Pin-spiration Monday 20: #Silhouette Cameo


I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July! It is hard to believe how fast summer is flying by. I have to say that I have been so busy since my daughter has been out of school. It seems like I have been on the go none stop. Now we are getting ready for the camping trip. After the camping trip comes another trip.  I am ready for a vacation from the vacation...LOL! 

I know once things start to slow down a bit, I will have time to do more projects. One of those project is going to be using my Silhouette Cameo! I will have a ton of things that I will need to document for my scrapbook and my cutting machine is going to come in handy. The Silhouette Cameo can be used in many different ways. It can cut vinyl, fabric, and paper. There are so many projects that can be done using this awesome machine!

So for this week for Pin-spiration Monday, we are going to focus on some projects that you can do on your Silhouette machine! You can follow the Silhouette board here.

This is so cute how this is done using fabric. The Silhouette Cameo can cut fabric. Make sure that you use the blade that is for the fabric cutting only and do not use it for anything else.

This is so cute and there are many different ways you could go with this. You could easily change the flower shapes to create something completely different. What is nice about the Silhouette cutting machine, is you can go on to their site and buy shapes for .99 cents! Yes! I said .99 cents per shape. This is one of many reasons why I bought this machine because of buying shapes that I only want to use and not all shapes in a package, like you see with machines that uses cartridges.

So there you have it, some Pin-spiration on projects that can be done using the Silhouette. Don't forget to follow me on Pinterest boards here and you can find more ideas by going to my Silhouette board here.
