Great tutorial and it really does seem easy. I was scared of them at first.

Great tutorial, now I just NEED to buy a Silhouette. Btw did you have a fan on, or was someone vacuuming in the next room? I actually love that sound.

No vacuuming or fan running. It's from my laptop running while I use Quicktime to record the video. For some reason, it makes my Macbook fan go off. :)

Thanks so much, Tina -- I was hemming and hawing over using .png files -- this is quite reassuring! Way easier than fiddling around on my own until I get it right. Thanks again!

You're very welcome!

I just watched the video and tried using your instructions. In the past the few that I purchased (before S Edition was nec.)
It was easier, I'm having trouble d/loading them as they are now ZIP (which I'm confused on anyways)when I finally get the svg files in, they do not show up as "cut" files.. they are transparent... ???

Does this mean that I need to upgrade (and pay the $50) my Studio Silhouette software to use the cut files I purchased from Studio Calico (because in the .zips, there are no .studio files, only the .png and .svg files) ???
thanks for the video :)

@nolwenn - you can use the .pngs and trace them in the free edition of the silhouette studio software. =)

The die cut sold in this website are only for the studio software? Can it be used with other types, for example Cricut?
