsy, so I went back to my old reliable! I found MULTIPLE videos on the trace feature so you can print and cut your image. Lots of them were just WAY off for me, but 2 of them stuck out. Sarah Hamer, AKA Pink Cricut and Jin Yong, Under A Cherry Tree. Both of them had REALLY great videos on how THEY used this feature. I liked both of them, and I enjoyed watching theirs the best because they were the most user friendly.

So, I decided I would combine all the of the wonderful knowledge and pass it on! Here is my video for how I USE the trace feature to print and cut.

Now, do you want to see what I used it for??? Here is my card for today!
