But I think this one may be a keeper&#8230; So while the iron is hot \u2013 I suggest you strike NOW!<\/p>\n<p>The appeal for me was the fact that I could draw or create my own images and cut them \u2013 something unique and different to everyone else. So here\u2019s what I came up with.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Colour outside the lines layout<\/h3>\n<p>I wanted to create fun paint splatters that I could cut with the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/Silhouette-Products\">Silhouette<\/a> in different colours and sizes and now was the perfect opportunity. As a bonus we are offering you the paint splats as a free download image (right click on the splatter links and click &#8220;Save link as&#8221; or &#8220;Save target as&#8221; <a ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Silhouette-CAMEO-Paint-Splatter-Round.png\" title=\"Splatter 1\" target=\"_blank\">splatter 1<\/a> and <a ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thewholesaler.biz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/Silhouette-CAMEO-Cutting-Cardstock-Paint-Splatter.png\" title=\"Splatter 2\" target=\"_blank\">splatter 2<\/a>), and an easy introductory explanation of how I created my paint splats into images that can be cut to use on my layout.<\/p>\n<p>What you need to know, is that an image can be cut with the Silhouette \u2013 but you need to first import them into your Library, from which you can then add them to the page, trace the image outline and then cut the images \u2013 in laymans terms and a quick explanation of what I did. So here goes&#8230;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Step 1<\/h4>\n<p> Open the Silhouette Studio Software. Click onto the File tab in the top left hand corner and select Import, Import to Library \u2013 You can create different Libraries of where you keep your images i.e images that comes preloaded on the machine, your own designs, downloaded images, and then you can also categorize them into themes like animals, school, love etc.<br \/>\n<em>*At this time, I will also load the material into the machine.

I moved to the wholesale part of the business and got involved in window dressing and opening a second flagship store for the company while the owners were overseas.
