Silhouette Cameo : 10 Tips for Saving Money

Silhouette Cameo : 10 Tips for Saving Money

As many of you know, Mr. modern typography bought me a Silhouette Cameo for Christmas.
Best . Gift. Always . I now have 8 million days later ( slight exaggeration ) cutting I feel qualified to throw to save a few tips for saving money out there .

1.Do not buy the first software Designer Edition.
You will not need . All you need is the car . Surprisingly, the program is easy to use, but is also capable of multiple tasks I. Boom in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop , I saved $ 50 bucks.

2.According to Buy extras.
Chances are your car came with a mat over and the blade. I think 3 or 4 mats useful when cutting large quantities of the same thing . The Prep extras with the card I next cut . It saves me a lot of time, and time is money for me.

The reason why you need additional sheets is that they get bored with the times. Buy these before you need them so you do not have to pay the extra shipping fees . By the way, I can have a place to purchase these items on the site are not found , it is likely that they will be forced to buy anything online.

3.Buy yourself something 3rd Krylon Easy -Tack .
Why ? Since the mats do not last forever , what someone he had known for a while ' . Instead of constantly spend $ 15 on a new cutting mat , you can spray with Easy -Tack and get the same results . It is $ 7.59 at Hobby Lobby , but you can use a coupon for them. You will get more applications from the can , saving a lot of money. I would say that I sprayed about 5 pads 10 times. By the way, I'm still with the original carpet that came with the silhouette.

4. Move the paper forms or mat between cuts.
The reason why the mats do not last forever is the glue that holds the card in position , loses sticky. It ' even worse when you cut to the same place over and over again . 1 A simple way to do this is to change the ' paper orientation ( horizontal / vertical) in the program. Or you can move before each cut shapes in the program. If you are worried about cutting the paper , use registration marks . This is my favorite silhouette function . If you have not learned how to use it yet, you should ! Finally, you can rotate the mat to 180 degrees and get more use out of your carpets .

5. Avoid double-edged blade .
This will save both the mats and blades . The only forms I had to use the double cut my feathers are really complicated and headbands for my Thanksgiving headgear There are some trial and error here , but I'd rather save my blade , the cost of 11 dollars more than a piece of paper that it cost me 4 cents.

6. Buy this Silhouette Scraper or spatula tool or pick me up .
To take items cut from the carpet , easy to turn off the mat and pop elements .
It keeps a little ' more if the new carpet or immediately after spraying Easy -Tack , but after that it is super easy to pull off things . I use the knife to remove remaining paper as a small circle of holes. Why pay $ 10-20 dollars for the tools to make when you can pick up at a hardware store or shop sign spatula for a few dollars . I like to roll the doctor because I was on my article with the smooth side of the carpet roll and pop small pieces with the scraper page .

7. Turn your knives for different types of paper.
The same applies to manual punch . If you cut a thicker paper , your hand blunts more . I keep a sheet of 3 and 1-7. I think that all the work of paper with one or the other and switching blades is easy. My first blade worn out quickly.

8. ° Clean the knife if it seems boring.
It 's easier than you think . You have just set your blade to zero. Then turn the little white cap from the end, just below the red line ( lefty loosy ) . Clean the goop and Papierfetzenund give the blade a further vortex.

9. Buy on Amazon.
If you have not already noticed , I have nothing to buy directly from the silhouette. Its way more expensive. And I have Amazon Prime , so everything ships for free . This is a huge savings for me, and I'm all in 2 days!

10. Design your own modules.
When we got to the car, I was worried about the price for the purchase of additional modules. I was also worried about the ' use of modules purchased in my shop, you know you need a commercial license to use them? I decided to design all my forms . It ' much easier than it looks. Once you see how it is done , you will realize why the car is like a silhouette ;)

Here are some tutorials on converting images to shapes on the Silhouette cut to size.
