Vintage Style Christmas Sign Tutorial with Brandie

 

Hi there! Brandie here with a tutorial on how I made this Christmas sign using the Sleigh Rides on Santa Claus Lane file. You can find it here in Loris shop and here in the Silhouette store.

After I got my image uploaded and sized accordingly I cut  out the image on vinyl to create a stencil. While my machine was cutting the images I painted the white layer on my barn wood square.

 

I painted one thin layer of white acrylic paint and did not go all the way to the edge of the wood to help give it an aged look.  While the paint was drying I weeded the vinyl. To create the stencil I removed the inside parts and kept the negative image.
To apply the stencil I cut the image into thirds  and applied to the dry painted wood. I am the queen of eye-balling things and did that here. But transfer tape would help with applying the stencil to the wood.
Once the vinyl was applied to the wood I rubbed everything down with the long flat side of a bone folder being careful not to gouge the wood. I used red acrylic paint and a stencil brush to apply the paint in thin layers.
After I had the color and coverage I wanted I gently pulled the vinyl off the wood.
I then used a hand-held sander and carefully went over the sign.
Here it is all ready to add to my Christmas décor. I love how it turned out and have plans to make another one with a  nativity file next.
Thanks for stopping by!

Holiday Gift Tags with Michelle

Gift giving is my favorite holiday activity. I really enjoy shopping and wrapping and making each gift uniquely special. This is Michelle, and I would like to share some holiday gift tags that I made using using files from the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.

I crafted a set a four different holiday tags and packaged them in their own special box, which I also made with my Silhouette Cameo. The tag set includes an adorable Santa, a Snowman, a Penguin and a Polar Bear that can be purchased individually from the Silhouette Design Store, or you can purchase them all together in a Christmas Tag Bundle at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop.

These are easy to assemble and are so much fun to put together! A touch of felt and glitter really makes the designs “pop.”

Using papers from the Echo Park “A Perfect Winter” Collection, I made a sweet little box to house the tags. These are perfect for gift giving, but I’ve decided to keep these cuties for myself! When the tags have been used, I will use the box to hold to store ornaments until next year. The box is actually a Candy Box with removable insert compartments that have a sweet scalloped edge. The Candy Box and can be found in the Silhouette Design Store along with the Compartment Inserts, or, you can purchase the Candy Box at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop. I enlarged the Box a little bit to house the tags. To do this, simply group all of the pieces together before enlarging. The lid has a clear acetate insert so I can see how many tags I have left.

I hope that you’ve enjoyed my Holiday Tag Set.

Happy Crafting!
