_________
It's finally here...it's finally here!!! I am finally ready to share my third baby with you: "The Ultimate Silhouette Guide: Tutorials, Tips and Troubleshooting (to get the most out of your machine)".
For months and months and months I've been plugging away on the ebook, what you might consider the 'Silhouette CAMEO Dummies book' and I know so many have of you have waited so long for the ebook. Shingles, wrist injuries, the blog, a growing Etsy business and everyday life as a work at home mom delayed the release by more than three months, but today I could not be more ecstatic to finally say it's officially on SALE!!!
The nine day pre-order period left me completely floored and humbled to say the least. I have poured so much time, knowledge, and love into this book and for nearly 700 copies to sell on pre-order is so overwhelming it brought me to tears. I cannot fully put into words how much your trust in me and loyalty to Silhouette School means. It's truly overwhelming and I thank each and everyone of you who have ever read a tutorial, shared a post, tagged a friend and ordered The Ultimate Silhouette Guide from the bottom of my heart!!!
If you are one of those who ordered (THANK YOU!!!), please check your email (and spam folders) for the digital download link...it was sent out last night!
If you are still on the fence about the ebook, delivered as a digital download book in PDF format, here's a quick glance at what you're getting when you purchase:
- You'll learn the ins and outs of Silhouette crafting from an expert user and the blogger behind one of the most successful Silhouette blogs on the web
- Four pages of detailed labels and descriptions of all tool bar buttons and icons in Silhouette Studio
- Recommended supplies, tools and materials including the best places to purchase them
- I’ll share a little known FREE commercial-use script monogram font that can be used for commercial use - a tip I’ve never revealed until now
- An in depth section on the absolute best way to organize your Silhouette Studio library using keywords, categories and folders
- A glossary of Silhouette 'lingo' so you have a firm understanding of the terminology
- A complete list of cut settings for 40+ different materials
- Extensive troubleshooting section to get you back on track
- An ad-free guide means 100% information on every single page.
- Easily printable in full color or black and white
- Interactive table of contents which allows you to get where you want to go with just the click of the mouse
- Comparison between the Silhouette America machines to help you decide which machine is best for you
- Step by step unpacking, set up and what to know before making your first cut

ReplyDeleteThank you Melissa! I just bought this book this morning and I thought I was pretty good at my machine. Oh my....I've already learned even more. You can not go wrong! Buy this book. I can't believe everything you have put in this book!
ReplyDeleteJust ordered, uploaded to Staples and can pick up tonight! I am so excited to have a lingo friendly guide to flip through! The website is great but if the lingo is not known it is impossible to find the tip you are looking for (ummmm - maybe because of all the richness of the information and getting distracted before getting to the original post :) Love your work!
ReplyDeleteMelissa, you are a godsend! Finally everything is in one place, easy to find and easy to understand instead of on a gazillion notes scattered around my craft room. I know I'll be using my Sil a lot more now. Thank you so much!

ReplyDeleteHi! I would love to win your eBook! I can't tell you how many times so far, in the 6 months that we've had our Cameo, my hubby and I have been close to selling it due to frustration but then I remember "let's look at Silhouette School!"...and BOOM...you save us (and my Cameo). We are hoping to build a business with our machine so your eBook would be a very treasured possession! -Jessica Willis
ReplyDeleteThe doctor told me that at 79 I should keep my mind busy, so I choose a Silhouette to help with cards, crafting. And boy have I been busy trying to figure out how to do something and watch a video at the same time. I need this book
ReplyDeleteThere is so much I want to learn about this machine. I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of what it can really do.. Congrats on your 3rd baby :)
ReplyDeleteI was gifted my machine by a dear friend about 8 months ago. I have yest to venture past the basics. I would love to do all the other cute things but I get nervous and over welmed.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first received my machine and started it up -- I became quickly frustrated and was ready to sell. I put it away for a month and then decided to take it out and start all over again - now I can't seem to do without it--I've even taught myself how to design with the program. I have learned much -- but I'm sure this book will make my life with the Cameo more livable! LOL Thank you!

ReplyDeleteI started printing this and pages 51-144 are blank!!! Now what???
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of ordering this book but cannot decide on the hard copy or ebook. I would prefer the hard copy but would like the updates option of the ebook, plus the ebook would cost me an additional $18.00 to have printed. Is there a way to get the updates if I buy the hard copy or are they the same as the tutorials and tips as part of my regular subscription to Silhouette School?
