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!

Winning a Silhouette CAMEO will probably be the only way I’ll ever get my hands on one. I’m always drooling while reading about projects done with a SC. I’d just be in HEAVEN if I won one. Thanks for the chance to make my little dream come true. :)
I would be making signs all day long if I had a Silhouette! I can’t wait to get one.

Your owl is adorable. I would love to make some of those. I think I would use the Portrait mostly for vinyl at first. I have so many ideas on how to decorate my craft room but someone is not reading my wish list. I would so love an electronic cutter.

Paper followed by heat transfers are what I cut most on the Silhouette. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
It would be hard to know what I would do most with the Silhouette. I would either cut fabric, vinyl, or I love the thought of customizing all my glass baking dishes with our name for potlucks!
