Personalized Cricut Explore Sign

March 8, 2016 by Pam Larmore 1 Comment

I love to give personalized gifts, but sometimes they can be rather pricey.  When I got my new machine, I was so happy that I was going to be able to create a Cricut Explore Sign each time I needed one.
This Cricut Explore Sign was an awesome project to give as a gift. I used Cricut vinyl, transfer tape, stain. acrylic sealer, and a premade wood disk.

Craft Vinyl – Angel Direct Products Review

December 2, 2015 by Pam Larmore 5 Comments

When I received a roll of Angel Direct Products vinyl, it looked pretty ordinary, however when I started using it, I had an “AHA! Moment”.

Angel Crafts Products - You will love craft vinyl from Angel Crafts. I was amazed at what a difference a small packing change could make. Here is a fun craft that I made using it. It can be used with the Cricut Explore, Silhouette, and other cutting machines.

Normally, when you receive vinyl, it is rolled tightly into a small roll, but the Angel Direct Products vinyl was on a 2 1/2″ cardboard core.  Honestly, I didn’t think that it would make much difference, but YES IT DOES!

Fighting with a 12×12 piece of adhesive vinyl is sort of like trying to stuff 5 frisky cats into a cardboard box.  You need lots of hands and even more patience!  Even then, you end up with a few scratches, a torn box, and a mouthful of expletives!

I was sent this product at no charge in exchange for a review.  All opinions are my own.  I would never endorse a product that I found unsatisfactory.

Because Angel Direct Products vinyl is on a larger core, it unrolls easier and doesn’t curl so bad. Ahhhhh!  Now there’s music to my ears!  Curling vinyl isn’t too bad if you are working on a small project, but when you’re making a large sign, it’s down right aggravating!

Gold Glitter Christmas Bucket - I used loose glitter, and craft vinyl from Angel Direct Products to make this great little project.

How I Decorated this Bucket Using Angel Direct Products Vinyl

During Blitsy’s Black Friday Sleepover Party, the last challenge was to make something gold.  I don’t have much gold, and there was a time limit.  So, I was a little rushed!

I had this decorative gold bucket that I bought last year.  I thought it would look good with some gold glitter trim.

  1.  I used a paint brush to apply a Mod Podge stripe to the bucket.  If there hadn’t been a deadline, I would have taped off the stripe with painters tape, so the edges would be even and crisp.
  2. While the Mod Podge was still wet, I sprinkled it with gold ultra fine glitter.
  3. I used the Cricut Explore to cut the word “joy” out of craft vinyl from Angel Direct Products.
  4. Using application tape, I adhered the “joy” to the bucket.

This was a really quick project, but I love how it turned out!  I’m trying to find a small white Christmas Cactus to put in it.  Watch this video for more crafty information.

As a side note, I LOVE glitter!  It’s a good thing too.  I was wearing black and had gold glitter all over me.  It also made me sneeze and cough, and I had it all over my laptop.  I think it was rather festive.  Nothing like a little sparkle and shine to kick off the Christmas season!
