Discount Silhouette Stamping Starter Kit

Customer Ratings:

Let me start by saying that this is a nice little kit and comes with 3 different sizes of stamping blocks that have the grids to help you get your stamps straight. It comes with three sheets of stamping material, a special stamp material mat, a silhouette ink pad in black, a download card for some exclusive stamping designs, and a DVD tutorial that leaves a little to be desired. When I ordered this I thought for some reason, that it would produce a carved stamp instead of just a cut out letter or shape, but it doesn't. So, if you cut out the word "stamp" and you don't weld it to make the letters connect, then you will have to line up each individual letter one by one and make sure you get them completely straight on your stamping block. This can be really tedious if you have small or a lot of letters. My cameo cut the stamping material the first time with no issues at all by simply following the tutorial, changing the mat to the one in the kit, and changing the blade setting to the recommended number. My letters were perfect and the ink included worked perfectly on card stock. I tried to use Staz On brand ink and it beaded up and wouldn't produce a clean image. I tried several times and it just would not work. The ink was brand new, so I'm thinking that the stamping material just won't soak it up properly. So, please keep that in mind when using this material. Overall, this is a great product. Just keep in mind that the machine is not carving the stamp out. You will have to position your stamp on the block every time you want to use it. Also remember to flip your words to be backward when the bottom of your stamp is facing you and to where it looks correct when you flip it over like you are going to stamp with it. Both sides of the material are the same, so you can use whichever side you want. There's no need to flip your word in the program. I'm posting some pics to show my results. I hope this helps.

This product is amazing! No, it does not carve the stamp material, but just knowing your machine, you should know that anyway. My stamp was pretty intricate and I planned to heat emboss it with Versa ink and Zing powder. Better than expected! Definitely recommend to experienced crafters.

It's a very interesting kit, although I haven't tested it yet. The possibility of creating your own stamps is awesome! I just think that should come with more material to work with.

Honest reviews on Silhouette Stamping Starter Kit

Worked great once I figured out that it was user error so I wasted a sheet of the stamping material. Luckily I have some extra PC stamping material which looks to be the same thickness. A word of advice, be sure to remove the white paper from the cutting mat and make sure you have the mat facing the correct way and you'll avoid the same mistake I made!
