Glitter Vinyl Frame

Hello - today I am featured at The Buckle Boutique BLOG. I have been using a lot of Glitzy Glitter Vinyl lately and I have to say I just love it!! It is very smooth - the glitter is really pressed into the vinyl. I wanted to do something a little bit different today so I decided to stick the vinyl on a wood frame.

I took a frame from Michaels for $1 and some purple glitter vinyl.

I traced the frame on the back of the vinyl and cut it out.

Looks good!

I peeled the backing off and slowly stuck the vinyl down on the frame. I had to peel it off once (or twice) to get it just right - but no worries it did not crease or bend and was still super sticky!!

I found a pretty picture (from our last Disney trip) that matched the frame. I ran ribbon behind the photo and over the edges and used a beautiful heart ribbon slide.

I can easily change the photo and ribbon in the future.

This frame now looks very fancy and sparkly!!!

Mickey Water Bottle

Hello and welcome to The Original Disney Pixar Blog Hop!!! You should have arrived from Nancy's BLOG. If you found me first, hop on over to Shawn's BLOG so you don't miss a thing!! This is one of my very favorite blog hops - I hope you enjoy it too!!

I am sad to say we are not planning a trip to Disney World this year. Last year, we went to Disneyland and Disney World - so maybe next year!!!!

Personalized water bottles are all the rage right now so I thought I would get mine ready!!

I started with a double wall water bottle from Wal-Mart. You can unscrew the top of the widest part to add ice - love this feature!!

I used some Glitzy Glitter Vinyl from The Buckle Boutique. This vinyl is super glittery and the glitter is pressed into the vinyl. It is smooth and sparkly!!!

When cutting on my Silhouette Cameo, I use the Vinyl Setting but add a double cut.

You can really see the shine here as it is cutting!

I use my "dental tool" to pick up a corner and weed the extra pieces away.

I put an "L" inside a Mickey Head and used a font from my computer for "My Happy Place" for my water bottle.

I have found the best transfer tape to use is painter's tape. The only drawback is you can not always see your design.

Here is the Mickey head after I lifted it off the vinyl backing. It is silver shiny on the back which is pretty when you have a clear glass container!!

I burnished it onto my water bottle. I first wiped it with rubbing alcohol and let it air dry.

I tied a bow on top for fun - I will take it off when I drink out of the cup!

And the back!

As with any vinyl designed cups and glasses - make sure you hand wash between uses!

Bride and Groom Toasting Glasses

It is wedding season! I love decorating wine glasses with vinyl but I wanted to make a set of toasting glasses for a special couple.

I found a Bride and Groom design from the Silhouette store and cut it out in Gold Glitzy Glitter Vinyl from the Buckle Boutique.

I use the Vinyl setting on my Silhouette program but I add a double cut. You can cut the vinyl glitter side up - the glitter is embedded into the vinyl and is really smooth!

Once the vinyl is cut, you need to weed away the extra pieces.

I use a dental tool to "poke and pull" away the extra vinyl pieces. It is harder to see the cut lines so I use my Ott Light and I go slow!

This cut is thin in places so I went really slow and trimmed away the extra pieces when I could.

The best transfer material is painter's tape. The only problem is it is not transparent. If you are cutting a thick design, you can peel up a corner and carefully apply without using transfer tape if you like.

I use a Pampered Chef scraper to burnish the vinyl onto the tape and slowly peel the tape up.

I cleaned the glass with rubbing alcohol and let it air dry. I placed the vinyl on the glass and burnished it again. I slowly peeled the tape off.

I added a bow - you could also add tulle if you like.

Thank you for stopping by today - have a Blingy Day!!!

Bling and Lace on a Glass Jar

May is the season for Weddings and Graduations and right now glass jars are everywhere in table decorations!! Whether you buy a case of Mason Jars or recycle your own, you can make them sparkle with Glitzy Glitter Vinyl from The Buckle Boutique!!

I took a pizza sauce jar and removed the label. I soaked the label in hot, soapy water until it peeled off. I then used rubbing alcohol to get the sticky residue off.

Last month I used the 21 from this cut (Tutorial Here) and today I am using the L.

I used painters tape to transfer the L to the front of the jar. I tied some lace to the top and added pearls inside. You could easily substitute tulle, jute or ribbon around the top depending on the look you want. Glass marbles or decorative rocks could be substituted for the pearls. A battery tea light or water and a flower could finish the look if you so desired!

Finally 21 Wine Bling!

Turning 21 is a much bigger (and blingier) deal now than it was when I turned 21 a few years ago. I have decorated wine glasses as well as shot book scrapbook pages for friends much younger than me! This wine glass is just perfect for the blingy girl on her big night!!!

I created this file using fonts on my computer and my Silhouette Studio. I cut out the finally in black 651 vinyl. The 21 is Glitzy Glitter Vinyl from The Buckle Boutique that could be found HERE. The glitter is embedded into the vinyl and does not rub off! It is very sparkly too!!

When cutting glitter vinyl on the Cameo, I use the Vinyl setting and add a double cut. I cut several designs at once - the others you just may see later!!

Weeding is easy once you get a corner pulled up - I use my Cricut Dental Tool to poke the corner and pull it up.

Regular transfer tape and contact paper does not stick well to the glitter, so I use painter's tape instead.

I place it where I want it on the glass, burnish it with a scraper and slowly peel the tape off.

The result is just beautiful!! I always recommend hand washing my vinyl glasses!

Thanks and have a Blingy Day!!!

Cheers!!

Today I am featured at The Buckle Boutique BLOG! I make a lot of wine glasses and am very lucky to be able to sell them at a local Sip and Paint Shop called Twisted Vine Collective (http://twistedvinecollective.com/). Lately I have been playing with glitter vinyl from The Buckle Boutique! It is a little thicker to cut, but more delicate to work with. The glitter is just beautiful on the glass - hard to capture in a photo!!

I designed my word Cheers on my computer and cut out the glitter vinyl using the Vinyl Setting but adding a double cut.

The negative piece just pulls away super easy.

I used my dental tool to weed out the inside pieces.

Regular transfer tape does not stick well to the glitter vinyl, so I use painter's tape. I burnish it on with a scraper.

I use my spatula tool to gently start the vinyl - encourage it to come off the backing if you will.

I clean my glass surface with rubbing alcohol and let it dry. Then position the word where I want it and burnish it again. Slowly peel the tape away.

And I am now ready to celebrate!!!

With all of my vinyl decorated wine glasses, I recommend hand washing!

Have a Blingy Day!!

I Do! Wine Glass

Today I am featured at The Buckle Boutique! I am using some of the Glitzy Glitter Vinyl to decorate a wine glass. I love this glitter vinyl - the glitter is embedded into the vinyl so it is smooth and easy to cut! It is very sparkly!

I designed my "I DO" and welded a diamond to the "O" using my Silhouette Studio. I used the Vinyl setting (and added a double cut) to cut out my design with silver glitter vinyl.

I pulled up the negative piece really easily!

I used my dental tool to weed out the extra pieces.

The last time I used glitter vinyl, I tried my usual transfer tape but the tape did not stick to the vinyl, I ended up not using any transfer tape at all. That is ok if you have one shape or image, but I love using transfer tape to keep my letters in place. This time I used painter's tape and it worked like a charm!
