The New Silhouette Cameo 4

The much anticipated release of the Silhouette Cameo 4 is here!  I was able to attend a launch party for the new machine’s debut. You can now pre-order the Silhouette CAMEO 4, and shipping will start at the end of September!  I thought it would be helpful to give you an overview of some of the fabulous new capabilities and why you should be excited for them!

The Cameo 4 will have many of the same features as the Cameo 3 such as dual tool holders, print and cut and the ability to cut vinyl up to 10′ long.  In addition to these great features, the Cameo 4 will bring you more!  You will get

  • Increased Downward Force – up to 5kg (5000 g) .  This will allow the Cameo 4 to cut thicker materials such as mat board, leather, balsa wood and craft foam.
  • Increased Cutting Speed and Acceleration – About 3x Faster than CAMEO 3.  This is something Silhouette users have been asking for, and will come in handy for large projects and business applications.
  • Ability to use Silhouette Rotary Blade – Fabric cutting is now so much better on the Cameo 4!  With the Rotary Blade you can even cut felt!  This is great for crafting and quilting applications! (note, this blade will be available later this year)
  • Single tap AutoBlade – As Cameo 3 users know, using the autoblade requires a number of taps to reset the blade and then set it to the correct depth.  This new feature will reset the blade in one tap.
  • Four included tool adapters- Allows users to use all Silhouette tools that fit in the older Silhouette machines in the CAMEO 4 and even most of the third party tools – like the Foil Quill!
  • Auto Tool Detection – The Cameo 4 auto detects the tool that’s in the carriage and automatically changes the cut settings in Silhouette Studio accordingly. The tool detection sensors are both on the Automatic Blade as well as the adapters and will also be on the Punch Tool, Kraft Blade, and Rotary Blade.
  • Built-in Pull Out Roll Feeder Cross Cutter in back – No need to purchase a separate tool to feed in rolls of vinyl!
  • Retractable Cover – you don’t have to account for overhead
  • Redesigned Rollers and Tool Locks – better quality and easier to use!

The Cameo 4 runs on Silhouette Studio Software with a quick and easy software update and connects easily with Bluetooth. Another feature that I’ve been playing with is cutting yardstick without a mat! Yes, I said without a mat. It works, and I think it will come in handy when you’re trying to make several of one thing.

The cost of the new Silhouette Cameo 4 12″ cutter  is $299.  It is available for pre-order through Heat Press Nation and  Swing Design

I have one of the CAMEO 4’s and will post an unboxing video soon. So, watch for that. I wanted to share some photos of the launch event….

 

If you’d like to order a Silhouette CAMEO 4, you can purchase it through Heat Press Nation and  Swing Design .

Have a great day!

Halloween Lantern

Hi there crafty friends! I hope your week is off to a great start this Monday. It is FINALLY starting to cool off a bit where I live so I’m in the mood for all the Fall and Halloween crafts. I have been wanting to make these lanterns for a while now and just love the Halloween twist I gave them!

I used the 2 on 12×12 Butterfly Lantern (SVG, Silhouette), Rolled Flower 24 (SVG, Silhouette), and Rolled Flower 32 (SVG, Silhouette). The leaves are the Autumn Branches metal dies from My Favorite Fall Collection by Echo Park.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you get some Fall crafting in this week as well!

Fall Gnome Card

Welcome Fall!  My favorite time of the year!  Autumn and Halloween are also my favorite for paper crafting. This Fall I have been seeing lots of little gnomes everywhere, in paper crafting, stamping and home decor.  I love these little guys, so I thought I would create a Fall gnome card with Lori’s Echo Park My Favorite Fall collection and just a bit Carta Bella’s Fall Market.

I used Lori’s Gnome for the Holidays card and just switched up the patterns.  You can find the file here in the Silhouette Store or here in Lori’s SVG shop.  After I pieced him together, I added pretty embellishments from both collections.  Isn’t he adorable?  He’s simply too cute and I know my friend will love him when I send him to her with Birthday Wishes.

Enjoy this beautiful time of year and thank you for joining us today! ~Cathy
