[scrappy_donna]

my number one wish atm alredy hinted to hubby about this but my problem is the shipping fee. it's super expensive shipping stuff to Saudi Arabia
so....i'd have to wait for the right time... he said when we have our vacation next year..to the Philippines lol!

I don't do much hybrid at all anymore, but I would loooove to have a Cameo anyways! lol

[cardinalskate]

Using scissors is seriously why I don't do more hybrid. I hate it. So yes, one of these machines is definitely on my dream list!

[HellePF]

I have a Cameo and I absolute in love with that machine.
I haven't been digiscrapping for almost a year, but now I look at all my digistash - and in the shop, of course - with new eyes. Love the Print and Cut feature, it opens so many doors in hybrid scrap

And it is not only the elements you can use. The papers is great for fill out the shapes and the again print and cut.

I absolutely LOVE my Silhouette! I've had it (the SD) for more than two years and I've made so many things with it! I think it's the BEST invention ever and even my husband Todd has said, "wow, you really got your money's worth out of that purchase"!

You can see all my projects using the Silhouette here on my blog:

Call tech support ... they seriously are awesome!

Is Cameo a better option than the SD? Anyone? I'm seriously considering it after I saw what it can do

[FireWolf]

I have the Cameo now and had the SD previously and in my honest opinion, YES, the Cameo is better for a few different reasons.
1. it can cut 12 x 12 paper...I still paper scrap so that is important to me.
2. it is quieter than the SD
3. Due to it's deeper footprint I no longer have isses with the paper coming off the mat due to it bending too much.

Yes and i also think the SD has been discontinued?

[Milmomma]

LOL, I have the one before the SD... yes its old. I could totally use a basic how to if anyone wants to lead me in any direction. I haven't powered it on in years and am a little scared. I'd love to figure out how to cut out flowers I've printed. Given I don't have the ability to do it all with one machine, would it still be possible?

I thought I saw both on Amazon. Oh now I really, really want a Cameo

[Rainman_mark]

So does it also print or do you have to print it first in your own printer and then have it go through the silhouette?

[Mari Koegelenberg]

Yes you print on your own printer and the silhouette reads the registration marks and uses that to figure out where to cut.

[mixedclawzz]

I got my Cameo for myself for Christmas. Best purchase EVER as far as crafting goes. I've used it more in the couple months I've had it than I ever did my Cricut which I would love to sell but I don't think anyone would buy it. Youtube videos helped me alot especially with figuring out print and cut.

[Beebo]

Where can you buy the Cameo without going online to get it?

[Mari Koegelenberg]

As far as I know they are only available online. You might be able to check with your local LSS if they have them available.

[NeverendingJen]

If you go to the silhouette website, you can actually search for locations that carry them. There are some places that do.

[heathergw]

my Archivers has them, but that's the only local b&m place I've seen them
