Autumn Wall Vinyl

I made this Vinyl Wall Art for our living room wall above our couch. We have such a long wall and I don't know what type of pictures to put there so I make Holiday Vinyls for it. See the Christmas one I made last year by clicking HERE. 

I designed it on my Gypsy using the following Cricut Cartridges.

Create A Critter

Leaves - Shift Layer 2 - Button #28 - Cut at 6"

Gypsy Wanderings

Autumn - Button #27 - Cut at 8"

Straight From the Nest  

Leaves - Button #29 - Cut at 9"

Stretch Your Imagination  

Leaves - Button #17- Cut at 2.84"

I cut the vinyl on a 12"x24" Mat

I used a "Kiss Cut" which means it will cut the vinyl but not the backing.

Blade depth - 3

Speed - 3

Pressure - 3

It is also important to have a sharp blade to cut the vinyl clean.

I also flipped some of the images on my Gypsy so that the leaves would mirror each other and curve around the word Autumn.

All of the vinyl I used on this project was purchased from Expressions Vinyl. They have great prices, great quality, and quick shipping.

I also really like Provo Crafts Vinyl. It can be purchased at local Craft Retailers or Cricut.com

If you have any questions about cutting vinyl, let me know. Its actually quite addicting once you get started. I want to vinyl all over my house now.

Autumn Card

Autumn Card

Since today was "World Card Making Day" I wanted to try make at least one card. We were gone most the day so I just got started once my girls went to bed. This card came together quickly and was alot of fun. I am not really into Halloween but I love Fall, however, I don't think I have ever made a Fall card. I normally focus on Christmas or other occasion cards. So here is what I came up with. I will probably turn it into a birthday card for my mom because it is this month.

This card was made completely from Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut Cartridge. The pumpkin was cut twice at 3". On the green layer I hid some of the face cuts on my Gypsy. The tree was cut at 3" also. Autumn was cut at 1". I inked everything with a dark brown Color Box Cat's Eye ink pad. It even made some shading on the tree. I enhanced some of the details with a brown glitter pen. I know the leaves are a little big for the size of tree I have but I really like them & I haven't used them on anything yet. I got the leaves from one of the craft stores a long time ago. But there are so many leaves found on different cartridges. Search "Leaf". I popped up the leaves and pumpkin to give it added dimension.
