Vinyl Decorated Step Stool

Happy Weekend Everyone, I have just a quick post for you tonight. I picked up this step stool a few weeks ago for my grand niece (age 3 ). I was getting ready to drop it off when I thought that I should decorate it with some vinyl. Here's the final result.

I used the Cricut cartridges:

Songbird for the lettering.

A Childs Year for the book, child reading, bathtub and duck images.

Create A Critter for the butterfly and Bird.

I cut the vinyl at a depth of 4, pressure 3, and speed 2.

As you can see, the butterfly and bird were layered, my first attempt.

Enjoy your weekend, Jana

Vinyl Butterfly

Hello Everyone, I hope you all had a relaxing weekend. I managed to get all my yardwork up to date, which was quite a feat. I have just a quick post tonight. I have been wanting to try cutting vinyl car decals with my Cricut. This is a butterfly I made for my Jeep. I used the Home Accents cartridge and cut the butterfly at seven inches. I had wall vinyl and that won't do. I stopped into a shop that does truck signs and asked if they had any scraps and came away with a nice selection, all for free. I used white because I wanted it to really show up on the dark green. If your interested in trying this check out youtube for some great tutorial videos.
Until next time, Jana

Cricut Designed Laptop

Good morning everyone. Looks like were in for a big snowstorm. I don't mind it as long as my power doesn't go out again, lol.

I love cutting vinyl on my Cricut E. I decided to use up some of my scraps and create a design for my laptop. I used the Home Decor Cartridge. The large bird is cut at 9" and the other at 5".

There are some very good instructional videos for cutting vinyl on youtube. Here's one of my favorites:
