I don’t have a die cutting machine, but I use a die cut and embossing machine...like this one . I don’t mind buying the die cuts and using the manual machine. I do use it quite a bit and it takes up less space than a cricket or something like that.
I have this one which works great:

Ok - There are so many ways you could go here! Links as examples only. You can get this stuff anywhere.
To decorate cards/ envelopes she has purchased, your best bet is WASHI TAPE. Washi tape is a paper tape that is removable but also sticks really well. It's relatively affordable and comes in tons of different designs. A large number of people active on this sub have an
unhealthybeautiful obsession with washi tape. Themed sticker sets like this or this are also great to add decor to cards. You can always find something in her style.If you want to start her off on making her own cards, you can still start with washi and stickers. You can also add in some blank cards that she can use as a base (Not this set though, it's too pricey for what you get) or maybe some patterned paper or heavy cardstock.
Hope that helps start you off right! Always happy to answer any questions :)
I just got this one and I love it

Amazon has a pretty broad range they sell so that plays into our favor, however I definitely recommend buying a bigger bulk size and then cutting it down to the measurements of your cakes. You’ll want to adjust for thickness as well, nothing too thin so you don’t lose control and nothing too thick to where you can’t manipulate it enough. I’ll link some of my favorites I’ve found on Amazon so you can kind of gauge what you prefer.

Hope these kind of help steer you in the right direction. These are just my top three and I use them for various sized desserts. Thickness and flexibility is key for keeping those sides clean, so finding that acetate unicorn is key!
What if you created something like this but larger scale for cartridges?

I use this one https://www.amazon.ca/Crop-Dile-Corner-Chomper-Scallop/dp/B01DJQNIZA/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?keywords=corner+punch&qid=1574949242&sr=8-16
but I'm in Canada and there isn't much selection unless I want to pay through the nose for the Oregon Laminating ones that are apparently the best.

Also any Inkjet printer in particular or anything I need to look for in them specifically to make sure it would work good? Sorry if these are novice questions I'm brand new to this.
It’s actually pretty easy to do!
You need the following:

This is what the sheet with designs looked like on the computer screen before it was sent to the printer.

The red line around most of the images shows where the Cameo 3 will cut.
My wife likes to leave a little white boarder, but you can cut right up next to the img if you prefer.
It’s a very easy and intuitive software to use and tweak!
I just had to move it to a secret one cause it keeps going out of stock and not restocked for awhile but check out this guy... in fact I'm going to throw him on my wishlist until the other one comes back into stock lol.
We made a bunch of cool wood signs and glass projects with the vinyl that were fun, easy to make, and super cute! I really liked doing them!
You could stitch on these!
It is an arts and craft machine designed to cut out patterns and print drawings; hooks up to your home computer like a printer. Check out:
Cameo on Amazon
After I selected what I wanted cut out on the plastic stencil material, I fed that sheet into the machine and it cuts out the design. My wife uses it to cut out vinyl to apply to T-shirt’s, things like that.
And I use these, because they were on sale last year.

I have 7 wishlists, because being organized is awesome.
On my general one, I have bluetooth earphones, this tea/mug set, a Silhouette Cameo 3, BOSU ball and various other workout equiptment, a BaBylissPro Titanium straightener, and an essential oil diffuser.
I then have a bedroom redo list with a couple items, a book wishlist with like 100 books, a list for gifts for my family as I come across possible things to get them for holidays and their bithdays, a kombucha wishlist with new jars and other fun kombucha things, potions and powders for smoothies and matcha lattes at home, and a vegan list where I keep my vegan snacks, plant protein, and other plant-based items.
Thanks!
I have this vinyl cutter and I used smooth, heat transfer vinyl. My wife uses the machine for her business and I get to have cool custom work done for free.
I can't wait to do more!
