silhouette digital cutting tool review and giveaway!

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!):



My very favorite part of this tool is the ability you have to use your own designs and true-type fonts on your computer, plus digital image downloads from tons of great designers (think House of Three and Hero Arts) for only $.99 each (or less if you have a subscription). I have loved my Slice, and I'll still use it, but I hate having to buy a $50 cartridge, especially when I know I'll only really use a fraction of the images. My second favorite thing is how versatile it is. The software that goes with it is awesome. You can cut shapes and letters in any size increments you want, you can take images apart and only cut part of them (which comes in handy when creating a multi-colored image), and you can cut multiple images at a time (which saves time and paper). I really feel like I don't have any limitations with this tool. I can use it for my scrapbooking, card making, home decor, party decorations (think cupcake wrappers and banners!), clothing, even quilting (to cut applique templates). You're going to be seeing a lot with this machine from me.

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
Okay, enough of my blabbering, here's the big news. Silhouette is letting us give away a FREE Silhouette SD cutting tool and a bunch of free accessories to one of our readers! (You should be doing a little jig about now, too!) Here's what our lucky winner will receive:

I'm trying to revamp my son Michaels room. He is 8 years old and has the smallest room in the house. I feel I need to make it extra special. I will use the silhouette to make amazing designs to go on his wall. Like a grass area theme on the bottom, then a chair rail and on top a chalk board wall. It will be extra cool and of course will make the, "No girls allowed except for mom" for his door

I'm a mommy of 2 boys and a kindergarten teacher so I can think of about a bazillion ways to use the Sihouette at home and school. Clasroom decorations (flags hanging from the ceiling, vinyl on my windows, gifts for parents (pretty vases for moms), matching t-shirts for feild trips, cards thanking my uber fabulous volunteers, the thought of being able to create some supper cool art for my boys' room makes me giddy. I love the dino art, so tough and cool! I hope I win so I can put it to good use!

months back, but couldn't justify the expense. This Silhouette machine looks even better!

I want to make some cute pillows with the heat transfer, and some big decals for my girls' bedroom wall to go along with their garden motif. I also want to create some pretty etched glass artwork to accent their bedroom..and that is just the tip of the iceberg!

Amber Elizabeth said...

I know I already posted once on the 10th, but I got to thinking about what I really could do with a silhouette and here's what I came up with:

Make family photo frames w/ each name in vinyl for each family member
Onsies for my 9-mo old that have geeky sayings (for my husband) such as: "level 1 human" or "iBaby"
Always looking for cute projects for the women's group at my church
Scrap book the last 10 months
Make t-shirts with family names for my family reunion in August
Label all my Pyrex casserole dishes and bowls so I wouldn't keep losing them at church potlucks
Make a family photo/plaque to commemorate the birth of my son
Make cute t-shirts for my 2 nieces and nephew - the girls are VERY girlie, and love butterflies and princesses and flowers
Spruce up my little apartment with quotes and design.
and that's just the start.

At the moment I have a CriCut - but like your previous cutter, I have to pay $35-50 on one cartridge that will give me a few great designs and a lot of mediocre designs. Thank you for opening my eyes to the Silhouette!

Paige said...

I blogged about this post at www.thecondrays.blogspot.com

What an awesome give-a-way!

Thanks for the opportunity.

I love that it also draws! I would probably make a lot of heat transfers and decorate all my appliances since my husband isn't crazy about vinyl on the walls either. I hope I win!!!

Love this and your site! I would use it for scrapbooking and since I don't sew I would love to try the fabric transfers so I could personalize outfits!!

OMG!!!! I HAVE to have this machine!! I make baby & kids clothing and I also decorate nurseries!! I make/ paint everything that I do. This would save me sooo much time!!
I am already envisioning:
1. Some awesome little baby onesies using the sparkly glitter heat transfer material.
2. My bedroom is B/W damask and so I am thinking of entire wall of damask vinyl silhouettes.
3. I just moved my craft room upstairs! My hubby was kind enough to give me his 'man-cave' for all my stuff. I would love to decorate it using this awesome machine!
Pick me!!

So many great uses! I would start by making labels for glass jars. :)

Erin said...

What a great machine! The ideas become endless but I think I would start by using the vinyl to decorate my kids room. Thanks for sharing your ideas with all of us!

I got engaged 4 days ago, and I'm envisioning a TON of wedding projects with this! Oh - and adding my new last name to EVERYTHING...

Nichole said...

Vinyl wall and heat transfer.

Katie said...

ooo - I would love to win! Where would I start? um, sprucing up the walls in my home...making all containers look cute. Love the kitchenaid makeover!

Meghan said...

Oh my, so many comments already. I never win anything, but it's worth a shot! I want to paint my front door black, and I would use the Silhouette to cut out the letters of my house address to put on the front door. :D

Laci said...

What WOULDN'T I do with it?! I'd have to say there would probably be a bunch of cute vinyl things all over my walls. :)

This looks like an amazing machine. I make ties for my dad for every holiday, and this machine would help me spice up the old ideas...

Also, I want to etch glass. So classy.

Wow there are so many comments on this one! I would use it for so many things, but really would love to use it for my package design work, and wall vinyls! Overall the possibilities are endless!

I'm also a fb fan now. I don't usually do that for extra entries, but I really would love to win this one.

I am now a fan on facebook as well!

I have wanted one of these for so long and can't seem to save up the money for it. If I had one of these there are several fun projects I would love to do for my home decor, but I think I would like to first create a vinyl tree for my wall to hang pictures around and have a fun "family tree".

I'm a crafter and over the past few years I have been expanding the kinds of materials I work with. I am moving up to material from paper. But the Silhouette looks like it can use anything and everything!! I'm a middle school teacher and this would be perfect to decorate the classroom or even help the kids out with projects. My wheels are turning.....

I would make decor for my boring bedroom!
choose me! :)

Jennifer said...

I would use it for...well...everything! Especially paper crafts and home decor!!
Thanks!
