Retired Content: This article has been retired, not because the company has gone out of business – but because I simply cannot support this company. Becky Dykes, owner of the Silhouette Life Inspiration Box, copied/traced a project I shared online in a Facebook Group and began selling the file on Etsy under private listings… perhaps so I wouldn’t see it. I will not support or recommend products where company owners make unethical decisions.
An exciting new product launched at the All Things Silhouette Conference, and I was lucky enough for the creators to give me one to review for this blog post. What is it? It’s called the Silhouette Life Inspiration Box and it is a monthly subscription box service for die cutters started by Becky and Glenna from My Paper Craze.
How does the Silhouette Life Inspiration Box work?
The Silhouette Life Inspiration Box contains product samples from companies as well a project to get your creative juices flowing. Personally, I think it makes for a nice break from the day-to-day of running your business – or makes a great gift for a fellow crafter.
What’s in the Silhouette Life Inspiration Box?
Each monthly Silhouette Life Inspiration Box contains different products, with a retail value of at least $70. You don’t know what is in the box until it arrives at your doorstep! (Obviously, that would ruin the element of surprise!) While the September box is now sold out, here is a recap of what was included:
- (2) 12″ by 15″ sheets of Easyweed HTV (one purple, one black)
- (1) Siser pamphlet
- (1) Free month of font library access at Creative Fabrica
- (1) Blank wine bottle stopper
- (1) Screen printed transfer (wine bottle themed)
- (1) Vinyl squeegee
- (1) Stainless steel tumbler
- (1) Canvas wine tote bag
- (1) Package of white matte sticker paper (5 sheets)
- (1) Sheet of printed adhesive vinyl in 4 different prints with (1) sheet of clear transfer tape
- (1) Wine bottle apron and hat set
- Various weeding tools (heavy duty tweezers, a detail knife, and weeding tool)
Once you get your box, you can head to the My Paper Craze blog to browse for tutorials related to the products in the box as well as additional product information.

Can’t wait until November to receive my box!
Rhinestones and tools for doing rhinestones would be fun in a Silhouette Life Inspiration box.
I think this is a fantastic idea! I would be happy with anything in a box..though I like the idea of “related” things to craft a specific project..maybe a seasonal-related project would be fun, too.
Would love to win this! Looks wonderful.

Omg love this idea!!!! Can’t wait to get started!!
Love to see items you can purchase at wholesale prices from different companies that can be used.
Love your blog so much Christine! Thanks for all the hard work you do!
I’d like to see some of Ailhouette’s new papers/media that they have/will release.
I’d love the opportunity to try different products without a huge investment!
Oooohhh this looks fuuunnn!!! 😀 I am pretty strictly a cardstock girl, so this would help me stretch my cameo wings quite a bit!
I’m looking into rhinestone designing. I’d love to sample some rhinestones, I think they would be a good addition to the box 😊
What a great idea!! :))) Thanks for the opportunity Christine!
Such an awesome idea!
I would like to see pen holders & different blades in the box.
This looks amazing!!!
As always vinyls always needed. I’d love to see maybe clothing items for us to experiment on with the items included in the box. Tools like blades, mats, markers, silhouette store credits are also appreciated.
I would like to see vinyl adhesive and foil, not sure if rhinestone world is the only to offer it but it’s something I’ve been wanting to try.
Wow! this box is amazing… I would love to see some patterned vinyl and ideas….
thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!! I am still learning!
this is awesome….maybe printable htv??
I really have no idea. I’d just love variety
Love this idea, I would like to see planner stickers
I have no idea of what I would like to see in a box but would love fun surprises to play with every month!
Awesome idea!! I would love to see a box for the Silhouette Curio users like with metal sheets for stippling or etching and a tutorial.
This sub box looks like a great way to try new products. I’d love to see some patterned HTV in future collections.

I’d love to try out Oracal Oramask for cutting stencils!
I’d like to see something with the foil & adhesive.
Such a fun idea!
This seems really cool and fun! Rhinestones or even clothing ie t shirts would be fun to try
This is so cool! I would really like to see some use of dye cuts with mixed media, or any other things I can make with my cameo/curio!
These are great boxes. I would still like to see vinyl items, blades, items to put vinyl on (totes, boards & cups), Mint items, embossing items. Keep up the great items.
Very cute items!
The items in this box are amazing! I’d love to see some glass cutting boards and some patterned vinyl.
I would love to see glass etching cream and supplies.
Love this! Would love to see totes included!
I would love to see a post on how to create stencils to sell, where to get the best supplies at the best prices, and pretty much EVERYTHING to do with my silhouette! It seems like I just can’t get enough…
I’d like to see samples of new product releases to try before buying. There’s so many uses for the silhouette I can’t imagine not liking anything in placed in the box!
Not sure what I’d like to see. I only cut paper at this point so anything else would be new to me! I’d also love paper samples to see what’s new out there without having to buy whole packs of paper.
What a great idea!!! 🙂
How about some rhinestones….foil htv and glitter htv!!!!
Thank you for this opportunity!! I would love to try this subscription!! I would love to see rhinestones or some patterned HTV in a future subscription box!!
I would love to see floating ornaments with instructions
I would love to see useful tools, & designs. I pre-ordered a box, but I am not sure I can afford to do this every month. But I think it is a great idea!
Wow, I’m impressed! I’m a newbie when it comes to vinyl. I love surprises so having different goodies inside the box is the fun part of creating and learning new projects. I really want to create those cute tumblers.
This box looks A-mazing!
I would love to see some of the Silhouette specialty materials in the Inspiration Box!

Receiving a box of Silhouette goodies every month would be like Christmas every month when you open the box. What a great idea!
I would love this…..great concept!!!!!
This is a great idea, I love to see more vinyl stuff of all kinds
This would be so much fun to try! Thanks, Christine!
I would like new blades or glitter vinyl.
Sounds like fun. I think I would like to be able to skip a month, if the project was something I was not interested in.
I would love to see more of this and be able to brainstorm off these ideas!
I would love to be able to use new products before I go out and buy a ton of something and then decide I dont want t work with it anymore
This is brilliant! What a great way for people to learn how to use their machines and not get intimidated by everything thrown at them at once! Thanks for sharing, Christine!
Glass etching materials would be awesome!
I’m so excited about this subscription box. I love trying new products. I would love to see holiday themed boxes and different varieties of vinyl.
What a great idea for everyone, not just silhouette users. I can’t wait to see what is in future boxes.
glass etching items!!!
I’d love to see a specialty material like chalkboard or whiteboard vinyl! Thanks for the awesome giveaway.
Maybe an item to be included could be a cutting blade, either for vinyl or fabric. I’d like an opportunity to receive the monthly box.
Fabric project or glass etching kits would be cool 🙂
Printable vinyl!
I’d like HTV of all types to try.
Great idea! Many different products in one box.
I’m just a beginner Silhouette user, but I think this is a great idea! Would love to win a chance to try it for a few months.
