How cut out an image you can stamp with Cameo.

Hello everyone!
Well, it has been an exciting few days.  I was asked to make a tutorial for cutting out a stampable image for a particular stamp.  This tutorial has several How-To pictures and one video at the end.

 Dilo en EspaƱol Stamp "Mary a la Moda" Stampable Tutorial
Supplies used:
Dilo En Espanol:
Mary a la Moda

Ranger Archival Ink pad

Premium White Cardstock

Large acrylic block for stamping.

For this tutorial, you will also need a scanner, Silhouette Designer Edition Software
and a Silhouette cutting machine. I used the Cameo

First, you need to stamp your image.
 
Once your image is stamped, you can scan it on your printer. Most printers have scanners.

If you do not have a scanner, you can probably take a picture with your camera and save it on your computer. You can use a photoshop to help you turn it into a workable format, such a jpg or png. If you don't have photoshop or any type of editing software, simply use Paint- all computers come with Paint.
Crop your image to the appropriate size.




Once you have scanned and cropped your image, you can save it on your desktop so you can find it easily.


Open your Silhouette Designer Edition program then click on File, then click on Open (or click on the Open icon). Locate your image where you saved it.  You have to change the File type to indicate All Files. When you find your image, double click on it.



Here is the stamped image on your Silhouette Designer Edition program.

So here is my video explaining how I did the rest. Thank You!
