Awhile back I was inspired to create some fancy pantry labels for our own kitchen and bathroom.
We sold them in the shop for awhile. Until I realized I didn’t really want to deal with shipping and orders, etc.
Call me a funny duck if you will, but I kind of like sharing things that you can make for yourself.
So today I’m offering up our Fancy Pantry Labels as Silhouette cut files for those of you who have a Silhouette cutting machine.
Please note that this project requires a basic working knowledge of Silhouette’s Print and Cut feature. If you have issues with that, please see Silhouette’s instructions with how to use Print and Cut files!
Supplies
- Inkjet printer
- Silhouette Studio Software
- Silhouette Cameo
- Silhouette Printable Clear Sticker Paper
- Fancy Pantry Labels Silhouette Cut File (save from my Google Drive)
Instructions
- Load one sheet of Silhouette Printable Clear Sticker Paper into your inkjet printer. Make sure it is loaded correctly for your machine (face up or face down).
- Download and open the Basic Fancy Pantry Labels in the Silhouette Studio software. It should give you the 8.5 x 11 portrait setting with Show Print Border and Show Cut Border checked on the Design Page Settings tab. If not make sure to select those settings. Note you can change the words and definitions in Studio before printing if desired.
- In the Silhouette Studio software, click on File -> Print. Find your printer and select the correct settings (portrait, etc.). Then print out one copy of the labels.
- On the Cut Settings tab in Silhouette Studio select Clear Sticker Paper from the Material Type list.
- Adjust ratchet blade on your machine as indicated in Studio. Tip: I usually set mine about 2 numbers higher than the recommendation. Perhaps it’s just my machine or my blade but that’s what seems to work best.
- Using a Silhouette mat, load the now-printed sticker paper sheet onto your Silhouette. (If you are unsure how to do this, please refer to your Silhouette instructions or Google how to do it.)
- Click Send to Silhouette in the Studio software.
Then just peel and stick on your favorite containers!
Care tip: Since these are printed on an inkjet printer, the ink will wipe off. Please be careful when wiping your labels. Use a dry cloth whenever possible. Worst case if you ruin them? Just print and cut some more!
What do you think? Pretty storage labels and containers make kitchen work so much better, yes?

Thank you! I love your labels. I don’t think I’d ever have taken the time to do it on my Silhouette but thanks to you, I don’t have to!
It was some work creating them, that’s for sure!
Man – you are one generous person Shannon.
Thank you.

These look great! I have some canisters that really need to be undated. They are looking old!
Here’s hoping the labels help then!
Thanks for posting this! I think adding the labels changes the overall look so much and refreshes the jars! Can’t wait to try it out
Enjoy!
Wow I’ve been wanting to create these myself,… Now I don’t have to… Thanks for sharing & pinning too!
Great! Enjoy, Brenda!
These are gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing the silhouette file.
You’re welcome, Kati!
I have a silhouette cameo. i was trying download to my computer… but cannot. once again i am blaming the mac, but perhaps it’s me. any tips?
I don’t have a Mac, so I’m not sure. Do you have Silhouette Studio installed? Do you know if Silhouette Studio files from a PC are compatible with a Mac?
I’m having a hard time downloading this template. Can you please help! Thanks!
I love it!
In what way are you having a hard time? You can’t find the file? Can’t open it from within Silhouette Studio?
Shannon I have a Silhouette Cameo however when I try to either open (nothing happens) or save it says download complete but when I go to download and try to open then no images appear just some gobblygook that looks like coding or such What am I doing wrong. I wanted to print some of these for party favours. So sorry to bother you so long after this post I notice in the comments some of your other readers had trouble with the downloads too.
Silhouette files can ONLY be opened in Silhouette Studio. To open the file you need to click on the link, right click to save to your computer. Then from within Silhouette Studio open the file. (It will likely be in your Downloads folder.) You would then need to follow Silhouette’s print and cut feature instructions. (I have added them above in very basic terms. For further instructions you could Google “Silhouette Print and Cut”.)
