Easy (quick) sign with Silhouette

I am really loving my Silhouette!  I love to do quick and easy projects with it. The software is pretty easy to use and I like that!


This is one of my layouts. See all those flourishes?  I didn’t need them all, but I like to fill in all of my dead space.  The BEWARE OF DOG is a free font from DaFont.com.  It is called 28 DAYS LATER. I love the chippiness of this font.  The “welcome” is “English”.   Can you see where I might be going with these two phrases?





The flourishes had a bunch of tiny little specks that had to be picked out. I’ve been using a pair of tweezers to get into the tiny little places.






I have several of these decorative wooden pieces I bought from Joey’s booth before my favorite Peddler’s Mall closed.  I got 4 different pieces for .96 cents.  I sure do miss that place!  I painted it with some red oops paint.

After the red paint dried, I used some burnt umber to do a glaze on the red.

I did a dry fit on the vinyl pieces.  This is the front of the sign.

This is the back of the sign.

Last year I made this small red porch post. I love making things like this. Putting all the pieces together is so much fun for me!

This is where my new little sign will hang. I’m sorry for the pitiful picture. It was COLD and RAINY outside.  I used some twine to hang the sign, but I didn’t like how it hung. I switched it out for heavy gauge wire.








I hope you have some sunshine and warmth where you are!
