Silhouette Cameo Machine

What is Silhouette Cameo?

First, i want to start this post off by declaring that I've zero affiliation with the Silhouette brand. I've never spoken with anyone at the company, nor do they even understand I'm writing this post. The only real reason I'm doing my Silhouette Cameo review is basically because I am a crafter, and this product is my holy grail. It's amazing the things it can do, and exactly how enough time it can save, if you like to craft in so far as i do.

I first found out about the Silhouette Cameo about a year and a half ago. I had formed seen it exhibited in craft stores, but experienced no idea what it was. So I made a decision to look it up. On the website, the manufacturers explain the Cameo as "the best DIY machine. From customizing your apparel to personalizing your party and everything in between the CAMEO can help you create your own DIY masterpiece"

WOW! I didn't read other things (I don't read in to the nitty gritty unless I've the machine near me), but I understood I had to have it. So did I buy it? NO, not right then. Why you ask? Because it cost $299. That is clearly a BIG commitment.

Now I understand it could be possible for us women to drop $300 on clothes at the Kate Spade deal, so why was I hesitating on buying this machine that could so easily improve all my DIY crafts? I have no idea. Maybe it is the spendthrift inside of me, maybe because I couldn't use it before all my friends show it off, or possibly I wanted to save lots of that money for my weekend shenanigans. I couldn't tell you but let you know. I just knew it needed me over a time to finally take the trigger.

silhouette cameo 3 unboxing

 I’ll start by saying that this is my second Silhouette Cameo machine . I’ve had the original Silhouette Cameo 1 since early 2012, which was just after it was released. I have the Silhouette Curio and Mint machines as well. I also have the Cricut Explore Air and Brother Scan N Cut . I’ve owned several other Cricut machines in the past. I share all this to say, I’m not new to die cutting machines and software . Of them all, I’ve found the Silhouette Studio software to be the most user friendly, by far. I unboxed this machine the minute it arrived and quickly got to work following the instructions at the website listed on the decal that was stuck to the machine. Make sure you register your machine by entering the serial number.  Once you’ve registered your machine, you get a $25 download credit via email to be used in the Silhouette Design store . This credit expires one month from the date you enter it, so make sure you use it all up. If you don’t us...
