BYI wanted to show you some of the fun I’ve been having with my Silhouette machine!
If you’ve been around here long enough, you know I love beautiful packaging. The great thing about a cute little box or bag is that it makes it perfectly acceptable to give away just a tiny bit of food. These little paper boxes were perfect for a little bag of Pretzel Turtles.
Each box was just a simple template on the Silhouette and they each took only about 5 minutes to make.
I’m kind of in love with the flowers. I just cut out a few different sizes of basic flower shapes and layered them on top of each other. A quick ruffling of the edges and a button or gem in the middle and wah-la! Fancy-Schmancy.
Cupcake wrappers are so trendy right now, as are cupcake toppers and they’re so easy to make on the Silhouette. I see many of these in my future.
Speaking of cupcakes, check out this cute box I saw on the Silhouette blog. Can’t wait to make these to give away some of these, or these, or these!
To play around with the heat transfer material, I decided to make a shirts for my older boys. I let my 4 year old pick a picture he liked and wasn’t surprised when it was this guy:
I ripped off the concept for this next shirt from Make it and Love it. I just put the design on a piece of knit and stitched it right on the shirt. Super cute!
And since my sewing machine actually came out of its deep dark abyss, I decided to make the most of it and ended up sewing all weekend! (Well after my friend Jenny came over and showed me how to thread it correctly did a major repair so it was usable). I bought these cute Halloween fabrics to use as toppers for Pie in a Jar, but decided instead to turn them into a cute banner to hang from my staircase. I used the Silhouette to add the black spiderwebs- love how it turned out (and I’m SO in love with the owl fabric in there- can you see that one??)
Next up- vinyl! I bought this dry erase board at Target for 5 bucks and transformed it into a weekly menu board. (And just so you know, I wrote all of that in purely for show. If you follow us on Facebook you know that at least 2 of the days last week should have said, “whatever cereal you can find in the pantry”)
I made this cute jar for my 2 1/2 year old. Are you wondering what “Big Boy Treats” are? Basically it’s a way to bribe him with gobs of sugar to use the toilet so I am forced to change a few less diapers each day encourage good behavior through positive reinforcement 🙂
This might be my favorite project, and I wish there was a way to better capture it in a photo. You can buy these glass blocks at craft stores. I’m sure you’ve all seen them. Usually people put twinkly lights inside and write an inspirational quote on the front, or use a holiday graphic, etc. I was staring at the block in the store wondering what to make when I had the thought to put a picture on the inside. I love how it turned out. The picture is on the inside, but on the far side and I put the vinyl words “Forever Family” on the very front so you get a cool 3 dimensional look. Can you imagine a gorgeous baby portrait in there with the word “Precious” on the outside? Or pics of your kids with their names? So cute.
**I get TONS of questions about how I got my photo inside the glass block in the photo below. The glass block has an opening at the bottom, I just cut my photo to fit perfectly on the block, put a small piece of double stick tape on each corner and then slipped it though the opening and stuck a spoon in there to push the photo against the glass to stick. That’s it!
Well that’s about all I can fit in one post! I’d love to hear your crafty ideas, or see links of fun things you’ve been making. Feel free to link in the comment section- I’d love to be inspired while all of my crafting supplies are still spread out all over my kitchen so please share!
I've been dying to see what you made with the Silhouette! Everything is amazing! You have totally sold me.
Wow! you have been one busy foodie! Every thing turned out great. I can't wait to "win" mine. (hint,hint) seriously I love the tshirt with the motorcycle and all the cupcake holder ideas. You are so creative.
Wow–you can make all kinda goodies with that machine. They all turned out fabulous, great job! 🙂
All super fantastic ideas..but love the glass block with the photo the best! Great idea!

Oh please I have wanted a Silhouette machine for such a long time. Your ideas are inspiring…
Obviously, my chances are slim if you've already had over 5000 entries, but I'll give it a shot anyway. I love the variety of projects you can make with the Silhouette. Whoever came up with the idea is a genius! I love the shirt, bunting, and other crafty items you made with this baby! So cute!

WOW! You have been going a bit crazy Sara, but then you have always been super creative! I would love to win so pick me! I love the glass block idea and the personalized T-shirt. The boys will love picking out their own designs.

Who would of thought that a machine like this can create so many expressions, it looks like so much fun, I am always in the house this would be a great way to keep me occupied, who knows might see a side of me that I never saw before or develop a talent I never had. Love the pics, they are so adorable and it don't look like is was homemade, that is a good thing. May I can design boxes.
I LOVE all you can do with the Silhouette! My daughter and I did a tea party theme for her 3 year old's birthday. We borrowed a Cricket from my friend. But we went crazy and everything turned out so fun. So I would LOVE to win the Silhouette so I can continue making all the fun things you can do with it. The ideas are limitless (and so I don't have to borrow my friend's machine in the future).
The possibilities are endless with the Silhouette. My mind is already racing of the things I could make if I am the lucky winner.

Whoa. I could totally use the Silhouette as the excuse I needed to go on a cupcake rampage (I've been dying to), but I would love to have it for scrapbooking, T-shirt (well, onesie) making, and leaving vinyl messages to my son on his bathroom mirror, bedroom mirror, booster chair, and maybe even his window in the car. And I'm going to have to steal your idea for the glass block; we're due to have portraits done soon and this would be super awesome.
I am so amazed by your Blog "Our Best Bites." I look forward to it everyday, truly! It's my go to when I want newness or sassy change! You never let me down!

I also share your "phobia" so to speak, about letting my kids help in the kitchen. I thought i would go bananas before they got a mini muffin pan filled on saturday!!
I am a FB fan!
After receiving multiple birthday gifts with darling hand made cards, my daughters informed me that I am "not a crafty mom!" Maybe with your fancy machine I could become one! You made some *VERY* cute projects. : )
Pick me, pick me! I love all of the cool crafty things you can make 🙂

I've been wanting one of these for so long!!! Just can't justify spending the money! I would love to win one. Pick me:) I
I know the chances are slim- but I have been longing for one of these machines! Thanks for the opportunity.
I am really interested in the heat transfer – I'd love to make owl T-shirts for my daughter's class.
I'm a facebook fan as well!
I would be most excited about being able to create things with the vinyl, it would be so versatile in the home for signs & projects.
I Liked you on FB 😀
Want want want! I love the idea of making my own beautiful wrapping for baked goods and gifts, and making clothes for me and my daughter!
I would love to win this machine, so I could use the vinyl cutting to make one of those cute picture blocks! What a great idea.
Who knew it could make all that wonderful stuff. I can think of a million places I could use it. Thanks for sharing your creative talents!
I love them all, but I would like to try the vinyl! Very crafty and creative!
Yes Please! I would love a Silhouette.
I love your site so much and love trying out all the recipes! You two are amazing, really!

I would love to win this because I love my wife. 🙂
I want this machine soooo freakin BAD!! Please sign me up to Win!! Robin
This would be so much fun! I think I'd be most likely to use it for little food gift boxes, but probably also non-food gift boxes and decorations! I love a well-wrapped gift!
I so want to do that glass block craft! What a fun idea!! I'd LOVE to have a Silhouette! 🙂
Oh, I would loooooove to win a Silhouette machine.

I would love to use this to catch up on my Hawaii scrapbook that I started several years ago… 🙂 But the feature I'm most enthused about are the temporary tattoos. I think once my son is older, he would LOVE homemade tattoos!
Are you serious?!? A Silhouette? I'm excited about the heat transfer. I never knew these could do that! I am a scrapbooker so I'm also thrilled at the idea of owning one of these and jazzing up my paper work. Thanks for the fun giveaway! Hope I win!

Wow – see what happens when you're away from the computer for a few days.

I liked you on Facebook:)
I've never seen the pens that can be used in the Silhouette instead of the blades – too cool. I think I'd start out by letting my daughters design their own paper with it. After that…the possibilities are endless!
Boy would I love to make all kind of cutie things for my grandkids…all 12 of them (plus 3 more on the way). That would be so much fun!!!
I can't decide which of the features I'm most excited about! I would like to try them all. I was just thinking the other day how awesome yet impossible it would be to get one of these machines for starting my new little business! I would LOVE to win!
I'm also a facebook fan…
I am NOT crafty- so I LOVE this idea of something with a template telling me HOW to be cute! pick me!
So cute, I love all of those ideas!
I like to cook a lot, but my wife does more of the crafting. Something like this might help her overlook the mess I make in the kitchen!
Love the projects. I have so many ideas in my head right now and with a machine like that ahhh. xxxx crossing my fingers and toes.
I would love one I like the picture frames and box the garland would be good for my grandsons birthday

I've never seen this amazing machine before, but I see why it's so popular and why your comment section from the entry post is full–I don't know if it counts if we comment in this section, but that thing is amazing! It's so hard to choose between wanting to do fun things with vinyl or paper, but when I saw the adorable paper boxes & things you made on this post, you sold me on the paper crafts. How fun! Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Reading your blog just brightens my day. I love your food ideas and the new silhouette machine is amazing. What fun to have one and do such creative things ..Every project seems to be a favorite of mine.
super fun! i just want to make my friends and family feel extra special on their birthday, etc. and i think that extra touch is in the packaging of the gift/treat. yipee!

I would use it to etch my name on my glass casserole dishes. Love it!!
I liked Our Best Bites on Facebook
Wow! This would be so much fun to play with. My teenagers would love helping me create so many cute things to give to friends and neighbors. Oh and FAMILY 🙂
Ooh, do I have to choose just one thing? It looks like a great present making tool. I'd probably use the markers quite a bit.
I would love to make some cute T's and onsies!
I loved everything that you made with the machine!!! I would love to win one!
I love it when the Foodie turns crafty…I like to do a little of this and a little of that too! I would love to own a Silhouette!!
Great projects made with this machine, would love a chance to win one!!
Maybe I should wait to buy my glass blocks until AFTER I win? Or maybe I beg my friend to use her Cricut??? I can see a lot of those in the near-Christmas future.
Oh that looks like great fun and the start of more crazes (my husbands name for new hobbies), I would love to win but understand that you probably don't send to the UK.
Beautiful yet simple! I would love one! My kids would love it if I had one!
Sara
Oh, I just love the Silhouette! I would love to upgrade my kids' clothes with cute pictures, but I'd also love to try the glass block photo frame, and of course the cute cupcake ideas! This would keep me busy for weeks!!
I liked you on Facebook!
Wow!!!! I love it! Very creative!
So, I've "liked" on fb, here's my bonus comment. I still can't decide the most useful thing to do with the Silhouette, but it seems like a splendiferous tool to begin an etsy shop with!
All your stuff (food and crafts) are so inspirational. I stumbled across your blog last week and have made 3 of your recipes already. and they were allll delicious. Your chicken and dumplings is now a family favorite. My 4 year old couldnt get enough of it! (or my husband 🙂 ) Thanks for all your inspiration and giving away a silhouette machine! Holy cow!! it keeps getting better! Thanks!!!!!
I'd love to win especially seeing all the amazing things you made!
I like you on facebook and would like to have, no LOVE to receive the Shilhouette machine!
You have completely sold me on this! I would L-O-V-E LOVE to have one! This would be perfect for bake sales for PTO and wrapping up our community service projects for Brownies!
I "liked" you on Facebook! I love your site! Why didn't I discover you before? totally hope I can win one of these sihlouette machines, I've been wanting one forever!

I would totally make cards and do some heat transfer to upcycle some of the kiddos shirts!
janicetwitchell@hotmail.com
I would love a Silhouette! I am most excited to use it for scrapbooking projects and other paper projects,like cupcake toppers and banners. I am also anxious to try out some vinyl projects!
I'm also a facebook fan!
I absolutely love your blog and I really want one of these!!!
How fun! I really do love the menu idea and the picture idea! Those things are SO handy. It turns an uncrafty person into a crafty person!!! (Like me!). 🙂
What wonderful ideas! What a neat machine!!

I would love to win the silhoutte, it looks so fun and versatile. I have always wanted to be crafty.
I would love to win this amazing machine! I facilitate a youth mentor program for high-risk young ladies and we could do SO MUCH with it! Thank you for making this opportunity available!!
Maybe that's why I couldn't get my post to work yesterday. Anyways, I LOVE the containers. I'm with Sara – I think dressing up a food gift makes it that much better and I love to give food gifts around the holidays (I have a great salad dressing set w/ bread mix, cloth napkins, and decorated salad servers in a salad bowl to giveaway this year). *crosses her fingers*
i follow you on facebook – what a great site!
katieolsenheap@yahoo.ca
I would LOVE to win a Silhouette, those things are awesome. And your projects are so darling and inspiring, you get my creative juices flowing!
i really want to try etching glass. and i am seriously excited about the heat transfers – so fun!
katieolsenheap@yahoo.ca
The Silhouette is amazing! I'd love to win one 🙂
I'm so glad I visited your FB page to try to find out why there was a 5000 comment limit! How rude of Blogger lol. If I got a Silhouette I would try glass etching first. I've always wanted to try it! Then I'm sure I would go insane with paper decor and iron-ons.

I have really been wanting the Silhouette! I love everything that it does. I think I would try out the vinyl options first, then the heat transfers, and then everything else 🙂
I like you on facebook 🙂
The Silhouette looks amazing. I could have so much fun! I love all the yummy recipes you post on your blog, you have helped me to become a better cook.
My wife really wants this. I'm sure she'd use it for scrapbooking.
What a wonderful give away right before the holiday crafts kick in!
Am I too late to enter to win the Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter? Oh I hope not! I'm already a Facebook fan!
What Silhouette Digital Craft Cutter feature I'm most excited about? It starts with NO CARTRIDGES! NONE! (This makes me so happy!) That's the appeal for me. AND I'm such a computer nerd that it makes sense to me to have a cutter hooked up to my computer. So having a Silhouette would be awesome!!!
I've actually been collecting my pennies hoping to buy a Digital Craft cutter that connected to my computer. All the extras like cutting vinyl for the glass etching & walls and the heat transfers and the paper craft cutting is just icing on the cake.
I love the paper flowers, I think they're darling and look easy to do, even for the non-crafty type person like me.
I am also a fan on facebook!
I've been wanting, nay, NEEDING one for so long that I thought I'd figured out everything I could possibly do with one. But then I saw your heat transfer shirt with the jersey knit stitched on to a plain shirt. I am in love. I never would have thought of that. I love everything you've done, but that has to be my absolute favorite! Love it.
I think the Silhouette would be a fabulous tool for creating an etsy shop!
I would LOVE a silhouette. I can't believe all you have done with it!
I've been wanting a Silhouette for a long time! I want to do all sorts of paper crafts so I can cheaply decorate our new home. I love shadow boxes! Thanks for the chance!
I like you on facebook!
Amazing Blog!!! I would be so crafty with that thing. I would love one!

I love it! You have so inspired me out of my creative rut. Your enthusiasm is infectious. I see several projects I'd love to try (in between the cooking of course). What a fun giveaway.
I'm rather new to this blogging world and I think it's so amazing you take the time to share all your wonderful ideas and stories. It's a joy to read. Thanks!

I would LOVE the Silhouette! I am already imagining all the things I can do with vinyl! I'm not all that crafty, and words on the walls is an easy, classy way to dress up my home! Thanks for the give away!
That thing is awesome! So many possibilities. I think the paper cutting stuff looks neat to me, but I'd like to try everything it does. And it's so cool that you can stick a pen in it to draw designs.
I LIKE you on FB too.
So creative! And I love how little time it took you to make the flowers. I have so many ideas running through my head…I just need to win!
This is a great giveaway. Thank you! Everything you have made is beautiful!

Especially loving the VINYL ideas! If I win, I promise to share with my sister-in-law. Love it!
I'd love to have the Silhouette to use for card making and for the vinyl angle. What a great, versatile piece of craft equipment to have in your home! Love that glass block craft, too!
This would be so perfect for all those Christmas Crafts, and I wouldn't have to borrow my friends first generation Cricuit, this is way better!!!
Ohh I want one!!! So fun 🙂 You guys are my favorite by the way, I was just browsing a few weeks ago and found your site and I LOVE all the deliciousness!

All I can say is WOW, I would love to own this fabulous machine. Everything you have made is AWESOME!
OK. I am not crafty…but I totally NEED one of these machines. There are at least 38 projects that I could use it for in the next 5 minutes. But the glass block one is coming first.

BTW…I LOVE the red transport heat transfer shirt!!! ADORABLE!

I really want one!! I would do crafts and make gifts with the vinyl stuff!
I liked you on Facebook!
I would love one but considering how many comments there are, I don't think I have good chances, but a girl can always hope!
I think I'd use it for vinyl the most, but I'd love to try those shirts, too. Yours were so cute!
I'm a follower on facebook! I would love to use it for vinyl crafts, t-shirts, and the cupcake holders! PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING!!
I have been dreaming of getting one of these and with all your adorable ideas I want one even more!

Wow this is so me, I have issues with cooking and crafting…in a good way…
Silhouette is genius for having OBB share its awesomeness with all your fans. Your blog rocks my world!! I would definitely try to make t-shirts.
gbpcarroll@yahoo.com
Oh, those ideas are so cute! Love, love, love.
The Silhoeutte machine is amazing! I would love to try many of the different options but I think I would use the paper crafts the most…cards, scrap booking and the little gift bags are adorable! I'm crossing my fingers…Thanks!
Adrien

LOVE the gift boxes. Can you share the link on where to download or buy those templates for the Silhouette??
Totally cute! would love to win!
I'm a facebook follower as well!
Ok this may be a stupid question…..but how did you get the picture in the glass block. I know that they only have a little hole in the bottom to get lights in unless they have changed since I made one with lights in it. I LOVE the picture idea. It is a GREAT christmas gift.
Angie I just gently rolled the edges of the photo to fit it through the opening and then it just opens right up when it’s inside. Not a stupid question!
Im thinking of purchasing a Cricut machine and I was wondering if the Silhouette machine is a better purchase than the Cricut machine? Do you have any advise on what to buy?
I am new to your site and think it is awesome. I am very old and have 12 Grand children plus raising two of them. Looking for ideas for gifts for them and you have some great ideas. Now I need way to make income due to disability. Thank you!
How did you get the picture on the inside of the glass block and secure it nicely? I was wanting to make some of these for gifts. 🙂 If you are able to e-mail how you did it, that would be fabulous!! Thanks!
how did you get the picture inside the glass block? and how did you keep it there?
i have seen images of vinyl on the inside, but the holes r so small to put stuff in them!! help?!?!
How did you put the photo inside the glass block….love it!
The glass blocks come with an opening at the bottom 🙂
that’s funny i bribed with star-burst chewies to potty train my son as well oops encouraged! lol
I love that last glass block craft! How did you get the picture inside the block and stuck to it? I’d like to make something similar. I know I have to roll it to get it in the block, but cant figure out how to get the picture affixed to the block once it’s in there. Could you give me some pointers?
Hi Sara!
I LOVE your ice block “Forever Family” frame… did you stick the pictures to the back of the cube, or is it freestanding inside the cube? I just played with these ice blocks this weekend, but I love the look of your large image on the inside! Thanks for any advice you can give! 🙂 jen
You said you put your picture on the “inside” of the block. How do you get inside?
Patty
There’s an opening at the bottom of the block, I just slipped it in there 🙂
Where did you find the large glass blocks with openings in the bottoms?
