Yep, you read that right! Silhouette is sponsoring today’s giveaway and you are not going to want to miss it! Keep reading…
A few weeks ago, I ordered The Silhouette Rhinestone Starter Kit and couldn’t wait to try my hand at making a craft or two! I followed the easy tutorial on how to use the Silhouette Rhinestones and after 1 failed attempt (yep, I cut the masking instead of the rhinestone paper!) I embellished this darling placemat apron for my daughter!
(Sidenote: If you haven’t seen my tutorial on the placemat apron, you must give it a try!)
Minus the 1st rhinestone mishap, this entire craft from start to finish was done in less than 1 hour! So easy and so cute!
I am not a blingy-type of person, but these rhinestones are fabulous! I can’t wait to embellish some cards with them! If you would like to get your hands on your own Silhouette Rhinestone Started pack, you’ll love Silhouette’s Promo for April!
Visit the Silhouette Store and add the following items to your cart:
A Silhouette SD
The Rhinestone starter kit
3 additional packs of rhinestones
And 1 Pick Me Up tool
Then Enter Code “SOMEWHAT” and all those items will only cost you $229!! Hurry, this offer expires at midnight on April 26, 2011!!!
Oh, and did I mention Silhouette is also sponsoring today’s giveaway!?!?!
Silhouette is letting me give away one Silhouette’s to a very lucky reader, and it just might be you!
To enter this giveaway, all applicants must be a follower of SomewhatSimple.com! (I think its only fair to reward people who actually like my site, call me a meanie, but its true!) Then, you can get 1 entry for each of the following items you complete:
1. “Like” Silhouette on Facebook and leave them a comment on their page
2. Follow the Silhouette Blog and leave them a comment
3. Follow Somewhat Simple on Facebook and leave me a comment on my page
4. Follow Somewhat Simple on Twitter and tweet about this giveaway
That means you can have up to 4 entries- so get busy and show me that you want it!!! Leave me 1 comment on this post telling me all you completed and I will pick the winner next Thursday and announce their name on my facebook page. Good luck to everyone!!!
And now for today’s link party!!!
Oh! If anyone knows how to code buttons for WordPress and would like to code mine for me in exchange for some advertising, please email me! I am stumped!)
