"Hand-Lettered" Personalisation!

Hello everyone! Marie-Clare here.

I wanted to make my colleagues a gift, so I combined a Design Store design with some text to make personalised decals for wine glasses, which look like their names have been written by a quill.

Here's how!


You will need:

Silhouette Cameo
Vinyl of your choice
Wine glasses
Design ID #4698

Step 1

Type out the names of the people you would like to make a gift for, using a font which resembles calligraphy or handwriting. Select the name, and weld the letters together. I used the grid to keep my sizing similar.



Step 2

Load the feather design into your design space and duplicate it so that you have one for each name.

Step 3

Resize the feather and position it on the last tail of the final letter of the written name. This will make the name appear to have been "written" by the quill!


Step 4

Select the name and the feather, and using the right click menu, Weld them together.



Step 5

Reposition your designs to fit your vinyl roll. Cut using the standard Vinyl settings, weed and apply your vinyl to your wine glass using transfer tape.

Pimp My Car!

Hello, Karen here - several years ago, I used to watch a tv programme called Pimp My Car, where a team of car pimpers would take away a car and completely personalise it.

Well, I am not up to adding all the 'Bells and Whistles' that they did but I am up to using some permanent frosted vinyl to add a little bit of personalisation to my own little car.  I sprayed the area I wanted to add the vinyl to with water, to which I had added a little washing up liquid.  This made it easier to slide the design around to get it into the position I wanted and I also used a rubber spatula to squeeze any air out from under the vinyl.  Tips from my husband who was really against me doing this to my car but loves it now it has been done.  I only made a smallish design as I was worried how well it would turn out but I think it looks fabulous!




I loved the design so much that I added it to a black mug



and then to a clear phone case.



Three beautiful projects from just one design just by resizing it.
