Giveaway: Clutter-Free Crafting with Silhouette SD

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure here.

This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Kari (thestablers@…)!!! Out of 289 entries facebook comments and blog comments} you were randomly selected as the winner of the Silhouette SD! I’ll be in contact with you soon or you can email me with your shipping information.

I’ve never been big into crafts — mainly because I can’t stand all the clutter they bring with them. Fortunately I’ve found ways to express my creativity without accumulating lots of “stuff”. For example, I really enjoy painting furniture or reupholstering furniture and then selling it on Craigslist. This gives me a chance to be creative, it brings in additional income, and I rarely have more than a few cans of paint and one bin of fabric to “clutter up” my home. I love looking at other people’s crafts and I’ve always liked the idea of paper crafts {cards, tags, scrap-booking, etc.} but couldn’t ever justify the amount of stuff I would have to accumulate in order to get started. But then I came across the Silhouette SD.

What is the Silhouette SD?

The Silhouette SD is an electronic cutting tool that connects to my computer allowing me to cut fonts and images in cardstock, vinyl, heat transfer material, and more — all with one little machine! The Silhouette plugs into my computer just like a printer and includes software to create custom vinyl lettering and other designs using any font already installed on my computer. That means I don’t need to buy {or store} any extra expensive cartridges!

What can it make?

Honestly, it can make all sorts of things! I’ve only had mine for a week so I haven’t even come close to trying everything out… but here are a few pictures to give you an idea.

  But one of the coolest things the Silhouette can do {at least in my opinion} is the custom vinyl lettering feature — which means I can make custom vinyl wall art for much cheaper than buying it from the store. {Plus I can make EXACTLY what I want using the fonts on my computer}

  Another thing I love about the Silhouette SD is that their website has all sort of FREE classes, printable instructions, and creative ideas — you know, for those of us who aren’t so naturally creative! And the final thing I love about the Silhouette SD is that one Simple Organized Living reader is going to win a FREE Silhouette SD and 3 rolls of heat transfer material.

    I love making note and greeting cards that say what I want them to say, instead of being stuck with the canned comments in store-bought cards.

    This is so awesome! I used to make cards, but now that I have a little girl, I’ve turned to scrapbooking.

    I like scrapbooking but it’s too big to get out and keep out. Making cards is all the same papers and stickers and techniques, but I can FINISH them.

  26. Katie F says

    I honestly don’t do any paper crafts, but I’d LOVE to start. This looks like the perfect tool for me to begin with.

  27. Shauna says

    I just started making my own cards & stationary to use when writing letters to people and I love it! I have never been a really “crafty” person but I really love the little pieces I make, especially when I know they will brighten someones day! Thank you for the awesome give away chance!

  29. Jill L says

    I would say right now it’s scrapbooking but I seem to be branching out.

  31. Morgiana Williams says

    I’ve been doing paper crafts since childhood and the Silhoutte SD sounds like an amazing tool!

  32. Teri Bennett says

    I always wanted to scrapbook, but hated all the paper scraps and don’t have any storage space. I had another cutting machine, which I quickly resold because the limited ability without having to buy all those cartridges. I would LOVE to win this!!!

    Favorite paper craft?!? How could I pick just ONE?!? I love using paper in so many of my arts and crafts. One of my favorite projects…and one I would like to do again…was miniature jointed paper dolls that were only about 1″ tall. Such Fun! Thanks for hosting such a fabulous giveaway!
