If you don't like to fussy cut, use the new PixScan technology that's available for the Silhouette Cameo. I received this amazing gift for Christmas, and this card was my first time using it. It was so fast and easy that I will never fussy cut anything ever again. (To heck with Calgon... Cameo, take me away!)
Thanks for stopping and have a blessed day!
