Do Something Every Day that Makes You Happy

Hi everyone! It’s Karin and today I’m going to show you how to place permanent vinyl on a travel mug using this cutting file by Lori Whitlock below.

I made the decal for this travel mug using Cricut’s brand new Premium Outdoor Glossy Vinyl.

After downloading the file from Lori Whitlock’s store, I uploaded the image into Design Space.

I resized the image to 5 inches tall to fit my travel mug.

After resizing, I ungrouped the elements so that I could change the colour of the banner.

I selected the banner, clicked the scissors icon in the Layers panel and then changed the colour of the banner to white.

I pulled the white banner away from the text so that I could attach the text.

I selected all of the text, right clicked and selected Attach. You must do this if you want everything to be cut as displayed on the screen.

When all of this was done, I clicked Go and Design Space arranged my cut files onto mats by colour.

I placed the two colours of vinyl on mats and cut them with my Gold Cricut Explore Air one after another.

This was a really fun project. Lori’s inspirational quote is a great reminder to find time to do fun things (not that I need reminders to craft). Also, Cricut’s new vinyl was great to work with.

See you again in two weeks!
