Family is Everything House Shaped Sign
Well, I'm at it again, making more signs. I found this great house-shaped sign blank at Dollar Tree a while back and made a sign with it that turned out so well that I had to go back for more house-shaped signs (seriously, I may have a problem
I found a design that I thought would work well on the sign in my library of free designs that I've acquired over the years from the Silhouette store. I measured the sign and did my best to size the design before cutting. I used standard settings for vinyl but bumped the force up to 11 since this white vinyl from Silhouette is pretty thick.
After the design was cut, I got started with the weeding. I got out my weeding tool and carefully picked out the extra vinyl. I think I should have made this design a bit bigger, if for nothing else than the weeding was a pain in the butt. One of the thin letters was displaced while peeling off the vinyl, and I had to rescue a dot for an I, and the insides of the leaves were pretty annoying, but we made it intact in the end.
After the design was weeded, I cut a piece of transfer tape the size of the design, peeled off its paper backing, and applied it to the decal.
I used the handle of my weeding tool to rub the transfer tape down over the decal so that all of the vinyl would stick when I peeled off the vinyl decal's paper backing.
After the paper backing was removed, I placed the decal onto the sign blank and rubbed it down again.
Then I carefully peeled back the transfer tape to reveal the design. I do think I could have pushed this one just a smidge bigger, but it still turned out cute and works great with this house-shaped sign blank.
