I got a new toy. (Grin.) I can’t wait to open the box and try it! I’ve wanted a Silhouette CAMEO™ electronic cutting tool for a while now, and I’m jazzed that I finally got the CAMEO. This machine cuts paper, cardstock, vinyl, fabric and more — up to 12 inches wide and 10 feet long. I’ve got several projects planned using the CAMEO. But until I get a chance to break it in, I wanted to share some exciting Silhouette Black Friday deals and a special discount code just for Crafty Nest readers!
I don’t know about you, but I will be buying the Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition software, lots of colored adhesive vinyl, fabric interfacing, magnet paper, and bunches of shapes. Like a kid in a candy store.

Am I missing something? The Black Friday deal link is the same bundle and price as their regular listing in the Shop link.

Tara – Yes, you are missing something. Enter the code CRAFTYNEST at checkout to save $50 on the Cameo. Plus, the Cameo is not available at the regular website–only on the Black Friday page.

Hi
I need help! I’m going to get my first craft cutter machine and want to get the right one for me, I have never used design software before and intend to mostly use my own designs is the Silhouette cameo for me or should I get a Pazzel?.
Thanks

alison – I just tried out my Silhouette Cameo yesterday for the first time (can you believe it!). I’m planning a blog post about it later this week. If you want to use your own designs, you have to buy the Silhouette Studio Designer Edition software. I created my designs in Adobe Illustrator, saved them as SVG files, and imported them into Silhouette Studio. If you haven’t used design software before, then I would suggest you learn Illustrator first. Sorry, I’m not familiar with Pazzel, but I love the Silhouette Cameo so far.

Allison – Yes, the mat is very sticky. I suggest using thicker paper, such as 65 lb. card stock. Then maybe later when the mat has lost some of its stickiness you can try some thinner papers. Also, set the blade one number higher than Silhouette recommends. I cut cardstock last night at the recommended 2, but it didn’t cut all the way through. A blade setting of 3 worked better.

Is this code good for the cameo this year (2012?)
