I think I want to get the designer software, but what is the Studio Connect? Don't I already have that with my cameo? I'm still learning and appreciate all the tips on your blog. Also, I'm thinking about getting a machine to add texture to the paper I cut out with my silhouette. Is there one you recommend that's on the cheaper side? (I wouldn't be die cutting, just using it to add texture.)
ReplyDeleteWhoops, my poor teenager. Hopefully his friends won't notice him 'commenting' on a mom blog. That's what he gets for logging onto google on mom's computer!
DeleteThe Studio Connect plugin is used with Adobe Illustrator & CorelDRAW so you can send your designs straight to your Silhouette. I don't have either of those programs so I haven't used it yet.
DeleteThe only thing I can think of to add texture to your paper is by using a embossing folders with a die cutting tool like an Evolution. They can be pricey though! If you used a coupon at a craft store or you can get 20% off the Evolution at weronthenet.com using the code GINGER. That's the one I use. I also have a smaller one called the Revolution. I don't know if they still make it or not. Maybe you could find a good deal on one on ebay.
ps My son is always logging into my computer, too! Drives me crazy! ;)
Thank You! That's what I needed to know.
DeleteHate to tell you this, but the code is not working...
ReplyDeleteThis promotion was over in March. Sorry!
