Hi there. Torn edge - well, I don't think you can do that with a Cameo. How I do it is - mark a feint line where you want the edge and then if you want it fairly straight put a ruler near the line and tear the bit you want OFF towards you from the top. If you want a rough lined edge then just tear from the top, towards you again, but this time placing a finger against the line and moving down as you go. I am sure there must be videos on You Tube or try Pinterest.
Deckle edge - then I think you would need a template - free of course!!
do let us know how you get on. Practice with some old bits of card or paper first.
I have a template for a deckle edge 5 x 7” card. If you still need one let me know and I will put it in the templates section.
Thank you for your help. I would actually want to do the torn edge using the silhouette cameo. Shirley Anne yes i would be grateful of the template. Thanks.
Hello i get this on my brouser that ukscrappers is not secured
I get that too Ruth but I've had no trouble
Have put the deckle edge file in the templates section Ruth.
Thanks for your help. Thanks Shirley Anne for the template.
Some years ago I bought 2 rulers with fancy edges for paper tearing but I can't remember where I bought them - can't remember where I put them either!

I have one too but don’t think I ever used it. I see that quite a few places still sell them though.
Glad to see that others have got craft items that they haven't used, I thought I was the only one! The only craft tool (apart from the obvious like scissors) that has stayed by my side is my Robo followed by my Cameo. :)
