Silhouette Chipboard... coming soon!

This is exciting friends... today's product reveal is the NEW Silhouette Chipboard. Yes, we know that chipboard itself is nothing new, but you've asked for it, so we've cut and tested, and cut and tested all different kinds and found what works best with the Silhouette.  Here's a peek at some of the reasons I love this chipboard...

It's great on it's own for 3d shapes, or with a spritzed pattern like this little box.  {LOVING the combo of chipboard and spritz!}


Or, when you need a shape to be a little more durable, covering the chipboard with patterned paper does the job. 

*as each new product goes live and is available for purchase, I will post updates, so stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Sounds exciting, but can this chipboard also be cut with the older Silhouette? My Silhouette is already struggling with heavier (220 gsm) cardstock, which is why I don't use my Silhouette a lot.

  10. I hope that there is a new blade to cut this chipboard because the current blades can barely get through Bazzill cardstock.

    1. I use bazzil all the time and it cuts great... blade at 3 or 4 depending on how sharp and paper thickness at 30...

    1. it's a new material to cut... we'd have heard a lot more about a new machine on the market - and as you can see from the comments - it's a new material that's been greatly anticipated... Have fun with your new Cameo - you'll have a blast xx

  16. I have used my new Portrait 4 times. The first two times worked fine. The third time it detected registration marks, but the cutting was way off. The 4th time, it won't detect registration marks at all. So it doesn't even get to cutting. I went to the manual and looked at the trouble shooting section. It did not correct the problem. Help!! I actually have to have this done by Sunday.

    2. If you haven't gotten help yet... I had some trouble with registration marks.. and for me, it was operator head space:) I had 12x12 paper selected and had put shapes and designs and printed it, but it was only on an 8.5x11 paper naturally, so it didn't print the registration marks properly...

    3. Thanks Jeana, I will email them. And thank you iamb. I have correct paper size selected. It did it before, it just suddenly won't recognize them. Thanks for the try though!

  20. I can't wait! This is great news. Will this require a different blade??

    1. Studio 2.7.6 has the chipboard as an option in the Cut Settings Window and only requires the blade to be set on 5. Same blade.

  21. AWESOME!!!! My question has been asked above about the blade, can't wait to hear the answer.

  24. Can you suggest a box shape that can be cut on a Silhouette SD that will make a bigger box? Even if I had to buy several shapes that go together? I am thinking a box that would be big enough to hold envelopes and cards...?

    ReplyDelete
  25. When are you shipping to Canada?

    ReplyDelete
