I am thrilled to announce that I will be giving away a Silhouette Portrait! If you have been wanting one of these wonderful little machines, now would be a great time to purchase one, since Silhouette has a special money saving promo this month.
I love my Silhouette! I used it to make some Easter versions of the Cupcake Candy Jars. I cut up the cupcake wrapper and the cute little chick topper and added it to the top of the cupcake. For complete instructions on how to make these candy jars, refer to this post HERE. To make the topper I taped a toothpick onto the cutout and pushed it into the caulk while it was still slightly wet. I made sure to let it try just a tad so it was just a little stiff.
One lucky Thrifty and Thriving readers is going to win a Silhouette Portrait, which contains the following:
How to enter: Just leave a comment on this post letting me know what you plan to make with your Silhouette Portrait  if you win (cards, home decor, party supplies, clothing, your options are endless!)
