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!!!

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!

I added some gems and seed beads to the bottom of the wine glass.  I used Beacon 527 glue to adhere the gems.

I added a bow.  This can be one of the bride's wedding colors or just her favorite color.  I should have used green for St. Patrick's Day today!!  

You can also see how the gems shine here!

The vinyl really shines too!  I just love this stuff!!!

Hand washing the glass is recommended!

Dentist Humor Wine Glasses

I made these wine glasses for my sons' dentist.  She is a good friend of ours and takes wonderful care of my boys' teeth!!!  I made enough wine glasses for the staff too (a variety of my most popular designs) and will bring a bottle or two of wine to our next appointment.

I have a lot of fun with my wine glasses!!  I looked up funny dentist sayings on Google and re-created these using my Silhouette Cameo.

St. Pat's Day Wine Glasses

I created a few designs for St. Patrick's Day!  I have several friends who send me ideas and both of these ideas were shared with me!

I have a wine glass that says Kiss My Glass - we just added a bit of Irish to it! 

This image was on a shirt, but I put it on a beer mug (for my girls who prefer green beer). 

I also added this on a wine glass.

Have a happy and safe St. Patrick's Dau!!!

I sell my wine glasses at Twisted Vine in Papillion, NE as well as take personal orders.

Wine Glass Designs

I made a few wine glasses for special orders this weekend - this one was for 50 Shades of Grey! 

Another 50 Shades of Grey!

This one is for a dental hygienist - I thought this saying was cute!! 

And finally this one is for a nurse!

I sell my wine glasses at Twisted Vine in Papillion, NE.  I will also do special orders for friends!  If you want pricing information, please leave me a way to contact you in a comment!

My Birthday Celebration!

This year I wanted to celebrate my Birthday by sharing a blog hop with you that has some of the best crafters I know.

So, be sure to hop through everyone's blog to see all of the amazing projects that they have made to share with you today.

And don't forget to leave everyone a little bloggie love for your chance at winning some blog candy to give to one lucky person.

Not only am I getting presents today but someone else will as well.  

Today's blog candy is the Project Life Theme Kit, Celebrate.

  

Now, are you ready to see some amazing projects...

So, sit back, grab yourself a latte, and hop along with us as we celebrate my birthday.

Happy Birthday Robin!!!  I love this age!!!  This is a wine glass that many of my friends would enjoy!

I designed this using two fonts from my computer and my Silhouette Cameo.  I also made small circles to cut polka dots.  The stemless wine glass is becoming more popular - maybe because it is harder to break!!!

Today I am showcasing some teacher gifts that I made.  Some of these gifts were made for my friend's to give their kid's teachers.

The first gift is an 8x8 tile with vinyl on it. 

I made these books for my friend's twins.  She provided me the photos and I used school themed papers.  I adhered the papers to chipboard and used my Bind-it-All to bind the books.   HERE is a tutorial about making mini books with the Bind-it-All.

I had the twins write their names for me and I put the photo on my Silhouette program and traced it.  I cut it out in vinyl and added it to the inside cover. HERE is a how I got the name in vinyl.

I printed this saying on laminated burlap and framed it.  You can find a tutorial HERE. 

My son's teacher is a runner.  I got her a very nice water bottle from Under Armour.  I put a K on one side.... 

and Runalicious on the other.  Red is her favorite color! 

For the Husker fan, I decorated a wine glass and a water bottle.

Which gift do you like best?
