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.
Okay, on to the fun stuff:
One lucky person will win a Silhouette SD

We looked into a silhouette when we were designing our wedding invitations - my husband created a pop-up barn, in which there were two barn doors (a yee-haw, or an aw shucks), and the recipient returned whichever card contained the appropriate response for them. We could have saved so many hours with an X-acto knife, had we been fortunate enough to have the silhouette! With my memories of invite-crafting finally fading, I'm ready to start the next silhouette-worthy project - I've turned several of our favorite wedding photos into simple silhouettes that I plan to make into a wall hanging. They would look so nice cut with the silhouette!

I have been wanting one of these for quite a while. I, like you, like the fact that these don't require you to buy their cartridges.
I'm really wanting to make vinyl decals and also cut out the circles for my button maker. Accurately cutting those is a big pain! Also, it would be awesome for my boyfriend's beer labels that we cut out with x-acto knives and tiny paper scissors.
