Santa was good to me this year (and by Santa, I mean my husband), and I finally found a Silhouette Cameo under the Christmas tree with my name on it! Once the excitement wore off, the anxiety rolled in. Because have you ever tried to work a craft machine? Not easy, my friends! So I decided to take the maiden voyage of crafting with a simple project- a banner. Using card stock, your craft machine can whip up some pretty amazing shapes for the ultimate in adorable and unique banners to adorn your mantle or wall. I’ve collected a handful to keep me busy for the next few months, and while all of these designs are not free, they are definitely worth their money in cuteness!
