my new love: silhouette craft cutter (GIVEAWAY CLOSED)
Simpan kode iklan disini.
I told you this was big ...A couple weeks ago I was shipped a Silhouette SD Craft Cutter to test out ... with the understanding that if I didn't like it, I could send it right on back with no obligation. I couldn't resist! And, um ... I'm keeping the Silhouette, thank-you-very-much.
I've always been under the impression that craft cutters were for the scrapbooking set only. So while I can see how this product would definitely appeal to scrapbookers, the Silhouette is made for anyone who loves to craft. If you like to make personalized gifts, home decor, DIY clothing, or just awesome stuff in general, this is the tool for you. This slim little beauty can cut paper, cardstock, vinyl, and heat transfer material. I don't know how I crafted without it! Ok, that is a little over-dramatic, but the point is, I really love it.
The Silhouette hooks right up to your computer so you don't need a bunch of cartridges or extra tools. You can download literally thousands of images from their online store for a very reasonable price, or simply create your own using the included software. In my mind, this is its best feature, for paper cutting alone - it is like having an unlimited source of paper punches in every shape and size imaginable.
I can't wait to use it for ...
Of course, the first thing I had to try was the heat transfer. I couldn't resist decorating a few onesies for the baby. For the pink onesie, I created my own image using a free graphic and font that came with the machine's software (there is a whole image and font library built in). For the white onesie, I downloaded the flower graphic (detailed flower 1 by Sweet Afton) from the online store.
If you want to see even more examples of what this amazing little machine can do, just check out the Silhouette website or blog.
