the essentials
Layered strips of torn paper
make a great snowscape where
Kelly rested her snowman.
Like a home printer, the Silhouette
plugs into your PC or Mac using a
simple USB cable, but rather than
printing, it uses a small blade to cut a
variety of media such as paper, card-
stock, vinyl and fabric.
There are no expensive cartridges to
buy and store. You purchase the indi-
vidual designs you want (most start at
just 99¢)and there is no limit to the
free fonts you can use.
The machine itself is compact, so it is
easy to store and use, yet it has a 12”
cutting surface.
The small size of the blade allows
for clean, crisp cuts that are perfect
every time. No more fuzzy edges on
your images!
