Looking for Big Paper for the Silhouette Pro? Here's What You Need to Know!

Scrapbooking, Silhouette, SVG, Video /

Finding 24 inch paper, vinyl, and heat transfer for the Silhouette Pro isn't easy. So many of you have been asking me on instagram where I am buying paper. I even made a Reel on it (I have posted it here via my YouTube Channel. This will give you a 15 second glimpse at some of your options, but if you are serious Silhouette user like me, I thought a blogpost with links would help you most.

(By the way, the link in this post are NOT affiliate links. It's just where I was able to find this size paper! You can see more of what I'm up to with my machine and get free files by joining my Silhouette VIP group here: http://eepurl.com/dN2RcY

PSST: If you scroll to the bottom you can see all the papers in a 15 second video!

Poster Board 22 in. x 28 in.

I found poster board at Michaels . It is slightly smaller than the 24 inch mat but I love  how thick it is! You may need to do 2 passes on your Silhouette Machine because of the thickness. Awesome for making structures.

Pro: Cheap! ($1-$2 per poster) | Con: Very few colors.

Canson Textured Paper 19.5 in. x 25.5 in. 

These papers I purchased at Dick Blick. These are the papers I like using the most because of all the colors! Great of structures. Not as stable as poster board but better because you have more color options. you only need one pass on your Silhouette Pro for these.

Pro: Lots of colors, Medium price point ($3-$4 per paper) | Con: Cost can start to add up.

Chipboard 30 in. x 40 in.

I bought my chipboard from Dick Blick. Comes in multiple sizes and one color (brown). Great for really largee projects. You may need a kraft blade for this a couple of passed on your Pro!

Pro: Thick! | Con: 1 color and expensive

Matte Board 25 in. x 35.5in.

Also purchased from Dick Blick. Comes in a few colors like black and white. It is also thick but not as thick as Chipboard. Great for structures. I would do 2 passes on my Silhouette Pro for this stuff!

Pro: Thick, a few more colors | Con: Not many colors and expensive

Specialty Paper 20 in. x 27 in.

The best place for patterned paper is Paper Source. These are pretty expensive ($4-$12!) but are awesome for really beautiful projects! Medium weight requiring only one pass with your machine. Paper source also sells rolls of paper and colors online that I didn't find in store (see picture below). Check out all their papers on their website.

Pro: Beautiful, options | Con: Expensive, may have to wait for an order online.

Wrapping Paper (multiple sizes but usually 30 inches wide)

Wrapping paper is an absolutely great product for flat projects! It is thin so you will need to b careful getting it on and off the mat! P.S. In the picture I am holding wrapping paper and 2 of the flat colored rolls I got from Paper Source!

Pro: cheap, easy to find | Con: only good for some projects.

Newsprint 24 in. x 36 in.

This is thin material and won't be good for most projects, but you never know, right? I keep it on hand to test shapes!

Pro: Cheap, Easy to find | Con: Thin, only good for some projects.

Vinyl 24 in. x 10 feet (or more)

Great vinyl can be found on Amazon and really all over online. The brand that pops up the most is Oracal. It comes in multiple yards and it SO awesome! Do a google search and you can compare prices!

Pro: available in 24 inches, multiple colors | Con: Must buy online

Heat Transfer Vinyl 20 in. x 5 feet (or more)

The brand I find the most in Heat Transfer is Siser Easy Weed. I would it in 20 inches but I have heard it also comes in 24 inches (if you find this, please link in the comments!).  Here's were I found the 20 inch: https://www.heattransferwarehouse.com/siser-easyweed-20-inch/

Pro: available in 20 inches, multiple colors | Con: Must buy online, unable to find 24 inches.

And for the fun of it, here is the original 15 second video I mad for this blogpost!

The Silhouette Pro Projects

Scrapbooking, Silhouette, SVG /

I have a couple of other projects for the Pro that are currently free in the shop and I wanted to make sure and share! I am so in love with the projects you can do with this machine. Before, I would try and cut my vinyl crazy to make it work but now...Voila! I can cut everything in one go!

This big floral is hanging over my desk in my studio and I originally tried cutting it on the Cameo. Cutting it on the pro was one seamless project!

You can find it in my Silhouette Shop. It will be free for a short time with the launch of the Pro.

The second project that I tried was a heat transfer projects. Look how amazing a single cut and how big this pillow is (The pillow is over 24 inches big). This design can also be found in my shop.

 

 

 

 

I have a few stories on finding paper for the PLUS (I was looking for 14-15 inch paper) and now I will be on the search for you on 24 inch papers. I'll make sure and do a post on it soon. In the meantime you can check out my highlights on my instagram feed @carinagardnerpapercrafts because there are several stories on my search for paper.

Big Christmas House Tutorial and HUGE Silhouette Announcement!

Scrapbooking, Silhouette, Tutorials, Video /

I AM SO EXCITED to announce a new product that launched today at Silhouette. If you have been dreaming of making everything BIGGER, then look no further than the new Silhouette Pro!

It cuts 24 inch long projects! And I'm thrilled to announce that for a short time, my Big Christmas House will be available for free in my Silhouette Shop. Now of course, you do not need the Pro to make this project. You can absolutely size down for your Cameo or Plus.

This new video is part of this week's new releases. You can visit my new products and FREE products here:
https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/view-artist/252689

If you are looking for more freebies, I  will be sending out  more FREE SVGS my VIP Silhouette Group. To join my VIP group for free, go here: http://eepurl.com/dN2RcY. I regularly RESEND files so be sure to sign up so that you are getting all my free tutorials!

If you want a little behind the scenes, Silhouette visited me at my house to film all the tutorials for the new Pro.

They should be releasing more info on the Pro in the coming weeks and you will see me doing projects for them and for you! I'm SO thrilled about cutting REALLY BIG vinyl and heat transfer projects. If you have a business using the Silhouette Machine, the Pro is going to be a game changer for you!

As for designs, you basically can take any design and size it up for the Pro. I'm really excited to try building some of my Ultimate projects so I can see just how big I can build things!

The Pro will be available in the Silhouette Store and some craft stores. I hope you get your hands on one! I'll be doing so many projects on my instagram feed so check out new projects there!

XOXO, Carina
