- In this video I show you guys how I use my amazing Silhouette Cameo! First, I do a vinyl lettering design and second a stencil made out of contact paper. If you are thinking of getting a Cameo, I can assure you that you will not regret it! It is one of the best investments I ever made and I am generally pretty careful at what I invest in!

I understand you better than anyone else when your explaining the silhouette,I wish you would make more videos using this machine I sure enjoy watching your videos
I ordered my Cameo 3 back in January 2019 and instantly packed it away. Finally today, after 10 months, I decided to put it to use. This was hands down the best tutorial I've watched. I was so overwhelmed with trying to figure out how everything worked and reading through the downloaded tutorials provided by Silhouette made things even more frustrating and discouraging. I am so thankful that God brought me to this post. Thank you so much for sharing this tutorials and I look forward to seeing more from you.
Omg!! You Always apologize for things you don't need we appreciate wherever you want to teach us!! You're awesome teacher!! Thank you for be so kind and clear when you speak!! Live all your videos ma'am 🤗
Thanks so much Mary for the tutorial on the Cameo. Im ready to order. According to Amazon the Cameo 4 is $329.00. Still doing checking to find the lowest deal, but even at that price, Im sure it will be worth it. I have an old Cricket I am going to sell too, so will put that money towards a new Cameo. Love your pillow, and bread board. You are so inspiring.Thanks again. You make it look very easy.
Haha. “Wouldn’t want to be without either of them”. Subtle dry humor. I would’ve never guessed you had it in you. Love your style and grace.
Probably the best tutorial I’ve watched. You are too hard on yourself. In my humble opinion, you do an excellent job. I love your thrift store makeovers, too. You make everything look possible! You are an inspiration! Thank you!!
Angie Harris I so agree with you, I could have have said it better, I have looked all over TH-cam for a good tutorial using the silhouette, as far as I can tell this is the best, Thank you Mary... have a very Happy Thanksgiving🦃 & Merry Christmas🎄👏🏻👍🏻💖
I agree 100%! This was an amazing tutorial and actually I wished that it did go a little bit longer because it was so helpful, I wanted to see more! So well done!

😂 you are an amazing inspiration to me. I love how you said “ I wouldn’t want to be without either of them.” ❤️
Hello Mary, thank you for being so calm and easy to listen to. I appreciate you making such straightforward, practical videos. I love how you explained how to use contact paper as stencils and demonstrated it. I have a new Cameo 4 and it is quite a learning curve and I'm always interested in simple, practical usages that do not overwhelm. I just subscribed.
I would love a video on your favorite fonts!! More tutorials like this please!
I absolutely love your videos. Your a huge inspiration to me. You motivate me. I own a Silhouette Cameo. I'm going to try the contact paper. My husband is a graphic designer and I'm blessed that he does all my stencils for me. He watched this video with me and has a tip for you when applying vinyl letter to glass that might be helpful. Get a spray bottle. Mix the following:
2 parts water
1 part rubbing alcohol
And a few drops of dish washing liquid
Lightly spray the glass then you will have some time to slide your decal into place. Once it's where you want it, squeegee it down while working the application fluid out. Allow to dry then remove the transfer tape.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you try it and how it goes for you.
Thanks again for your wonderful videos.

Gail Jeffries thanks for the tip!!
I purchased a cameo 3 four years ago and I never uses it…… I got it set up and just feel overwhelmed by it. No ask me about the high end sewing machines and I nail it. You have given me the inspiration to try it…..thank you.
Same here. 2018. Never used. Intimidated
Hi Mary, I don't have this machine and not interested in getting one, but have always wondered how they work and your tutorial was very informative. I can see why you like it so much. It is pretty amazing! Thanks again!!!
Thank you for doing this video. My sister gifted me a Cameo and I no clue to how to use this. I have watched a lot of videos and yours is the only one I can understand and learn from. Thank you!
Because of you, 😄 I just got a Cameo 4 from my family, for my 60th birthday last week. Just getting into it. Software is not easy for a Dummy 😆 Relying on YT for tutorialsand there's lots out there. So thank you for this, Mary!!
I loved this!!! It was not too long at all!!! Now I know I can create some of the same things for my home with a Cameo. Machines intimidate me, but this tutorial was a huge confidence builder. Thank you so much!! 🥰
I just got a Cameo 4 for Christmas 🎄 im so excited, thank you for bringing us amazing videos. If you can make more of this videos I truly appreciate it.
I have just started following you. I really wanted to know how these machines worked and your tutorial was perfect.
Thank you
It is nothing but a God send that I found your channel!! If I am crocheting or having down time I watch your videos.. some more than once.. or twice.. lol.. for inspiration!! I am a crafter/artist and you are such inspiration!! I love your ideas and its like brainstorming with a great friend!!! THANK YOU MARY!!!!!
Thank you for giving me the confidence that I’ve had hidden away to get in to my silhouette cameo. I’ve had it for a while but didn’t want to be wasteful or ruin anything. THANK YOU
Mary, your tutorial was right on point. I’ve wanted to try the Cameo but just didn’t feel confident. Maybe now I can. I’ve watched most of your videos now and I’ve never been disappointed. I learn a lot from them. Thanks
I stumbled upon your videos in the last few weeks (thanks to Covid19). Your manner at which you discuss all topics makes me believe that I, too, can do any of these projects. Thank you for being a blessed distraction during this time. I'm learning to appreciate home a lot more and enjoying the simpler things.
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen on the Silhouette Cameo. I just purchased the Cameo 4 and I’ve not found a video on the new software. You make it easy because you explain everything well and talk slow.
I just purchased the Silhouette Cameo 3 today and can't wait to try it out! all of your projects and videos have inspired me!! Thank you for sharing your creativity!
i have debated buying a silhouette for years, you sealed the deal for me! now to decide when. Thank You for taking the time to make the video.
Thanks Mary. This has been my go to video for the Cameo 3. I just got up the nerve to open mine and learn how to use it. Watching you do the initial design was important. Good information on how to type in the text, highlight and change fonts and size the letters. Also, the stencil information, using the contact paper was excellent.. On your last Q&A people were saying how they couldn't find and Cameo 3. I couldn't either until one day in February, I was shopping at Walmart in the clearance section and low and behold, there it was. $249.00. I grabbed it and walked around the store showing it off. They don't even sell them there. I felt lucky. I'm sure someone had purchased it online and returned it there. I did see one listed on Amazon a couple of days ago for $799. And that was for the Cameo 3.
I have a clock that I want to put letters on. Similar to your project. It's been painted for 6 months or more. I just need to learn how to curve the text. Fun times ahead.
As a side, when my husband is home we love to watch your videos together. Thanks for your sweet spirit.

Mary, You are a great teacher! Don’t be so hard on yourself. We appreciate all you do!
Thank you for doing this video in real time Mary, I loved it, learned a lot & took several notes. I love your style & I’ve made several things for my home using some of your tips. I wanted to let you know that I’ve learned to re-sticky my mat using spray adhesive. There are several TH-cam videos with instructions. I had used my mat to cut faux leather earrings & it leaves a lot of fuzz behind. Using the spray adhesive kept me from having to buy another one.
I just purchased mine and have had it for a week, I have watched so many tutorials and felt lost most of the time, Your tutorial is so well done with very clear information, I learned so much! Thank you!!!
I am so amazed how wonderful person you are. Not just very skillful and creative to what you are doing but you definitely have a clean heart. You do not have any problem to share your experience and knowledge with others. May GOD continue to bless your hands.
Thank you for this tutorial. My daughter is getting married in the Fall and I was looking at this product to make items for the wedding. Your tutorial makes me know I might be able to do it. You showed me the software and how you use it. This was one of my big concerns. I do better with visual learning. You did a great job. I look forward to watching your other videos. Thank you again!!
Nancy Pugh my daughter is getting married in two weeks and I have spent the past year wearing out my silhouette on her wedding lol
The best tutorial for the Silhouette Cameo 3! I just bought my Cameo and simultaneously while watching this video, I did my first Project. Thank You!
this was AWESOME... I just bought my cameo 3 and I was a bit intimidated by it...but this was the Perfect start for me...appreciate you taking the time to explain & then show step by step a couple of examples
Thank you! For going step by step and fully explaining it. I can’t tell how many videos I’ve tried watching and your has been the best. I feel better about trying to tackle my Cameo
This tutorial was the best one I have found for me personally. I have had a cameo for a few years and have been wanting to use vinyl and with your video I feel confident that I will be able to do it 💕 Thank you!!
THANK YOU! !I bought my machine three months ago and just now getting it out of the box. You were such a great help to me
Good job, please don’t beat yourself up, just sharing your method is worthy of praise. Thanks.
Thank for you tutorial. I purchased the cameo 3 and am not normally crafty. Your instructions showed me how simple and that I can use this.
Hi Mary! You are such a breath of fresh air! I’ve been diligently watching your videos and wanted to let you know that you are true joy to watch. As today is my 12th wedding anniversary, my sweet husband purchased the cameo 3 for me and I cannot wait for delivery Tuesday. This video was so informative, thank you. We currently live in San Diego but are moving next summer to southern Indiana (Spencer county) and i hope to get to meet you one day! ~ Holly
I have the latest Cricut. Watching your in depth video has given me some insight and courage to start trying vinyl stencils and sign making. Thank you for taking the time to share everything you do. ❤
I have watched this five times each time I learn something I missed and I now have a stencil!
Great information
Wow you make this look so darn easy!! Thank You so much for breaking this down into simple learning. I get my new Silhouette 3bundle this coming Monday, and now I am confident that I will be able to do my first project with ease thanks to you!!!!
I received a Silhouette Cameo 3 as a Christmas present. I am just getting myself acquainted with the machine and the software now. This video is so very helpful! I enjoyed that it was on the longer side instead of being short and sweet. I definitely learn best by watching and a more hands on approach. I agree, this is one of the best videos I've watched! Thank you!
dont be hard on yourself.. you were perfectly informative.. I just got my camio and needed to know how to do EXACTLY what you showed us what to do.. Perfect instruction! thank you so much
This is the simplest vinyl transfer and stencil video I have seen yet. I am new to the Silhouette, and you covered all the important points very clearly. I was really struggling with using my own lettering designs until I saw your video. It is not too long at all! It was perfect for the material covered. Thank you!
By far the best tutorial i've seen! Absolutely wonderful, thank you so much.
Hi Mary! So glad I found your channel. You’re amazing 😉You really inspire me to get cracking and get my home in shape❤️
Thank you! As a new silhouette owner this is one of the best videos I have seen! Very easy to follow. You inspire me!
I have been using Silhouette for over 10 years and I learned something new from your video, thank you so much!!
I enjoyed your video !!! I have always struggled with making letter for my signs and this video has inspired me to save to get a Cameo . Thank you for taking the time to help others by going over a product that you use and love. I am also thankful that you let us know the vinyl you like to use. It was ALL very helpful !!!
I watched your video of the cutting board and pillow. I had just recieved my cameo and have never used one. I am so excited to get started..thank you so much Linda Plumlee
All I can say is I am so, so happy I found your videos! I love trash to treasure AND I purchased a Cameo a few months back to help with my mobile painting parties (making stencils) but have been a bit intimidated to try it. Your tutorial was perfect! I am binge watching all of your videos as you are an inspiration! Wishing you JOY in this new year! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you so much, my intimidation has kept me from purchasing one of these machines, best tutorial I have seen as of date, makes me think I may be able to do this.😊
Oh my gosh your video was so informative. I have had mine 5 years and never used it was afraid too. Have watched many videos thinking I would like to try and your is the one that I can say I truly got the most out of thanks so much and I wish you would do more videos.
Thank you so much for this video! Thank you for all of you videos! This was not too long at all! I appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate how it all worked. I have wanted one of these for some time now but when it comes to using a machine that's connects to a computer and using the software I am really intimidated to say the least. You have helped ease some of the apprehension I have and I think I will take the plunge soon and get one! I will be sure to click on your link when I do. Thanks again and may God bless you!
Thank you soooo much for sharing with us! You are so sweet and generous and I appreciate your being so genuine! I've been wanting to do some stuff for years, but just keep getting side tracked by life, but you have inspired me! Thank you so much again! God Bless!
Thank you for this tutorial. It is by far one of the most informative videos that I have watched. Looking forward to finding more.
Love your videos. This is such a great explanation. I love that you give all the details-so many assume that I know more than I do. Thank you.
Your calm, peaceful enthusiasm inspires us all!
THANK YOU! I have never been able to figure out how these work for years, so I have not purchased one. Now I completely understand, and plan to get one... thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial!
Mary, I just found your channel and I have been binge watching! You are so talented and I love your style! I’ll continue watching for sure!💗
Me tooooooooo
Peggy Schram me too!! Taking my turn Binge watching now!!
I just got my Cameo 3 and was terrified of it. I've been scouring TH-cam in search of help and your video is the best beginner tutorial that I've seen!! Thank you so much!!
I'm so sooooo happy that you posted this!!! 😄 I has requested this information in another one of your posts😊
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help and time with this matter...
I have watched several videos and yours is the only one that didn't stress me out! I can't wait to get started on all the project's
Very informative and helpful, Mary. Thank you for so generously sharing your knowledge and time!
Have a blessed week!😊
Mary thank you so very much for showing this tutorial. Now, I think I will get mine out of the box and jump right in. I feel so much more sure of my self after watching you. All this time I have wasted with this awesome machine. Ive been checking ever so often to see if you had posted it yet. I knew you would, and again, Thank You!!
I am going to give thanks with a grateful heart because you are a blessing Mary. Thank you so much for your time and effort in helping us newbie silhouette users! Currently trying to figure out how to "arch" words. I'm still so new to the program. You are so informative and helpful!
One of the best tutorials I have seen on this machine. Thanks heaps
Hi Mary! I didn't realize you had a TH-cam channel but I'm so glad I found it! I have really been enjoying your videos a lot! I just wanted to say that you are 100% right about the Oracal vinyl being the best! I did vinyl lettering for about 10 years for a company who used it on the outside items they manufactured & never had any problems with it...I still see some of my work around to this day and none have ever came off to my knowledge. Oracal is a great product! Thanks for all your hard work on these videos!...Sherri
Thank you so much. You helped me to realize that it is not as difficult as I have thought. I love your channel you are such an inspiration. Keep diying. We love you.
This is a fantastic video! I wasn't familiar how these machines worked or even all the things they do and you taught me so much! Thank you so so much! I've started crafting very recently and there is so much to learn. I'm looking forward to more Cameo tutorials Mary. The video was not too long - especially for a novice. I always feel the more info the better! :-) Thank you again!
Thank you so much! Your videos are so very helpful. I refer to them often and recommend them to my friends and family !
Thank you for the complete walk through, from start to finish of a project. You are a great teacher. TFS.
Sweet Mary, this was SO helpful! I’ve been watching you and wondering if I could do something like what you show. You make it look so easy. Thank you.
I have wanted one of these for years, yes years, but felt intimidated by the learning curve. Thank you for this video! I thoroughly enjoyed learning. You are a wonderful teacher. I am ordering one now.
This was wonderful information. You do so many great things that you got me interested in getting the cameo, but I was hesitant about the learning curve (and frustration). You answered so many of my questions I think I will dive in and give it a try. Thank you for making this video.
Loved the video! It didn't seem long at all. A lot of great information packed in that time frame. Great editing! I have learned a lot; I am always inspired by watching your videos. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for making this video! You did an excellent job of explaining everything! The cutting board and pillow cover turned out great!
You shared exactly what I needed. My Cameo arrived today and I’ll set it up tomorrow. Thanks.
This was an awesome tutorial! You are a great teacher! Thank you so much I now feel like I could purchase this machine and use it correctly!
Awesome. Most simple yet effecient explaining! Thanks. Now off to try my first project.
Thank you!! So informative!! My silhouette is so intimidating now I feel like I can do this 😊
I am thinking about getting one. I loved how the basics can be beautiful too. Your video is perfect for me, who is learning. It helped a lot! Thank you!
I’m hoping to get one of these for Christmas tonight. Can’t wait to use it. Your instructions were very well thought out.
Thank you so much this was so helpful. What a great explanation. I hope you do more like this. All the things you made are beautiful. Yes I just love all your idea's, love all your video's looking forward to many more. Have a nice weekend 💕
Hello Mary, I'm so glad you did this tutorial. I've recently begun following your channel and wanted to know more about your Cameo. This was a great help to me in making my decision to purchase. Please don't think it was too long. I think you did a wonderful job getting as much in as you did! Your channel is my absolute FAVORITE. Thank you for the amazing job you do in sharing your skills, knowledge, and information. Blessings dear one!
Thank you very much for this video. As a newbie I appreciate how you broke down the steps.
A little trick I learned from painting that you could definitely use is when you use contact paper to stencil, apply first a light coat of mod podge. It keeps the paint from bleeding under the stencil.
I absolutely love your channel and am truly inspired with every video. Thank you so much for all that you have done. I cant wait to see what you do in the future. God bless!
I'm interested in trying the mod podge method. Do you have any tips?
Me too! Do you apply the mod podge to the stencil, or to the item being stenciled? Thank you!

Mary, you are an inspiration!! I have been on the fence about buying a Silhouette Cameo. The thought really frightens me. After seeing your video, I feel more capable about using it. Thank you for all your help. Linda from New Orleans
This was so amazingly helpful!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!! Best video for how to do exactly what I am wanting to try!
You make it very easy and fun to make beautiful decorations! Thank you for your time and ideas to help others!
Thank you so much Mary! Great tutorial! I will be checking out the machine, been waiting on your guidance! Your cutting board and pillow cover are beautiful!
Your tutorial was awesome. Sometimes screen recording does do funky stuff. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. Keep the tutorials coming.
Thanks love your video on the cameo, your videos and your projects keep them coming 😊
You are Very inspiring, I have been hooked since first video I saw💙 awesome ideas
Wonderful tutorial. Got lots of good info. You did good, thanks!👍
Hi Mary, thank you for the tutorial. Love the before and afters, and the great ideas you come up with. You are inspirational. 👍👍👍👍
Hi Mary! Thank you so much for this tutorial on the machine. Hoping to get one for Christmas and this made me want one even more. So enjoyed it.
I'm Seriously thinking of getting one of these. I think it will take my biz to the next level. Thank you for your videos.
I just love your videos. You take the time to explain things and that is so rare these days. I've wanted a machine like this for some time and I think you have given me the courage to go ahead and give it a try. Thanks for what you do. I so appreciate it.
Great tutorial! You are an amazing person!! I enjoy everything you do. Thank you so very much all you do to help everyone!!
Oh my gosh I am so happy I decided to look at your videos from the past. I received a cameo 4 for Christmas and have been afraid to take it out of the box. Your videos make sense to me and I think if I find the time in the next couple of days I will be taking it out of the box and getting it set up! Thank you for these videos! Happy New Year to you and your family! I love all of your videos!
