Anyone got a Silhouette Cameo?

[DharmaBumpkin]

I was given one for Xmas and am about to start using it - have been slack I know but Jan and Feb are busy months!

Wondering if anyone else has one and would like to share inspiration?

Ooooh you lucky thing! I really want one of these.

Thanks :) Was feeling very lucky but now am almost overwhelmed by the possibilities! Which is a nice problem to have, I know!

Can you get it to cut any shape or do you have to download shapes from it's site? How do you get it to cut your own designs?

You can download shapes for 99 cents from the site, they are then adjustable so one shape does all sizes.

There are also basic shapes on the software eg circles, hearts etc. I haven't had the time or creativity to try to design my own shapes yet Have stuck to the freebies!

I definitely have Cameo envy. I already have a Craft Robo which is only a year old so cannot justify a Cameo yet.

I am a member of the UK scrapper forum. It has a whole area for Robo/ Cameo users. When you have been a member for a months you are allowed to download designs for free so lots of inspiration. If you are having problems doing your own designs you can ask for help from more experienced users.

Hope that helps.

Dustin that is fab, thank you :) Have joined and had a look around. Just what I needed to get me over the fear of starting!

Your welcome!

I have found the site really helpful. When you have been a member for 28 days then you are allowed to download templates etc. I found the tutorials great and have learnt so much. Also Graphtec who make the Robo/ Cameo also post on there to try and help if people are having problems.

Happy crafting!
