Silhouette America - Cameo - Electronic Cutting System - PixScan Mat - 8.5 x 11.5

The 8.5" x 11.5" PixScan Mat for your Silhouette Cameo Electronic Cutting System allows you to bring creativity to your projects. Use your own digital camera, scanner or even your smartphone to take a picture of a printed material that you have adhered to the PixScan Mat. Import the image to your Silhouette Studio Version 3.1 or higher (software sold separately, free upgrade available) and add cut lines. Then insert the PixScan mat into your Silhouette Cameo (also sold separately) to cut out the image precisely. The package includes one PixScan mat that measures approximately 11.75" x 13" with a 8.5" x 11.5" cutting area. Here are some fun ideas:

Save any scanned or photographed image into your personal digital library

Incorporate any printed image or pattern in your custom craft projects

Digitize your stamp collection into corresponding cut files

Turn photos and magazine clippings into cut or sketch files

Replicate a pattern at its original size

Turn hand-drawn sketches and lettering into cut jobs

Save material and time using the "nesting" feature in Silhouette Studio

Add custom-cut borders and frames to professionally printed invitations

Digitize fabric patterns

  Scan and cut any pattern, image etc!

  I will admit it took a bit of patience and time to calibrate my camera (I have an iPhone 5). You have to have the dots from the calibration page fill the entire screen (no desk or table around in the image). But once I got it calibrated I was able to cut out star bursts from a patterned paper, add my own shapes to cut, save those starbursts for future cuts and more! This is SUPER cool technology and I have just scratched the surface with its uses, but I am excited to see what else it can do.
