Big news today and a fair warning about Silhouette School's premium membership site, Silhouette U.
We're doing something that we've never done in the two years since launching Silhouette U - we're raising membership rates to be more in line with the tremendous value the members-only site offers. BUT...you have a last minute chance to lock in the current monthly, 6 month, or yearly rate before they go up on October 1.

Silhouette U Videos
As many of you know in October 2016 we launched Silhouette U - as a sister site to the always free Silhouette School Blog. At the time Silhouette U launched with a total of 14 Silhouette videos in three skill levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.Two years and 150 video tutorials later...our membership prices have never changed.
But in those two years we've added up to six new Silhouette video tutorials every month to our Silhouette U library, and a "Homework" section which is a collection of start to finish project videos that teach specific Silhouette techniques along the way. All of them are always accessible to our active members.
But Silhouette videos are just one of the many benefits our nearly 5,000 active members enjoy!
Silhouette U Deals
We've also secured more deals with craft retailers in the industry to offer exclusive and standing deals for Silhouette U members. Our members have access to codes to get discounts on everything from Silhouette CAMEOs to heat presses to Silhouette Studio software upgrades to craft blanks to vinyl to sticker paper to digital designs and fonts. Many Silhouette U members pay for their membership with the savings they get from the always available codes on our Deals page.
Silhouette U Exclusive eBooks
In addition, we've decided to make a change to how our exclusive Silhouette U ebook program works. Each year I put out a new members-only guide that's free with any length membership. It's not sold anywhere, and the only way to get it is to join Silhouette U. The current 35 page eBook on getting more out of Silhouette Studio Designer Edition, Designer Edition Plus, and Business Edition is about to expire and be replaced with the third Silhouette U member guide.
However instead of removing it totally and not making it accessible to future members - who are maybe new to Silhouette in general - we've decided to grant access to retired Silhouette U ebooks to our most loyal members.
Here's how it will work - all members will have access to downloaded the current guide immediately when their membership begins. After being a member of Silhouette U for 33 days, the most recently retired guide will become available for download as well. On the 63rd day of membership, any remaining retired guides will become available to you as well. All you have to do is go to the Silhouette U store and download the free Silhouette U ebooks.
More Silhouette U Benefits
Our members enjoy: an ads free site, 1:1 chat help during my weekly 'Office Hours', twice a month Live Q and A sessions, a member's only Facebook group monthly, commercial use cut files, discounts on all Silhouette School ebooks in the Ultimate Silhouette Guide series, monthly giveaways, and a priority email inbox.
Join Silhouette U Now and Lock In Launch Rates
If you've been on the fence about joining Silhouette U, now's the time because you can lock in the rates we launched with nearly two years ago - before the rate increase on October 1.If you join as a new member now or upgrade your existing Silhouette U membership before October 1, 2018, you'll keep the $9.99 monthly rate, $53.95 six month rate, or $99.99 yearly rate as long as you're a member. Remember plans auto-renew unless cancelled, and you can cancel at anytime. All that good stuff is laid out in our Terms of Use and FAQ page.
BUT if you join after October 1, upgrade to a longer plan after that date, or cancel and then rejoin later - the updated rates below will apply.
