Name Sign

For my aunt's birthday I wanted to try out something I haven't done before.  She has a really cute house with lots of unique and tasteful things on the walls.  So I wanted to give her something personal for the house.
First I got a frame:
 The print on the scrapbook paper doesn't show up all that much in the pics.  Sorry about that!
I used the Base Camp font cartridge for the lettering and made it the correct size by using my Gypsy.    Then I cut the name out onto black card stock to see how it looked and to pick the background.  The background is just a design piece of card stock.  One thing that bothers me about this font when I look at the pics is the size of the "O"s... I find it odd that they are taller and this will make me crazy forever now!!!!  Anyway, once I liked it all I cut it on vinyl and used transfer tape to adhere the letters to the outside of the glass.  I find it important to mention here.... the transfer tape rocks my world!  I WILL be using this from now on when doing a vinyl project.

  1. Again, another unique and simple idea. And you are starting to make me believe that maybe I can use vinyl too. I want to but I've been afraid of screwing it up. So far my cricut only knows paper. Looks like I'll have to challenge myself one day and give vinyl a try. (Yes, I have delusions of grandeur. I think I'm Martha Stewart, but it comes off more like Jon Stewart.)

  2. Denise, thanks for all your kind comments!!! I was SO SCARED of vinyl. So I started with a project on Dollar Store contact paper for my husband- I figured that was safe to mess up :). I have only done a handful of vinyl projects but have REALLY enjoyed using it. Contact paper isn't as cooperative but can be tons cheaper and I teach, therefore, I am all about cheap supplies!

  3. Let's dive into the world of home cleanliness. It's not just about keeping up appearances; it's about creating a space that promotes well-being and comfort. From dusting off surfaces to vacuuming carpets and scrubbing bathrooms, every cleaning task contributes to maintaining a healthy environment. Regular cleaning helps reduce allergens, prevents the spread of germs, and improves indoor air quality. So, whether it's a quick tidy-up or a deep clean, investing time in home cleanliness pays off in the long run, ensuring a happier and healthier living space for you and your loved ones. https://www.kdcleaningny.com/
