I would totally cut out some cutesey little Halloween cupcake wrappers and toppers!
I want one of these SO bad!!! My list is long, but I think I'd try glass etching first.
This would come in very handy for creating customized holiday cards!
oooh, i would make some groovy t-shirts with this kind of tech! and cool ribbons to package them! and...oh so many things!
Wow, i would use iit for many things. Of course i would use it to make cupcake wrappers. I would use the Silhouette to make cards and scrapbook pages.
I'd love to make a paper Chinese festival dragon out of paper with the Silhouette. It'd be perfect for cutting out all the small details.
I would make a bazillion cards and then some HOT PINK cupcake wrappers!
I would try something for cupcake wrappers first!
Pick me! Pick me! I'd make favor tags and banners! Such fun!
WANT! WANT! WANT!!
My 25th birthday is tomorrow (the 24th) and I think this would be a fabulous present to me! I would make myself a little something special and then try and make some thank you cards! And then maybe a sign for my front door for Halloween... and then make some cute underliners and make CUPCAKES... and then maybe just print some shapes for fun... I would never want to stop!
Thanks for the giveaway and the promo!

That machine makes me drool. I would do silhouettes. There's a wall in my house that I want decorated with our framed silhouettes.
I make a lot of greeting cards, and many of the techniques can be extended to cupcakes. Here are some thoughts:
Stand up cardstock letters: you could put one big old-school letter on each cupcake to spell out words (this would be a good stand in for a birthday cake)
Doily-like decorations that could go under a dessert, or could be used as part of card (this is something I've done by hand, but it is VERY labor intensive). Or what about little tutus to go around cupcakes? They would have to be carefully sized to fit, but not squeeze, the cupcake, but think how FRiGGIN' ADORABLE that would be.
Cutouts of my drawings! These would serve as decorations for baked goods OR paper goods...my goodness the possibilities are overwhelming.
my crafty abilities mainly have to do with fabrics & sewing them together. I wonder if I could rig this to work with fabric?... only one way to find out! ;)
I would make lots of cards and gift boxes! It would make the process so fast and easy.
I would love to make custom pop-up holiday cards and die-cut business cards with it!
Omg I would love this! This would really help wit my scrapbooking! I'd use it for love letters for my bf and to make some awesome cards!
I would love to start making my own party decorations!
Definitely canning labels.
Oh so many ideas. I would probably start with some sweet cupcake wrappers or decorations to thank you for doing this giveaway. :)
PS -- Every time I read your blog, I get a craving for cupcakes! Not good, since I read everyday! :)
Cards! And then cupcake wrappers.
Not a single cupcake would leave my kitchen without a cupcake wrapper :D
I would love one of these! I think the thing that I would use it for most is the vinyl cutting! I would love to be able to add some fun stickers to the walls of my home!

CUPCAKE WRAPPERS!!!!!! And toppers. And cute little cut outs to paste on my cello bags. Oh my, I want this.
Oh, I'd use it for everything! Most specifically.. cupcake toppers to impress my inlaws when I go up to see them this Christmas : )
I would love to own one of these!! I would use it for gift tags/cards, wall decor, custom T-shirts,... etc!..
