Silhouette gave me some of their new gold printable paper to try and it is amazing! I was able to make these labels for my homemade strawberry jam. I will be sharing the recipe later.

First I designed a label.

Strawberry Jam Labels PDF

I created a PDF with many labels on a page and opened it in the Silhouette software. I placed a frame (from the Silhouette Artisan Label Set) around  each label.

Now here is the cool part. Select file, then registration mark settings, then click show registration marks (I did default/auto). Then choose send to silhouette. Print the labels on the gold foil right from the design studio on your printer. See the black square? That is one of the registration marks. Place printable foil on cutting mat.

Load mat into machine. Choose select registration automatically and let it do its thing. Set cutting settings for the printable foil and cut!

Peel off labels and stick on your homemade jam! I used some elastic gold cord to cover the lid with a vintage handkerchief.

So fun to have created my very own labels! Imagine the possibilites for tags and labels for all of your homemade gifts!

  1. I love love love your labels – so pretty. The vintage hankie is the perfect touch too – my daughter collects them and they are all so artistic. I made strawberry jam this summer too – along with raspberry jam, crab apple jelly, grape jam and jelly, and pasta sauce – I would love to have pretty labels for the jars I give away. On Saturday I am teaching a friend to can salsa so I’m looking for fun labels for that project. I’ve been taking in mending and doing alterations {groan} to save up for a Cameo – I am halfway there, but it’s slow going. Being committed to debt free living sometimes stretches one’s patience. It would be so very amazing to win this! Thank you so much for the opportunity Cindy – your blog is always inspiring.
