The folks over at Silhouette are the nicest people EVER! I am thrilled to once again be giving away a Silhouette Portrait to a lucky Thrifty & Thriving reader! If you have been wanting one of these wonderful little machines, now would be a great time to purchase one, Silhouette has a special money saving promo this month on both the Silhouette Portrait and the Silhouette Cameo. I once again love this month’s promo, because all of the bundles include a $25 gift card you can use to download designs from the Silhouette store. The savings are BIG!
If you already own a Silhouette machine, they even have a great bundle for you. You will find all the details on how to order at the bottom of this post.
I love my Silhouette and I use it on a weekly basis! I used it to add labels to our organizational wall in our laundry room and I recently used the Fabric Interfacing to dress up an inexpensive muslin bag that I picked up at the craft store. I am not good at sewing, so I love the fact that I can work with fabric by cutting it out with my Silhouette and just using an iron to adhere it. Fabulous!! The Silhouette can do so many amazing things.
One lucky Thrifty and Thriving readers is going to win a Silhouette Portrait, which contains the following:
