November 16: Sketched Holiday Nametag Papercraft
Have you ever wanted to add a handwritten touch to something but don’t love your own calligraphy skills? Learn how to use your Silhouette machine to sketch and cut while making this festive leaf nametag for your fall gatherings! In this free class, Kelly Wayment will show you how to choose sketch fonts or sketch designs that can be drawn with your Silhouette machine onto your papercut projects. We’ll sketch, cut, color, and shape this fun paper craft that can be customized for your guests. Kelly will be using a Silhouette Cameo 4 in class, but you can use any model of Silhouette Cameo or Portrait.

November 30: How to make your first project on a Silhouette cutting machine
This free class will walk through the process of making a simple vinyl or paper based project from start to finish. Over the course of one hour, McKenna will show you how to find and purchase a file from the Silhouette Design Store, open and adjust the design in Silhouette Studio, and cut it out with your Silhouette cutting machine. You’ll be able to ask questions along the way as you follow along on your own machine at home. By focusing on the basics steps to use a Silhouette machine, you’ll have a head start on making more complex projects in the future!

You can use it with vinyl as long as it is smooth and flat to allow the static charge to hold on to it. Rolled vinyl that wants to go back to its rolled shape will not necessarily work well, and it would need to be trimmed to fit the ES mat cutting area.

Yes, you can use the heat pen while using the ES mat. 🙂

Once you’ve pushed the mat up against the rollers, just press the “Load” arrow button (bottom right on the display). Does a regular sticky mat load into the machine for you?
