Silhouette CAMEO, Versatile and Powerful Electronic Cutting Machine


I've been obsessing about the Silhouette SD Digital Craft Cutting Tool (QuicKutz) eversince I begun scrap booking last year and it's been on my wish list since then. It's an electronic cutting tool specifically designed for personal and home use. Using scissors and handheld cutters just don't give you the perfect shape you need, thus the need for an electronic cutter. Another alternative is to get yourself a die cutter, but you'll have to buy the machine itself plus the cartridges which can be too expensive. I figured the Silhouette SD is perfect for the job. Less expensive, too!

I visited my Amazon account today and found out that the sale of the Silhouette SD is already discontinued. Made me frown and sad at first, since I really wanted it that bad. (Just didn't have enough money to buy it.) I went to the Silhouette website next to find out why their product was discontinued and surprise, surprise! They stopped marketing the SD to give way to it's replacement, the Silhouette CAMEO.


The Silhouette Cameo (Silhouette) is like a home printer that you can connect to your PC or Mac using a USB cable. Instead of printing though, it uses a small blade to cut your designs and shapes. Unlike the die cutting machines that uses expensive cartridges, this versatile cutting tool includes a free software where you can create your designs and eventually cut using the machine. Fonts and shapes installed in your computer can be easily cut using the CAMEO. Designs printed using your printer can be cut out using CAMEO. You may also purchase ready-made shapes through the Silhouette Online Store.

The amazing Silhouette CAMEO can cut paper, card stock and cardboard, vinyl, fabric and other materials. You can create projects from 1/4" to 12" wide. The cutting length is unlimited.

Having a Silhouette CAMEO will be a dream come true. I really hope I can save enough funds for this next year, so as to satisfy my lust for scrap booking. There's nothing better than perfectly cut fonts, shapes and designs for my crafting projects.

The Silhouette Cameo (Silhouette) is now available in stores for as low as $269.00.

    This is my first time to see a gadget like that. In this generation, more high tech gadgets in our way! The price is not so expensive too.

    This is very helpful in making specially designed cards, souvenirs and tokens. First time to hear about a printer that do cut outs.

    I'm into scrap booking too. I teach my two girls to make their own scrapbook too. This CAMEO will make your scrap booking so easy.

    Another helpful technology -- an electronic cutting tool for personal or even business use. What I also like for this machine is that, it has the ability to register and cut printed materials. Nonetheless, it can't cut leather or metal materials. In overall, it's very useful and makes our project easier and artistic.

    I will definitely need this Silhouette Cameo when I go back to my other passion... scrap-booking. I used to cut my crafts using scissors or cutters and it's really hard to shape. This tool will make all my scrap-booking jobs easier.

    wow! i was into scrapbooking, too. "was" coz i was just able to do a few pages for my first-born then. I still bought materials even when they were expensive but unfortunately they've gone to waste. :(
    I like that product. It seems it makes scrapbooking easy. Good thing i didn't see that before. haha
