Happy Friday! I’m so excited to *finally* be able to announce something I’ve been working on for the past few weeks…which is that Design Eat Repeat printables are now available through the Silhouette Design Store! I’ve been wanting to provide cut files for a long time now and it’s finally happening.
Now, instead of hand-cutting the designs, you can quickly cut and assemble them if you have a Silhouette machine. No more manual cutting & scoring, as I’ve already put all those settings in the files so you can whip up some fun projects in minutes.
I bought my first Silhouette Cameo back in college and it’s been an essential part of my behind-the-scenes prep work for the blog. I’ve purchased and tried other brands of machines and both times they ended up going back to the store because they just didn’t allow me to create my custom designs as easily as my Silhouette did.
I truly love and recommend this machine, which made the decision to add all my projects to the store easy. I do want to note that although I receive a small percentage of each download for having my designs in the store and may use affiliate links to products I own, I’m not sponsored or hired by Silhouette in any way.
The machine, mats, and blades are all things that I have purchased myself, so although I may be talking more about my die-cutting process in future blog just know that my reviews are based on my personal experience. I really want this new endeavor to not only make your crafting process easier when you want to make one of my projects, but I also want to connect with the crafting community of die-cutters!
My next task is to go through my 50+ blog posts and update the posts with the link to the SVG on Silhouette. That will take a bit, so hang in there! But I will be adding the Silhouette link in the materials section of all new blog posts for easy access.
So that’s it! As this site moves forward and I start shifting more towards paper crafting, I’m really excited for this opportunity for more crafters to be able to access my projects through the design store and am also looking forward to connecting with more paper crafters & die-cutters.
So I’m dying to know. Do you own a die-cutting machine? What do you create most with it? Leave me a comment below and let’s chat!

My granddaughter is getting married in June. She is having a S’mores Bar. I thought the Printable S’more Treat Box would be cute if we had everything for the S’mores in the box ready for the guest. It would look so much better than having everything just sitting on the table and guest just helping themselves to everything. I purchased the file in the design store and opened it up in Silhouette. Is it sized and ready to print? Do I need registration marks? How do I put everything together, are there any directions. You talked about your blog, How do I find it? Sorry for all the questions. I’m just so excited.

Hi Leann! So fun that you’re making these for your granddaughter’s wedding! How sweet! When you open the file from Silhouette, it is sized and ready to print. Since it is a print & cut design, you will need registration marks. My friend Melissa has a great tutorial for how to do print & cut > https://www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2017/08/beginner-silhouette-print-and-cut-v4.html
As far as assembly instructions, if you scroll near the bottom of the following blog post and click where it says “DOWNLOAD THE PRINTABLE TREAT BOXES HERE”, a PDF page will pop up that has instructions for assembly. https://www.designeatrepeat.com/smore-printable-treat-boxes/
Let me know if you have any other questions!

I have just come across your page and I love the content! I have a Cricut and was wondering if the SVG files are compatible. I would love to use the cactus box for an upcoming party.
Melissa says
Hi Jennifer! I believe all my designs in the Silhouette store should have an option to just purchase the SVG file that you could use on Cricut. If for some reason it doesn’t have that option at checkout, email me and I can find another way to get you the file!
