Do you remember the Christmas vinyl pieces I made with Oh My Crafts vinyl?
I love these images that are already made. I picked this up in the Silhouette online store over Black Friday weekend for .50 cents. I’ve always wished I had the talent and patience to design word art. I have a difficult time seeing what looks good. Lucky for me I can just hop online and buy one.
I cut it out of white vinyl, and put it on a board I painted with DecoArt Festive Green.
After I applied the vinyl, I brushed on some of the DecoArt Glamour Dust. (right over the vinyl)
It’s difficult to capture the shimmer with the camera. I love the crisp white on the green, and the glitter just makes me smile!
My friend Stephanie from Cre8tive Designs Inc texted me a picture of a subway art she did, and me, being addicted to my Silhouette machines I just HAD to whip out one for myself. Stephanie’s was soooo cute! After talking to her, I remembered that I bought a bunch of images over the black Friday weekend.
As you can see, I draw little boxes and lines around my words. It makes it easier to weed large pieces. I designed this and cut it out with my Cameo.
I added the Christmas lights because this was a cupboard door and it still had the handle holes. (I didn’t want to take the time to paint it)
After I cut out the red vinyl, I copied and pasted the items that I wanted to be green and yellow cutting those out separately.
If you don’t have a Cameo, and are interested in getting one, they will be having an after Christmas sale…and a certain blogger just might be having a giveaway.
I hope you’re ready for Christmas! As I write this post (pre-Christmas) I am not ready. Hopefully by the time this post is live on the blog I’ll be ready.

Merry Christmas!

December 23, 2011 at 1:11 pmI’m a sign nut and yours are so very decorative and festive! I can’t imagine the convenience of having a machine that does the cutting for you! That’s got to be a lot of fun. You do a wonderful job with it. The door sign is the best! Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!

December 22, 2011 at 5:52 pmOh, I love that! My hubby got me a Cameo for Christmas, but I’m still intimidated by it! I can’t wait to make subway art like yours!
Thanks for commenting on my blog…I thought I might be alone in the wood-smelling club! 🙂

Too Cute Gail!
I *love* the lights on the outside of the ‘frame’!!
Good idea about the boxes around the larger pieces for weeding! I’ll have to keep that in mind!

December 22, 2011 at 3:37 pmWhat a fun project. I love the different colors and the great use of the cabinet door. I hinted months ago that I wanted a Silhouette for Christmas. Hmm, I wonder if they were listening.
Hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas.

December 22, 2011 at 1:38 pmGail, I just love your vinyls. Every time you make something new, I end up wishing, yet again, for a Silhouette. I’m not worried, one day I will have one but till then I will do the hard way : ) Merry Christmas my dear friend. Hope you’re enjoying your convection oven so far ; )
