The Cameo is a truly amazing machine allowing one to cut just about any design out. You can draw your own design, scan one in, use a google image or buy ones off the Cameo online store for $.99 each. I choose to buy my farm animals. Here's the Cameo software opening screen. Pop in an animal silhouette....
Send for cutting...
Cut, cut, cut...
This is the animal selection that I ended up with. I added in some picket fence and some farm trucks (not shown) for fun. I'll leave it up to my sister in law to figure out how she'd like to display them! Super cute, fun and easy decorations to make!
To make this blog fun AND informative, I'll give my 2 second review of the Cameo Silhouette machine. I love it. For the most part, it works well and doesn't need a lot of maintenance. However, it is expensive ($300) and the blade and cutting mat are additional. My main complaint is that it seems like I have to replace the blade and mat pretty often - which can add up. Otherwise, the creative possibilities are endless. See some other crafts I've done with my Cameo (and other supplies).
Come back often for new Cameo projects!
