Cutting cardstock with a Silhouette Cameo 4 is an easy way to create beautiful projects. The machine is equipped with a powerful blade that can cut through a variety of materials, including cardstock. With the right settings and techniques, you can achieve professional-looking results every time.
Before you start cutting cardstock, there are several things you should consider. First, make sure that you have the right type of blades and mat for your project.
For cardstock projects, it’s best to use the Deep Cut Blade and Strong Grip Mat. These tools will provide the most precise cuts and help protect your machine from damage.
Once you’ve got your supplies ready, it’s time to design your project in the Silhouette Studio Software. You can either use one of the built-in designs or create your own custom design from scratch.
When you’re finished designing, make sure that all of your lines are set to cut, not draw or score. This will ensure that all of your lines are cut properly when you run your project through the machine.
Now it’s time to set up your Silhouette Cameo 4 for cutting cardstock. Start by loading your mat into the machine and positioning it so that it’s aligned with the top left corner of the cutting area.
Then select “Cardstock” as the material type in the software and adjust the blade settings accordingly (refer to your user manual for specific instructions). Once everything is set up correctly, press “Send to Silhouette” in order to send the design to be cut.
Finally, give yourself some extra time when cutting cardstock so that you can check on progress periodically. If any parts don’t seem to be cutting properly, adjust the blade settings or use a different type of mat before continuing with your project.
Cutting cardstock with a Silhouette Cameo 4 is easy once you know what supplies and settings to use. With these tips in mind, anyone can create beautiful projects with professional-looking results!

Cutting cardstock with a Silhouette Cameo 4 requires using the right blades and mats as well as selecting “Cardstock” as material type in Silhouette Studio Software and adjusting blade settings accordingly before sending your design for cutting.
