PixScan mat

Last night I used my Silhouette Cameo with my new PixScan mat - it is a new mat from Silhouette that enables you to scan and then cut out images using your Silhouette cutting tool!
I have been wanting something like this for ages, as I really do not like fussy cutting.... :(

So I had digitally printed some La-La Land Crafts images - Catching Butterflies Marci, Handyman Luka and Gone Fishing Luka on to X-Press It blending card. Then I took a photo of it with my iPod (this has to be calibrated for the PixScan software by importing in a photo of a piece of paper printed with a bunch of dots - bit tedious, as it doesn't really explain how to do it until you have made a mistake!)
The photo of your images on the mat needs to be imported into the latest version of the Silhouette Studio 3 software - there should be a PixScan icon in the upper left corner.
Then you just trace around the images and change to cut settings in the Silhouette software, before loading the PixScan mat into the Silhouette cutter and then sending the image to Silhouette to cut.

Here is a photo of my page already cut with the Silhouette, but still on the PixScan mat:

Here is a photo of the images cut out and ready to be coloured:

Overall I think this new mat is a great idea! About time someone came out with it!

You are Sew Special with Sewing Faerie Marci

Here is my latest creation - it is a stair card using the latest stamps and dies from the Club La-La Land Crafts.

This month we received stamps of Sewing Faerie Marci, a thimble and cotton reel and then dies of a swatch of fabric, buttons and some scissors.
I stamped Sewing Faerie Marci, the thimble and cotton reel on to X-Press It paper using Memento ink. Then I coloured them in with the following Copics:

• skin - E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20, lipstick Spica
• hair -  E18, E15, YR23, Y21
• wings - B000, clear Spica
• skirt/shirt/headband/shoes - V12, V15, V17
• flower on headband - RV13, RV17, clear Spica
• blanket - Y11, Y15, Y17, YG13, YG17
• thread - YG17
• needle - Y28, clear Spica
• background - V000
• thimble - C1, C3, C5
• cotton reel - E31, E33, E35, YG13, YG17

Using the swatch of fabric die, I die cut from core Couture Glitter card stock (core'dinations), also for the scissors. I also die cut a square using a square die from KaiserCraft with the glitter card stock. 

For the buttons, I used a paper from a freebie paper stack called Sweet wishes (Australian papercraft essentials). I knotted twine and embroidery floss in the holes of the buttons.

The sentiment was stamped on to X-Press It paper and then highlighted using milled lavender Distress Ink (Tim Holtz).

The card base is AC Card stock, folded into a stair card according to Beate Johns instructions from Split Coast Stampers.

The scissors are put together with a gold brad from my stash.

Everything is adhered to the card using double-sided tape (X-press It) and adhesive foam squares (paper craft).

This card is for sale on my Etsy shop: JemLou Productions. Click here for the link to the listing.

Tea Time Marci Box Card

Well, I clearly have been missing in action!
I have a new card, a combination of Copics and using my Silhouette Cameo.

I bought a Box Card SVG kit from SVGCuts.com and used my Silhouette to cut out the parts of the Tea Time Box Card set.
The Kraft card stock which forms the major part of the box card is from Francheville. The coloured card stock is from DCWV. Some of it was embossed with an embossing folder free with Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine. The paper on both sides of the flaps, as well as the tea cups, tea pot and some flowers are some origami paper from Daiso.
I coloured a digitally stamped Tea Time Marci (La La Land Crafts) on to X-Press It paper (from LimeTart) and then coloured her with the following Copics:

• skin: E000, E00, E11, E21, E04 and R20; lipstick Spica on lips
• hair: E21, E25 and E29
• dress and headband: V12, V15, V17, V09, B93, B95, B97, B99, C0, C01 and C03
• flowers on headband: V01, V05 and V09; clear Spica
• leaves on headband: YG63 and YG67; clear Spica
• tea cup and saucer: BG10, BG13 and BG15
• boots: E31, E33, E35 and E37
• background: B000

Marci was fussy cut and attached to the back of the card with pop dots.

I also highlighted one of the sentiments from Tea Time Marci which was digitally printed on to X-Press It paper with Copics V12, adhered to a kraft oval and framed with a purple card stock oval and attached with pop dots to the card.

The back panel is the blue card stock and is left blank for the message.

This card actually folds flat and will come with an envelope. 

I'll update with a photo once I decide on the paper for the envelope!

This card is for sale on my Etsy shop: JemLou Productions. Click here for the link.
