I would love to use the Silhouette for scrapbooking and card making! Thank you for hosting this giveaway!
I would first do lots of vinyl decor for my son's room we're redecorating.
I'd use it for everything! First I'd start with vinyl wall art, then scrapbooking, iron-ons and go from there.
Cupcake wrappers and toppers, and I'm sure my sister the graphic designer will steal it to make some custom stationary :)
I'd love to make my own cards!
Oh, the heat transfer! How cute would a little monster or robot tee be?
Where do I begin... I believe I would first use the Silhouette to sprinkle cocoa in a design on a white frosted cake. I love making designs in Photoshop and since the Silhouette can download designs from my PC, I could then easily decorate cakes, cupcakes, pies, etc. with my own designs. The possibilities are actually endless, so I truly hope I might win! Thank you, Thank you, for the chance to win! Warm Regards, Barbara
i would love to try the heat transfers!!!!!!!
Oh! Man I have so many things I'd do with this--but mostly I'd like to make some belly bands for notecard sets I sell on etsy. How gorgeous would a silhouette cut belly band be wrapped around some glossy cards? OOF.
Oh so many crafts I have in mind to do around my house come to mind, but the first one I would do if I won would be to make a Check Your Pockets sign for our "Command Center" in the entryway right above the basket my husband puts his wallet and such in. It would be so helpful!! Thank you for the chance to win
I would love to try Halloween Jack-O-Lantern Cupcakes and matching placecards by using the Silhouette Machine. So glad I found you on the Cake Boss site. You are my new Cake Fave!
I would LOVE to use this for cupcake toppers, cupcake wrappers!! and go from there! Stationery! :)
fingers crossed!!
My 11 year old daughter has designed a lovely picture of a sun and moon combined together and I would love replicate it on her bedroom walls and on a jacket of my own. The vinyl cutters would do that very nicely.

WOW, 1 thing?!?! Probably the cupcake wrappers since my daughter's bday is coming up!
I would make awesome recipe cards for all my cupcake recipes!
I use to work in a bakery and love to create new things at home. The possibilities with this machine are endless!. I would love this for many reasons. I would love to make cupcake wrappers, graduation invitations for my daughter's high school graduation, thank you cards. I can't list all the possibilities but I know one thing for sure with the cupcake wrappers I would personalize them so that when I bake for fundraisers, school open houses etc it would make them more appealing and a marketing tool for the schools, organizations I help fund raise. Perhaps even help them to make more money. Perhaps this would be the start of moving to having my own business which I have wanted forever!
I think I'd like to try my hand at some etched glass baking dishes for Christmas gifts this year!
I am a selftaught baker who has learned EVERYTHING from the web, books and TV shows. There is nothing I can't or haven't undertaken. Including a tophographical road map of the Memphis Zoo for an exclusive fundraiser. A fancy piece like this would open a whole new world. Cakes, cupcakes are only the beginning. I have a niece that designs her own graphics for friends to have tattoos, I could take her designs and cut out stencils for my cakes for one of a kind design for weddings, birthdays or just celebrations. I could match any monogram for a bride and groom. I see butterflies and fields of green, skies of blue, and a whole beautiful world to put on a cake.
Cupcake wrappers for sure!!!!
I want to make some little letter blocks that say 'vroom' and they have some seriously cute little truck images that would go perfectly! :)
Love your site!!!!! I would make a tatoo~ Never had one-this way it's temporary and I can make more!
I would love to create custom t-shirts with lots of bling!
Thank You!
Just found you through a linky and I am so excited ..... took my first cake decorating class last spring and love it!! Can't wait to devour your blog!
I am seriously going to be scraping my pennies unless...... I win!!! I see home decor, tees for my boys, and of course Christmas presents!!!
I would love to do some glass etching! Seriously! My hands are just going crazy wanting to try it out!
