@mikibell I’m going to do a weblog entry about them later today. I don’t know if everyone has gotten theirs. I do know that two of the six designs haven’t been posted yet. Yours was one of them.
But today. I’ll post photos and stuff today.
You can post yours! It’s one that hasn’t been shared yet, so I’d love to see it.
I’m not artistic at all, but love the Cameo I made my workplace buy. We use it mostly for creating stencils with which to spray paint labels on our road cases for our sound and lighting equipment.
@smigit2002 ooh, clever use. I needed a bunch of stencils for stuff but couldn’t be bothered to cut them by hand. $200 is a little pricy for me though.
@RiotDemon I use mine for vinyl cutting as well as paper. Heat vinyl I’ve used for shirts, indoor vinyl for wall graphics (this vinyl is removable) and vinyl for outdoor use, say, in car decals. The original selling point for my first Silhouette was to make stuff for my husband’s Case. He rebuilt it and painted it and needed a replacement decal, which I made with my original Silhouette SD. I’ll see if I can find the original and my copy, if you’re interested.
Here’s a video of me putting together a car decal (using the Light Box I got here on Meh).
@RiotDemon I agree that $200’s a bit much. However, if you don’t need the 12" capacity of the Cameo, they have the Portrait for as low as $105 from Amazon Warehouse deals.
We’ve also done vinyl decals for our van (though with less detail than @lisaviolet), and I’ve done some etched glasses as gifts.
@lisaviolet That decal is awesome, though! I’ve toyed with the idea of doing color, but don’t have any need to in my day job. My next project is going to be playing with printable vinyl, so… we’ll see how THAT goes.
@smigit2002 We used to have Disney annual passes (for over 25 years, just let them run out in October - we just never got up there) and we have Disney decals on the car. Decals I bought. So, when a couple of them wore out and needed to be replaced, I figured I’d try my hand at making my own.
There’s a Tigger, all orange, that one was easy. But I wanted a more fun Tinker Bell. I’d never seen one with different colors and I thought it might be fun to make. The trial and error didn’t thrill me, but once I got it down, I’d do it again.
@lisaviolet haha, this is true. This is why I must curb buying crafting supplies. I have so many things that I don’t find time for already… And I’d hate to spend more money on things that I’ll use briefly and put in the closet to be forgotten about for a year or two.
@lisaviolet Yes, let me tell you one day about the $400 no-drawstring dice bag I sewed because I didn’t like the dimensions of the $15 drawstring bags for sale.
@lisaviolet yes, and books, and the cutting wheel, and the self-healing mats, and the mistakes, and the more mistakes, and the myriad of unnecessary items
@JerseyFrank Ah, mistakes! Mistakes make me feel alive! Especially if I learn from them. Cause you’re never too old to learn. Or teach an old dog new tricks. Or something like that.
This deal comes at a lame time for me. I kind of really want it, I could do a lot of cool things with it I’m sure, but I also don’t know that I’d be able to find the free time to play with it and thereby justify the expense.
I did a price check on the previous version and it’s not any cheaper than this one. (When the 3 came out, there was a price drop on the 2, now the 2 has gone back up in price.)
@f00l A video from start to finish would be a long video. What the machine does is cut.
When I first saw something a Silhouette could do, it was for my birthday. A friend made me a scrapbook of our Disney meets. And she cut out letters that she used in the scrapbook with her Silhouette. (You can use any font that your computer has.) The cards and things I make I use the Silhouette to cut out the card stock, then follow the videos (I get most of my designs from svgcuts.com or 3dsvg.com. These come with PDFs that clarify what you need for each design and the designers have video tutorials for assembly).
Here’s a video for making vinyl snowflakes from start to finish. It says stencils, but what she made doesn’t make me think “stencil”.
While I’ve always found these cutting printers interesting, so far other gadgets have beat them out for our $ and time.
But thanks to yet another unavoidable youtube diversion, I now know how ball bearings are made. (Just wish the maker of this video valued my leisure time the same as me since they could have done the video just as accurately and interesting in half the time.)
@lisaviolet it kind of does. New models come out with new features and slowly but surely the old models become obsolete. I’m jealous because what you do with it is very cool but I don’t think I can justify the expense at this time
@jbartus Well, maybe, but the original Silhouette SD still works with the upgraded software, it uses the same tools (blades, sketch pens, etc). It’s not like I had to buy all new consumables for the Cameo 3.
I passed on version 2 because it wasn’t different enough from the first Cameo. The 3 has a longer body and storage. It also has the capability of running a blade and a pen, or two blades with different settings, on the same run. But other than that, it still works like the original.
But I totally understand not spending the money because you won’t use it. I have an embroidering sewing machine I’ve had for over ten years. I’ve turned it on, set it up and never got past that. I prefer the old one without all of the fancy settings.
@lisaviolet trade you sewing machine for cameo I just used my sewing machine to personalize stockings for all of my new teammates. Out of 17 names, I only spelled one wrong
@lisaviolet … this is dumb, but the print and cut designs, are they printed on the silhouette and then cut OR are they printed on a printer then cut by the silhouette OR some other way I haven’t thought of yet?? I have yet to use the pens with any machine, cricut or silhouette…
@mikibell according to the demo, the Silhouette software lays out the design and sends the design directly to the Silhouette Cutter (really a dot matrix impact printer with the head replaced by a knife head).
@RedOak@mikibell Yup, you can import basically any picture you like and use the Silhouette software to trace it. That’s what I did with the above Tesla and athletic logos. Alternatively, you can also print on vinyl, and then have the Silhouette cut that out.
What happens is: you import whatever you want into their software, trace whatever lines you want cut, and then tell the software to print from your printer. The software adds registration marks to the file. Then, once your printer is done, you insert the paper or vinyl or whatever into the Silhouette. It will then look for the registration marks that were printed, which tells it where to cut. Here’s a video showing the process.
@RedOak For print and cut, it needs to go to the printer first, to get the registration marks.
This is how I make the labels that my husband puts on his hydraulic links that he makes and sells. (I’d completely forgotten about this because when I did the initial run, I printed out over a couple of hundred sheets of labels, ten to a sheet, and put them through the machine as needed.)
@lisaviolet aha. That was not so clear from the above video. Seems like in this age of 3D printers, they ought to be able to send the “print” job directly to the Silhouette.
hydraulic links
So that sounds interesting. More info and pics please?
@smigit2002 yeah, I haven’t used the software yet… I have just cut letters/stencils and I can’t even remember how I did it I bought the roll holder that feeds vinyl straighter than I can, and it is a great time saver. I really need to find 10 minutes to sit down and play with all of the designs I have.
@mikibell Those are really nice! I love making practical things.
I use transfer tape for putting vinyl on glass, like the car decals.
The cut lines are a different story. You get those with white cored card stock. Most people don’t pay attention to them, they’re already awed that “You MADE this?”
But. They annoy me to no end. I’ve tried a couple of different things and I haven’t found a fix. I tried not using the machine to make the lines, but using a scoring tool (so the paper isn’t cut) and folding along the score line. But sometimes the core still shows up.
I also use (and this is what I usually end up doing if the white is really obvious) is find a marker as close to the color of the paper as possible and lightly running the edge over the folded area.
Check out the latest from Dreaming Tree. A recipe card holder and a darling box for cookies! And a teapot box. The teapot looks like it’s made with vellum and can have a light in it so it glows.
@lisaviolet you are a very bad bad bad lady!! I have so much to get made for Christmas, among paperstuff, embroidery and baking! I NEED to make the teapot for someone for Christmas. … bad bad bad indeed!!
@lisaviolet I upgraded and now nothing I save to drive will work right…either miscuts or not at all…any ideas? I updated firmware too, but it didn’t help…old stuff works fine. I am soooo needy today
@lisaviolet ok, uninstalled, installed, upgraded designs… wrote to jump drive with save to…, the same way I was before… (this is right, right??) … going to try again. (also backed everything up!)
It is cutting some of it, but overlapping the diagonal, and chopping Mary’s head off.
The design I got from design tree, it won’t even acknowledge it has cut lines… I load the file, hit cut, and it says done and unload mat… It does nothing.
@mikibell No, I’m talking about on the top menu below where it says “file edit view…” there are some icons. There is a printer icon and a to the right of that is the cutter icon. Click on the cutter icon. A menu should open up to the right of that.
@lisaviolet Done with Nativity… thank you!! still not sure why jump drive is not working, but I can deal with using the machine this way to get all done!! Need a longer usb cable though
Hey troublemaker, @lisaviolet, Michaels has 80% off Christmas stuff… 8.5"x11" pack is $1, 12"x12" pack is 3.99 and up, depending on the fanciness… Glitter, embellishments, etc included. I bought these pretty makeup cases for $4 and will put vinyl sayings on them…
@mikibell Aw, man…we’re broke! Sales have been so darned slow the past three months…and I got my clock! It’s the cutest thing and matches my bathroom perfectly! (And some other stuff we won’t mention to my husband to make my Curio work with bigger paper…)
And the place where I get my printer ink had a 20% off sale, so I got more ink…
After liking this test page so much (made using the Print & Cut option), I had to get the larger base and mats for the Curio. It’s “debossed”. The leaves and lettering look puffy. It’s pretty cool.
@compunaut I just knew it was too late (translate: too dangerous for my budget) to read this note-stream! I totally want this but have no earthly idea if I’d end up ever using it. Dang. A miserable day politically, it’s 3am and not a good time for making rational decisions, and my credit cards are in reasonably good shape and could take the hit. GAH!
@lisaviolet Thank you for the encouragement. I’m leaning toward buying it as, um, an early birthday gift to myself. Nine months early, actually, but in the same year at least.
My holiday cards, made with my Cameos (I was running both at once).
@lisaviolet Ooh, close-ups please!
@sammydog01 Closeups after they’ve all been sent and received. I have stalkers (you know who you are, Allyson).
And even then, pictures don’t do them justice.
@lisaviolet those are pretty amazing
@lisaviolet is it time to post them?? mine is sooooo pretty… did Allyson get hers yet??
@mikibell I’m going to do a weblog entry about them later today. I don’t know if everyone has gotten theirs. I do know that two of the six designs haven’t been posted yet. Yours was one of them.
But today. I’ll post photos and stuff today.
You can post yours! It’s one that hasn’t been shared yet, so I’d love to see it.
@lisaviolet
When you do do the log post, link?
@f00l I didn’t get it done today, there are 140 photos I have to go through.
But I did this this morning.
@lisaviolet
Much thanks for link. Looks like fun.
@Barney, see link above to @lisaviolet’s blog. It kinda starts with a full moon in a violet tinted sky. Betting there’s lots more.
I’m not artistic at all, but love the Cameo I made my workplace buy. We use it mostly for creating stencils with which to spray paint labels on our road cases for our sound and lighting equipment.
Looks like a great price!
@smigit2002 ooh, clever use. I needed a bunch of stencils for stuff but couldn’t be bothered to cut them by hand. $200 is a little pricy for me though.
@RiotDemon I use mine for vinyl cutting as well as paper. Heat vinyl I’ve used for shirts, indoor vinyl for wall graphics (this vinyl is removable) and vinyl for outdoor use, say, in car decals.

@RiotDemon I agree that $200’s a bit much. However, if you don’t need the 12" capacity of the Cameo, they have the Portrait for as low as $105 from Amazon Warehouse deals.
We’ve also done vinyl decals for our van (though with less detail than @lisaviolet), and I’ve done some etched glasses as gifts.
@smigit2002 Nice! I’ve used mine for glass etching as well.
Nothing as awesome as yours, though. Just simple names, those mugs look really good.
I did the Tink decal because I wanted to see if I could do one with colors.
@lisaviolet That decal is awesome, though! I’ve toyed with the idea of doing color, but don’t have any need to in my day job. My next project is going to be playing with printable vinyl, so… we’ll see how THAT goes.
@smigit2002 We’re going to a UMBC basketball game tonight!
@smigit2002 We used to have Disney annual passes (for over 25 years, just let them run out in October - we just never got up there) and we have Disney decals on the car. Decals I bought. So, when a couple of them wore out and needed to be replaced, I figured I’d try my hand at making my own.
There’s a Tigger, all orange, that one was easy. But I wanted a more fun Tinker Bell. I’d never seen one with different colors and I thought it might be fun to make. The trial and error didn’t thrill me, but once I got it down, I’d do it again.
@sammydog01 In Richmond? Enjoy!
@smigit2002 Go Spiders!
I saw that deal…hubby would brain me if I bought another machine!
P.S. I agree it is a great deal and hope to actually use mine for Christmas gifts this year!
@lisaviolet This is the slippery slope of knitting, too. This is how I ended up teaching spinning and weaving to pay for my looms and wheel stable.
@lisaviolet haha, this is true. This is why I must curb buying crafting supplies. I have so many things that I don’t find time for already… And I’d hate to spend more money on things that I’ll use briefly and put in the closet to be forgotten about for a year or two.
@RiotDemon I have things I bought over 25 years ago that I’m finally using.
“Oh, man, what a cool stamp, when did I get that?”
@lisaviolet Yes, let me tell you one day about the $400 no-drawstring dice bag I sewed because I didn’t like the dimensions of the $15 drawstring bags for sale.
@JerseyFrank I hope that $400 included the cost of the sewing machine.
@lisaviolet yes, and books, and the cutting wheel, and the self-healing mats, and the mistakes, and the more mistakes, and the myriad of unnecessary items
@JerseyFrank Ah, mistakes! Mistakes make me feel alive! Especially if I learn from them. Cause you’re never too old to learn. Or teach an old dog new tricks. Or something like that.

@jbartus Well, it’s not like it goes bad.
I did a price check on the previous version and it’s not any cheaper than this one. (When the 3 came out, there was a price drop on the 2, now the 2 has gone back up in price.)
@lisaviolet
Can you point to vid that show the process from design to finished product? I don’t really understand these things.
@f00l A video from start to finish would be a long video. What the machine does is cut.

@lisaviolet trade you sewing machine for cameo
I just used my sewing machine to personalize stockings for all of my new teammates. Out of 17 names, I only spelled one wrong 
@mikibell Thanks, but no thanks. I already have two. One I’ve never used. Nice, huh?
@lisaviolet … this is dumb, but the print and cut designs, are they printed on the silhouette and then cut OR are they printed on a printer then cut by the silhouette OR some other way I haven’t thought of yet?? I have yet to use the pens with any machine, cricut or silhouette…
@mikibell I think you send the design to your printer via the Silhouette software, then use the Cameo to cut it out. Yeah, that’s what you do.
https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/print-and-cut

I bought the roll holder that feeds vinyl straighter than I can, and it is a great time saver. I really need to find 10 minutes to sit down and play with all of the designs I have. 
Wouldn’t this look adorable with a rosette in the middle??
http://www.emblibrary.com/EL/ELProjects/Projects.aspx?productid=PR2070
Did someone ask for a “cutting machine”?
@TheMonkeyKing That’s so fake. Wolverine is not a real life person.
What’s the difference between a Cameo & a Curio?
@compunaut I am no expert, but I think the curio can do cutting on more durable materials, like metal, cork, etc.
@compunaut I have a Curio. I haven’t played with it yet. I know it embosses. Hmmm, maybe I’ll set it up this weekend.
@compunaut I think I’m going to play!

I have the blog entry with my cards, if anyone is interested.
http://journal.lisaviolet.com/lv/article/this_years_cards
@lisaviolet Those are amazing!
@lisaviolet
Those cards are beyond beautiful. Just looking at them: even with your machine, You made those? Wow.
@lisaviolet I promised pictures, but you are right…they don’t do justice!
@lisaviolet
My brother has a cutting machine that can cut vinyl stickers. Super awesome.
@MrGlass mine cuts vinyl as well. See the video above with tinker bell. I heart these machines!
Nowhere near as nice as @lisaviolet’s cards, but I made these with my silhouette…
@mikibell but I have two questions…how do I soften the bright white of the cut lines?
I am about to put vinyl on glass, do I use transfer tape or low tack tape like blue painters tape?
@mikibell Those are really nice! I love making practical things.
I use transfer tape for putting vinyl on glass, like the car decals.
The cut lines are a different story. You get those with white cored card stock. Most people don’t pay attention to them, they’re already awed that “You MADE this?”

@lisaviolet you are a very bad bad bad lady!! I have so much to get made for Christmas, among paperstuff, embroidery and baking! I NEED to make the teapot for someone for Christmas. … bad bad bad indeed!!
@lisaviolet but I need the upgraded version of their software to do use svgs, don’t I???
@mikibell yes. Let me find the link to the least expensive upgrade.
@mikibell http://www.svgtools.co/mobile/Product.aspx?ProductCode=silhouette-studio-de
@lisaviolet cool beans… I ordered it from amazon a year ago, but they sent the business edition instead! So now I have both…
@mikibell Ooh, you didn’t need this one if you had business edition! Only if you had basic. Business edition is the gold.
See if you can get a refund.
@lisaviolet can’t use business edition without the upgrade…
@mikibell gotcha. Now that I think about, I had desiger edition first.
@lisaviolet I upgraded and now nothing I save to drive will work right…either miscuts or not at all…any ideas? I updated firmware too, but it didn’t help…old stuff works fine. I am soooo needy today
@mikibell Try uninstalling the software and reinstalling. Make sure you save your library.
Let me know what happens, I’m home all night, we’ll figure this out.
@lisaviolet Have to make dinner for the family… will be a while…
@mikibell Okee dokee arteechokee,
@lisaviolet ok, uninstalled, installed, upgraded designs… wrote to jump drive with save to…, the same way I was before… (this is right, right??) … going to try again. (also backed everything up!)
@mikibell Fingers crossed.
@lisaviolet Same thing… I am trying to cut this design…
https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/view-shape/108847
It is cutting some of it, but overlapping the diagonal, and chopping Mary’s head off.
The design I got from design tree, it won’t even acknowledge it has cut lines… I load the file, hit cut, and it says done and unload mat… It does nothing.
Oh and I rebooted for the heck of it…
save and images
@lisaviolet yes, and the images before the upgrade work. Afterwards, not so much.
@mikibell Okay, two questions.
It’s saving now?
And when you send to Silhouette, are you choosing the cut style? Send to Silhouette --> Adjust Cut settings (bottom of the right menu)?
@lisaviolet I have been saving to a jump drive all along… let me try the send to option…
@mikibell same thing… job complete, unload, but no action… sounds like my husband!
@mikibell No, I’m talking about on the top menu below where it says “file edit view…” there are some icons. There is a printer icon and a to the right of that is the cutter icon. Click on the cutter icon. A menu should open up to the right of that.
@lisaviolet ahhhhh… trying that with the angel… let’s see…(duhhhh!!!)…
@lisaviolet Ok, angel cut, but blade setting wasn’t right… will fix that next cut… trying nativity…
@mikibell fingers crossed…
@lisaviolet Done with Nativity… thank you!! still not sure why jump drive is not working, but I can deal with using the machine this way to get all done!! Need a longer usb cable though
@mikibell make sure the jump drive isn’t locked. Or try a different one, there might be a problem with that particular drive.
Happy crafting!
@lisaviolet will try a new jump drive…thank you for everything!
I made these for the monster’s girlies…Chapstick holders…
@mikibell adorable! They’ll love them.
Hey troublemaker, @lisaviolet, Michaels has 80% off Christmas stuff… 8.5"x11" pack is $1, 12"x12" pack is 3.99 and up, depending on the fanciness… Glitter, embellishments, etc included. I bought these pretty makeup cases for $4 and will put vinyl sayings on them…
@mikibell Aw, man…we’re broke! Sales have been so darned slow the past three months…and I got my clock! It’s the cutest thing and matches my bathroom perfectly! (And some other stuff we won’t mention to my husband to make my Curio work with bigger paper…)
And the place where I get my printer ink had a 20% off sale, so I got more ink…
After liking this test page so much (made using the Print & Cut option), I had to get the larger base and mats for the Curio. It’s “debossed”. The leaves and lettering look puffy. It’s pretty cool.
@lisaviolet I hear you… I spent gift cards at Joanns and “saved” $400…hubby says if I save us any more money, we will be broke!
@lisaviolet pretty de embossing
@lisaviolet @mikibell
FYI: Woot (Home and Kitchen) has Silhouette Cameo 3 Starter Bundle $189 & accessories today
@compunaut I just knew it was too late (translate: too dangerous for my budget) to read this note-stream! I totally want this but have no earthly idea if I’d end up ever using it. Dang. A miserable day politically, it’s 3am and not a good time for making rational decisions, and my credit cards are in reasonably good shape and could take the hit. GAH!
@magic_cave I’ve had a Silhouette machine for a few years now and I got the Cameo 3 last year when it first came out.
My usage has gone up immensely.
I could go on forever about how much I like this machine. (I almost did.)
My most recent card:
@compunaut Shared on Facebook.
@lisaviolet Thank you for the encouragement. I’m leaning toward buying it as, um, an early birthday gift to myself. Nine months early, actually, but in the same year at least.
Well, if you decide to get one and have any questions about how-tos or where to get the cheapest supplies, I’ll help you as much as I can.
To paraphrase Crocodile Dundee:
That’s not a cutting machine. THIS is a cutting machine:
(I wanted it to start at the 60 second point)
