When you peel it up, your cut image will should be stuck to it. Like so:
Then, line it up on your canvas and rub. When you pull the transfer tape up, the vinyl *should* be stuck to the canvas. This proved a bit tricky, as it wanted to come back up with the tape sometimes. I ended up helping it along with my fingernails a bit. LC was my expert rubber…such a helper.
STEP 5: Stick hearts onto the branches wherever you {or your small helper} like!
Ta-da! Simple, quick, cheap, easy…all my favorite things in a craft project! Little Crafter and I had fun making it together and except for the part where he loudly asked me after dinner, “Mommy can we tell Daddy about the tree?,” it was an all-around success.
I’m thrilled with how it turned out! I also got hubby something I know he wanted; a Tervis Tumbler {we’re both addicted to them} that shows off our team pride! Woot!
Little Crafter is getting Angry Birds gummy snacks, a Valentine Ring Pop, a stuffed elephant, and an Angry Birds watch. Shhhhh!
Hope you have a very Happy Valentine’s Day! Love and hugs from the Artsy Family!

I downloaded that shape yesterday and was so tempted to use it, but I didn’t have a vinyl color for the tree part. I need to stock up on a better range of colors! I LOVE how yours turned out!! Very cute!

This is uber cute. I have the WORST time getting vinyl to stick to canvas. Honestly, I have a really hard time getting Silhouette’s vinyl to stick to ANYTHING. I wrote someone one about it and they suggested getting the outdoor heavy duty kind. That does seem to help. Any vinyl I get from PYP or Expressions Vinyl works way better for me. 🙂
