What settings should I use for a silhouette cameo? Thanks!

Use the default settings for Glitter Card Stock Paper...I believe the default blade is set at 10 and double cut.

I think because this leaf pattern is so nice I would want it to stand out. I would apply a plain translucent film. In my opinion too many textures would make the effect too busy.

No way but there is silhouette chipboard out there you can use for the cameo

I use these mats with my Cameo. They are super sticky though so use a towel and remove some of that or it will ruin your first couple of projects.

You have to use the custom blades made specifically for the machine (the Portrait and Cameo use the same blades).

It really depends on how much you use it and how detailed your cuts are. When I first started using mine, I cut a lot of doilies and the blade didn't last as long. I no longer cut doilies, so now I'm only on my 2nd blade since 2012 and I use my Silhouette Cameo almost every day. Hope this helps!

I would suggest buying the cameo powder. It's a translucent powder. Also, the powder is only a setting powder. You highlight your face by using a concealer and you set it with the powder.

Unfortunately, no. That is the only thing that Cricut is lacking. The only images you can use are the ones that are from the cricut cartridges. Granted, there are a lot of images and you can take just a part of that image and use that part. If your looking to use images you already own and cut them, I would then suggest the Cameo by Silhouette. A co-worker of mine has it and uses her own images. I love my Cricut and enjoy it so much!

You can use most any background its more about coverage like you can use a 6x8 for portraits (you could even use smaller like even a 4x4 fabric the hanger bar comes in 4 sections I believe you can go down to 2 sections.the main size you will want would likelt be a 10x10 as the bars can go 9.5 high.you could also do a 10x20 which would stream out for the ground cloth.you may also consider some clamps and tension clips (the sheet is 10 and the bar is like 11ft)I would not want to hang too heavy of a background on this system but does work.

You can cut this with regular scissors. Also with an exacto knife, paper cutter--I don't know what a silhouette machine is. You would need a good pair of scissors, like you would use for sewing.

I don't have a Cameo, but I've used it with my Cricut Expression and I love it. It does a great job!

You would either import your drawing from another program or draw it in the cameo software the machine comes with. From there the machine would cut where you tell it to.

I am not familiar with a silhouette cameo machine but it did run thru an HP printer ok with a little assistance; only 1 page per print otherwise would jam. It is good quality paper stock and much thicker than traditional paper

Althouh I haven't used the feature, the Page Plus X5 User Guide includes procedures for using Artistic Text such as: apply different line styles, fills (gradient and bitmap fills) and transparency; apply 2D/3D filter effects, flip & rotate; putting text on a path (straight, curved, freehand), etc. Hope this helps.

try zooming in closer when trying fine detail. Make resolution of file you are making at least 300/dpi. Its a work around, but for $500 it would be a steal. I think its overpriced at USD 599. But couldn't ever afford ( justify to self ) Cintique, even the cheapie.

I have a Cricut, and it cuts really well on the Cricut. I imagine it would cut just fine on the Cameo, as well.

Make sure you get a white eye shadow base. They have the regular and the shimmer by the Nyx brand. It shows up even without a black-light. I do make-up for a living and this stuff rocks!
