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.

I designed this card using my Gypsy & then cut it all out at once. It can be created without the gypsy but you will have to use different flowers on the card. The card & Envelope were 4 ½” they were cut with Stretch Your Imagination Cartridge. It was the last button. The Envelope is the Silhouette function. The square layer was also cut at 4 ½”. From Making the Grade Cartridge cut Friends forever and the flower at 2”. With Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge (only on the Gypsy) cut the flower (the 6th button) and shift flower at 3 ¼”.

To assemble: Fold the card in half. Distress the edges of the square layer with Rouge Cats Eye Calk Ink. Adhere, the square layer to the front of the card with your favorite tape adhesive. Put the brad through the flower & attach to the Friends Forever. Adhere, the tall flower, with Zig 2 way glue pen, to the square layer. Adhere, the Friends Forever to the square layer with the glue pen also. Decorate the petals of the flowers with Stickles Glitter. Set the card aside to dry for a good hour. Fold the envelope on all the score marks. Glue with Zig 2 way glue pen. Also glue flower on the front of the envelope.
