I'm sure by now you've all heard about the Silhouette machine. It's a cutting machine that is super smart and hooks up to your computer to get it's information. (That means no buying pricey cartridges every time you want a different shape or font.)
If you don't have a Silhouette you can dry those tears because you don't NEED the Silhouette machine to use the Silhouette products. If you have a sharp pair of scissors or an exacto knife, you can still make good use of tons of Silhouette's fun products.
They sent me a fun pack to try out with white and yellow heat transfer vinyl, one tattoo pack, and one magnet sheet. AND, one of you will receive the same pack to try out! It's a $50 value!
So far I've played with the yellow heat transfer vinyl. You see, Rex has a pair of shoes that I LOVE. The problem is he prefers his nasty ones that have holes in them. So, I grabbed the vinyl and my trusty exacto knife and when to work.

I worked and worked until I had...
Here he is using his super hero powers. Look out.
My review? I was really happy with how these turned out. The vinyl was a lot thicker than cutting through freezer paper. It took some muscle, but it was definitely do-able. I picked a tricky project since you can't really get the shoes to lay flat when ironing, but I came up with good method. I haven't tried the vinyl on clothing yet, but I'm anxious to see how well it holds up in the wash. I'll give it a shot and let you know.
I'm excited to try the magnet paper and the tattoo pack. For both of those products, you print onto them with your own printer and then you can cut them out with a scissors.

Hmm, interesting idea. Do you think that the vinyl will hold up on the shoes? I can see it taking a beating being on little boys feet and all... :)

I'm excited that I found your blog, there's so many cool things on here. :)

The shoes turned out great!

Oooo I love this!
What a cute idea! I want to go buy some little converse sneakers now! There are so many craft possibilities with those items!
I just found your blog through alittletipsy. You tutorial on freezer paper was great! I had no idea what it was before I saw your tutorial. This silhouette machine sounds neat! Would love to try it out!
Great job on the shoes! I would love to be able to try this stuff.
I love the shoe idea and your cute blog. I'd love to try these out...of course I'd email you with pictures of what I came up with...but doubt they'd be as cool as yours!!

They turned out great! You have the cutest ideas :)
LOVE it!
i NEED this machine!!!! but since the price is way above what i can afford... i LOVE that they make these sets you don't need the machine! i would love to win! thanks!

I adore this machine, I'm saving for it for a while.. sigh...
Those are adorable! I have been pining over a Silhouette for awhile, I never thought about cutting the images myself! Great idea!
Oh, I LOVE the shoes. What a cute idea!
Adorable! I have a pair of shoes I was planning to paint for my little guy. But, I may try this!
This would be so fun!
Awesome! Looks fun!
Would love to win the $50 pack.

Awesome idea. Looks like loads of fun.
love the shoes!
I need to make those shoes for my nephew!
I love the shoes! Such a fun giveaway!
Oh, how I want a Silhouette! Those shoes are adorable. I have some like that for my son (minus the super powers), but they are so hard to get on his wiggly feet, even with a zipper up the side. But I love the look. Maybe when he's a bit older ;-)
I'm curious to see what other projects you come up with for the stuff in your pack.
Fun shoes! Let us know how it holds up after being washed.

Oh! Me! Me! Me! What a great bday present this would be! I have so many ideas for gifts for the holidays! Thanks for the chance!
Cute shoes, very interested to see how the vinyl turns out on clothing. Thanks for the giveaway!
The shoes turned out great. I have really wanted to get a silhouette but its out of my price rang right now but its great to know that the product can be used on there own. I can't wait to try them.
That would be so much fun to play around with!
fun stuff like always!
Fantastic! Would love to try some of their products :)
What a great way to turn the shoes you love into the shoes he loves! Love it!!
This is awesome!! Hope I win!!
I really want one of these! This is definitely cool.

So brilliant! Desperately wanting a machine like that!
A friend of mine made the cutest baby announcement on her silhouette. I have never actually seen one in the flesh though
henckelhouse@yahoo.com
Little boys are great at helping us see the world from a different point of view!! I adore how he didn't like the plain black Checks, but as soon as you add the "Supah-Powah" to them, he's all that!! So cute!!!
Please let me win! I pass by so many projects because I don't have the stuff! jillseeu at hotmail dot com
I'm a huge fan of Chucks and how fun to make them your own. Love your ideas! Keep 'em coming!

It's been a giveaway week for you! Thanks :) Hope you are refreshed. Love the shoes btw.
Woo Hoo. I love this stuff.
crossing fingers and toes to win this awesome giveaway - projects for Christmas come to mind!
oooh! I have been wanting to check one of these out!!! I hope I win!
I LOVE my silhouette but haven't been able to afford to go to the website and order any accessories. I am almost out of what came with the machine. I could knock out a TON of Christmas gifts if I win! Fingers crossed!!!

So much fun!!! lilitankersley@gmail.com
AWESOME! IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES!
What a cute project! Would love to win this one!
Love the shoes - never would have thought to put vinyl on them. Iron-on vinyl is loads of fun. Lasts through the wash (just turn it inside out) - and make sure you did hold the iron on long enough (I know it should be a duh, but I was in a hurry)
oh, PLEASE pick me!!!! love your blog
It would be fun to try on some shirts.
Julie
Great shoes and great giveaway! As always: you rock!
Those shoes are the best!!
I guess I never really thought about it but it should have been obvious that you don't have to have the machine. The shoes are great!
Oh you have such great ideas! I love that you thought up of ways of using the products without the machine! Your blog is always so inspiring! Thank you for sharing!
Love what you did with the shoes! Awesome giveaway!!

love making ordinary things extraordinary! awesome!
those shoes (and the little guy) are adorable. I can imagine some fun things I could do with those products :)
I've heard so much about the Silhouette! Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on one someday!!
You just gave me an idea! My daughter wants Pink Floyd converse for Christmas and they are out-of-print and so rare. I just need to make some!!
I have a Silhouette and love it. I'd love to win some goodies for it. Thanks for hosting a giveaway.
Cute shoes!! I have been drooling over a silhouette for months now!
I bet your little super hero loves them now!
you are so creative!
I WANT A SILHOUETTE SO BAD! My wonderful sweet thoughtful husband bought me a Cricut Expression for our anniversary, and he was so proud of himself...I couldn't tell him that I'd wanted a Silhouette. I LOVE all the ideas on the Silhouette blog! I think if anyone NEEDS the $50 pack...it's me. Just to reaffirm the fact that I need a Silhouette! (Maybe I could convince my hubby by making him an awesome tattoo??)
I bought myself the silhouette machine for Christmas. I can't wait to start playing with it!!
My mom has a Silhouette and I've been wanting to try out the sticker paper. So fun!
This is a craft I have not yet gotten into but it's only a matter of time. Looks fun! And if I win, I'll start on it right away.
I just got a silhouette machine and would LOVE to win this pack. I can't wait to try out all the fun things this machine can do!
With two little boys (and a girl) at home, I think some vinyl could be some fun! :)
I love seeing all the things you can do with the Silhouette, so I'd love to see what I could do without it. I mean, cool products are cool products. What's a little extra work, right?
I've seen all the products from siloutte but haven't really thought that they can be used without the machine. Awesome! I want to try the tatoo paper!
LOVE the shoes!

Love the shoes and want this machine for my sister...maybe if I win the accessories it will inspire me to buy her the machine!
I've seen these products in the store, they look wonderful! I'd love to win the $50 package!
Would love to have one !! Would love to make some of those shoes for my 2 boys !
