1st Birthday card & 1st Silhouette Cameo project

Hello guys,

Hope you are having a lovely lazy Sunday and/or doing something you enjoy ;)

I have been spending time getting to know my latest purchase the Silhouette Cameo! After a long hard think I decided my beloved Pazzle was being neglected  largely due to the fact that it was too much hassle to set up and run on my Mac. One big downside for me was that even though I loved everything about the capabilities of the Pazzle one thing they didn't get right was not making the software Mac compatible.

Of course you could run boot camp  I used VM fusion but I found every time I opened it up it would freeze.

Anyway I now have the silhouette and even though it can't cut as many materials as the pazzle it does have an optical eye for print and cutting, it's Mac compatible and it can now take a 12 x 24" mat. I also read somewhere that a new blade is in the making enabling the cameo to cut thicker materials ;)

Here is my 1st card using the silhouette and a new cutting file from The Cutting Cafe' - 0 - 9 shaped card sets and templates.

I made this for my friend's baby girl who turned 1 on Saturday. The file was an SVG which I can use in my silhouette software as I upgraded to the Designer Edition.

The image was free clipart which I found on Google images and and the silhouette did a print and cut perfectly. I chose to have the larger white border around the image but you can have as little or as much as you like another great feature.

I will be back with more projects to share soon 

Hugs
