First attemps to get my Silhouette to produce something for me. Have to get used to the software, so I used a few existing designs.

Thank you. Fortunately my husband bought a lot of Christmas cards, so it's only the happy few who get one of these. I have yet to develop speed.

I think it might be addictive too. Well, what's one addiction more ...

These are lovely. There are some very fine lines, whoever designed these made a lovely job! As did you when removing from the cutting mat! (BTW who was the designer - will you pm me please if it's not permissible to post on the forum - many thanks.
I love my Silhouette Cameo (I have V1) and found that the software not too difficult I have just purchased the Designer Edition and am finding my way around that. I just love to make my own designs - both for my cutting and embroidery machines. I just love to see something I have designed being produced by a machine.

I don't know the name of the designer, they both come from the Silhouette site. I bought the own on the right today # 67141, design for $-.52 and the own on he left last year, #52944. I did the latter one first - and getting all the little parts out was indeed a bit of a challenge. The other one went much faster.

Thanks for the info. I'm also trying to get my head around Inkscape and failing miserably!

I should add I am hoping Father Christmas will bring me the gift of time. I have so many interests that I continually run out of day!

Not yet. Too many buttons in the software to master in an hour. But I'll keep on playing.

Same here. I only did a couple of simple frames last year, but when I got the email about a free design every day I thought I'd better take the cover of my machine and start using it. Of course I chose a design with a lot of very tiny details to make it easy :)
by basketkase 19 Dec 2014
LOL, Martine........the last time I used mine it did cut all the way through, so after adjusting it, it cut into the mat...GGGRRR........so I kinda gave up? (for now, anyway)

These are very pretty cards, I've seen these advertised and they are an intriguing toy that I don't have at the moment.

The Silhouette is a cutting machine that does not use dies but works as a plotter.

these were designs from Silhouette, not my own work, but since I posted this I have been creating my own. That takes time, the cutting is rather fast, putting different elements tofeether on a card can be fiddly.

Heel mooi,heb je dat uit papier gemaakt?

Ja, dikte zoals tekenpapier, blok van de Aktion. Dit is mat, glimmend geeft een "duurder" resultaat. Eigenlijk ben ik meer geinteresseerd in het snijden van stof, voor applique, maar voorlopig oefen ik maar op kaarten.
