My husband just bought me the coolest machine ever made!! I guess you could call it an early Mother’s Day present! I had no idea it’d be so easy to talk him into it. If I had known that, I would’ve gotten one years ago!!
Seriously though, we both love and use our new Silhouette Cameo for everything!! I’ve literally had it a week and I’ve already gone through 20 foot of black vinyl! It can cut just about anything.
Like a printer, the Silhouette plugs into your computer with a USB cable. However, instead of printing it uses a small blade to cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric and more.
Scrapbook pages * Cards * Custom apparel * Vinyl décor * Etched glass * Sketch designs * Temporary tattoos * Paper crafts
I told my husband I wanted a Cameo. He researched them and he bought one two days after I told him about it! He didn’t even tell me, just bought it! We got the bundle starter kit from Amazon and I got an extra cutting mat and an extra blade. I also got a fabric cutting blade which I haven’t used yet and a pack of sketch pens which you can actually draw with instead of cutting.
This machine isn’t designed for cutting fondant, but as soon as I find the handle to my fondant roller you better believe I’m going to run some fondant through there! There’s also a cutting blade (not sold by Silhouette) that someone created to engrave metal and even glass! Pretty freakin’ cool, huh?!
Like I said before, I’ve only had this machine one week today but here’s a few projects we’ve done so far:
Atlanta Falcons Etched Glass on a wine glass (this was a practice glass)
Custom Wall Decal – Love this one!
Custom Nail Art – Love this one too! This is black vinyl stuck on like stickers but you could also use the vinyl as a stencil and paint over it and pull the vinyl off after it dries! Too cool! This is an Instagram shot – Follow me on Instagram!
