Hello great video. I’m actually on my silhouette studio doing this while watching your video and I’m stuck… my point editing won’t work 🥺 I’ve been trying and trying and the dots don’t appear. I have the basic program that came with my silhouette. Do I need to upgrade to use point editing?

[@AimsysAntics]

You should have point editing with the basic edition. I only have this version, so it should work for you too. Have you tried clicking and looking on the side panel for the point editing? Sometimes double-clicking the image opens it up, as well as highlighting by dragging your mouse up whilst holding down the left mouse button. It might be worth selecting the image and right-clicking 'release compound path' to see if that brings up the option. It's worth checking out the weld option as well as another comment has pointed out, this will reduce needing to delete everything. Hope that helps and you are able to get it working to create your cake topper! Xoxo

@@AimsysAntics I’m definitely going to try it out! Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate your time and quick response! Keep posting amazing videos! Your awesome 😎 xoxo

[@AimsysAntics]

No problem at all...hope it helps! I'm still trying to learn all the ins and outs of silhouette studio so will try help in anyway that I can. After all being creative is lots of things, including helping others to be too! Thank you so much! 🥰 xoxo

Thanks for sharing . Do i really need another kind of blade to cut that cardstock? Or just use the autoblade?

[@AimsysAntics]

Thanks for commenting! No, you can use the autoblade. I used the other one because my autoblade had problems and they were easier to repurchase at the time. Hope that helps! Xoxo

[@destinyzchild84]

Your video is so informative, may I know what sheet of paper are you using ? I m looking for the metallic ones that we put on cake for name of the birthday person

[@AimsysAntics]

Glad you found it helpful! I can't quite remember the card weight, but I bought it from one if the local point shops. You could try Amazon...they have a tonne of options to buy! Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😊

[@chelseyflores6931]

I am using the same material but my cameo says that it cannot read the registration marks, however, my printer can't print on this type of material. what should I do?

[@AimsysAntics]

I am not an expert with the software but have found that you have to check the registration settings to make sure they are within the boundary. Also shine a torch or make sure the machine is in good lighting so it can read the marks. Hope that helps! Xoxo

[@sweetlunamaria]

It turned out beautiful! Can’t wait to try it! 🙌

Glad you liked it! Hope you have fun making your own! Thanks for watching & commenting :) xoxo

[@trebstv3481]

my point editing in silhouette studio was disabled why this happen? I just bought my cameo 4 pro last week .I do really need an assistance. can you help me?

[@AimsysAntics]

I'm not sure why it would be disabled. Could it be in the settings? Any issues I have I head to this blog, they have really useful tips and guides - www.silhouette101.com/archives/point-editing-basic-edition-and-higher Sorry I couldn't be more help (I'm still learning all the things silhouette studio related), hope you can get it sorted xoxo

HOW CUTE and so informative!! Love this video! Thanks for sharing girl! Our little guys birthday is coming up I'll have to try making one for him .

[@AimsysAntics]

Aww so glad you liked it! Have fun creating your own... it's amazing what you can create with a digital cutter, isn't it?! Thanks for watching 💖😊 xoxo

[@veronikasandra7931]

Hii, thank you for sharing! It so nice... but i hv a question, what kind of paper? Cardstock paper? Let me know bcause i want to make it at home ...thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@AimsysAntics]

Hello, Glad you like it. I use cardstock, it is best to use as thick as you can for more durability about 320gsm. Hope that helps! xoxo

[@cupsanncakes6063]

Can’t I use autoblade because I don’t have rachet blade if I’m using autoblade what number should I go with this card stock

[@AimsysAntics]

Yeah you can absolutley use the autoblade. I had trouble with mine, so used the rachet blade instead and saved my autobalde for vinyl. It is all personal preference. The blade setting will depend on your cardstock and how thick this is. It is a bit of trial and error, so I would advise testing out the settings on scrap pieces of the card you want to use and write down which settings worked best. I have since found cutting from the back (so the back facing up rather than to the mat) and slowing the speed down gives a cleaner cut, especially for the more intricate parts of a design. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! xoxo

[@cupsanncakes6063]

Thanks for your brief response 🥰

[@cupsanncakes6063]

Dear can you please help me for my Cameo it didn’t work with 200gsm cardstock I tried everything but it didn’t work

[@cupsanncakes6063]

@@AimsysAntics I bought this last week

[@AimsysAntics]

Are you using the auto blade? Sometimes it doesn't change the settings when going to cut, so you have to watch it it changes it to the correct depth. Also what setting are you selecting in the 'send' tab? I often use the cardstock - texture heavy or even the glitter cardstock for the thicker card. Sometimes the pre-set settings just don't do what you want them to do, so it is a good idea to play about with the force amount and the speed to see if that helps. Also check the blade hasn't got debris in it, because that can stop it from cutting too. I would also suggest checking your mat, and making sure the card is adhered to this, if it is loose it won't cut properly. Check if there is NY debris on the mat as well because that can impact. Finally check the design that you are cutting and whether you have the correct cut lines for what you want it to. Hope that help, just some of the things I have found when playing about with the software. It does take a lot of trial and error to find out which works best for the materials you are using. xoxo

[@deejaybasilio2287]

Hello how do you call that gold color for cake toppers? Is that an acrylic?

[@AimsysAntics]

Hello, this is just standard gold card stock. Acrylic ones look so nice, but unfortunatley the Silhouette cameo 4 doesn't cut this material, and you need a special laser type cutter for it. Thanks for watching :) xoxo

[@deejaybasilio2287]

@@AimsysAntics thanks for the reply. I would like to ask What cutter is good for acrylic?

[@margaritaperez7944]

What is the name of the font for the "2nd" one?

[@AimsysAntics]

I believe it is the Clover typface from Font Bundles. Hope this helps! xoxo

[@chillrhythm0924]

What kind of paper did you use?

[@AimsysAntics]

I used a regular card from the craft/stationery section of the cheap shop. I think it is about 300gsm if that helps? Xoxo

[@melllynda7122]

Are they 2 different toppers ?They look different,one looks more slim than the other one

[@AimsysAntics]

Good spot! Yes, they are 2 different ones but the same process in making. The thicker one was for my friend and I didn't manage to complete the video with that one so made another that turned out slightly slimmer! Also, slightly different fonts which can be found on font bundles Xoxo

[@maevemonroe5719]

I LOVE your cake topper! I just found out today through my Amazon orders that my hubs bought me a Cameo 4 (he's not very sneaky😂) and I can't wait for it to come in! I think this might be the first project I try with it because I love it so much. Thanks for the video!

[@AimsysAntics]

Glad you like it! Ooo what a lovely sort of surprise! Haha. It can take a bit of trial and error when starting out, but there are so many things you can make with it! Enjoy! Also would love to see your creations 😊 Thanks for watching xoxo

[@laurar8486]

You totally changed the font from the beginning to the end and didn't say anything! 🤣🤣🤣 It turned out beautiful. The 2nd font is much better!

[@AimsysAntics]

Yes, I did! I made one for a friend and forgot to film the end of it, so made another one with different font 🙈😂I think the second font is much better too, although is more flimsy than a thicker set font. Glad you liked it, and sorry for the confusion! xoxo

[@fizyionakizzie4154]

Hi.. im new here. how to install the wording from albetho to silhouette ?

[@AimsysAntics]

Helllo and welcome! You first go to Font Bundles, search for it under the Free Fonts tab and then download it. Then, open the file that downloaded and click either the .otf or.ttf file to launch the installer. Click the install button and this should install it onto your computer. If you already have the studio open, close it and reopen, or just open if not already. You should then be able to find it in your font list. Hope this helps! xoxo

[@eshanabbas1867]

What material is this

[@AimsysAntics]

It is metallic card with wooden skewers. The flowers are a thickish paper. Hope that helps!

[@teresitaguzman4328]

What blade do I use?

[@AimsysAntics]

I believe I used the ratchet blade that came with my machine. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching 😊💖 xoxo

[@ruthdg5141]

What is that paper's name??

[@AimsysAntics]

It is just a gold metallic cardstock. I am not sure of the brand name, but I think I bought it from a discount type shop. Hope that helps! xoxo

[@titacarat3449]

Feels like I'm listening to Emma Bunton. For me, you sound exactly like her. ❤️

[@AimsysAntics]

I would have never had thought I sounded like her...maybe more like Mel B as we're from the same city. Thanks for the compliment though ❤, I like Emma Bunton! xoxo

awesome video! thank you ♡

[@Mycornerforu]

Very cute. But very difficult for a beginner like me. I wish I could just find something more easy to do.

[@AimsysAntics]

I am sure you will master it with a bit of practice. This one is far from perfect! You can simplify the design to make it easier to cut out. Hope you are able to have a go at making your own! Thanks for watching :) xoxo

[@sorinbadea5352]

The easier way to do it is to right click and WELD, so you don't have to delete all those points.

[@AimsysAntics]

I have had problems getting the 'weld' right but will give it another go the next time. Thanks for your help, will definitely save more time! Thanks for watching 😊💖 xoxo
