Maple Manor

I recently discovered an online company, SVG Cuts. They have terrific cutting files for the Silhouette. (Files are also compatible with other cutting machines.) I think I bought one of the most complicated designs they have. What a way to start! I also got caught up in the voting for SVG Cuts' bid to win Martha Stewart's "American Made" contest. And win they did!

Here are all the pieces for my project.


Mary and Leo (SVG Cuts) shoot terrific videos of their projects. The video, brief printed directions, and common sense made the Maple Manor easy to assemble.


I took the manor outside to get some pictures.






The Maple Manor looks best at night.


The back of the manor has an opening, and battery powered tea lights make the windows glow. I made a stand for the middle light.


The top of the tower lifts off, and I put a light there too.


I took this last picture in the dark.

    Great job, I have been buying SVG files for a while and they just keep getting better every week. Hang around, the ride has been fun.

    Thanks for sharing!!!! Not owing a cutting machine I would have never known it was capable of doing something like this! What patience you must have! Great job.
