DIY Fall Dishes with Expressions Vinyl

November 1, 2017 by Pam Larmore Leave a Comment

I’m so in love with fall this year.  I’m a spring-summer person, and I usually dread fall and the cooler weather.  However, this year, I’m going to enjoy it along with the mums, pumpkins, and autumn colors and decorations.  Expressions Vinyl has adhesive vinyl in beautiful fall colors perfect for making decor this time of year.

I already made some fall decorations using my Cricut Maker, like these Halloween Pumpkins and this set of beautiful Kitchen Towels.

I thought a pretty set of Fall Dishes would be pretty sitting on the china cabinet during November after the Halloween decorations are put away.

This is the sweetest Baby Halloween Shirt ever.  When I saw it in the Cricut Projects in Design Studio, I knew I HAD to make one.

My kids are older, and I don’t think my 10 year old grandson would like this shirt.  However, I was determined to find a sweet little girl would totally rock it!

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!

Halloween Mason Jars Using Expressions Vinyl

October 6, 2015 by Pam Larmore 6 Comments

We made these fun Halloween Mason Jars using clear jars.  They were very easy to make.  Once you learn how to use the vinyl with your Cricut, you’ll want to make lots of Cricut vinyl projects!  Some were mason canning jars, and some were empty pickle and mayonnaise jars.

At a recent crafting weekend, I taught the ladies how to use vinyl with their Cricut Machines.  Everyone knew that the Cricut would cut vinyl, and some of the ladies had even bought some, but they hadn’t tried it.

Halloween Mason Jars decorated using Cricut Vinyl - These can be luminaries, decorations, or for holding Halloween Candy at a party.

Supplies Needed to Make Halloween Mason Jars

  •  Glass Jar – You can use a Mason canning jar, used mayonnaise or pickle jar, or a clear jar from the dollar store.  Smooth sided jars work best, but you can also use a jar with a design on the side like a Mason jar. Any size jar will work. A gallon jar would be really cool to put on your porch for Halloween, and baby food jars would be great table decorations for a Costume Party.
