Boho Rainbow Video Tutorial

Here is some other Ideas!

Here are the steps I took make the my color changing Tumbler

Step 1 – Open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). Size the file elements as need for the project you are making. I used weeding boxes to help me weed my vinyl. Cut your vinyl out. Make sure all your pieces are cut before ejecting from the cutting machine.

NOTE: You can do the leopard or not, the dots on the rainbow can be left off etc. Have fun with it!!

Step 2 – Use the alcohol and cotton pad and clean the surface of your cup. You want all the oils from hands, etc off of the cup. Set aside to dry.

Step 3 – Time to wee your vinyl. Because I was going on a cup my image was small. Somethings I needed to reverse weed. My transfer tape was pretty sticky and did not want to release my vinyl all the way. So there were a few spots where it took me a little longer to weed.

Step 4 – User your transfer tape parchment paper to line up your rainbow. I applied my my black leopard and dots after on the cup. However, I think it would have been way easier to do it before. So starting with the leopard and dots and apply to the rainbow strips. I used the parchment paper to line up my rainbows to make sure they were where I wanted them and attached it to the transfer tape. See video on how I did this.

Step 5 – Let’s apply our vinyl!!! I use one of my extra squeegees with the ridges to hold my cup. I took my transfer tape and applied it to the cup. Then I applied my words and your cup is done!!!

Step 6 – Add ice and your drink and watch the fun color change!

Video Tutorial – Welcome Mat

Wipe Your Paws

Here are the steps I took to make the Welcome Mat

Step 1 – Open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). I kept my size to 12×24 cutting mat.

Step 2 – Prep your mat. Put your freezer paper on the mat wax side down and cut out the design.

Step 3 – Once the design it cut leave it on the mat and weed out the letters. Remember, this is a stencil so you want to take out the areas where you are going to be applying paint.

Step 4 – Next, take your press and seal and your squeegee and apply it to the wax paper. I left it on the roll and use the squeegee to adhere and flatten as I go. Once i had it on I flipped the mat over and removed the mat from the freezer paper/press and seal.

Step 5 – Place the freezer paper\press and seal design on your mat. Position it where you want it to go. I did the paws separately so I placed my design lower on my mat. I then used heat to adhere the freezer paper. I did use a heat press. However, a board under the mat would have helped so that it doesn’t move on you and loosen the freezer paper. Once you have it on the mat where you want it to be. Peel back the press and seal so it will be out of the way of your heat source. I did 315 for a few seconds. Then, move onto the next area. For the centers of your letters you can use push pins or hold while you are painting them. Once everything is pressed down you can move onto painting.

Step 6 – Now take your outdoor acrylic paint and a brush and dab it into the mat. I was not stingy on paint. Make sure you keep your paint close to the area you are working on. I travel and it dropped. So take note…

Step 7 – One you are done painting and with the paint wet pull the freezer paper off. Then i did the paws. I did not heat set them since they were small.

Step 8 – Once your mat is dry i put a spray sealer on it. I had some clear flexiseal and used that.

Step 9 – Place by your entrance way or give as a gift and enjoy!!!!

Welcome Summer Sign Gives Your Porch A Citrus Burst!
Part 2 – This is the reverse side to Hello Spring!

Welcome Summer Sign Gives Your Porch A Citrus Burst! This is part 2 of the reversible porch sign we did earlier. If you missed it i have it linked above for you.

Welcome Summer\Hello Spring is made with a stained common\pine board. Then I used masking vinyl and painted this side. You could also paint this side of your board white or any color of your choosing!! The file is setup for 12″ x 60″. However, size it to the size you need. I ended up with 12″x48″ Have fun with the colors!

This weeks FREE Summer Porch Sign SVG/Cut files can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 38. I have also created a video tutorial along with some quick directions below on how I made this FUN Welcome Summer Sign. I would love to see the color choices you used!

Welcome Summer Sign Supply List
- Cutting Machine and software
- Welcome Summer (click on the link)
- Masking Vinyl – I use Starmask from 143vinyl.com
- Pine\Common Board – Mine was 12″x48″ – I used the reverse side from Hello spring
- Stain color of Choice – only needed if you are going to stain or if you have not done Hello Spring
- Sand paper or sanding block
- Staining rag
- Paint color of choice
- Make-up sponges – get my from the Dollar Tree
- Spray sealer – Seal after you are done painting
- Weeding tools, scissors, cutting knife, transfer tape, etc
Video Tutorial – Let’s make a Summer Porch Sign!

Here are the steps I took to make the Welcome Summer Sign

Step 1 – Prep your board. If you are doing the reverse you should be set to go. However, if you decided you wanted paint vs stain you would do that now.

Step 2 – While everything is drying(if needed). Open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). Size the sign according to the board you will be working with. Use your masking vinyl to cut out your design.

Step 3 – Once your stencil is cut weed your vinyl. Remember you ware weeding the parts you will be painting.

Step 4 – Arrange your pieces on your board. Remember that Summer will be down a little more more since Welcome goes at the top. You can make and apply as may citrus slices as you like!

Step 5 – Now to stencil paint your board. Since I stained my board I need white under the everything. So I did to coats of white and then stenciled my citrus slices in my colors. I found I needed to coats of that as well. Pull your stencils mask and clean up your slices.

Step 6 – Now apply Summer and welcome to the sign and repeat the paint process. Again, i needed white under summer. I used a color shifting paint for Summer. That took 4 coats before i felt I had good coverage. Once you have your last layer applied pull your stencil vinyl. Clean up any edges you might have.

Step 6 – Once your sign is completely dry spay it was a clear sealer of choice.

Step 7 – If you so desired you could add strips around the sign to give it an extra touch.

Let’s Make Lighted Camping Buckets!
With camping and backyard outings upon us lets make some fun lighted camping buckets!! I have 2 fun files for you. One for my camping friends and the other for my backyard friends. The We Sleep Around File has a WE and an I version so you could make a fun shirt or sign too!!! Don’t camp?? Don’t worry, I don’t either! I made a fun Welcome to Our Backyard sign\bucket for you too!!! This is a fun and fast project!!! Let grab our supplies and get going!

Also, until June 1st enjoy 25% off everything in the shop!!!

We Sleep Around – Welcome to our Back yard

Camping Bucket Supply list
- Cutting Machine and software
- We Sleep Around (number 34) (click on the link)
- Welcome to our Backyard (number 35) (click on the link)
- Vinyl colors of your choice
- 5 Gallon Bucket w/lid – I purchased mine from Wal-mart
- Lights pod and batteries – I purchased mine from Amazon
- Parchment Paper
- Weeding tools, scissors, cutting knife, transfer tape, etc
- Rubbing alcohol
- Acetone
- Cotton pads
- Scrapper
Video Tutorial – Camping Buckets

Here are the steps I took to make the Camping Buckets

Step 1 – Lets prep our Buckets! Scrape the stickers off the lid and the bucket. I used a scrapper to get mine off. I found if i could lift a section and then get under I could lift the sticker off and remove. Use the acetone and cotton pad to remove any residual parts. Once that is done use the Alcohol and a pad to clean and prep your surface. Set aside to dry.

Step 1 – Now load your free file into your cutting software and cut it out in your vinyl of choice. For the camper I went vintage colors with turquoise and pink.

Step 3 – Now to weed our vinyl
- Start with weeding vinyl – I find a pin pen helps to remove the small pieces of vinyl from the center of the words. I also like to use weeding boxes too.
- Apply transfer tape for the camper I started with the outline first
- Peel off vinyl backing from the words
- Now use parchment paper and attach it to the back of the camper. Make sure you leave some transfer tape showing to attach it to the next layer. Now use parchment and camper to line it up on the stripe and words. Once you have it where you want. Push down the transfer tape and hinge method to pull the parchment out. Squeegee down your vinyl.
- Pull the vinyl backing from the offset
- Repeat to add the drapes
- Apply your design to your bucket. I use a taco method, where I curved it up and touched the middle of the design to the bucket. Squeegee image down.
- Remove transfer tape. Remember to keep the transfer tape close to your image.
Step 4 – Assemble and add your light. You could use double sided tape or hook and loop if you want your light to stay in one spot.

Step 5 – Play with the fun lights and enjoy!!!

Hello Spring Sign will Make your Porch Blossom!
Part 1 – Hello Spring will be a reversible sign!

Hello Spring Sign will Make your Porch Blossom!! As an added bonus this is going to be part 1! Yes! Part 1. This is going to be a reversible sign. There will be a Welcome Summer side coming soon!!!!

Hello Spring Sign is made with a stained common\pine board. Then I used permanent adhesive on it. The file is setup for 12″ x 60″. However, size it to the size you need. I ended up with 12″x48″ Have fun with the colors!

This weeks FREE SVG/Cut files can be found in the Freebie Library. File number is 30. I have also created a video tutorial along with some quick directions below on how I made this FUN Hello Spring Sign. I would love to see the color choices you used!

Hello Spring Supply List

- Hello Spring Porch Sign (click on the link)
- Permanent Vinyl of your Choice – I use Starcraft from 143vinyl.com
- Pine\Common Board – Mine was 12″x48″

Here are the steps I took to make the Hello Spring Sign

Step 1 – Prep your board. My lovely husband sanded and then stained my board for me. Remember when staining less is more. The more stain you use the longer it takes to dry. Once the board is dry I sprayed a few coat of clear sealer. I normally like 2x by rustoleum, howevere, I was out. I found a clear coat. It was totally fine to use. I just had a few areas that I must have been heavy handed when I sprayed and the vinyl did not want to come off at first. It was not a problem in the end!!!

Step 2 – While everything is drying. Open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). Size the sign according to the board you will be working with. Pick your fun vinyl colors and cut everything out. For the butterflies I used 2 colors, a darker body and lighter wings.

Step 3 – Once your adhesive is cut weed your vinyl. Then apply your transfer tape.

Step 4 – Arrange your pieces on your board. I found that it was easier to put Hello on first. I found the middle of the word and board and placed it. Then it was easier to place the rest. Remember to use the picture to help. I started in the middle and worked my way to the outer edges. I used the parchment paper to help with the centering and placement. Pull the backing off of the adhesive letter. Then place your vinyl and transfer tape on the parchment paper. Leave some of your transfer tape exposed so you can adhere it to the board. You will see in the video how i did that. Once you have it in the place you want it apply the top of the transfer tape. Then slide your parchment paper out. Finish adhering the letter and then carefully remove your transfer tape.

Step 5 – Repeat step 4 until you have everything applied to your board. I did let my board sit in the house for a day before putting it outside to make sure everything was ok.
