I've been keeping a little secret from you - I bought a Silhouette and it arrived a few weeks ago. You might have guessed from some of my recent projects where I put it to use (follow the links to see the posts):
--clipboards
--countdown bunting
--jack-o-lantern jar
--cupcake liners
I just had to buy one when I didn't win any of the giveaways that were going on all over blogland a while ago - they talked it up so much I knew it would be fabulous. I have never used a Cricut or any other craft cutter, so I have no comparison - but I really enjoy the Silhouette. It's not perfect - I had it eat a couple of things, but it might have been user error (I am cheap so I tried re-using paper that already had cut-outs on it, so they got caught - oops!) and when I cut cupcake liners out of thick paper it didn't cut quite all the way through (once again, probably user error because I didn't change any paper settings) - - so maybe it's just that I need to know what I'm doing.
































I did the same thing...bought one because I couldn't win it! I love mine, but it did take me some trial and error. I would love the accessory bundle and would make some cute silhouette magnets (my kids, not the machine) to send to grandparents in their Christmas package.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I may need to add one of these to my Christmas list!
ReplyDeleteThe bundle pack would be great! I'd love to do something fun with the magnets for Christmas!
I would make Christmas pillowcases with the bundle!! FAB!!
ReplyDeleteI would really like to make some heat transfers but, if my daughter got wind of it, my guess is it would be all about the tattoos.
ReplyDeletewe would make some magnets!
ReplyDeleteOh my.....I love this machine!!! I want one!! I make birthday and holiday banner and this would make it SO much easier to make the lettering than printing it off the computer and cutting it out!!!
ReplyDeleteThe etched glass vases/candleholders. they could be some seriously uniques gifties!
ReplyDeleteI want one too! I love the idea of making banners or the etched glass idea is great too! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteLove this giveaway!! I would love to make some of those custom tshirts! Love the idea of giving them as gifts!! Love the Silouette blog too!!

ReplyDeleteThe first thing I'd make would be some cute new tops for my daughter. Just go out and buy some plain shirts at the dollar store, come home and ta-da! apply a little cuteness here and there and she'll looks like a million bucks! thanks for the opportunity!
ReplyDeletewant to make some etched glasses for NYE! actually i should probably learn how to use the machine first! I just pulled it out of the box! thanks!

I was just trying to figure out where to get stuff to make temporary tattoos! Good timing. I would use those for my daughters's birthday party in 3 months. I would probably make art for my youngest daughter's room with the transfer paper.
ReplyDeleteLOTS of T Shirts. My kids have BIG personalities, and I like to make their shirts show them off.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great giveaway! I love that you don't have to have a silhouette to use these products. I would make some shirts or decorate some bags for the holidays.
