Today I have chosen to show you my very first vinyl project. I was really nervous but turns out it's not much different than using paper.
I love Cherries and turns out, it's not so easy to find cherry kitchen stuff. Well, I made my own and I love it! Even the hubby likes it and he usually doesn't have many comments about my work.
I used the From my Kitchen cartridge and cut the oven mit at 6 inches, the pot holder is cut at 4
If you look really close you can see my boo boo's, a few bubbles and not perfect alignment. But it's home made and I'm not trying for perfect, it makes me happy and that's why I love crafting.
And for my second project, I made this gorgeous flower tree. I recently signed up for Close To My Heart and I got the Art Philosophy cartridge. There are several different types of flowers you can cut from this cartridge. I used 3 different ones on my tree. I started with a Styrofoam cone, cut lots and lots of flowers in sizes 2, 3, & 4 inches in peach, yellow and purple paper. I then quilled and quilled and quilled. Once the flowers were dry I put some more glue on the foam then used a pearl headed pin to stick it to the foam. I used a very random placement. I went very fast to keep my perfectionism at bay and to avoid a pattern. The ribbon on top is from my stash, I just tied a bow at each end then stacked them and tucked the loose ends under and stuck it to the top with a pin.
I LOVE this project and it will be displayed prominently in my home. I plan to make more of these for gifts.
