    Your video was clear, concise and the right length for a lesson. You really make it easy to learn. The offset is a new concept to me, and it took a moment t understand its use, but when you demonstrated using the colors (pink & yellow) I then understood. The site you shared is awesome indeed...thank you for a great video!

    Thank you for this video. My husband bought me a Silhouette about 2 years ago. After he watched me make tons of decorations by hand but I haven't had time to learn more than just the very basic functions. This is very helpful.

    This is a great tutorial. I just got my Cameo and I only want to start with cutting paper for cards, I don't want to do anything with vinyl and every tutorial I've seen and blog I've read deals with vinyl. I just want paper basics! This tutorial was very helpful.

    Hi Kimber! Thank you for precise and informative directions! I am a complete "newbie" and probably taking on more than I should, but I'm gonna give this a shot. My letters are rather thin on the words that I'm attempting and I'm wondering if I offset will this help me attain thicker letters? The last example you gave was offsetting the yellow and pink letters. If I made everything the same color, would that make for a thicker font in the words that I'm attempting? My 3 words are Bar Fly Crew. I'm using the PT Serif Caption font. At this point I welded the letters, but I was thinking that off setting might be a better option. The letters/words are going on a clear flat Christmas ornament that's round and about 5 inches wide. Thank you so much for your help and Happy New Year!!!

    Any idea why worlds would be cutting on top of each other when printed? They look fine on the screen but when I send it to the cameo the bottom line is on top of the last word. On screen it’s all within the printing/cutting area. I was using Bluetooth to print if that makes a difference. Thanks!

I think some of these tutorials are confusing,.....they show how to cut and apply your work onto your product, but don't show how they designed it on the computer. grrrrr
