I am constantly amazed by the possibilities of the Silhouette CAMEO\u00ae. I always knew it would be the one thing that can be used in a million different ways – but now I am living it. So this week I wanted to create something using vinyl, but since it meant a trip to the shops I settled for something I can do here and now using my American Crafts smooth black cardstock until I can get to the shops.<\/h3>\n

Doggie Silhouette Plaque<\/h2>\n

I wanted to create two little wooden vintage looking plaques for our dogs. I had the wood and with some cardstock I would set about making these cute little wooden signs in no time at all using the Silhouette CAMEO\u00ae<\/p>\n

I started off by importing a Jack Russell silhouette image into my library. <\/p>\n

I wanted to cut to of the same images but the one inverted from the other one simply because I have another project in mind, and simply flipping the cut image over would not work for this purpose.<\/p>\n

So I went to my Object menu and clicked onto the Replicate tab, and then selected Mirror right – this flipped my image over so that my doggie was now facing left instead of right – so cool in a simple click.<\/p>\n

\"Silhouette<\/a><\/p>\n

I then dragged my images where I wanted them and deleted the extra images.<\/p>\n

\"Silhouette<\/a><\/p>\n

I then traced my images by selecting both images and then clicked the trace outline button.<\/p>\n

\"Silhouette<\/a><\/p>\n

I deleted my black images which left me with my red outlines only \u2013 my cutting lines.<\/p>\n

\"Silhouette<\/a><\/p>\n

Once I was happy with that I loaded my cutting medium, black smooth American Crafts cardstock and cut my images.<\/p>\n

\"Silhouette<\/a><\/p>\n

I kept the cut out paper, which created instant stencils for me to use on my next project I have planned.<\/p>\n

\"Silhouette<\/a><\/p>\n

The silhouette images I am going to use for my plague is going to be adhered to a piece of wood. I used my Tombow Mono Multi adhesive and added a thin layer all around the image, and left it to dry until the glue was totally clear and tacky. <\/p>\n
