In Apr I cosmopolitan to Salt Lake town, Beehive State for the blogging conference SNAP! The conference was created by craft-minded bloggers what do American bloggers do best? we have a tendency to craft for every different. I signed up for a SNAP secret sister. The conference was over three days and with a present for every day and on the third day revealing yourself because of the secret sister. nowadays I'm attending to be sharing with you guys the gift from day 2 that happened to be a notebook that I bespoke with vinyl. This gift was good as a result of the Silhouette Challenge theme for this month's DIY Gifts. therefore confirm to stay around till the tip for sixteen different DIY gifts comes.

So this is often what you would like to know….who was my secret snap sister? it had been Jeana from Felicity Jane. As before long as I saw her website I knew I had to make one thing customized along with her tagline. 

A notebook appeared like a good plan since at these conferences American bloggers take vigorous notes. 

In Silhouette studio I created a straightforward style simply victimization the tagline and a fun font. solely took Maine a pair of minutes to try and do this half. choosing the font may be the toughest half. to chop vinyl I exploit the plan for vinyl. that is the speed of eight, the thickness of nine, and also the blade set at a pair of. 

I used some scrap indoor vinyl in gold that I had bought at Joann’s. currently, with vinyl, I perpetually produce a box around my inscription for weeding. this offers smaller excess vinyl to manage. there's nothing worse than aiming to this stage and you lose management of the surplus vinyl and it winds up projected to your vinyl and you have got to start out from scratch once more. Learned my lesson on it one. 

Using the hook tool still, remove the surplus till you simply have the phrase left on the white backing. 

Using transfer tape (I perpetually prefer to use the gridded tape from silhouette) place it over the vinyl. Rubbing the tape in situ with a MasterCard or hand tool. Peel the transfer tape off the white backing transferring the vinyl with it. 

Using the grid and a measuring tape place the phrase onto the notebook. you'll wish to eyeball this however I perpetually recommend measure. 

Use a MasterCard to rub the vinyl in situ. Next rigorously and slowly pull the transfer tape off. perpetually pullback low and confirm the vinyl is adhering to the notebook. 

I love how this notebook came out and that I suppose Jeana did too! She even announces it on her Instagram. conjointly if you don’t follow Felicity Jane Studios on Instagram you're missing out. She has such a gorgeous feed!
