    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!

    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.

    OMGggggg!!! I am SO grateful someone shared your LINK with me!THIS is exactly what I have been looking for - not just What to do, but HOW, WHAT & WHY YES YES! I hope you have LOTS more Videos for me to follow! I have my First Ever Silhouette Cameo3. I know NOTHING except how to type a word - THEN WHAT needs to be done (and why) I had NO IDEA! How can you spend this amount of $$ on this equipment and there is no Manual is Crazy - especially the ULTIMATE BEGINNERS MANUAL, LOL. LOVE THIS - CLEAR, CLEAN, CONCISE! HOME RUN FOR ME ;)

    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!!!

    Just got a silhouette cameo 4. Had a Pazzle that I used for banner letters that no longer works. I am having trouble getting the 1.5 inch letters with the silhouette that I need for the banners. It always goes back to 72.0 when I need 215.0 or 1.5 inches. How do I get the size to stay where I need it? Thanks. Your tutorial was great!

    Hey Kimber! Thanks for your great tutorial on using tText in Silhouette Studio! To be honest, I got an early version of the Portait back 2016 I think.. however, due to having to move my address so many times, my silhouette stuff has just boxed up and away for so long. Quite frankly, a lot of my silhouette stuff has gone missing (incl. cutting mat, cutting blade, tools etc and I am starting as a newbie. There is so much much new stuff out that frankly I don't know where to begin and what sort of cutting files you can use on basic Silhouette Studio. I have a Windows 10 laptop. Would you please advise me as to where to start!? Do I have to use vinyl etc? Help!!!!

    This was so helpful. If I may ask a question regarding text, please. When using script fonts with glyphs, a blue line appears under certain words/names - indicating a misspelled word. I've tried adding them to the dictionary but it doesn't seem to accept the word and the blue line remains which then also prints. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks so much!

    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!
