About once a month Silhouette runs some really great promotions making it the opportune time to cash in your chips and buy one of these sweet little “miracle” machines.  As luck would have it, a promotion is happening right now, but ending Wednesday, July 10th, so you have to hurry if you want to catch this one.  You can buy one of the following bundles and not only save BIG on a Silhouette, but also save  BIG on time and money on future DIY projects:

• Silhouette CAMEO® plus the Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition software for $269.99
• Silhouette Portrait™ plus the Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition software for $129.99
• The Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition software for $24.99

Last month Adria created a really cute Father’s Day gift bag using a Silhouette Cameo and one of their iron on heat transfers.   Maureen also used a Silhouette recently for one of the party favors at Jeffrey’s “Budget Friendly Super Hero Party.”  Using the Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition software, she imported one of the Super Hero emblems from our shop so the Silhouette machine could trace the design, then print and cut it out.  She printed the emblems on vinyl transfer paper and then put them on water bottles she purchased from the dollar store!  Maybe you aren’t bursting with amazement, but for me it’s a moment where all the craft projects of the past, present, and future are flashing before my eyes and a little tickle of excitement is itching my tummy!  Oh, what I could do…..

The Silhouette Studio® Designer Edition includes the following features

• Rhinestone tools to convert designs into rhinestone templates and create your own rhinestone designs
• Sketch tools to convert designs into several styles of sketchable art
• Creative knife tools to allow you to clip designs using different patterns
• Enhanced eraser set to modify designs with more precision
• Built-in ruler and guide lines for precise alignment and drawing

Some of the terms sound complex, but Silhouette offers some great tutorials to help you out and make the designing process simple!  Then, once you design all your awesome items, be sure to inspire us by sending us photos.  Just head here and use the code ANDERSRUFF to get this great deal!
