NEVER THROW AWAY ANOTHER DISPOSABLE PLASTIC BLADE HOLDER AGAIN!
Our Story
We're Back!!!
As of September 4, 2013!!!
First of all, a great big thank you to the all of the kind folks who have encouraged us to continue producing the Click It 'n' Cut Click Blade Holders.
It has been 11 months, to the day since we received a phone call from The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, in California, informing us my childhood home that I, Jordan, had shared with my now deceased mother had been burglarized.
To make a very long story short, traveling back and forth, recovering from the trauma of the burglary, repairing the damage, finding suitable tenants, dealing with the court/legal system, all the while trying to live life, was all we could balance.
The good news is WE'RE BACK AND WE'RE IN BUSINESS!
Our Story
I recently bought a Silhouette Cameo© plotter-cutter upon the recommendation of some of my fabulous forum friends at Make-The-Cut.com I wanted the creative freedom that these great little cutters provide. No longer restricted by designs that were limited to cartridges, I began cutting some vinyl for a reusable plastic tumbler. Little bits of vinyl got caught in the OEM disposable plastic blade/holder that came with the Cameo and it was unusable after about 20 seconds of cutting. I was frustrated. I called the Silhouette company and they cheerfully agreed to send me a replacement.
While I was waiting, I had my DH (a mechanical genius, a retired tool and die maker, and an all around great guy!) take a plastic click blade holder that I'd purchased as a spare for the cutter I used to use and machine it to fit my Cameo©.
IT WORKED!!!
We've taken the holder that was originally designed for the Pazzles machine and now we've modified it so you can use it with your Cameo or Zing cutter! Weighing in at 10 to 11 grams, it is lightweight; perfect for the hobbyist machines.
When the replacement disposable plastic blade/holder came I realized that not only was this going to end up being an expensive endeavor each time I needed a new blade, it was also very ECOLOGICALLY UNSOUND!!!!!.
Thousands of these little disposable plastic blade/holder combos will be going into land fills all over the world. I have been working really hard over the past several years to "green-up" our household and to encourage others to do the same. The Click It 'n' Cut! Click Blade Holders certainly fill the bill.

Got my order yesterday and I'm glad you are back!!! I tried to replicate this product but did not have success in doing so. I am very happy you are back in business!!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try your system with my Silhouette Cameo. I don't see markings on the blade housing corresponding to the numbers on the Silhouette blades. (Numbers 0-10) I rely on those numbers heavily and was wondering how your system works.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy
DeleteThank you for your interest in our product!
The numbers on the Click It 'n' Cut Click Blade Holder do not correspond directly to the numbers on the Silhouette blade.
There are two blog posts that will better help you understand the cutting depths, etc..
Click It!was posted on May 6th 2012 and talks about each of the settings 1 through 6
Cut! was posted on May 8th 2012 and addresses the 3 different blade sizes and their uses!
Hope this helps!
Cheers
