Design Doodles


Today I am finally starting to feel a bit better - thank goodness.  It seems like I get a cold every year after the holidays.  I may even venture out to my favorite craft store tomorrow if it isn't too cold.

I spent some time "doodling" in the Silhouette software and made some designs that are Valentine inspired.  I have screen shots of a couple of them to share.  When I have done test cuts and assembled the cards I may have a file or two to share.


Sometimes I just draw shapes and move them into different patterns to see what happens.  They don't always work as cutting files but I love to just make interesting designs.  This is one of my favorite things to do - particularly when I am under the weather and don't have enough energy to actually make projects.


If there is enough interest, I am thinking about teaching a few classes on creating your own designs in the Silhouette software.  I know that many people prefer to buy designs because they have limited time to create.  However, if you are interested in learning more about making your own designs, please leave a comment to let me know.

It looks like we will finally be above freezing on Friday - and in the 50's on Saturday.  Such crazy weather!  I am already looking forward to Spring!

  2. I would be interested in learning about designing with the Silhouette. I got a Cameo for Christmas but haven't had time to play with it much. You taught me alot about using Cricut Design Studio & I thank you for that.

  4. YES! I would love to see some videos on making your own designs in the Silhouette software (I assume that's what you mean by "classes").

  7. Teaching creating your own designs...hmmm. Are you referring to teaching and internet class or in person? I would be interested in something over the internet because I know I'm not close to you - I am in Wisconsin where it's going to get above freezing on Friday!!! A virtual heatwave from the last couple of weeks of getting down to 50 degrees below with windchill!

  10. I would enjoy knowing more about the designing process on the silhouette. So far all I've done is cut the pre-designed images etc.

  11. Hi Diane, I would be interested in learning how to create my own designs. I've been reading your blog for a long time. You inspired me to try to create some in the old, old Cricut sfw, but I kept having issues and I gave up. I think Silhouette's software is a little easier to use, I'm just running into a creative roadblock and could use some inspiration.

  13. I would be very interested in seeing some videos about creating your own designs in the Silhouette software. I've done a little of that myself, but I'm fairly new to the Silhouette. Used to do it occasionally in Cricut Design Studio and Cricut Craft Room.
