I've seen several people say that they can cut out digital elements that are in a designers kit with the Sillhouette. Is there a tutorial out there that can help me learn how to do this?

I've got one listed on my blog Amber b/c I couldn't find a decent one out there. Let me know what you think - I know those that have a Mac have to adjust some things but they've managed from what I've posted.
Here's the link:

Jackie- I saw your tutorial and was talking with my mom about it and she was sure that there was a way to do it without Robomaster. She was telling me that with the Silhouette studio software I shouldnt even need Robomaster and not to bother installing it.

Pam- Awesomeness! Im sharing that video with my mom and also going to look at all of her other videos too! Thanks so much!

Silhouette Studio Software is riddled with problems!!! I've even got a new beta test version and it has problems. I went back to the robomaster software to get the stuff cut I wanted to cut right away.

Amber - this is great. I cannot wait to try it. I just knew there had to be a way. I just wish that Silhouette would publish this stuff in the owners manuel, ya know?

Sharon - I'm sorry you're having such issues! Even with the newest release of the Silhouette software?

I end up going back to Robomaster forP&C, half of the time, SS doesn't give me all 3 registration marks so, it won't cut right

This might be because the white space in your image is covering them up. Try taking the eraser tool and running it over where the registration marks are.

I thought about that too but, I had the registration marks cover part of an image. I wasn't paying attention and it ended up ruining a sheet of magnetic paper.
