It’s our first post of 2017 and like any self-respecting blogger we are going to make this one inspirational, dang it. However, if I’m being real, I have never been one to sit down and actually write resolutions/goals in the new year, but I love the sense that the new year is a fresh start...
I love a good homemade Christmas gift – especially one that is quick, easy, and personalized! We teamed up with our BFFs at Plaid Crafts to create these etched jars that are so cute for a family or neighbor Christmas gift, and they took less than 30 minutes to make! Who wouldn’t love a jar...

Can you believe Halloween is next week? It has been so mild weather-wise in NYC that I can hardly wrap my brain around it. And while, Halloween is so much fun and, HELLO, CANDY, I can’t wait for it to be over so we can move on to the REAL holidays. Halloween is essentially just...
These hand towels are too cute! Such an easy DIY project to do with some girlfriends.
When the temperature starts to drop in the fall I start thinking about one warm, rich, chocolatey thing: Hot Chocolate! I like it dark, I like it with mint, I like it with caramel, I like it with marshmellows, I like it with whipped cream, I like it with more chocolate melting INSIDE the hot...

We buy a lot of jarred peaches at our house – my little boy LOVES them. So I have a constantly-growing collection of glass jars in my pantry. Every time I open the pantry door, the jars basically scream at me to do something with them, so I decided to actually follow through. I love...

hi.. i tried creating this following your instructions. however, my silhouette Portrait just keeps cutting the square around my design, instead of the design itself. any ideas why this is happening? I wrote the words myself and imported it as a jpg into the library. Thanks for any help or suggestions you could offer! 😀
Hi Isabelle! I’m not sure why that would be happening! When you click “Send to Silhouette” and the software outlines what will be cut, does is show a square around the text?
If the file is a jpeg Silhouette will not recognize it as a cut file. You will need to use the trace tool and trace the words. That will make the file cuttable. If you’re not sure how to use the trace feature Youtube has lots of videos on it. Hope that helps!
thanks for the tip!! 😀 is there any file extension for images where this will work? png?
Hi, yes! When I click send, a red box appears around the whole pattern. I’ve tried various settings and sometimes the blade moves across the machine and comes back to rest without doing anything. And on all occasions, Studio says that cutting is complete/successful.
Thanks for taking the time to reply. Really appreciate that!
