Silhoutte black friday sale

Actually, there are two secrets. But first, the basic details.

Go to http://silhouetteamerica.com/shop.aspx on midnight 25th Nov 12:01 MST, and use the promo code BLACK to get 30% off any purchase (excluding CAMEO, download and gift cards).

You can also get the shapes for only 50 cents each! There are over 19000 designs to choose from!

The sale starts 12:01 MST midnight 25th Nov and ends Nov 28th.

Now to those secrets, or rather, the real goosip!

First, if you use the promo code GOSSIP instead of BLACK, you will get 40% off, not 30%. An extra 10% off for being loyal readers of CraftGossip.

Second, why is the CAMEO not in the promotion? Because it is hidden in a secret link! And we have that link. That link is

http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/blackFridayCameo.aspx.

You can only find the CAMEO through that link and it is on a very special price. Use the promo code GOSSIP to get the CAMEO at a very very special price (it is so special that we can’t reveal it). It is at such a special price that we recommend that you visit it as soon as the sale starts otherwise all the CAMEO’s at that sale price would be gone!

Remember, none of these links or promo codes are valid till the sale actually starts on the 25th of Nov  (Friday) at 12:01 MST.

So good luck everyone! And thanks for reading CraftGossip! Happy ThanksGiving!

Felted Daffodil Flower Tutorial Review – Gillian Gladrag

If you’re looking for a little burst of spring creativity, Gillian Gladrag’s Wet Felted Daffodil Flower Tutorial is an absolute joy to watch. It’s bright, cheerful, and brimming with that signature Gillian charm that makes even the most detailed felting projects feel completely doable.

In this tutorial, she focuses on crafting individual daffodil flowers using wet felting techniques — perfect for brooches, hair clips, or as decorative embellishments on other felted pieces. Gillian walks viewers through each stage: from pulling and layering soft yellow wool fibres to shaping delicate petals and forming that signature trumpet centre in vibrant orange tones. Her explanation is clear and engaging, with plenty of little tips that make a big difference, such as how to keep petals evenly shaped or how to blend fibres for a natural, dimensional look.

The project itself is small but deeply satisfying. Each daffodil comes together with that organic, handmade charm — no two flowers look quite the same, and that’s part of the beauty. The final result is a sunny, tactile bloom that captures all the warmth and joy of spring, made entirely from wool and imagination.

 

What makes this video stand out is Gillian’s infectious enthusiasm. She encourages experimentation, play, and joy in the making process. Her colourful studio, filled with other woolly blooms and projects, adds to the creative energy that makes you want to drop everything and start felting right alongside her.

Verdict:
 Gillian Gladrag’s Wet Felted Daffodil Flower Tutorial is the perfect project for both beginners and seasoned felters who love vibrant, nature-inspired crafts. It’s quick, achievable, and utterly delightful — a perfect little dose of handmade sunshine.
