Congratulations to lucky number #274 Aimee Jongejan!
Aimee, I’ve sent you an email!
For the rest of you…stay tuned. I will be posting details for the Black Friday Silhouette deal in a new post very soon. For those of you already mapping out your shopping strategy, I’ll tell you that Silhouette is offering a 30% discount on the entire store starting on Black Friday, and with a special OBB code you can get another 10% on top of that. So yes- you can snag a Cameo for 40% off! They will however sell out; there are limited quantities, so think about it and if you want one, be ready to pull the trigger! All the deets are coming soon!
If you’re not familiar with Silhouette, it’s a digital craft cutter. It’s sort of like a computer printer, but instead of having ink, it has a blade, so it actually cuts out designs.
Using the Silhouette software on your computer, you can design just about anything you want. The machine itself comes with a library of 50 exclusive digital designs, and you can purchase from a huge library online. One thing I love is that there are no cartridges, like some other craft cutters use, everything is online and it’s so quick and easy to get shapes, fonts, and projects. It’s literally about 1 click and it’s ready to go. It also cuts any custom font that is in your computer already.
You might remember last year when we gave away a Silhouette SD. So what’s so great about the Cameo? It’s bigger and better folks! The new Cameo cuts paper up to 12 inches wide and up to ten feet long. Let me show you some things you can do with it.
It’s a scrapbooker’s dream, obviously
But you can do so much more with paper. One of my favorite things to do with my Silhouette is make 3-D designs, like these little goodie containers. These literally took less than 10 minutes to whip up!
And I love these advent calendars that have been popping up on craft blogs
And foodie fun galore…
The machine can also cut heat transfer material, and make rhinestone templates so you can embellish clothing and accessories
Our friend Ashley made these aprons for Kate and me using my handwriting and doodles that Amanda turned into a font you can download! Love love these.
Then I stole Ashley’s idea and made shirts for my kiddos
You can also create stencils and use fabric paint. I love this valentine bunting from Crap I’ve Made.
The options are endless when it comes to vinyl. I’ve done a lot of projects at home with vinyl and I love it for little things, like labeling
You can put it right on your walls (and easily remove it too)
And you can even replace the cutting blade with pens and have it draw these cool designs. I make a lot of cards this way, it makes me look super artistic! (The black floral design is actually drawn on with pen)

I would love love love one. The possibilities are endless. This time of year I would do Christmas decorations etc. Oh you would make me so happy!
I want to label everything! Somehow everything just seems cuter and more organized with a nice little label on it.
I SO want one of these. I can’t decide whether I would start with making fabric appliques or fabric stencils.
I just moved in to a totally white and boring apartment and this could really help me spruce the place up! Plus I think a scrapbook of my new nephew is on the list!
I would love to have the cameo so I can use if for vinyl designs and also for adding that special touch to party food & decorations! I sure hope I win.
I really want to do some glass etching! I think I would go crazy!
Oh my goodness… So many possibilities!!!! Christmas crafting or making something for my daughter to wear would def be at the top of the list! If I get it I’ll totally send ya pics of whatever awesomeness I manage to make!! ; )
I would make labels!
I’d start channeling my inner craft person for everything!
I would absolutely LOVE to win this bad boy! There are just so many pinterest projects that I have to do and this would make them SO much easier 😉
i have been dying to get one…i have a cricut but it is so expensive with the cartridges and can’t afford them anymore. I love, love, love the Silhouette!!!
Oh, I have so many great projects from pinterest that I want to make- I would start with some vinyl lettering for decorating for the holidays.
I would LOVE this for so many craft projects!!! Fingers crossed!
I would love to make some stencils with them!
I will use this to make Christmas decorations, since I don’t really have any–and then my apartment will look more like home 🙂
I would love one of these amazing machines to cute-fy my home! What to start with? How about cute vinyl signs for my home. (I’ve wanted a rustic home rules one).
I would LOVE it for scrapbooking! I am way behind and this looks like it would help me catch up! 🙂
I love to scrapbook, and I need to start working on my wedding one anyday now. This would help get me motivated.
I would start with organization, making cute labels for the pantry containers.
i would spice up all those boring white onesis for gifts.
It would be handy for some Christmas ornaments that I should be making right NOW!
I would LOVE to have one of these to make party decorations, cards and appliques!!!
I would definitely get right to work on my scrapbooking. I’m so excited for the larger cutting area of this machine. It will also allow way more flexibility in home decor projects.
I would use it to make some birthday banners I’ve been wanting to make. So cool!
Oh my gosh why would I not want one of these!! But I think the first crafty thing I would do would be vinyl on cute plates to give away to my neighbours etc. for Christmas gifts!
I would love one of these to help with making decorations on the fly for parties and such!
I want a Silhouette Cameo because that machine just has endless possibilities! I love to scrapbook, make cards, and create home decor — a Cameo can do all of that and what fun it would be!
