Next Cameo Basics Class - Feb 10



Hello, Memory Bound friends!

If you've recently purchased a Silhouette Cameo, join Teresa for her next Cameo Basics class! No more guesswork or trying to figure things out on your own -- let Teresa show you what you need to know so you can put this amazing tool to use immediately for your projects. 

If you're not familiar with this machine, the Cameo is an electronic cutting machine that hooks up to your computer like a printer -- but instead of printing, it uses a tiny blade to cut a variety of materials from cardstock to vinyl and most everything in between. I bought a Silhouette Cameo machine last fall and absolutely love  it. I've used my Cameo for many paper crafting projects so far, and I've only scratched the surface of what this powerful tool can do!

Check the details below, then call us at (515) 965-1102 or click HERE to register!
