Here is a quick guide on how to trace and detach a photo: In addition, the photos must have a clean and/or contrasting background in order for the trace to be effective. It also requires a more advanced knowledge of Silhouette Studio to accomplish this technique. To make a “trace and detached” photo, please note that this process is quite time consuming because there is a fair bit of editing involved. Using a giraffe, for example, would not be the easiest shape to add a photo to as it is an odd shaped design-too tall and too narrow. I would recommend using a shape that is proportionate to fitting the photo. This example, which I think best represents the reader’s project idea, can be achieved by following the above circle tutorial but instead of drawing a circle, import a design from the library. The second example depicts a photo added to a maple leaf. The first example shows a “Trace and Detached” photo with an added background. Here are a couple of variations that you could do instead: That’s it! The photos are ready to be adhered to the green circles. Make sure that the cover of the machine is closed and that it is in a well lit location.

Before cutting, perform a test cut (the test cut button is found in the Send to Silhouette window).Once printed, place the photo paper onto the cutting mat.Place the photos onto the page avoiding the greyed out areas. Also, make sure that the pictures are not placed outside of your printer’s boundaries.In the Registration Marks window, select Type 1 (CAMEO, Portrait) in the Style menu.In the Design Page Settings window, select letter sized paper.Next, the print and cut feature will need to be set up: Open the Modify window and select Crop.Place one circle on top of each photo and resize the photos as necessary.I made 13 circles that were slightly smaller than the main body’s green circles.Hold down the shift key while drawing the circle to make it perfectly round. Next, use the “Draw an Ellipse” tool to create a circle.I was able to import my photos by dragging them from iPhoto into Silhouette Studio. Import your photos into Silhouette Studio.I think that this project will serve as a great tutorial to address the reader’s question. I added monthly baby photos to each circle of the caterpillar’s body to display his growth throughout the year. Cut it out.”.Ī couple of years ago, I made a Very Hungry Caterpillar photo banner for my son’s 1st birthday. Yes, the CAMEO can cut photo paper and yes, you can cut a photo in any shape your heart desires! The CAMEO is a really versatile tool and I happen to agree with Silhouette America’s slogan, “Dream it up. Would you happen to know the best way to do that? Is photo paper something that the Cameo can cut? I may also need to manipulate the photo by enlarging and cropping so that his face would be sure to fit inside the outline. I would like to cut out a photo of my grandson on photo paper in the shape of the animal and then put that over the plain paper back. So the front will look cute but the back will just be plain paper in the shape of the animal. I will be mounting them on chopsticks and then sticking them in a potted plant. I am new to my Cameo and I am making some of the Silhouette Zoo Animals for table decorations for my grandson’s first birthday party. Hello! Last week a reader asked how to crop a photo in the shape of an animal.
