I’ve just arrived home from the November All Things Silhouette Conference for 2019 and so many ideas are hitting me. I am making notes for when I get a chance to start creating again.
I wanted to share a project I created and put in the Silhouette Showcase room at the conference.
This is an acrylic etched with the Silhouette Curio. It is a lighted base that can be found at Craft Chameleon and the acrylic is specifically sized for the base.
This is one of my favorite ones that I have etched for the base.
Acrylic light base by Craft Chameleon found HERE
There are several different acrylic shapes that fit in the lighted bases and also Curio Templates for all those shapes.
I LOVE the Curio templates to help hold my blanks in place!
Thank you to Craft Chameleon for allowing me “test” this one out for them to share with everyone at the ATS – Showcase.
I couldn’t stop there though. I etched 150 of the 15/16″ acrylic discs and gave those out to the attendees of all the Ultimate ATS attendees for the Friday classes in their goody bags.
For these I added a wine charm to the bag but they could also add it to a key chain or other type of hardware too!
I had a few extras and turned mine into a pair of earrings that I wore this weekend too!
And yes, there is a Curio template for these charms too! I was able to etch 10 charms at a time.
And I want to share this with all of you because I think it is so neat.
I was able to use my Business Edition software to connect to 6 different Curio machines to etch 30 snowflake ornaments during the conference.
It’s a long story on why but where else do you get access to a room full of Curios.
Next time, I’ll try even more!
Are you just getting started with the Curio? I recommend starting with the Silhouette metal etching sheets and practicing first.
Here is a step by step tutorial on how I do that – Beginner Curio Etching Metal.
Want to learn how to etch on acrylic? I just recently launched an online class on my Teachable site to show you how.
Check it out HERE along with my other classes that are available.
Or if that is not enough, come join us for a full weekend of Curio projects on May 1-3, 2020 at the Curio Retreat in Woodbridge, VA!
Grab your seat quick as we are already over 50% full!
I would love to see your projects feel free to post on my Facebook group at Silhouette Secrets with EllyMae.
Enjoy!
