One of the hottest trends in stamp designs for 2009 has been the silhouette, a completely solid image much like a shadow. They're very versatile because you can stamp them in a solid colour to achieve a striking silhouette on a vibrant background, or you can play with stamping techniques (sponging and other direct-to-rubber techniques work well) to create an image with depth and dimension. This evening my friend Emily joined me for a quick class, making two projects, including a birthday card and matching gift box using two fantastic Silhouette sets.

Supplies used for the card:
* Real Red, Basic Black & Whisper White card stock
* Basic Black and Real Red Classic Ink Pad
* The Big Shot & the Top Note die
* Upsy Daisy stamp set
Supplies for the mini gift box:
* Real Red & Basic Black card stock
* Basic Black Classic Ink Pad
* Real Red grosgrain ribbon
* The Big Shot & the Top Note die
* Pocket Silhouettes stamp set
