My Silhouette arrived on Christmas morning.  Oh how I was so eager to start cranking out beautiful projects.  But no…there were a few snags and the cutting mat ended up ripped and the blade fell apart. *GASP*.  However, Silhouette was nice enough to replace these items free of charge, I had no other problems with it and  I can finally reveal my very first Silhouette project…my Love Letter Glass Block.

I have seen glass block art around for a while and it just so happened that we had one block left over from our bathroom remodel.
 
I started by purchasing the file from the Silhouette store.  I measured the face of the block and sized my file just a bit smaller.
 
 
Using pink vinyl, I cut out my design and adhered it to the glass block.

It sat like that for a few days until I realized that my recent washi tape purchase from Pick Your Plum would work perfectly as a border.  I thought that the tape was a diamond pattern but to my surprise when I unrolled it, it was CHEVRON!  This project is getting better and better by the minute. I added my chevron washi tape to the edges of the block and VOILA….
 
Thrifty Valentine decor.

This is just the beginning of my love affair with the Silhouette.

  1. New follower! I love how many different things you can do with a glass block, but I hadn’t thought of Valentine’s Day! This is awesome!
