It cuts trhough vinyl, so it should cut through contact paper.
 
Wow, I'm so happy I've found this thread.
My Silhouette is standing next to me and we are not, yet, the best of friends due to a lot of trouble with the matte.....long story ;)

But learning about 'Print and Cut' today, we have to make out again, because this I have to try myself. It really opens a lot of possibilities combining the Silhouette and all our digi-stuff.

Thank you so much for this thread.

which is better the silhouette or the silhouette sd?

I think it all depends on how you want to be connected to the machine. With Silhouette you need to have the computer connected to cut anything and with the Silhouette SD it's not necessary if you have a card reader. I opted for the Silhouette SD since I work from mutiple PCs/laptops and it works best for me. If you only work from one computer and have a spot near it to keep your machine then you can have it connected all the time and it shouldn't matter which one you get.

ok one more question - does it cut felt? Or does any of the die cutting machines do that?

I've not tried it and to be honest I wouldn't suggest it in any of the die cutting machines...the only one I think might do it would be the Pazzles Inspiration but you're talking really pricey there.
 
Hi Christine,

I've had a Silhouette SD since June. I won it from Hero Arts & QuicKutz! I love it. I use it on a regular basis. You can see work on my blog.
 
Thanks Anthonette! The cards you've made with the Silhouette are amazing!


(My blinkies will come back tomorrow...)

I would like to buy one for me, but I am afraid it is produced only for the U.S. market, which means 110 V and other plug than the European standards... :(

Nope, they make them for Europe as well. I live in the Netherlands and I have one and it works beautifully :)
