Cameo Create Class: Print & Cut

Hello, Silhouette Cameo friends!
If you have a Silhouette Cameo, you'll definitely want to sign up for Teresa's next Cameo Create class featuring the super cool PRINT AND CUT function! With this function, you print an image with "registration marks" (tiny marks on the corners which the Cameo can read), then insert that page into your Cameo to cut around your printed image. It's like fussy cutting -- but without the fuss, as your Cameo does the work for you! The possibilities are truly endless with this machine!
