I have a confession to make I love stationary, pens, paper, pencil cases, stickers the lot. Now business stationary actually excites me. I love adding a little sticker to a bag or a box. What's business stationary? Well for me it's thank you stickers, business cards and leaflets. But did you know you can make these using the silhouette cameo or curio?. Well today I used my curio but it's equally as easy on the cameo or portrait. Let's start with business cards. Open up your silhouette studio and click the registration marks to suit your machine and make a box size 2 by 3.5 that's the standard business card size but it may be that you don't want to use a standard size it may be that you want to make a different shape that is up to you. Now fill with the information you need. #your logo #bussiness name #contact details #shop #social media info #brief discription. Now I will be honest it's easy and quicker to order some from a big company like vista print but I only wanted a few as I may need to change some of the information on them so this is a great option for me. I'm not an expert but you need to make sure you are only cutting out the card and not the text. If your unsure of this you can simply remove the text before you cut. Once you have decided you are happy with your card you need to work out how many you can fit on your mat remembering not to go out side the registration marks. Once your ready load up your card and send to your printer. Once printed you need to load up your silhouette to cut the cards out. Hopefully your machine will pick up the registration marks and cut your cards out perfectly. Stickers I love stickers so I decided to make logo ones and thank you ones. It's the same process as above your still printing and cutting but this time your printing on sticker paper. I will try and get a film of me doing this with some fun stickers only I'm having sound issues at the moment. Now don't fear if you don't have a silhouette machine you can get all sorts of stationary printed for you or you can print using word and simply use a paper trimmer to trim to size for your business cards.
If you like stickers then you will need to see my post coming very soon. I have a new machine coming this week and all I will say is I am very brand loyal!. I hope you have found this useful as always happy crafting xxx
