Subway Art Christmas

I made this subway art from Teresa Collins Christmas Collage (CCR Exclusive), vinyl and a 12x12 frame.

I put the subway art on my gypsy mat and sized it to 11.50 x 11.49 inches.  The best part is - Teresa did all the work lining up the fonts, words, etc.!!

I cut it out with red vinyl.

When I use vinyl, I set my cricut to 3-3-3 (Speed, Pressure and Blade Depth) to cut a nice kiss cut.  I use my Cricut dental tool to weed away the extra vinyl.


I use cricut transfer tape (cut to 12x12) to peel off the vinyl and adhere to the glass.  I take my cricut scraper to burnish the vinyl onto the transfer tape.

I carefully placed the transfer tape on the glass and burnished the vinyl on it.  Then I slowly peeled off the transfer tape.

I took the backing off the frame and used my glue gun to adhere the glass to the frame.
I could not get a good photo with the frame hanging on my wall due to the shadowing.  It looks good with the wall color showing through (better than my white sheet anyway)!!  

This is a fun gift idea or home decor for yourself!
