Cutting cardstock with a Silhouette Cameo 3 is an easy and efficient way to create custom cards, scrapbook pages and other papercraft projects. The machine has a cutting mat and a blade that are designed to cut cardstock with precision. With a few simple steps, you can quickly create perfect cuts every time.
The first step is to prepare the cardstock for cutting.
Make sure the cardstock is flat before loading it onto the cutting mat. If the cardstock is not flat, it may not cut properly or may result in jagged edges. Once the cardstock is flat, place it on the cutting mat and secure it with masking tape or other adhesive.
The next step is to load the cutting mat into the Silhouette Cameo 3 machine. Make sure that the arrows on the top of the cutting mat are pointing towards you when inserting it into the machine. Once loaded, select “Cardstock” as your material type in order to adjust blade settings accordingly.
After selecting your material type, use either Silhouette Studio or another design software program to design your project. When you are finished designing your project, press “Send” and watch as your design automatically loads onto the cutter.
Finally, press “Cut” on the machine’s touch screen interface and wait for your project to be cut out of your cardstock. After it is finished cutting, carefully remove your project from the cutting mat and enjoy your creation!
