Goodbye Fussy Cut: Cutting Stamped Images with Silhouette CAMEO and Pixscan

Say goodbye to fussy cuts! If you're not familiar with what a fussy cut is it's when you have to break out the scissors to cut around a shape printed or stamped shape, for example, all the way while trying to keep the shape centered.

Of course, Silhouette crafters would much prefer to use their cutter rather than fussy cut.  That's where the Silhouette Pixscan mat comes in.

Am I the only Silhouette Mint Stamp Machine owner who is a little sad there is not a dust cover for the Mint?

Silhouette Stamp Material Tutorial: 10 Things Beginners Should Know

If you follow Silhouette School on Instagram, you know I took a stab at Silhouette's Stamp Material recently. Well, lucky for you, I'm here to give you the low down on making your own stamps.  And so here are my 10 beginner tips and a Silhouette Stamp Material Tutorial.

1. Supplies

The first thing you need to do is make sure you have the two essentials tools: the stamping material and the special stamp mat (which is smaller than both the CAMEO and Portrait mat, but will work in both).  Both are relatively inexpensive and can almost always be found on sale on Amazon.

You can also go the way of buying the Silhouette Stamp Starter Kit which comes with a few acrylic blocks to mount your stamps on, ink and a download card for 10 stamp designs.  I skipped the starter kit this time and use some pieces of scrap wood I had on hand to put my stamps on.

How to Make Die Cuts to Match Stamps

I'm so excited that we have a Sub in the classroom today!  I'm cutting right to the chase and handing over the reigns to two lovely ladies - a mom and daughter team....

Hi there! We're Becky and Glenna from My Paper Craze and we're honored to share a Silhouette tutorial with you today! We started off as paper crafters before we discovered the all-powerful Silhouette electronic cutting machines. While we tinkered with a little of everything, we {LOVED} making handmade cards. We amassed large stamp collections and ooo'd and ahh'd over all the beautiful stamps we could collect and use. Our favorites were the stamps with matching die cuts, so that we could add that special "pop" on our cards or layouts.

With that little intro said, our whole world of stamping opened up when we discovered this neat trick using our Silhouette machines... Making Your Own Die Cuts to match your stamps! Gone are the days of creating your layout around your stamps, but rather altering your stamps to match your layout! The rule of thumb is that if you can trace your image then you can cut your image.  I'll show you how I created the die cut file for the flower on this card.
