For my project this week I used some of the vinyl I had left over from Vinyl University to create this for a friend. She is having a big birthday this year and I have been giving her something (present, email, etc) to celebrate the last _9 days before the big day. Her birthday is the day after Christmas so some of the items are Christmas themed.

I picked up the cup at the dollar store. It will have to be hand washed, but that's ok. I cut the ornament above at 3 1/2 inches. The only downside was that the red layer didn't cut to exactly match the bottom so I had to put each stripe on individually. It may cut that way all the time, or it may be because I have the "paper saver" feature on on my Cricut. Either way it was a bit of a pain but it turned out pretty well. (The red shows up better in person than it does in the picture.)

This ornament was cut at 2 3/4" from the same cartridge.

There are 3 snowflakes on the cup that were cut at 1 1/2". All of the vinyl came from Cricket Vinyl Supplies. Go check them out if you are interested in working with vinyl.

I know it's a crazy time of year but please join us this week. It is a great opportunity to create a new decoration or gift for someone!
