Do you need a Silhouette?

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:

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.
 
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 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.
 
Quick question - do you find yourself using 12x12 paper or do you use all sizes with your machine? I see they have the portrait which only can only accommodate the 8.5 x 11 paper so was curious if I would be ok with just that.
 
i have a cameo, but i mostly use 8.5x11 sheets, because i use print&cut very often and i don't have a bigger printer. of course it depends on what you want to do with it.
 
since this thread popped up again and it's iNSD weekend... has anyone seen sales on either cutter (cameo or cricut). I am so surprised of the lack of "paper" scrapbooking sales during the paper scrapbooking holiday (since the official digi holiday is in November).

I really like being able to cut 12x12 paper because I make a lot of envelopes, mini albums and small boxes.

I just made these super cute rip envelopes for Mother's Day and I was able to use an 8.5x11 sheet of paper, but the largest size I could cut was 4x5:

alright, Maria... if you can do super cute envelopes like that, i may need to rethink my need for one of these! looove those that you shared!
 
You guys . . . mini rip envelopes. Anything mini makes me die.

Also, one of my goals this year was to send out more happy mail especially to my grandmother because she doesn't ever go online. All of my mail parcels are always made from my digi supplies and the Cameo--would definitely recommend getting one!
 
Chipboard!! That's awesome--been kind of obsessed with mini (of course) clipboards. I wonder how often you have to change out your blade?
