Before and After Vinyl Project

2012-02-18T09:43:00.003-07:00

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic day! I wanted to share a super duper easy gift idea for you all.

I don't know about you, I have the hardest time trying to pick out a "manly" gift. I usually give out gift cards. Sometimes I don't have time or the budget to go grab a gift card.

I am also obsessed with the dollar store. You can find some really fun things in there! I was in the dollar store a few weeks ago and found some of these metal water bottles. I thought I could dress them up with vinyl and they would make a perfect gift!

My dads birthday is coming up soon and I fell in love with this hunting vinyl rub-on set. He is a major hunter and I know he will love it:)

Isn't this a fun and easy gift idea?
This would make a fabulous party favor gift too!
Check out all the other vinyl rub-ons that would
go perfectly with a project like this:)

See you all next week with another fun vinyl project!

Be sure to stop by the EAD Designs shoppe and check out

Sending Bug Hugs Valentine Card

2012-02-14T10:09:00.002-07:00

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a great Monday!

For today's project I wanted to show you a really fun and

easy Valentine card to make.

I didn't even use my cricut on this project! I decided to

use a heart punch that I haven't used in YEARS! I

totally forgot how much fun they are to use and how

stinkin' quick I can create a card! Pairing the punches

with twine is the best! So easy to work with :)

Hope you all have a fantastic Valentines day!

See you next time ;)

Recipe:

Paper- Prima, Kraft
Heart Punch

Stamp: My Pink Stamper (More Fabulous Phrases)

Valentines Vinyl Decor Project

2012-02-12T10:25:00.002-07:00

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic day! I wanted to share one more fun Valentine project with you before next week (how crazy is it that Valentines Day is already next week?)

I thought it would be fun to create something that can be used as a centerpiece or display for a Valentine dinner with your sweetheart and family.

I found this adorable Valentine decal from EAD Designs that would go perfectly with a charger plate that I purchased from Hobby Lobby.

How fun did this turn out?!

Wouldn't this look so cute on your table for Valentine's Day?

I just CHERISH it ;)

See you next week with another fun vinyl project!

Be sure to check out the EAD Designs store, there is always new items being added!

Love Vinyl Decor Block

2012-02-04T09:39:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all having a fabulous Saturday! I am excited to share a fun Valentine's decor idea with you today. We are currently building a new home and we have lots and lots of extra pieces of wood. You will be seeing a bunch of wood crafts over the next several weeks :)

Anyways, I picked out a block of wood and had my hubby teach me how to use his new saw. I got a little carried away and cut tons of pieces for future projects.

I sanded the edges of the block and painted it black.

I then sanded the painted edges for a more worn look. After that I added one of my favorite vinyl decals from EAD Designs.

*Check it out here*

It turned out darling! I love it!

Check out all the cute Valentine's decals and others here!

See you next Saturday with another fun vinyl craft.

2012-01-21T07:05:00.003-07:00

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a fabulous day. I wanted to share a fun idea with a new product that EAD Designs now offers. NAIL DECALS!!!!! Yes, you heard me right, they now offer cute vinyl decals to decorate your nails. I was so excited as soon as I heard about this new product, I had to pick some up.
I have a little sister that loves having her nails painted so a few days ago I surprised her with a fun manicure. We painted her finger nails and waited until they were completely dry.

Then we added some heart decals and topped it off with a clear coat of polish.
These would be great for Valentines day:)

Before and After- Valentines Project

2012-01-15T13:14:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic day! I got a few emails from lasts weeks project (Snowflake Plate) that I would like to answer.

Can you use a plate that has vinyl to put treats on and how do you wash it?
*Yes, you can put treats and other goodies on a plate decorated with vinyl. When washing, use warm (not too hot) water and DO NOT put in the dishwasher.

What can I do to take a vinyl decal off a plate that has already been applied?
*The easiest and fastest way to take off vinyl off an object is to heat it with a blow dryer until the edges start to curl up.

I also got an email wanting me to show a Valentine decorated plate and here it is:

Don't you just LOVE it? I sure do! Can't wait to display it with all my other valentine decorations.

Be sure to check out EAD DESIGNS for tons and tons of adorable Valentine decals!

Vinyl Snowflake Plate

2012-01-07T10:39:00.003-07:00

Hi Everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic Saturday. I wanted to share a fun project that I made in December and didn't post (It was a CRAZY month).
I like to have a holiday themed plate on my kitchen counter. I had a cute snowflake one last Christmas but it broke :( I decided to make my own.
I still wanted to stick with a snowflake theme, so I pulled out my Cricut cutting machine and some vinyl sheets from EAD DESIGNS.

After a few minutes I decorated a plain plate into something extra cute! Now I need to make a plate for Valentines Day:) I just am having a hard time trying to decide what cute Valentine vinyl decal to get from EAD DESIGNS because they are all too stinkin' cute!

If you need some vinyl sheets for your Cricut machine, check these ones out:

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all having a fabulous Saturday. I hope that everyone got a tummy full of yummy turkey this week. I also hope you got some good deals during black Friday. If you are like me, I celebrated black Friday in my PJ's sitting in front of the computer browsing websites to pick up a few must haves. That way I don't have to fight the crazy crowds.

This year I decided to make Christmas extra special. Instead of giving store bought gifts, I am going to make everything handmade. I LOVE getting a handmade gift. I was browsing the EAD Designs website the other day looking for some special things that I can use for everyone on my Christmas list. There were so many cute and fun things that anyone would love. It was such a hard decision on what to get. After a few minutes of narrowing down my selection, I decided I need to make me a little something too.

I found a really pretty vinyl decal that is personalized for a wedding day. I picked it up because I have nothing in my house like this and so my hubby will always remember our anniversary. ;)

I decided to stick the vinyl decal in a frame setting. I stuck the vinyl on the glass, that way I can change out the background paper when I want a little something different.

This would make an AWESOME wedding gift too! Any couple will surely treasure it forever.

Be sure to check out the fun things in the EAD Designs store, there are some GREAT Christmas gifts for everyone on your list.

Here is the product I used:

My most asked Question

2011-11-19T11:41:00.002-07:00

Hi everyone! I hope you are all having a fabulous
Saturday. For todays project I wanted to make something
fun while answering one of my most asked questions.

I always get the question:
*Where is the best place to get vinyl for your Cricut Machine?

Answer:
*I have used a lot of different brands of vinyl in my machine
and I have to be honest and say that the vinyl I purchase at
EAD DESIGNS works best.

Why I love EAD DESIGNS Vinyl you ask?
*Extremly High Quailty Vinyl
*Doesn't Peel
*Cuts like butter in the Cricut Machine
*Free Transfer Tape with vinyl
*Tons of Colors/designs to Choose from
*Fast Shipping
*Familty owned business

I could go on an on....
You just need to go try it out
for yourself!

Here is a few project that I made using the
vinyl sheet from EAD DESIGNS

I love making banners for all the Holidays and Special
Occassions. When I make a banner I want it to last for
years. I have tried just using paper letters and gluing them
down. Over time the glue starts to come apart and the letters
fall off. I have used other brands of vinyl and it is okay for a
while but eventually it start peeling off. I can say that I have
never had a problem with the vinyl sheets from
EAD DESIGNS.

Be sure to go check out all the vinyl sheet for your Cricut
Machine here:

Trust me... Once you use this vinyl,
you can never go back :)

My Two Loves- Vinyl and Paper

2011-11-11T13:53:00.002-07:00

Happy Friday Everyone! I hope you are all
having a FABULOUS day! I am super
excited to share a couple of projects with
you!

When most people think of vinyl, they
think of putting it on walls, wood, glass,
and windows. Have you ever thought
of putting it on paper?

You can create an endless amount of
home decor items by using my two
favorite things- paper and vinyl!

I love to use vinyl on my scrapbooking
layouts because over time the adhesive
you use on your titles seems to wear
and not keep your layout in place.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE using vinyl
when I make titles on my pages. The
vinyl is going to stay put FOREVER!

Here is a few projects I did this week
using vinyl and paper. I am starting to
get in the Christmas spirit!

I have ordered a lot of vinyl in my day and the best
vinyl and the highest quality is found at EAD Designs.

You can buy the cutest vinyl decals or
buy plain sheets and create something
yourself:)

I am going to warn you...
I am not a extremly organzied crafter.
Everything in my room has its place, it
just never gets there ;)

98% of the time my Craftroom looks like this....
Kinda embarrassing, I know.

I am super excited for this hop because it
actually made me CLEAN and semi-organize
my room. I will also have to do another video in
a few month when we move. I can't wait to have
a bigger craftroom! Mine right now is tiny.

Here is a video of my room:

My HONEST thoughts on the Cricut Imagine

2011-11-02T23:06:00.002-06:00

Today I wanted to share a little bit about
my Cricut Imagine. I purchased this machine
a couple months ago. I was so super excited
when the UPS man knocked on my door. I
had been clearing out a special area in my craft
room just for the Cricut Imagine.
I hurried and set it all up, did the update and was
all ready to start playing and....
it would NOT work.... I tried 100's of times
with no luck. I finally gave up and called the
cricut support line. They were so awesome,
they had me try lots of things but still nothing
worked. I sent my machine to have them
get it fixed and a few days later a new one
arrived. I was so excited because this one
WORKED! I started to play around with it
and I thought it was okay... the colors weren't
bright and bold like the projects I have seen
using this machine. It seems like the colors
were dull and sometimes not the same as
pictured in the cartridge handbook. I got a
new cartridge in the mail this week and was
so excited to try it out when I got home. I
started to print some images and I was very
disappointed... I decided to change the black
ink cartridge (I had only used the Cricut
Imagine only 4 times) I didn't think I needed
to change it. It made all the difference. As
you can see in the picture the new prints are
bright, bold and perfect.

Here is a super quick project that I made with
the Cricut Imagine:

Recipe:

Cricut Imagine Machine
Cricut Imagine Cartridge- Buccaneer
Glossy Accents
String and Button
Stamp- My Pink Stamper (Everyday Life)

TOP 10 REASONS I LOVE MY CRICUT IMAGINE
I can make a project super quick!

It requires as much or as little layering that you want to do!
I can change the colors/patterns in the images!
It prints patterned paper!
I can use my Gypsy with it!
I can use regular Cricut Cartridges with the machine!
I can use RGB codes and match paper I already have!
There are SUPER cute Cricut Imagine Cartridges!
It's a product from Provo Craft!
EXCELLENT Customer Service!
It makes my crafting 100% easier

A Spooky Pumpkin Full of Guts

2011-10-08T09:40:00.004-06:00

Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a FANTASTIC
October Saturday. We are just trying to stay warm here in
Utah... youwould think Christmas was just around the corner
with all the snow on the ground. Anyways, I still have a few
Halloween projects to share with you before I start the fun
Christmas ones.

My favorite thing ever this time of year is PUMPKINS! I
love love love love PUMPKINS! I am really not a huge
fan of carving pumpkins because it gets so cold here and they
don't last very long at all. I like my pumpkins to last until
Thanksgiving.

So I was browsing that fabulous EAD Designs Website and
I found this darling vinyl pumpkin face! YAY now my pumpkin
will last forever!

http://stencilwords.com/ocart/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=pumpkin&category_id=0&product_id=2495
I made sure my pumpkin was clean and dry before I
added my vinyl. It turned out FANTASTIC! I Love it:)

Before and After- Home Decor

2011-10-04T11:33:00.000-06:00

Hi Everyone! It's Kassidy here. Today I have a
fun project using some fabulous vinyl from EAD
Designs. I love to find new things to put vinyl on...
I love all the possibilities you have for decorating
your home with vinyl. I have decorated: Walls,
Picture Frames, Jars, Wood and much more. I
Have never decorated an ENTIRE mirror with
vinyl until now.

I found this 10 1/2 inch frame at a home decor
store. I thought it was kinda plain and boring just
to be put on the wall. So I did some custom work.
And turned this...

into this!

Check out the EAD Design Website to get this
adorable vinyl decal and tons more!

Guest Designer for CraftJunkieTooo

2011-10-03T21:03:00.002-06:00

Hi Everyone!

I am so excited to be a guest designer over here at

Craft Junkie Too! I just love Miss Tracy, she is such

a sweetheart. Anyways, I wanted to share a fun and

easy project with you for Halloween.

All you need is:

Cricut Font Cartridge (Happy Hauntings)
Mini Monograms Cricut Cartridge
Paper
Adhesive (Sticky Thumb)-best ever!
White Gel Pen
Twine or Ribbon
Cropadile

To make this banner I cut the letters and

squares out with my Cricut. I assembled

them together and used my cropadile to

punch the holes so I could add my twine.

I added a little detailing with my white

gel pen. This banner is super duper easy

to put together. It took me only 30 mins

from start to finish. Thank you so much

Tracy for letting me be a guest designer.

I had a blast!

Have a SPOOKY day!
