Silhouette Mint Machine

After I made the video, I used the file to create a custom stamp with my Silhouette Mint machine. I love this little piece of technology. While the Mint Stamp machine is no longer manufactured, it is still a very handy tool to have around if you can get the stamp kits.

Check out this tutorial for creating with the Silhouette Mint Machine – Let’s Explore the Mint & Silhouette.

You can still find the Silhouette Mint available while supplies last.

I also found Mint Supplies at Vinyl Spectrum too! Check it out HERE.
Let them know EllyMae sent you in the order notes!

And I found the Mint Stamp Maker Bundle at CrafterCuts too – use code SECRETS and save 10% too!

Silhouette Mint Bundle at CrafterCuts

While the Mint Studio software is no longer updated, it can still be used on most computers. I was able to connect to my Silhouette Mint machine with no problems with a Windows 11 computer. However, we have seen some issues connecting to some MAC systems, but not all and the only way to know is to test it.

Find the Mint Studio Software HERE. It’s like a step back in time to what Silhouette version 2 was like. Make sure to follow my tutorial for how you can design in Silhouette and then open in Mint Studio to create your stamp.
