This post is brought to you by Silhouette.
You know when a post has that loooooong of a title BIG things must be going on over here on the blog! ha! ;) Well, I am not going to disappoint today! :) Silhouette is launching a brand new promotion today centered all around the amazing Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition software.
I’ve told you about the Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition software before, & I love it! The biggest difference is that the Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition software allows you to use your own images & shapes in addition to what’s available in the Silhouette Online Store. You can also find tons of free SVG files online & cut them out with your Silhouette. So fun! So keep reading to see how I did that to make this simple gift box, get the details of this month’s Designer Edition Promotion & enter to win your very own Silhouette CAMEO®! :)
Before I get to this simple gift box tutorial let me fill you in on this month’s Silhouette Designer Edition Promotion that runs from today until February 14th. When you shop here & use the code GINGERSNAP you can get the following deals & bundles. If you already own a Silhouette this is an awesome time to upgrade to the Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition software because it is 40% off using the code GINGERSNAP. Yay! :)
Here’s everything in black & white. ;)

2. The Silhouette Portrait™, The Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition Software, the glitter collection sketch pens, and the metallic collection sketch pens for $129.99 ($114 in savings)

*Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition contains all the same functionality as Silhouette Studio® plus enhanced designer features including:
- Ability to open, manipulate, and cut SVG files

- Sketch tools to convert designs into several styles of sketchable art
- Creative knife tools to allow you to clip designs using different patterns
- Enhanced eraser set to modify designs with more precision
- Built-in ruler and guide lines for precise alignment and drawing
Now I’m going to show you how easy it is to cut any SVG file with your Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition software. First I found this simple box file for free HERE. Then I downloaded it to my computer, & then I opened it up in the Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition software. Then I clicked the Cut Style button. (This is the bottom of my box.)
Once you have the Cut Style menu open click on the Cut button. Then you’ll see a red outline on your shape. Now you are ready to send it to your Silhouette. ;) Your Silhouette will cut wherever the red lines are. (This is the lid of my box.)
Then I assembled my box. I used some twine to tie on a tag. So cute! With hundreds of SVG files available for download across the web the possibilities are endless! With the Silhouette Studio® Designer Software you could even design your own creations! So fun! :)
I am so excited to be giving away a Silhouette CAMEO® today!
Winner will be announced & contacted on Monday! So hurry & enter! :)
Giveaway is open to U.S. residents only. Good luck!
Don’t forget this month’s promotion will be good through Feb. 14th!
