Birthday Card for Noa


Not embroidery. Made with Silhouette Cameo.
I decided not to give the zippered case this year. So she'll get the dance tote bag and dancing skirt.

The envelope was cut by the machine too. I re-sized a #7 envelope and had to rotate it and it barely fits on a 12 by 12 card stock.

Thank you! Actually I tried another free card in the library twice and failed. This one is relatively easier and it has a picture of the finished card, so I figured out I can't cut all the shapes in one color.

For the card kits, I learned that you almost always need to ungroup the shapes and cut them separately if some of the shapes are for overlay, for example, in this card, the candle and the trims on the gift cards.

I've learned a lot after watching the videos and I think I'll try the failed card again.

Wow, I would expect the cameo has a definite learning curve. Beautiful!

It's not really that difficult and there's a lot of good free resources on line. So many videos on youtube, which I have been watching for a couple of days now. I'd say it's a lot easier to learn than to digitize!

Lovely set and very pretty card. I should start using my Silhouette Cameo, I only used it once when I'd just bought. Must buy something for Christmas cards and get going!

Thank you! It's a design I bought today. Not familiar with the designer studio software. Will try to make my own design in the future.

I am the same way--I bought the machine a year ago and did one applique with it. Cut some letters for an event and haven't touched it for a year. Finally I decided to explore it more. Busy watching video and reading tutorials now. There's so much it can do! I really should make the most of it.

I really should take time to practice but there are always seem to be so many things that need to be done first.
