Hi there,
Sunday I have a baby shower for a very kind lady in our church. She is having a little boy and decorating the room with a jungle theme. So I made this personalized gift for her baby.
All the animals are cut from Zooballoo and so is the font. I used Core'dinations cardstock for the animals (except the black and white on the zebra). I sanded them all very lightly to give it a little texture and more "fur like."
The vinyl is on the glass. I had a little trouble with the shadow and the regular font adhering correctly but I am OK with the end result. I would like to move the letters some but I am afraid I would only mess it up more!!!
Pick out a frame. I got this one on clearance and it was perfect for what I wanted to do.
I tend to put a million things on my mat at once. It minimizes how long I have to wait for cuts.
I used the "pictures" that came in the frame and cut my cardstock to cover them perfectly. This is Core'dinations cardstock from their Ebony & Ivory pack.
One animal at a time :)
After putting all the animals on I measured my frame and drew lines on the glass with marker.
* I then put the green layer of letters down on the glass.
* The blue letters had to be done one letter at a time because of the shadow feature not lining up right.
* I did use transfer tape. Vinyl sticks fast on glass so you need to work quickly and as accurately as possible.
I linked this over to Getting Cricky which you can find
here. Her challenge this week was about creating something from the heart, something that inspires you. Not much inspires me more than new life. I loved creating this and thinking of the baby and the mom receiving it.
Thanks for visiting!!!!
