In grade school, I was a straight E student (our school used "E" for Excellent instead of the standard "A"). My only S (for "Satisfactory") was in spelling (hooray for the invention of spellcheck!). However, if they gave out a grade in cutting, I would have gotten my only F. As a lefty, I could never get the school's scissors to cut - even the ones with colored rubber on the handles designating them for southpaws.
Recently, I've come across a few tutorials on how to make your own cupcake wrappers like the ones that I purchased from Sugar Cat Studio for Wedding 3.0. They involved buying craft paper, printing a wrapper template on it, and then cutting it out. I didn't even bother trying. I assumed that my wrapper would end up looking like a newspaper shredded by a cat's claws. I decided to leave cupcake wrapper making to the E+ cutters.
Things changed when I got an email from Shelly at How Does She asking if I would be interested in reviewing a Silhouette digital cutter. Yes, please! A digital cutter, for the uninformed (like I was), works like a printer - only instead of printing, it makes perfect cuts! I cut the wrapper above using the Silhouette, and look what else I made:
Even though I am a complete non-crafter, I'm already thinking of other ways that I could use my machine: fancy cards, t-shirt designs (with vinyl transfer paper), scrapbooking, gift bags, and so much more.
You want one, don't you? Thought so! :)

I would TOTALLY make cupcake wrappers...a different one for every cupcake I do!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!! I would totally make cupcake wrappers - I've always been tempted to buy them but I'm too cheap. I love the ones you made!
ReplyDeleteI would actually use this to make cut outs to place over a rice paper or vellum lamp shade. I think it would be a great way to revamp a boring old lamp. =)
ReplyDeletehttp://alyciamore.blogspot.com/
Awesome giveaway Stef! I am not a baker... but I would use it in scrapbooking and sewing. WOW!
ReplyDeleteKelly S
I would make some shirts for my son (often neglected in my craftiness!) and I would probably use it for some decorative wood signs.
ReplyDeleteOh - and I would make cute cupcake wrappers too!!!
I would make cupcake wrappers as I love to bake!
ReplyDeletehellokitten26(at)yahoo(dot)com
Oh, wow. I never thought I wanted one of these... and then you asked what I'd make.
ReplyDeleteI might make a few batches of cupcake wrappers, sure. I'd certainly make some larger craft-paper doilies for full-sized cakes and other goodies. But that's just the beginning.
I'd make lots of cards: notecards, birthday and wedding cards, invitations. I'd make custom cards for my handmade jewelry. I'd make fancy labels for my handmade gifts and foodstuffs.
I might even take a whack at making a handmade lampshade.
This is an inspiring piece of equipment.
That looks amazing. I would use it in my scrapbooking projects.
ReplyDeleteBesides using it to make cupcake liners(which would be so fun) I would use it to decorate things my kids may need for school projects to make them extra special!
ReplyDeleteI think it'd be easier to say what I wouldn't use it for. These Silhouettes look amazing and there's so so much you can use it for. By and large, though, I'd probably use it for vinyl transfers the most.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
Well, of course, cupcake wrappers! But I would also use it for scrapbooking!
ReplyDeleteI would TOTALLY make cupcake wrappers...but I would also make really fun cards for all my friends!
ReplyDeleteuh, this might just get me to try making cupcake wrappers!!!! I am a scrapbooker and I would LOVE LOVE love to win!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI would use it for making labels for homemade james and jellies!
ReplyDeleteThis would be the best thing ever. Cupcake wrappers all the way!
ReplyDeleteI am an artist and amateur book maker. So, I would use the cutter for my artwork and book-making. xD
ReplyDeleteI do a surprising amount of precise paper cutting (a la x-acto blade), and it's painstaking work. :P
I'd make the most kick-ass paper airplanes ever.
ReplyDeleteThe better question would be what WOULDN'T I MAKE? I work for a cupcake catering company, so this is obviously BEYOND awesome for wrappers. But I'd LOVE to use it for scrapbooking, as well as helping my sister make AWESOME wedding invitations. OH and it would make some TOTALLY cute cards to send to friends too!
ReplyDeleteI'd scrapbook, make T Shirts, do vinyl wall art!!! The sky is the limit :)
ReplyDeleteI would use this for my labels and bundt displays. I also design and usually cut out my own invitations. This would be so helpful!
ReplyDeleteI'd make greeting cards with that machine. It's so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI would use it to make awesome covers for handmade cookbooks to give to friends & family : )
ReplyDeleteI would make my kids' party invitations and thank you notes.
ReplyDeleteamanda.townsend2 at gmail dot com
I would used it to make the edging for my stationary or gift tags. I love it....
ReplyDeleteI would make cupcake wrappers! and anything that I can for my cards and layouts :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance!
hugs, margie
Would love to try some scrapbook page titles with this!
ReplyDeleteI would make everything for my lil one's parties! Between all of my many hobbies of papercrafts, it would essentially be the entire party! I Love making invites, and paper decoration banners and of course the super creative cupcake wrappers, because yes, I always serve cupcakes at their parties!
ReplyDeleteMy sister just got engaged! I'm the crafty one in the family (also the poor college student) and she asked me to help make the invitations. AHHHH! So worried! If I had this machine, I could totally make perfect invitations for her. She totally deserves an amazing wedding. Maybe I could convince her have a cupcake tree for her wedding and use this again! There are so many things this can do for the wedding!
ReplyDeleteDiscobarbie15@aol.com
Oh my goodness, that thing is amazing. I've always seen them advertised at JoAnn's, and I get jealous every time...
ReplyDeleteAside from cupcake wrappers, I would also make stencils for painting my own t-shirts. One of the fashion groups I'm part of just posted a tutorial, and I thought how difficult it would be to cut out all the detailed parts--this would solve all my problems!
I would make cupcake wrappers first thing, but I bet this would make awesome designs to frame photos with, or maybe even incorporate into the photos themselves.
ReplyDeleteI would use it to make many things including cupcake wrappers, wall decals, and pain stencils. Thank you for the opportunity!
ReplyDeletecupcake wrappers for sure...but the glass etching feature seems very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI love the cool designs to make cards. I am also a non crafty person, but I would try and make that bouquet card. So cool!!
ReplyDeleteI would totally start with the cupcake wrappers and then tackle my growing collection of scrapbooking paper and maybe actually scrapbook...maybe
ReplyDeleteCupcake wrappers FOR SURE. Also doilies to served baked goods on, gorgeous cards and stationary, decor for my walls, one-of-a-kind business cards and stencils to paint...well, pretty much everything I own.
ReplyDeleteHoly %&^*$ what wouldn't I use it for?
ReplyDeleteBut in all seriousness, love what they are doing with that fabric transfer stuff over on their blog. And cupcake wrappers. And paper and stationary and greeting cards and whatever I could possibly do.
I'd love to make not only cupcake wrappers but awesome food and gift tags and gift boxes with this. I'm really excited about this product. Makes me wish my birthday were coming up haha.
ReplyDeleteI have two girls who love to do crafts, so the possibilities would be endless. Art projects for their rooms and cards for all the holidays....
ReplyDeleteand of course, cupcake wrappers.
alwaysarac(at)gmail(dot)com
I would use it to make layered holiday cards and super fun invitations/stationery à la Luscious Verde... and most likely some fun cupcake wrappers, among other things.
ReplyDeleteGift Bags! Thank you for offering such a sweet giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMolu1298@gmail.com
I would definitely make cake garnishes. I know they wouldn't be edible, but they'd be awesome little toppers!
ReplyDeleteThose are so beautiful! I really appreciate when chefs and bakers take the time to create stunning, as well as delicious, food.
ReplyDeleteartsysunday.blogspot.com
I would love to make cute little cupcake wrappers, and TONS of embellishements for scrapbooking too! Ahhh the possibilities are ENDLESS!
ReplyDeleteI just started a home based business and could use the vinyl on quilting templates I make! Would be so awesome!
ReplyDeletejust to tell, the Silhouette only works with PC, not with MAC ;-)
ReplyDeleteI would go crazy making a ton of things with this machine. cards would be my number 1 thing I would use it for.
ReplyDeleteHEIMLGA - I've been told that the Mac software should be available at the end of August.
ReplyDeleteI could do so many things with that!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of cutting out multiple silhouettes to make a paper mobile, or I would dip them in ceramic slip and mold them over something to create a bowl or sculpture. I've done it with doilies before and they're turned out pretty neat!
That's such an amazing tool! I would make my mum very happy by filling her cardmaking cupboard with shapes for her to use!
ReplyDeleteYeah I would probably make cupcake wrappers too or some cool cut out prints to frame and hang on the wall. I think I would have it cut out quotes and then glue them on a different color and then frame them. Can it do that??
ReplyDeleteOMG that's really awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI would do lots of stencils! T-shirts, bags, walls... The world is your canvas xD
Hoo boy! Would I love to win a machine like this. I want to get into etching glass especially a few windows where I really don't want curtains but I need some privacy. Then I'd be etching all kinds of glassware, creating wall stencils, putting patterns on textiles AND making awesome wraps for cupcakes. I really enjoy making marking special occasions for my co-workers with cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteIn addition to cupcake wrappers, I've seen some neat decorations made for Kitchenaid mixers. Mine could definitely use some sprucing up.
ReplyDeleteI could see many awesome t-shirts in my future~
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this. It looks so neat. I would make cupcake wrappers for all my creations.
ReplyDeleteI would use this to make intricate thank you cards for my family & boyfriend. I am a printmaker and work with letterpress so the two art forms combined could be truly, awesomely, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I totally love your site! Thank you so much for taking the time to keep us informed!
ReplyDeleteSecond, I love the cupcake wrappers but when I saw the things the Silhouetee Digital machine did with the fabric ideas, I was completely thrilled! My brain is already busy thinking of all the things I could do with the Silhouette machine, providing of course, I can handle the mechanical part of it--- ha,,ha!
I would love making cupcake wrappers, but I think the machine could also apply to other baked goods. Making doilies for presentation, intricate die cuts for cupcake toppers, borders, cards, you name it. From what I've read it's an incredibly diverse machine.
ReplyDeleteI would make cupcake wrappers but I don't think I could stop there I would have to embellish a few T's, make some cards, a few scrapbook pages, my the possibilities have my head spinning
ReplyDeletethanks
I'm seeing some incredible ideas in these comments! Now I want to make cupcake wrappers, lamp shades, doilies, notecards, and photo frames too. I'm Katherine_Garretson@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely be making cupcake wrappers! I'm always looking for cute/unique ones.
ReplyDeleteSimply fabulous!! So many things to try...I think some vinyl wall art would be the first I'd try!
ReplyDeleteggambler(at)bellsouth(dot)net
I would make lots of cool craft projects for the youth group my husband and I lead. They love things like that.
ReplyDeletePaper lanterns here!
ReplyDeleteI'd make cupcake wrappers before I made anything else!!!
ReplyDeleteI would make cut outs to decorate cakes.
ReplyDeleteamandarwest at gmaildotcom
Tweeted. http://twitter.com/amandawk/status/20138482325
ReplyDeleteHmmm. With the silhouette, I'd make mayhem!!! And enjoy every bit of the fun adding to ancestry displays, card making, training materials scrap booking and other stuff I do. This machine looks so much more straightforward than the one I b...ought last year and still haven't figured out how to use it or who to give it to.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting my imagination run wild for a few minutes and for offering this giveaway.
So many different things to do with the machine. Cupcakes, lamp shades, gift boxes, kids school projects.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh I didn't even think about cup cake wrappers! that would be awesome!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow..I had no idea! I would Def do cupcake wrappers...or cake STAND wrappers =o) Oh the possibilities...
ReplyDeleteSo awesome! I would definitely make cupcake papers. :)
ReplyDeletethis is amazing!!!!! i think it would be so cute to make these for eggs at easter to dress them up to serve with brunch.
ReplyDeleteana153@jwu.edu
Oh my goodness, that machine is amazing. I would make lots and lots of wrappers for my cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteI'd use it for some holiday crafting! Maybe some Christmas cards :D
ReplyDeleteI think I would go nuts with this thing. I WOULD make cupcake wrappers, cause they are just too hard and time consuming to cut by hand. But I would it for scrapbooks and I would probably dream up all kinds of things to make with it. I can see Christmas presents coming from this thing.
ReplyDeleteElizabelle[at]comcast[dot]net
I would give it an attempt for cupcake wrapers of course... but I think it would be really neat to make baby albums for all my friends expecting this year.
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! I would use it for cupcake wrappers. Would be great when having a party since it would be so easy to personalize each treat for each guest.
ReplyDeleteI would use this in my scrapbooking/card making adventures. I've been wanting one of these for a while!!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting cupcakes for Lexi's birthday on Aug 26 and I would LOVE to use this to make the wrappers!!
ReplyDeleteWould seriously use it for cupcake wrappers, but also tags for gifts and vinyl cutouts for my kids rooms to change the theme.
ReplyDeleteI would definitley use this for cupcake wrappers!
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely make cupcake wrappers and then . . . this would save me so much time with my homemade cards! I would love to make some pillows for my daughters beds and window seat, t-shirts for a family gathering that is coming up, and wall art! This machine looks totally awesome - I would love to experiment with designs for clothing, home decor and scrapbooking projects as well! I could make great use of this amazing cutting tool!
ReplyDeleteI would use this to make my annual handmade Xmas cards. Cut out vinyl wall letters, cupcake wrappers. Make custom tshirts for my daughter and her friends
ReplyDeleteI would make wrappers for ALL my baked goods! Cupcakes, candies, cookies, pound cakes. Oh my goodness. I'm getting way too excited just thinking about it :)
ReplyDeleteI'd make cupcake wrappers with it of course! And after I get tired of that, I'd use it to catch up with some of my scrapbooking.
ReplyDeleteWhile I would make some visible things- like wrappers and cards or art work- I think it would be awesome to use plain card stock as well and use the feature to make awesome custom stencils for painting.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...what WOULDN'T I make? Cupcake wrappers for sure, but I'd also use it in scrapbooking, papercraft, stencils, all sorts of cards, invitations, gift tags, gift wrap, party decorations and favors, decorating my next apartment...the list goes on. I highly doubt I'll win since I never win anything...but if I had to pick one giveaway to win...this would be it! :)
ReplyDeleteI'd use it to cut some vintage wallpaper and apply some light adhesive backing to create some temporary wallpaper! Very cool machine!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make art nouveau-style bookmarks to give away at my author events.
ReplyDelete(The cupcake wrappers is a given, because the fairies in my books use frosted desserts as trampolines!)
lisa at lisamantchev dot com
With a son and fiance cupcake wedding in the future I would definitely make cupcake wrappers. They are on a budget and want pretty wrappers so badly. This would make such a great start as a mother-in-law!
ReplyDeleteI'd use it for all my crafty things, scrapbooking, cards, decor,etc.
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway and special discounts! I really love seeing how you used this for your cupcakes. If I had a Silhouette, I would use it for papercrafting and for cutting things for my papercrafting classes.
ReplyDeleteWow! I would love to win that! I am a paper crafter and would use it making wonderful things for my mini books that I love to make.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, where do I start. I would make matts for picture frames for all my neices and maybe even nephews too. I would make all kinds of artsy things for the nursery. Cupcake wrappers for a wedding shower I'm helping to throw... too many adventures to even list.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting college this month, and I'd definitely make cupcake wrappers for "Baked Goods Friday" in my dorm!
ReplyDeleteI would make cupcake wrappers for sure... and use it for scrapbooking too!
ReplyDeleteoh wow o.o i've wanted one of these things for freaking EVER. lol. I do all kinds of recycled crafts involving plastic bottles and thin aluminum and etc... it'd be *perfect* for cutting out the templates for them, or even cutting them out as is! my room would be *covered* in these things! Shiny new apron patterns? Totally. New coke bottle jewelry? Definitely. And of course the cupcake wrappers! :-D
ReplyDeleteI would also use this for cupcake wrappers, fondant cutting, and creating cute cupcake toppers.
ReplyDeleteWhat wouldn't I make?! Definitely I'd make wall vinyl, do heat transfer, and of course, some cupcake wrappers!
ReplyDeleteSo many choices, I don't know what to pick...I could see myself making all kinds of crafty items. I really do like the cupcake wrappers.
ReplyDeleteI would make a neat design for my terrariums! It would make it look like a little secret garden.
ReplyDeleteI've been lusting for one of these for ages! I would make vinyl cutouts for glass etching projects.
ReplyDeleteI would so do all kinds of cupcake liners. This looks like an amazing creative tool. I want one! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI would make vinyl lettering for my wall and I would definitely make cupcake wrappers as well!
ReplyDeleteoooh can I give to my sister and have HER make the cupcake wrappers for me? she's much more crafty :)
ReplyDeletegreat giveaway!!!
I love this! I would use it for my nephew's birth announcements... Such a fun way to personalize just about anything!
ReplyDeleteOMG! This thing is amazing! Not only would I make cupcake wrappers but I was thinking fun "cone" wrappers to hold homemade caramel popcorn I make as gifts for the holidays!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome!! I would give it to my wonderful sister who does beautiful scrapbooking stuff! (She really deserves a present!)
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! I LOVE your cupcake wrappers-adorable! I would make things for my kiddos and gifts for the other people in my life. The possibilities are endless with Silhouette! Thanks for the giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tool to have!! Not only would I use it for cupcake wrappers but it would be a great gift for my sister who is the owner of Harti Design http://www.hartidesign.com/. She makes wonderful personalized paper products!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!!!
I would definitely make cupcake wrappers. Anything to improve the appearance of my cupcakes. I haven't mastered piping frosting yet and an offset spatula can only do so much!
ReplyDeleteI'd make cupcake wrappers, of course. And pretty stationery to invite people to my house for a cupcake party.
ReplyDeleteThat is an amazing gadget! I would make incredible:
ReplyDeletecupcake wrappers
invitations
greeting cards
fancy bookmarks and book covers
whimsical masks
I would use this to make cookie cutting templates and dusting stencils for using on cakes and cookies. In the non baking world I would use it for making costume pieces (I hear you can get special fabric to go through some them?) like cutting out stencils for using fabric paint!! This is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI would TOTALLY make cupcake wrappers!! I'm actually plotting to open a cupcake shop in the neat future and this gadget would help me out so much!! *fingers crossed!*(
ReplyDeleteAs a former scrapbooker I think this tool looks so cool! I think it would be great for making something fun to put up in the window, especially for different holidays! But I also love the idea of cupcake wrappers.
ReplyDeleteI am totally going to make floral or some kind of stickers for the walls in my daughter's room. Screw those companies that sell that stuff!
ReplyDeleteAppropriate WV? I think so! "maker". :)
I think I *would* make cupcake wrappers, but I love stationery, too, so there would be a fine time of that! :)
ReplyDeleteSo many possibilities...jewelry would top my list. Fun frames for photos, craft projects and wall words.
ReplyDelete(I think even Dan is excited about this - he sent me a link to make sure I saw it!)
Oh my, if there was ever something I "need" its this! The things I could make! Endless possibilities of cards and wrappers and all the diy things I want to do for my wedding! This would certainly be a life (and budget) saver
ReplyDeleteI'm making cupcakes for a bridal shower. The theme is 'apples' and I've been trying to figure out a way to incorporate apples into the exterior design... this would be a perfect way to make the wrappers have apples all around the outside!
ReplyDeleteI would make awesome birthday and other greeting cards. I have been doing all my cutting by hand to make cute little animals and using an x-acto knife for lettering, but this machine would make it so much more professional-looking!!!!! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI would make the wall vinal art I covet.. please enter me!!
ReplyDeleteamazing giveaway...I love their glass etching projects and would be glad to try that in my home if I won..thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteramvinayak_81@rediffmail.com
I would make cupcake wrappers for sure. Also, the etching looks cool. I might have to etch some flour and sugar containers.
ReplyDeleteSince I am the designated baker for family & friends, I would definitely make cupcake wrappers and I would try to make cake stand wrappers to jazz up a plain old glass cake stand.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have thought of cupcake wrappers myself but I would definitely have to try that! I think more often though I would make greeting cards, because I usually make my own even though I am not very crafty.
ReplyDeletee.e.den@hotmail.com
I would use this for scrapbooking and making my photobooks look a whole lot nicer!
ReplyDeleteI am the queen of thematic parties amongst my family and friends and seeing this machine has made me weak in the knees and not to mention short of breath! One of my first of many projects would be invitations, decorations, and thank yous inspired by Dia de los Muertos (similar to these images http://shop.cafepress.com/dia-de-los-muertos). This year we are having a blow-out ghoolish extraveganza and this machine is exactly what we need to get us in the spirit!
ReplyDeletethis would be awesome for making cards, and projects for my kiddos :)
ReplyDeleteFirst, I would make business cards in the shape of ice cream cones and cupcakes. Then, I'd make custom boxes for my yearly Christmas cookie gifts. Then, I'd try my hand at making pop-up books!
ReplyDeleteI am not super creative, but think this would go a long way to help! I would make cupcake wrappers with little ducks cut out (for my girl's second bday).
ReplyDeleteI would like to make little wrappers out of double sided tape to hold together things. I mean why not?
ReplyDeleteI love being creative in an efficient way - this would allow me to work smarter not harder! I'd defintely make cupcake wrapers... coordinated with invitations, placecards, banners and anything elase I could think of!
ReplyDeleteI would use it for so many decorations around the house and church. I would love to get a hold of the cupcake template, as well! I have had my eye on this for quite some time!
ReplyDeleteIf I won, I would do all sorts of fancy things, probably including cupcake and muffin wrappers, because I do make a lot of cupcakes and muffins! But my favorite way to fantasize about using it is to make really pretty packaging for my homemade soaps!
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a LOT of stuff, but I think I would start our with some labels for my pantry: flour, rice, sugar, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there are endless possibilities, but I would be most excited to use it for the heat transfers and wall decals! We're moving soon and have a 1 year old that loves his homemade t-shirts!
ReplyDeleteDaxjessnmo(at)yahoo
I would love making the cupcake cutouts..............
ReplyDeleteCarole
i would LOVE to make cupcake wrappers. Would save me a lot of $$ on all the speciality ones I order now for my business!
ReplyDeleteI would be making cards for holidays, cupcake toppers, and fun party decor.
ReplyDelete-Sarah
I'd make my future wedding invitations with a silhouette of my favorite city where we met, Salamanca.
ReplyDeleteI would use it for making my own nursery decorations. Dr. Seuss is not exactly an easy nursery collection to come across!
ReplyDeleteI would make a ton of things- starting with styling shirts for my boys using the heat transfer.
ReplyDeleteThe possibilities are endless---
ReplyDeletecupcake wrappers, pickle/jam labels, ice cream cone holders -- all it takes is a little imagination ;)
I linked up on Facebook! Love the cupcake wrapers. So cute! I would have to use it for making vinyl wall decals. I can just imagine the pretty phrases all over my house :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome machine... lets see, cupcake wrappers, scrapbooking, quilting, cake topper designs, thank you notecards and gift tags.
ReplyDeletesfoeyl(at)yahoo(dot)com
I like the etched glass cookie jar on their site, so I'd definitely make that...and I'm thinking my son would flip for Halloween themed cupcake wrappers.
ReplyDeletecatherineh_78 (at) yahoo (dot) com
I would make cupcake wrappers, christmas cards, vinyl cutouts for my walls. The list could go on forever. Hope I win!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! I would make Cupcake wrappers! Just being able to create my own cupcake wrappers would make this machine pay for itself. The fact that I could create my own cards just puts it over the top!
ReplyDeleteThank you for offering this fantastic give away!!
If you don't mind, I'm adding you to my favorites - I LOVE your blog!
As I am getting my feet wet in the cupcake business, I would TOTALLY love this for custom cupcake wrappers! SO CUTE! thanks for having the contest!
ReplyDeleteMelissa W. in Nebraska
Wow. When I was in college one of my best friends would make cut out letters to wish people happy birthday. An adult in our dorm thought she had a "machine" to do it, even though the letters were different sizes and completely not uniform. I guess that adult was just a decade before his time. If I won this I would either (a) gift it to said friend or (b) make custom bday wishes for others in her stead.
ReplyDeleteI would use this to make my invitation making a WHOLE lot easier! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWOW...is all I can say! Cupcake wrappers, scrapbooks, clothing...the possibilities are endless. There just aren't enough hours in the day to do it all.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely make cupcake wrappers! But I would also do vinyl lettering for my living room, cute handouts for the class at church that I teach, and awesome cards!
ReplyDeleteanwhite29 at cox dot net
I would make the obvious cupcake wrappers, but also use it for cut outs for my classroom bulletin boards (I'm a teacher), cupcake toppers, banner making, etc. etc. etc.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, 158 comments already! well, i WOULD make cupcake wrappers with it the most, I'm sure, since I"m cupcake obsessed. I've always loved how cupcake wrappers make cupcakes look, but they are too expensive to buy all the time. I can imagine with scrapbook paper and this cutter I could make a gazillion different cupcake wrappers, which would pretty much be a dream come true in my cupcake obsessed world :)
ReplyDelete(tryp66@hotmail.com)
The cupcake cups are def the best usage I can think of. I found your site while I was looking for cupcake porn. Other than food, I suppose I would make delicate little things for scrapbooking.
ReplyDeleteOoh I'd definitely use it for invitations and secret notes. I'd have to throw more tea parties and other such things just so I'd have a reason to make invitations for people.
ReplyDeletespecide@gmail.com
Wow!! I've been wanting these for ages! My mind started to picture various things that can be made with this other than cupcake wrapper, such as paper craft to decorate dessert table, making dessert tags, favor tags, cards, for baby shower, bridal shower, wedding, birthday, oh endless possibilities
ReplyDeleteI would definitely make cupcake wrappers they are totally cute!
ReplyDeletelilaznjewel[@]yahoo.com
i would make party signs! love this machine :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I just made three batches of test cupcakes while I develop a recipe...I could have really used this then!
ReplyDeleteWow-so cool!! I would make cupcake wrappers of course, and I would use it to make signs for parties. I have been printing letters on scrapbook paper and cutting them out by hand!
ReplyDeleteMegan
I would make vinyl designs for my walls featuring Pac Man and the monsters! : D
ReplyDeleteWow, this is so neat! I love your cut cupcake wrappers, so unique. When I followed the site, I got excited about so much...the paper crafting, scrapbooking, the stationary, but I absolutely love the heat transfers for clothing. I could use it for so much, I don't know if I could pick one thing.
ReplyDeleteI've thought and dreamed about this machine when I used to do papercrafts!!!! Origami, to get perfect squares or other shapes for the weirder, more advanced origami. Cards with detailings! POP-UPS!!!! 3D structures in paper!! Boy this would've been a TIME-SAVER! SIGN ME UP!!!!!! I would love to go back to doing paper crafts!! Umm, how shall I leave my e-mail address though, not having my own site?
ReplyDeleteOh the possibilities are endless! I love to entertain so I would use the silhouette tool to create beautiful and unique name cards, food tags and place mats. I would create holiday embellishments around the house too ... place mats, tags, cards and cupcake wrappers to accompany festive decor! I love that I would have creations none of my guests could just pick up in a store!
ReplyDeletehttp://keepingupwiththedevins.blogspot.com

Oh the cupcake wrappers are right at the top of my list as well as vinyl and glass etching!
ReplyDeleteI would use my OWN fonts (love that) and make some cute t-shirt and baby onesies for family and friends. This machine is so much better than the Cricut....which I have been drooling over. If I don't win I'll be asking Santa to bring me one.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can narrow it down to just one thing I would do with the silhouette - not when it has so much to offer - I would make wall words, vinyl words for metal buckets to give as gifts, I would use the etched glass part, the rhinestone part and the heat transfer part and the ... I could go on and on. Thank you for hosting this giveaway - it is greatly appreciated! Pam
