My Silhouette Cameo rocks!

Today I'm sharing with you a few projects that I have made using

my Silhouette Cameo cutting machine.

This machine is so awesome.  I love what it can do.

This first share is of some invites I made for one of my sisters

upcomming wedding.

It took no time with the Silhouette to cut out all of the 

invites.  The hardest part is picking which design to use.

Have a look on this card here at how clean the Silhouette

cuts.  The leaves in this design are quite intricate and yet

they look seemless and there is no way I could have done

this by hand.  I used Distress inks, Peeled Paint, Spiced

Marmelade and Broken China on Speciality Stamping Paper

and then adhered my cut out design to this.

This little owl pillow box took less that ten minutes to make

and that included making the buttons and felt eyes.

I used dies to cut out the felt and inked around the edge of

his beak.

This design does come with eyes and a beak but I wanted to

add a bit of dimension to my box.

I have used a piece of cardstock from my Carta Bella kit for

the design and it literally took a minute to do.  

I purchased the design and a few seconds later it was downloaded

into my library, 30 seconds to cut it out, and then all I had

to do was peel the design off the cutting mat, fold along the 

perforated edges and add a bit of glue.  Super easy and super

quick.

They'd make cute little party loot bags.

The doily shape and the vine like leaves I made in this layout have been

cut using the Silhouette as well.

I'm so impressed with my Silhouette and am using it all the time.

It's nice not to have to buy a cartridge that I only want for one or 

two designs.  I've seen online that there are some creating their

own cut files for the Silhouette but so far I have been buying my

in the Silhouette store.  I have a subscription with them now and it's 

awesome value.  Plus every week as well as a free design there

is a pile of designs that get put on sale at half price.  The machine

also comes with a library of designs and also a $10- gift card to

spend in the Silhouette store.

I've been learning this week how to cut out stamped images with it!

I love it so much ♥
