If I mention a feature of a product here, it is one that I have used and verified personally | By Amanda on June 8, 2016 I am not sure where to start with this product review because I have nothing but good things to say |
Whether you're a novice creating a simple gift box, or a pro creating paper castles and models, the Silhouette can make your crafting quicker and easier.
24I would like to point out that 3M the makers of Scotch tape and Post-Its have a wonderful product called "Print To Last" paper, which is an almost indestructible paper-like plastic material designed for laser printers; it is very useful for crafts and industrial applications | Most importantly, it seems that Cricut support people either know the software or they know the machine, but not both |

Just cut a shape or phrase in vinyl with your Silhouette and use it as a stencil to etch any glass object with your favorite etching creme, creating a customized new look | The Cameo software will print registration marks on the printed sheet, and when the printed sheet is then loaded into the Cameo machine, it uses an electric eye to scan for the registration marks, and will synchronize and align the cutting with the pre-printed images |
This allows me to create a wide range of crafts.
16This turned out great and will be enjoyed for years | I have read that Cricut blades and cutting mats can be used with the Cameo, but have not experimented with this; some alterations may be needed |
---|---|
The user can specify where the cuts are to be made relative to the printed shapes, or the software can automatically figure it out | I picked this particular bundle because I knew that I would need a couple mats and a few blades as well to get me started |
The Cricut is not intended for cutting out pre-printed materials; it is intended to cut out shapes in different materials of materials of different colors that can be later assembled to form a multi-colored overall shape.
