One of the fun things about having a craft blog is that once in a while I get to test out new craft products and sometimes even give them away! Today I'm going to be sharing a little bit about my experience with the Silhouette SD and their tattoo paper.The Silhouette is a digital cutting tool that works through your computer. It allows you to cut all kinds of shapes along with designing your own shapes as well. Being able to design my own cut images was the most appealing thing about the machine to me. It's nice to not be limited to just the Silhouette designs (as cute as they may be). The Silhouette can cut paper, heat transfers, adhesive vinyl, stickers, and tattoo paper.
For cutting pre-made images, the Silhouette is pretty easy to use. Like any piece of technology, it does take some time to learn all the in and outs. I'm currently still learning how to design my own images. There software is very similar to photo editing software so many of tools I'm already familiar with.
Tattoos printed on Silhouette tattoo paper and cut with the SilhouetteIf you're like me, you might be wondering how the Silhouette can cut out the exact image of an item printed on a separate printer? Answer, when you set up your item to print and cut, it also prints registration marks. The Silhouette then reads the registration marks and knows exactly where the printed item is. I'm telling you this because when I first set out to make the tattoos, I was a little hesitant because I wasn't sure how this part would work. I was concerned I would have to line up the images to the blade or something but that wasn't the case at all. It ended up being really easy to print and cut the tattoos.

What I really like about the silhouette is the fabric option. I am not a great sewer, but I can just imagine all the cute images I would be able to cut out with the iron on backing for. I would love to make some pillows and iron cute bird images. I also love the vinyl feature, my dog max has a little doggie "corner" in the kitchen and I thought it would be so cute to cut out a vinyl image of a picket fence his hight with some grass and put it in front of where his bowls are! Really its such a versatile machine I could do anything with it!
(also if my comments appears more then once sorry, I hit the back button by accident and am not sure if it went through the firs time)
