Thumbs up Silhouette digital craft cutter anyone?

I got the Silhouette digital cutter a couple of months ago, and I've been playing with it. It is PERFECT for digital/hybrid scrappers and card-makers. Does anyone else have this machine, and what have you made with it?

I used the "print & cut" function and had it cut out pieces of my greeting card, after I designed them digitally in Photoshop, with digital papers and elements.






This one I actually showed the process on my blog.

Anyone else have the Silhouette? I love it so far. I'm interested to see what you've made with it!

Your cards are great!
I wish I had a Silhouette for myself (Can you hear me, Dear Santa? LOL)
Does this machine cut ANY shape/font or just the shapes/fonts that come with it already?
xoxo

I have one! It will cut any true type font out there...I love it! I will have to show you later some of the things we have cut with it...but right now "lunch break" for robotics competition is over and I have to get back in there... we cut out titles for our "Display Booth" for robotics, spirit & sportsmanship signs, and the "vinyl cling" advertising our team on the side of our van!!! You can do other shapes too...just use the outlining tool and cut...

I cut out "MHR" our team name abbreviation out on the robot's chest.
OMGEEE! I SO wanna one Silhouette right now... Maybe this Xmas? Who knows? A girl can dream...

Wow, I'm so happy I've found this thread.
My Silhouette is standing next to me and we are not, yet, the best of friends due to a lot of trouble with the matte.....long story

But learning about 'Print and Cut' today, we have to make out again, because this I have to try myself. It really opens a lot of possibilities combining the Silhouette and all our digi-stuff.

Thank you so much for this thread.

Helle

Hi Christine,

I've had a Silhouette SD since June. I won it from Hero Arts & QuicKutz! I love it. I use it on a regular basis. You can see work on my blog.

I would like to buy one for me, but I am afraid it is produced only for the U.S. market, which means 110 V and other plug than the European standards...

Nope, they make them for Europe as well. I live in the Netherlands and I have one and it works beautifully
