Happy {giveaway} Thursday! I’m excited to share my latest St. Patrick’s Day craft and announce another Silhouette Giveaway! Plus info on Silhouette’s latest promotion…. Designer Edition Software! This is one of their most popular promotions! Are you ready for a fun day? Here we go!
St. Patrick’s Day Owl Craft
Who’s lucky?! I whipped up the CUTEST little owl pillow boxes for St. Patrick’s Day. I used my Silhouette CAMEO with the Designer Software. I filled the little boxes with chocolate gold nuggets. The little shamrock tag says, “Who’s lucky?”. These are for my son’s preschool class, but they would be great for family, friends, or anyone! They are sure to brighten anyone’s day!
They turned out so stinkin adorable! I love them! I love how the shape of the pillow box works so perfectly for a little owl.
I used my Silhouette CAMEO, Designer Edition software, Silhouette shapes #33498 and #37779, and the sketch pens to make the little owl boxes.
*Don’t have a die cutter? Here’s a Free Printable to help make these owl boxes!
Silhouette Discount: Designer Edition Promotion
Silhouette’s promotion this month highlights their Designer Software. There are some key differences between the Basic software and the Designer Edition software.
Some of the differences include:
- guides
- more knife options
- shear window
- more eraser options
- rulers
- rhinestone window
- sketch window
- eyedropper
- pivot point rotation
- SVG file compatible
It also supports SVG files. That way you can use all those free SVG files you find on the web! I think it is a lot easier to design my own shapes with the Designer Software.
Here’s a great video by Silhouette on differences between the softwares. Note: The Cameo and Portrait come with the Basic Silhouette Studio software. The Designer Software is an upgrade.
Discounts
- Silhouette CAMEO + Designer Software for only $269!
- Silhouette PORTRAIT + Designer Software for $179!
- Silhouette Studio Designer Software only for $24!

I would cut mostly paper but vinyl would be a close second :)
Fabric!
I’d cut paper things–I just bought some glass caboches & want to be able to use paper to personalize them in some way! This would work so well!
I’ve been wanting to try the rhinestones….how fun!!!
I would make so many things with this! Anything I usually have to hand cut, this would make those so much easier! SO great!
I’d cut vinyl
What wouldn’t I cut with it would be an easier question. I have sooo many projects in mind that I’ve started on my 11th notebook. I think I’d start with paper and make my mom a beautiful paper flower bouquet for Mother’s Day.
I would cut vinyl and paper and fabric and so many other things to make magical creations! :o)
I’d cut vinyl. (P.S. The owl is adorable!)
I would cut everything possible!
I would love to win a silhouette. Hope I get lucky this time.
I would probably start off with cutting paper and then try vinyl since my craft area walls are bare of inspiration. Then I would move onto all the other mediums Silhouette offered, that I have drooled over since finding the machine over a year ago -rhinestones, magnet, fabric.. oh the list! ;)
I’d make stuff firmly classroom :)
I would cut vinyl…for everything!! I hope I win!
I would love to win the portrait. I have a Cameo, but most of the time do not need the 12×12 surface. I think the smaller format would be great and take up much less space in my craft room.
I LOVE this! My friend has one, and uses it for EVERYTHING ! So… I’d use it to cut vinyl, and all the scrapbooking stuff, and stuff I use for my Girl Scout troop and she’d be happy to cut out the cutting for me ! :)
I would use it most for Project Life.
Thanks for the chance to win!
So many things I want to cut but first it would be vinyl.
I’m not sure what I would cut most but the first thing would definitely be business cards. :)
im not sure what i would cut, i really like the little owls you made and i would probably do lots of things like that:)
Vinyl!
I would cut fabric to make daughter cute silhouette shirts.
I would cut fabric to make my daughter cute silhouette t-shirts.
I’d make some cute Easter decorations!
I have wanted one for so long. I dream of making labels for everything!
I would cut out letters the most! Thanks for the giveaway!
I would probably cut vinyl the most! ( :
I would cut cardstock the most. Then on to vinyl. Thanks for the chance.
PICK ME :) i love the littlw owls :)
I’d cut vinyl and cardstock the most I think. Thanks for the opportunity to win a Silhouette!
I have so many plans for a Silhouette! I love putting scripture on my walls! So .. first of vinyl! My daughter is a 4H-er, so she’ll be using it a lot for presentation posters and cardmaking! Then, of course, I have a million labels to cut and cards to make and scrapbooks to do! So much fun would be had by this craft-loving family! Thanks for the giveaway opp!
WOW! Would love to win!!!
I would cut everything!!
I work at a senior living community and I would love to share the silhouette with our residents. They would love it!
Is the promotion still valid? Wanted to purchase and i’m just being taken to the home page :-/
Hi Veronica,
Yes, the promotion was supposed to be thru March 8, but you are correct. The special link to the promo isn’t working. ugh! I’ll email them and let you know what I find out as soon as I hear. Sorry about that!

Glad you got it to work! The rep just emailed me and said their server is having some glitches.
take care,
Linda
just wanted to thank you I finally update and got the designer’s edition after having a silhouette since they first came out.
Love Kristi’s work! Found her on Momastery
I would use the sktech pens for everything!
What a FAB giveaway!!! Oh the things I could create with the Sihouette! But I would start with a sign for my kitchen!
