When I was working at Lasting Memories, I had a major wish-list item. I'll give you a hint. It cuts paper, vinyl, and heat transfer material, and you don't have to buy expensive design cartridges. If you guessed the Silhouette digital cutting machine, then you must have it on your wish list, too! If you have no idea what I'm taking about, prepare to be amazed. And to want one.
A few weeks ago, Silhouette sent me a free machine to try and review (I know--I've been dancing a little jig ever since!). I came home from Utah to this:
(Jiggety-jig!)
I spent the last year singing it's praises to customers in the scrapbook store, but now that I've had a chance to use the Silhouette myself, all I can say is that it really is AMAZING. I am full-fledged IN LOVE with this machine. Let me tell you why. No, let me show you why. Here is a sampling of some of the projects I've done since I received my machine (yes, I've been busy!):
I have so many great project ideas in my head for this tool, and I haven't even tried the glass etching cream, rhinestone templates, sketching pencils, or printable heat transfer material yet! Check out some more ideas here and on the Silhouette blog (which is incredible, by the way). There are tons of tutorials, FAQs, and great ideas on both sites. Here are a few things inspiring me:
The Giveaway

What wouldn't I do with this machine? OMG! I can definitely see multiple uses for this in my house. Vinyl decals are a great decor item, but the heat transfer option is fantastic. My oldest daughter wants to be a fashion designer and I could see her creating endless looks with this.
I would use the vinyl first & label everything in sight!!
This has me very excited! I can totally use this for my swimsuit tote (http://myhandingods.blogspot.com/2010/07/swimsuit-tote.html) instead of sewing each letter on.
I added a link to your giveaway on my blog (http://myhandingods.blogspot.com/)
Yay! Too fun :)
I think this machine looks great. I can't wait to try everything that it offers. Love the idea of not having to buy expensive cartridges.
marrs4isu@gmail.com
My birthday is coming up, pick me :) I have wanted to try vinyl wall decor for awhile.
I follow you on FB!
I love the vinyl design you added to your KitchenAid mixer! I would definitely copy that if I won the Silhouette.
I'm like you on FB fan pages.
I would use it for all sorts of sewing projects- heat transfer on t-shirts and especially applique.

I would soooo love to win one of these. I have been looking into getting an expression because I have been wanting to decorate and make gifts with vinyl, but this is soooo much better. Especially not having to buy all those dang cartridges. Pick me! Pick me! :)

I would use it for everything until my husband would probably go nuts! I can see a project for every room in the works. Oh and school spirit tshirts and a soccer shirt for my little guy to root his sister on!!!!!
I have quite a few vinyl letter projects in mind that I would use it for.
I blogged about your giveaway!
http://shareandremember.blogspot.com/2010/07/silhouette-giveaway-on-little-birdie.html
How wouldn't I use it is a better question. I have been really wanting one of these. I would use it for scrapbooking, home decor, card making, school projects, and probably a million other things.
This is such a great giveaway! There are so many cool things to make with this. I would have to start with organizing my kids Lego in bins with vinyl labels, then do something pretty, maybe wall art? I love the heat transfers too. I would definitely add a lot to my scrapbook...this list could get big :)
I'm a quilter so I would definitely use it to embellish quilt blocks, to decorate clothes for my daughter, maybe even matching t-shirts for us, and definitely vinyl sayings for my walls. Thanks so much!!
I have wanted one of these for so so long it's ridiculous! I would use about every function it has!! I love them! I love the heat transfer though, I would probably make a whole bunch of clothes for my little men first!
If I win, I'd use it for just about everything I can! Starting, of course, with a vinyl for the laundry room, my kids' playroom, and my bedroom. :)
I blogged about this giveaway!

oh my gosh, I love the idea with the rhinestone templates!! So much fun:) I have always been a little intimidated by diecutting systems(mostly the cost of additional cartridges), but this one I can see using A LOT! Fabulous!!
I'm a Facebook fan!
Wish you could see my happy dance...so many things this amazing machine can do! I would love to use it to decorate my walls, create some fun summer crafts, and so much more.

I would first make a shirt and then add RHINESTONES! How fun!
I'm a new facebook fan! :)
I'd make cute vinyls to liven up these drab apartment walls my family and I will be staring at for the next three years while my husband finishes school. That would make this place feel so much more like home! Plus I have four cousins, all sisters, and all due with little girls in 2010! The Silhouette would make it so much easier to make the TONS of cute clothes I have planned for them! Thanks for this awesome giveaway!!

You really want just ONE idea for how I would use it? I could come up with thousands. Ok, so one...well, I think the first thing I would do would be to cut some fabric and applique away!

So many great things to choose from but I would love to try the wall art and heat transfers to decorate pillows, etc. Thanks for the chance!!
This is the most awesome giveaway! I love the heat transfer option. I love making tshirts, but it is expensive! I thought about getting one of those Tshirt making machines, but that is all you can do with it. With the Silhouette, the sky's the limit! Being very active in church and in PTA, I would use the silhouette ALL THE TIME!!!!! I would also love tostart quilting, but I am not a good cutter. This machine would help me start a new hobby! Please pick me!!!!!
I have NO vinyl on my walls... Can you even believe it!? So, I think I'd spruce my walls up a bit... especially in my kids' rooms. :)
Wow! That's an amazing machine! I would use it for heat transfers for my quilting, even some new labels.

oh my heck... if I won it I want to make little vinyl polka dots to cover my kids' playroom walls.
I would love to have this. We bought our home 3 years ago and i just cant decide what to do with it...but a less permanent vinyl sticker might do very well in several areas!
Of course then I'd have to decide colour, shape and size, but those are problems I'd like to have!
The first thing I would do if I won this great giveawy is put viynl all over my house.
I would use the silhouette digital cutting system to start a new home business to make extar money. The possibilites are endless!!!

Oh... so many projects, so little time! I'd start with some vinyl decor for the house, then move on to some heat transfer shirts for my daughter, and then try some glass etching and card making.
I've seen this machine on other blogs, and I'm in love! I'd love to win this!
I would love to try the glass etching, among many other things!
i couldn't even begin to list everything i would use this on! i love throwing parties, so everything from invitations to decor. i love crafting, so i could use it on tons of gift ideas. the list goes on and on!

I am a follower....love your site....I'm a scrapper and this is the perfect tool for scrapping!
i would use it for heat transfers, and then glass etching!
Very cool tool! I can see many uses for the Silhouette... starting with augmenting my "white board" to help keep me organized, or making interesting chocolate mousse cup containers, and making little birdie's to put on my windows to keep the birds from flying into the glass, and even putting them on my mom's sliding glass door to keep the grand kids from running into the glass.
Lots of possibilities... M
Love it! I would use it for cooking containers, making small cups for cupcakes or mousse...
I think I would like to use the machine to do appliques on fabric, like quilts, blankets, burp cloths, onesies, etc. What a great giveaway!

I would use this is so many ways: in my classroom, introduce it to all of my colleagues so they would buy one, to complete our FBLA scrapbook for our yearly competition--bet we would win!, in my home--love the vinyl sayings on the wall, with my quilting! These are just a few of the ways I would use it--I would put it on my blog to review and show it to all of my followers! Just think of the sales that could be generated! I am crossing my fingers to win--thanks for the chance.

I'd create vinyl to personalize my fridge. Thanks for the opportunity to win a great tool!
I am now a Fan on Facebook!
Looks like I can use it on everything! My walls could definately benefit from some vinyl and my scrapbook pages could use some sprucing as well.
The more I research what I could do with it, the more I want one!
I'm a LBS facebook fan!
I'm a facebook fan too!
I love love love vinyl wall transfers. Being military and not having the option to paint our house really bites the big one sometimes so this would be perfect for when we move from station to station.
OMG -- what an INCREDIBLY versatile machine. I can't even begin to name all the things I'd use it for. Wow! My head is spinning with ideas.
I don't think I could pick just one thing I would use it on... scrapbooking, transfers for shirts for our daughter, cards, everything! I hope I win!!
I don't know what I wouldn't use this machine for. But I think to start i would do my baby girls nursury. I have three boys and am finally having my first baby girl, hoot hoot. (can you tell I am thrilled) Anyway I would start in her room and go nuts, 2nd I would love to scrapbook with it. 3rd make darling custom shirts for the dudes. wow the possiblities are endless. i would love to win.
The first thing I would want to do with it is cut out some vinyl to put on the different jars in my craft room. Then I would have to try out the fabric transfers. That is so cool!
New FB fan!
I'd use it for everything! Scrapbooking, card making, transfers, you name it! I hope I win!
I would use this for everything! But I think mostly for cutting vinyl.
Everything! would love to try glass etching and decorating everything in my house with the vinyl! and trying tshirts too!
Oh, this little machine is too good to be true. I have my first grandchild coming in September and I bought about 50 onesies I wanted to decorate but I was only going to use pens, etc... This is wonderful! I could make cool designs for my kids sports teams, and last, but not least, I could decorate pillows, vases, frames, cupboards, the list goes on and on.
I would use this for everything. But mostly for cutting vinyl.
The machine is amazing - can do everything - I would finish my scrapbooks and quilts that I need to get done... then on to redecorating the house w/ those vinyls. Thanks Colleen
WHAT?! Hello - Awesome giveaway! I've wanted a Silhouette for a long long time now. I would start with a little vinyl love, move onto some fun scrapbooking projects, a fabric project here or there for my baby girl... what isn't there to do with one of these babies! :)
I like you on fb
I blogged about your giveaway
ohhhhh!!!!! I would die to have one!!! I'd probably use it to cut letters for bulletin boards in my classroom. I'd love to try glass etching as well.
jwolff@bak.rr.com
I would use this for my card making and then i would just play with all the different options and images. I am loving all the home decor uses. Best of all, I would love not to have a collection of cartridges. Thanks for the chance to win!
I posted this on my blog, sllybean.blogspot.edu
So THAT super-loud squeal I heard was YOU!!! *ROFL* What would I use it on? It would be EASIER to answer what would I NOT use it on!
I could use this on glass block lights, dry erase boards, picture frames, tote bags, wall art, decals for my car windows, lamp shades, mirrors, decorating my craft room, iron-on transfers for pillows, t-shirts, & quilt blocks, cutting lacy designs for cards (to compliment my vintage seam binding), paper edging/borders, masking projects for painting on furniture, cutting out my GIGs of clip art from my external hard drive so it actually gets used....GF, I could go on for DAYS! *LOL*
I've been on the fence between the Silhouette and the Gazelle by BossKut for ages now, so to win the Silhouette would make me one VERY happy crafter!
Thanks so much for the chance to win!

http://sourkrautkrafts.blogspot.com/2010/07/silhouette-craft-cutter-giveaway-redux.html
I discovered this cutter a few weeks ago and have been coveting one ever since! I'd probably go wild and make all sorts of creepy decor for our Halloween-themed house but what really caught my eye was the adornment on the Kitchenaid mixer shown in one of your photos. My mixer could definitely use some bling.
I would make some vinyl wall art to liven up my walls! (Plus a billion other projects!)
What wouldn't I use it for...so many different options! I would definitley start with some decals for my walls and iron ons for clothes & pillows. sang(at)gci(dot)net
