Valentines Canvas Vinyl Project www.expressionsvinyl.com In this Cricut vinyl project we are using a few small painters canvases from a local craft store. These little canvases are inexpensive and work great for more than just painting. First we want our canvas to be a different color, so well just use some acrylic paint and paint them black. Always wait for the paint to dry well before trying to apply vinyl. Wet paint and vinyl dont work well together. However these canvases are pretty porous and the paint will dry quickly. With the canvas painted we can set up and cut our vinyl to go on them. This particular project is geared towards Valentines day, but the idea can be adapted to any holiday or even just as a general decoration. We have chosen to use the font Arial for all the lettering on this project. We used Arial, Arial Black, and Arial Narrow. It is a simple clean font that is very recognizable. Design your lettering sizes to correspond to the size of your canvas. Programs like Sure Cuts A Lot allow you to set up a group of lettering within a specific size. This is very handy for a project like this, it takes out a lot of the guess work. We have used words associated with valentines day for this project. Things like love, be mine, xs and os, and what not. The heart image that was used is a doodle bat. This particular one is from DB heart flourish that we got from scrapnfonts.com. Once you have your layout ready to go you can cut the vinyl on your Cricut. Remove the <b>...</b>
