You can add text, shapes, and even manipulate images to fit your design perfectly.

Cutting Out Your Design

Once you have finished designing your project in the software, it’s time to cut it out. With the Silhouette Cameo machine, place your material onto the cutting mat and load it into the machine. Make sure that all of your settings are correct before pressing the “Cut” button.

Adding Your Design To Your Project

Once your design has been cut out of its material, it’s ready to be added to your project.
