What is a Silhouette?
ASilhouetteis an digital cutting tool. Similar to a home printer, it plugs into your PC or Mac with a simple USB cable. Instead of printing, it uses a small blade to cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric, magnet sheets, heat transfer, and more up to 10 feet long. The machine also boasts a quiet motor and the ability to register and cut printed materials. Silhouette has 2 different models, the CAMEO and the Portrait. You can also purchase downloadable fonts and graphics for an additional, nominal fee.
Now that you have all the information to purchase your new machine, which you will LOVE by the way, I want to show you what I just created with my new Silhouette Cameo!
For my first project using my Silhouette, I wanted to start out slow + simple. Isnt that the best way? I will say, I was pleasantly surprised how easy the machine was to set up and the instructions were very easy to follow. I only ran in to one snag along the way and that is when I went to cut my vinyl sheet. After playing around with the settings, I realized I could adjust the cutting area to fit my paper size exactly. A few minutes later, I was off and creating!
Let me show you how I created this beautiful Let there be Peace on Earth sign
I painted this old piece of wood, which is about 12 x 18, a deep red color perfect for the Christmas season. Once the paint was dried, the surface was ready for some vinyl!
After setting up my machine, I chose the words Let There Be Peace on Earth to adorn my sign surface. Let, there, be, on are the Channel font and the words Peace and Earth are the Champagnes & Limousines font. Both are fonts that I already had on my computer, so I didnt have to purchase or download anything. In addition to the words, I also wanted to add some fun circles around, and simply used the circle shape and copied them over and over so theyd all be the same size.
As for the size of the fonts, they are around 4 high and that height I just determined by eye in knowing how large my sign is. Again, the Silhouette software is very easy to figure out.
Once my words were set, I adjusted them to fit the size of my paper and clicked the CUT button.
Once the vinyl was cut, the sign was ready to dress. The letters easily came off the vinyl sheets and I was able to adhere them to the sign surface. About 10-15 minutes later the sign was complete. So easy! I will tell you, I made a similar sign for my sons room (which I never shared on the blog) and it literally took hours and days. This machine would have made my life SOOO much easier.
And this is the completed sign
Did I do good? What do you think of for my first time?
Wouldnt you love to create one of your own? There is truly an unlimited amount that can be done with this awesome machine. So dont you wait. Head on over now to take advantage of the huge savings happening NOW!
