Let It Snow Winter wall Hanging

Hello and good morning

It's Wendi here and today I am sharing a fun easy winter wall decor hanging using some Cricut vinyl. Not only is this perfect to hang up during Christmas time, but since it's more of a winter wall hanging it can stay up through January too.

First I got my supplies, the wood piece was from Joann's for 70% off, so it was just over $3.00 which was a steal.

then I grabbed some craft acrylic paints, some glitter paint and foam brushes:

I painted my wood piece and let it dry, once it was dry, I went and cut out my vinyl letters. First I cut them in cardstock to make sure they worked and fit properly, and then I cut them in vinyl.

I used a Cricut Expressions machine to cut my gray vinyl. I set my machine to blade pressure 3, medium pressure and medium speed. I used the "Jubilee Celebrations" font for the words LET IT and the snowflakes at 1 3/4", and then used the "Plantin Schoolbook" for the word SNOW at 2".

I felt like it needed a bit more, so I added some bling to the snowflake vinyl pieces and some misting to the actual snowflake to give it more of a winter feel.

I love how much you can do with vinyl. There are sooo many possibilites...

Thanks so much for stopping by.

DIY Personalized Ornaments

Hello and good morning..

Today I am sharing with you a fun way to dress up your clear glass ornaments with some Cricut vinyl.

 

First I got my supplies- Tinsel from the dollar store, clear glass ornaments from Target, and some American Crafts ribbon.

First, I filled the glass ornaments full of tinsel, about a foot of it:

Next I used my ribbon to use as a hanger for the ornaments and to add some extra color:

Then I got our my Cricut Expressions machine and used some of the Gray Vinyl from Cricut. I decided to make some ornaments with each of the kids first initial and then one for our family name.

I used the Plantin Schoolbook font at size 2". I set my blade at 3 with medium pressure and medium speed. (high speed seemed to cut too quickly and not work as well with the vinyl).

I added each vinyl letter to each of the ornaments and had a quick and personalized ornament for each of the kids.

These are perfect to make as neighbor gifts, teacher gifts, or as a personalized gift for someone.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
