Starting the year off right

As promised we have some awesome products and giveaways coming up & I thought we would just throw it all out there with this one...
If you're any kind of crafter, you'll LOVE the Silhouette craft cutter! It's so simple to use. It hooks up directly to your own computer which makes it easy to download images, save them and have the image cut. But how cool is this?... You can even design your own images and it will simply cut them for you. Cuts can be made from 1/4″ and 8 ” tall and up to 39″ long, that means endless possibilities for fun projects. Did I mention the Silhouette can cut everything from paper to vinyl? Not only is this perfect for making some extra money with a little side business but think about how much money you'll be saving making your own home decor?! Well, at least that's one excuse you can use when you're convincing your husband that you NEED THIS!
For the moment we've all been waiting for... Yes, of course we have a Silhouette to giveaway PLUS the winner can choose their choice of 5 vinyl colors but that's not all... The winner will also receive $150 in download credit!!! If you're trying to calculate all that, it's a $560value! (I know right, this is awesome way to start off the New Year!)
To enter...
Tell us what you would use the Silhouette for and your favorite feature!

(You don't need to have a Google account, you can just click anonymous)

We'd love for you to blog about this giveaway & make a comment with the link & because the stakes are a little higher this time around we will give you 10 extra entries!

How cool! I just never knew there was anything like this. I'm impressed!
I would use it for just that; silhouettes. I've been on a silhouette craze lately so how handy would this be?
And to think I've got all these broken like fingers from using scissors.
I covet.

Oooh, the places I could go with such a product!! I would love to use this to open up more crafting ideas for myself and my son. Sometimes it's really hard to find crafty things to do that are good for both mom and little boy! I love the fact that it plugs into my computer and I can download new templates!! Hello, lazy imagination!! :-)

Christina said...

Christina - xristya@rock.com - Besides being a writer I have a degree in Fine Arts and exhibit collages (two-dimensional artwork) professionally and I would love to win this machine and learn how to incorporate silhouettes into my collages! Starving artists have a hard time buying new tech items!

Amy said...

I heard about the Silhouette a while ago and have been dying for one ever since. The giveaway is the day before my 30th bday and would be such an awesome birthday present. I want it to do make cards, gifts, cut vinyl and maybe start a little business. The thing I love about this versus other machines is that it does it ALL!

Ohhh. I have so many ideas.... I love me some wall vinyls. And to make labels for the jars in the kitchen and in the craft room... I could label the drawers.... So many things I could do. Pick me. Pick me. Pick me! (I know it's random, but it can't hurt!)

Ascending Butterfly said...

While other cutters are limited in this regard, I love that the Silhouette craft cutter, can cut as many fonts as you have installed on your computer, that's so cool!

Anonymous said...

I would use it for custom signs for work! I am self-employed and must do employee presentations. I think this would add punch to my presentation at a very low cost - if it was customized to match the client. Thank you.

heaventrees said...

I would love having a Silhouette to "play" with! I would use it to make custom signs for friends and family and also for those "quotes" that you see some people apply to walls and such. There are many features to love, my favorite would be that you have so much to choose from in regards to size, style and material.

sabrita said...

Such an amazing little machine! I would love to use it to make cards and tags. It would be so much fun to experiment with all of the options and the vinyls and downloading the designs.

Kimberly said...

Oh how awesome! Who wouldn't want to win this. I can thing of many ideas already!

I'd love to use this to make my own cards. Cards are so much $$$ in the store. I think people would appreciate it more if you made your own. I also think it would be fun to make embellishments with this too for frames, gift tags... wow! Too many ideas.

I love that it cuts adhesive vinyl. I would love to create one of my favorite sayings and stick them to the walls. That would be great!!!

Thanks for a fun giveaway. Happy New Year!

I love the fact that it can do vinyls for walls, windows, cars, photo frames, etc. I also really love the fact that they have so many ideas and projects listed on their website where you can get instructions and a visual of how the completed project might work. Plus, the unit really takes up very little space; and those of us who do a lot of crafting usually have very little free space available, so that's PERFECT!

Just last week I was looking at an "OTHER" brand cutter. My hubby said, "Now...if I could hook it up to my computer...." When I found this contest, I told him about this one. Then he said, "but does it work with a Mac? I want to use Adobe Illustrator". Thanks to Google, I know he can use his Mac and Adobe Illustrator. I have no idea what I'd make first, but I'd have a lot of fun!
