Experience the latest Silhouette Cameo 5 and the innovative Electrostatic Mat, along with an exclusive visit from the Silhouette America team at Carina’s home.
Carina recently had the opportunity to have a visit from the Silhouette America Team. During their visit they were able to sit down and chat about the different projects that Carina has designed for the Silhouette studio over the last 10 years. And her love of the Silhouette products.
The Silhouette team also brought her the new Cameo 5 with the Electrostatic mat, which she was really excited to try out. She had recently watched a fellow maker demonstrate with the Silhouette Electrostatic mat at her Craft and Design Event and thought that it would be the perfect addition to her tools for making her large 3D house projects that she is known to make. She is excited to try the new Electrostatic mat because it’s great for paper projects, it doesn’t have the sticky tack that a normal mat has. This helps so that when removing your cuts off the mat it doesn’t stick, which helps prevent the paper from curling and even tearing when removing. The other exciting part about the Electrostatic mat is that the clean-up is super easy because there isn’t any more scraping needed to remove the paper that doesn’t get used.
Carina also talks about her design process on how she likes to create practical designs for the Silhouette store. Most designers design for others, while she is often designing projects for herself; like for kids’ birthday parties, her husband’s work events, holiday décor for her own home, and even regular home décor for herself or for her kids.
Some of the comments from the viewers suggested that her large poster designs that were made using the Silhouette Pro look like professional designs that you would see in the stores. Carina and the Silhouette team talked about all the amazing projects and capabilities that can be created with the Silhouette; even with just scrap materials that you have laying around your house. And how the Silhouette is one of the best ways to make unique and custom décor projects for your home.
Carina has a love for Silhouette Cutting Machines that dates back prior to being a contributing designer for the Silhouette Store. Carina continues to utilize the Silhouette machine because it’s stood the test of time in her design creations. She has designed cut files that are simple, some intricate and others that are massive and require building skills as in the case of her Giant oversized Gingerbread House. Over and over again, Silhouette has helped makers design and create all sorts of projects by making their machines easier to use, adding features that help makers craft projects with ease and speed, which cuts down on the time for the completion of art projects.
