A question for Cameo users

That's a good question. I don't use mine as often as I'd like. I find I use it most for Project Life or school. I seem to pull it out every year when we have to make our Catholic Schools Week banners.

For PL, I like to make the weekly numbers. I haven't even started 2017 yet but I think I'll be doing that again. I tend to flip flop years of doing that. I also like to make cards sometimes. I haven't done that in a while though since I seem to own so many other PL cards.

Hmmm...I feel like my ultimate answer is going to end up being I don't use it enough!

I don't use it as much as I could but I do use it regularly. I cut titles most often but also cut embellishments. Sometimes I look through the shapes in the design store and recreate them myself. I don't do mixed media but I would like to try cutting a stencil to see if I can try something out. I've never cut vinyl or anything else besides cardstock and patterned paper.

I'm sure I'm not using mine to full potential, but I use it almost every time I craft for:

- cutting titles
- making embellishments
- print and cut, including stickers
- sketched backgrounds/titles
- making cards
- cutting out stamped images instead of fussy cutting or using dies

While I don't use mine to its full potential I do put it to good use: scrapbooking titles and embellies, invites, print and cuts, HTV for clothing, vinyl for signs and etching, etc. I haven't yet used the pen/marker holder but its time will come! I've been using a silhouette cutter for 9-10 years and have led to many others purchasing them after they've seen me using it at crops...and my workplace has bought 2 machines too!

I use it for vinyl, for card making, and for scrapbooking. I may use it to cut fabric at some point, but I haven't gotten around to that. I have done a print & cut once or twice, but that really isn't my thing.

Print & Cut
Stickers
Planner inserts for my Filofax
Paper Piecing
Intricate Die Cuts
Stencils
Nail Art Decals
Dollhouse Miniatures

That is what I came up with at the top of my head. I can think of more later.

I love 3D and dimensional things so I've made a lot of cards from purchased files. I've also made several sets of table favors for lunches with friends. I expect to use it for titles for scrapbooking. I don't anticipate I will do very much with vinyl - but I have some and I might try it at some point. So far I like looking for new ways to made box, shadow box, pop-up, bendy cards!

I use my Cameo for every single project. From die cuts to print and cuts to designing my layouts in the software. Since I started designing my layouts in the software, I find I actually use it more for making my own embellishments. You can get the perfect colour, in the perfect size every time! I'd be lost without my Cameo!

I love to make 3D items, cards, boxes and working with vinyl! I just love vinyl.

I am so happy to tell you I love my cameo you can buy cut files from their store or other stores you can use pretty mucch any clip art out their :)tons of free clipart :)you can do any fonts... tons of freebies you can use coloring pages.. when you resize anything it does it in exact dimension I shrunk a coloring page strawberry shortcake to stamp size you can also scan in the images of your rubber stamps & can cut them if you have any pattern for stuff like a paper piecing patterns or other patterns. there are millions digi rubber stamps... you can use them..same with digi scrapbook stuff... :)you can also do print a cut.. they sell in their store but you can make your own.... you have to put printer in your cameo window...it marks the places... print the image on your printer & then cut it in your cameo you can also engrave ...you can cut fabric...you can cut glass...vinyl..etc  our finances are tight & I love that there are millions of free clip art & colorring pages & digi stamps etc..

Honestly the Cameo has probably been my best purchase ever. You won't regret it. SaveSave

I forgot about flowers! I love to make flowers on my Cameo.

I was thinking of this thread tonight. I was at WalMart tonight and right on the shelf in the crafting aisle is a Silhouette Cameo 3! WalMart is selling Cameo's now. Who would have thought it.
