I'd rush out and get paper for cute little mini cupcakes for my coworkers. Vegan to boot.
Invites! It would be fun to experiment with layers . . .
Invites, vinyl for the house, scrapbooking goodies, the ideas are endless. I need this!
I would make some cupcake topper or holders!
I would make cards and T-shirts and plenty of Christmas presents :)
OMG!!! That is awesome! Um, I would make Holiday EVERYTHING! No store bought gifts this year oh no, everyone's getting a homemade something or other, but most likely cupcakes with a cool custom design! Che-yeeeah!
Halloween and Thanksgiving cupcake wrappers and toppers; my grandsons would go WILD!
Thanks!
Yes, Yes! I would love this for cupcake wrappers, and for making rhinestone shirts for my daughter's cheerleading team!
being an avid fan of cake decorating, i would love to use this to make stencils for cakes as plastic stencils cost an arm and a leg! eeeeps!
First thing would be some matching holiday shirts for my little girls.
Oh I would so love to be able to make cool wall art with one of these!
Thanks for the chance :)
Oh wow, scrapbooking & card making are my passion! I would have to try that out first!
I would try out the heat set vinyl and make matching Christmas Shirts for the family! *Hugs*
Halloween vinyl! Then lots of scrapbooking projects!
I love that gray and yellow bag, so I think the first thing I would make would be some heat transfers. Thanks for the giveaway!
Oooh! The choices....I'd have to start with appliques or vinyl wall art or cupcake wrappers or gift tags or...oh, this could be dangerous!
i would love to make onsies - but i think it's start with cards or vinyl lettering :)
I'd make cute recipe cards and tags for my homemade jam!
I'd love to use this with the heat transfer vinyl to make cool shirts :)
I want to replace the glass in my front door and do a custom etching w/my name and address on it.
I would love to do some glass etching to make some Christmas gifts!
The first thing I would make would be a fun party favor or cupcake or cake topper for my Grandma's 90th birthday party. I've purchased a few things for the celebration from others (who've probably used this machine to design what I'v purchased.) Now I want a turn to try. And I can't think of a better person to try to design something for the first time than my Grandma!
I would probably etch my name in my glass 9x13 pans first...then they'll always come back to me after I take dinner to a neighbor in them.
But a close second would be some fun cupcake wrappers!
I'm totally digging the ability to make vinyl wall decals! Oooh, and custom t-shirts!
I would love to own a Silhouette...I have so many ideas that I could make a reality. It would be awesome to make cute, one of a kind shirts for my 22 month old son!
