Mint for Small Business


Inspired from Sadie Lish 

I come from a long line of entrepreneurs. I grew up with my parents owning and running multiple businesses. Having owned two businesses of my own, I can tell you that the Silhouette Mint™ would have been a game changer for me—a game changer, I tell you! Prepare yourself to see just how amazing the Mint can be for small businesses.

One of my favorite things about this amazing little machine is that it is a standalone item. You do not need the CAMEO or the Portrait to make it work. It is very user-friendly. If I can make a stamp, you will be able to make a stamp too. This machine will add the perfect personalized touch to any business.

Supplies Needed:
  • Silhouette Mint™
  • Mint Studio™
  • Mint Stamp Kit (pick a size that fits your job)
  • Mint Ink (chose your color)


Step One: Determine Stamp Size

There are seven sizes that vary from squares to rectangles and range in size from 15 mm x 15 mm to 45 mm x 90 mm. Once you decide on a size, carefully remove stamp contents from the box and plastic bag.


Step Two: Design Your Stamp

Open Mint Studio™ and pick the size of your stamp. Design your stamp. The Silhouette Design Store has TONS of great option if you are looking for a particular design.  


Step Three: Print Your Stamp

Click the mint leaf button on the top right. This is the Send to Mint button. Next click on the Start Mint button.


Insert the stamp cartridge in the back of your machine. Be sure to leave the plastic covering on the black stamp pad, and do not bend the cartridge.


Kick back and relax while your masterpiece is made!



When the stamp cartridge makes its way out the front of the machine, the stamp creation process is complete. 


Step Four: Assemble Your Stamp

Fold along the perforated line on the stamp cartridge and remove the black portion (this is the stamp). Stick the stamp to the stamp block that came in your kit.


Add some ink and allow the stamp to sit for a few minutes. Do a few test stamps on some scrap paper to remove any of the excess ink, and then enjoy giving your product all the extra love it deserves.

Here are a few ideas that may work for your business!

Social Media Channels & Website

Nowadays it is so easy to be connected to your favorite businesses through social media. Social media provides such a great tool for small businesses. It is important for your customers to have your information readily at their fingertips; a social stamp makes that possible. You can stamp your information on a number of items! It looks great on this bag of purchased items here.

Silhouette Magnets Tutorial & Review

Inspired by Silhouette School Blog First let's talk about the magnet tutorial and then I'll give you my opinion on if I think you should really spend your money on the magnet sheets. There are a few different ways you can work with the adhesive magnet paper and I tested many a methods.  I'm gonna tell you the good, the bad, and ugly. The first thing you want to do is create your design in Silhouette Studio.   I was making Scrabble-inspired Valentine's Day magnets.  So go ahead and layout your design in Silhouette Studio - either something you've designed yourself or a design you got from the Silhouette Design Store or elsewhere. When you're finished designing, you can get ready to cut your magnet.  Now remember you have to cut both the actual magnet material and then you have to cut a second layer to go on top of your magnet (either vinyl or paper).   But first let's work on just cutting the magnet material.  So select your design and from th...
