My first projects were Christmas ornaments but obviously that isn't timely anymore. What kind of stuff are you interested in making? Greeting cards? Home décor? Hybrid/pocket scrap supplies? I searched the Silhouette Online Store for shapes that looked cool and got them with the download credit that came with the machine. I think most of what you find there is going to be pretty easy to make. My first ones I just did on colored cardstock because I thought print and cut would be complicated, but honestly, it's not! So just pick something and go, I say

Pick some of your fav digital elements and do a print and cut. It's my favorite feature to use with my Portrait.

My first project was mustache and lips on sticks for a bridal shower game. Now that the shower is done I'm moving on to vinyl this weekend. I got some great clearance items after Christmas at Target (gold trays, silver flasks, and a champagne cooler (silver). I plan to try to customize those.
What about some kind of Valentine project???

There are a couple of Silhouette FB groups that focus a lot on vinyl; All things silhouette and Happy SIL for example. Great places to get inspiration and ask for advice.
If you're interested in HTV and rhinestones you should check out Bling craftography, also on FB.

I just checked the Happy Sil group page and there are new members added, so I don't think it's closed. You might need an e-mail invite though. If you PM me I'll try to send one and we'll see how it goes.

What kind of things should I purchase to have on hand? Like just to play around with.

I love the double sided adhesive, using vellum, and foil paper.
Sara(misfitinmn) and I just started a challenge group on FB with pretty simple monthly challenges. If anyone wants to join, it's called SIlhouette Adventures: https://www.facebook.com/groups/763721176990431/

I don't have them yet, but I really want to try the printable craft paper and the printable sticker papers. Oh, and the dubble sided adhesive to use with glitter You should really get some extra blades and mats before you NEED them. You need a new, sharp blade for cutting intricate designs, for simple designs you can use a less sharp one.
