Does it seem like most of the projects out there for Silhouette and Cricut users involve vinyl?

Just me? No? Okay, good.

Because even though you can do so much with vinyl and it’s a lot of fun to work with there’s so much more these machines can do. And I haven’t been talking about most of them. Like, at all.

But that’s about to change. Because today we’re talking about 10 projects you can make with your machine that have nothing to do with vinyl!

YAAAASSSSS! ?

While that unsure and unconfident period seems like forever ago, in reality it’s only been four years. And while I still have a long way to go when it comes to figuring out all the cool things my machine can do, I’m getting there and taking y’all along for the ride!
