Silhouette Craft Cutter Giveaway ~ $300 Value!!!!

by Kimba on August 4, 2010

This giveaway is closed. Winner announced here.

SQUEEEEEE!! I am so excited to tell you about this giveaway today! I’ve had to keep this fabulous secret to myself for a few weeks and I thought I was going to burst!

The amazing gals at How Does She and the folks from Silhouette asked if I would like to try out their new digital craft cutting machine…If I didn’t like it, I could send it back, no questions asked. I’ve been longing for a cutting machine for ages, so this was a no-brainer for me.

I have fallen head over heels in love with this fabulous little machine and one of you will get to welcome it into your home too!

The Silhouette is a digital craft cutter that connects to your computer just like a printer. But instead of printing designs, it cuts them with a little blade! The Silhouette is totally different (and fabulous!) because there are no expensive cartridges to purchase. You can use the fonts already on your computer or purchase designs from the Silhouette Online Store for only 99 cents!

I was blown away by all the things you can do with the Silhouette. Obviously, it’s an incredible machine for all you scrapbookers out there. I’m not a scrapbooker myself, but I’m going to have a really hard time justifying $4.00+ for greeting cards when I can make my own with the Silhouette.

Of course, I couldn’t wait to try it out for myself. After a pretty easy set-up, I whipped up this little piece of birthday artwork for my son’s bedroom. Side note: How is it possible that my BABY is turning 4?

There are so many things to try and I’m dying to get to know my new machine even better. Glass etching? Yes, please!!!! Vinyl wall decals??? Oh yeah!!! Heat transfers for fabric and clothing???? AWWWW YEAH!

There’s even a Silhouette Blog where you can find tons of inspiration and free weekly downloads!

Are you dying to find out what you can win? Here’s the deal…One lucky winner will receive a prize worth $299.99! The prize packages includes:

Silhouette machine
Software for Windows XP/Vista
Power cable, USB cable
2 Cutting mats (one for thick media, one for thin media)
One cutting blade
$10 gift card to the Silhouette Online Store
