Use Glossy Vinyl as Dry Erase Vinyl

I bought a roll of the inexpensive dry erase vinyl at Michael's.  I had been looking for dry erase vinyl and the price was certainly right.  However, I didn't like the way it cut, it weeded terrible, and it was very thin and see-through.  But I am so glad I bought it!!  As I was working with it, it occurred to me that about any high gloss vinyl will work as dry erase vinyl.  The only caveat is most high gloss vinyl has a permanent adhesive on the back that should not be directly applied to a wall.  I used indoor vinyl to layer my outdoor vinyl on top of to make a dry erase board for my daughter's room.  The best part is I can have any color I want!!  Here are some pics.



The glue is drying on a matching vinyl strip that we attached a couple magnets to hang the magnetic dry erase markers.  She loves it!! Thanks for looking!!

Bags

Here are a couple reusabe bags I vinyled recently.  The dark on says "Inside me is a thin person trying to get out.  I keep her sedated with chocolate."  Fonts are Jester and Aquarelle.  The lighter one says "Forget Love, I'd rather fall in chocolate anyday."  Fonts are Art Brush and Aquarelle.  Thanks for looking.

Top O'da Mornin' To Ya!

Here is a cute little guy to get you in the mood for St. Patty's Day.  Just a few weeks until we all have a little Irish in us!!  He cuts and weeds great.  Find the SVG here.

NOTE REGARDING GOOGLE DOCS:
I think they have changed google docs around a bit.  Now when you click on the link above, it will open in a preview window.  Just above the preview and to the left is a file menu.  Pull down the file menu and select "download original."  It will bring up your save window and you are in business.  Not sure if it is a change to google docs or the way I posted this one.  Guess I'll figure that out soon enough!  Thanks!!

Our Little Angel!!


We picked up this shirt with the angel wings already on in the dollar aisle at Target for $1.  We used heat tranfer vinyl and the font AR Decode (see this post) to make sure the world knew he was Macy's little angel!!  (Macy is my daughter!)  AR Decode cut and weeded like a dream.  I highly recomend it for your vinyl projects!! 
Here he is sporting his new duds.  His name is Marley and he is a cavachon.  (Cavilier King Charles Spaniel /Bichon cross).  Thanks for looking.

A New Favorite Font

Someone over on the Smart Buy gal forum was talking about a font, AR Decode.  I never heard of it, but someone posted a link to download it, here it is.  It is a beautiful font, and it looks like it'll cut great.  I haven't cut it yet, but if you do, let me know how it cuts.
