I am still working on making my Kansas house feel like home. The more of my own creations I incorporate the more it becomes home.  This is my inspiration. I actually just started playing around with fonts and colors to get a general idea.  It is so easy to design a simple stencil on the Silhouette! This is a 36x24 inch canvas. I painted the area I want the stencil to cover in gold metallic and let it dry. You can see the stencil tucked under the canvas. Next, I started dropping the colors I wanted to blend along the top.  These are the colors I chose plus black and white in case I needed them.  Vinyl doesn't stick very well to canvas or painted canvas. You can use a spray adhesive to help. I chose to just be careful and brush gently.  This is just a dry brush with strategically dropped paint.  It says "savor" and ties all the colors together on the main floor of the house. Don't forge...

This could be titled "my new toy." I have been wanting one of these cutting machines for a while. I ordered it to come right before school ended so I would be able to play with it the first free day I had.  It comes with a free software that isn't too hard to learn since there are many tutorials online. Thank you, YouTube! This is my first try at a project. I just chose a font and did my name. The pink adhesive backed vinyl on the sticky sheet. It's loaded up and ready to cut.  Here it is "weeded" and ready for the transfer tape. On my cup! SO EASY! I'm hooked. My next project was for essential oil roller bottle labels. Someone on one of my Facebook groups posted pictures of something similar.                                                                   ...
