Let’s get started with the ideas!!

I started with my Gypsy and Word Collage Cartridge.  I sized the 4th of July subway art to 7" x 9".

I cut it out in blue vinyl and again in red vinyl.  When cutting with vinyl, I set my cricut to 3-3-3 (Speed, Pressure and Blade Depth).  I use my dental tool to weed out the extra pieces.

I wanted to alternate colors so I use my paper cutter to trim the subway art words into strips.

I put them back on my mat alternating red and blue strips.

I used tape to secure the strips down just in case!!

I used my transfer paper to pick up the words and numbers.

I put them on an 8x10 flat canvas.  I burnished the vinyl and peeled the transfer tape off.

I ended up with two of them, one for me and one for a friend!

I was so excited that my idea worked!!

Here is my Patriotic Word Collage Project!

I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July!
