NEW to me! - Vinyl!

Hi everyone, I am so VERY excited, I asked for some vinyl for Christmas, thinking I didn't want to waste MY money (in case I didn't like it LOL) and do I like it? I LOVE it. My first project was a wall decal for my Son's room, he wanted an affirmation, so I made "Believe in Yourself" which is placed over his computer. I also had pens and a new mat, more of the pens in a later post!

Then I HAD to do something else, so I got a sentiment and the flower image from Create with TLC and instead of printing it out, I placed it in on my Cameo screen and sent it to cut out from the vinyl, I was thrilled to see that it had cut so finely, then transferred it to my Cameo, as I WOULD be bored without my crafting. What do you think?

Kudos to your skills AND your bravery with the vinyl! I've never tried vinyl (as I'm a poor cameo user...it's gathering dust). Love that your 1st effort was this inspiration for your son too. Good for you at forging ahead to make some more sentiments. I have a stencil class on Jan 23, so I hope the teacher can show me how to cut some stencils. (Yeah, like I use them a lot! LOL). Hope 2017 starts off happily & all things work to make you happy. Big hugs & TFS - your vinyl skills will soon match your PS! Awesome.

Wow, Faith, you got a wonderful machine there. I have seen it working and it can do fabulous things! I have looked at it, but I am not sure if I can operate it well enough. Will continue seeing your adventures with it and let me know how you do. For now i love the cutting of the sentiment!

This is such a coincidence Faith cause I decorated my Cameo over Christmas, I'll post a photo on my blog so you can see. I love working with vinyl and even use it for my card making, it works really well with acetate. I love the the sentiment you used, most appropriate !!

It looks fabulous! ... and I thank you for the inspiration. I've still got my two year old Silhouette in the box! I need to get it out and learn how to work it!

It's beautiful! Welcome to vinyl. Next, you will have to try heat vinyl for shirts. It does great. I even put it on my laptop computer carrier.
