Challenge Thirty-Three: Glitter Christmas Ornaments by CaseysAngel
Those are wonderful. I am thinking of doing some for my grandchildren and was wondering what font you used. It's so hard to find a font that will cut well with vinyl. Once again...great job!
Thanks Bryan, will post it........here you go........
HELLLLLLP Please... I am new to MTC an for the life of me I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong but when I open the boxes that are in the first post the openeings overlap an I end up with a bunch of messed up cuts and no box. When I open the file posted by K_lee there is nothing on the page but the tab has the file name on it. I am going crazy (crazier than usual) trting t figure this out.
Hi Kristy. I just checked the posted files. There are multiple pieces, so they have added them as layers. Off to the right of the screen, you should see the separate layers. You open/close the eyes as needed to print the different parts. Often, people lock the layers as well, and it is in this area that you can unlock them.
Hi Kristy, mine was in 3.0 version, just redone in 2.32 will post it........the green is the whole box and the red is the holder for the bulb, one for top and one for the bottom.......hope this helps you.......this one is for the smaller bulbs also, 1 3/4 inch size
Here are mine! I actually am doing several of the DKG ornaments. That is an organization for women educators. I am president of our local chapter and need these for some door prizes. The lettering is our new logo. I didn't have the extra fine glitter, so ground some in an old coffee grinder. It didn't work as well as the fine (blue) but it is still a pretty effect.
Okay...thinking this weekend I will have a chance to try these out...now that I'm all excited about vinyl! Yay! So, silly question for the day....what size ornaments do I buy to match which size of box templates? sorry if this has been discussed and I missed it! I'd love to print out boxes from 12x12 paper as I recently bought a Christmas stack with glitter paper Not sure what size ornaments that requires. Thanks for any tips/suggestions!
I am sorry, I have a question. I clicked on the 4th posted box - it is all on top of each other, how do I get it to separate? I tried to select all, but it didn't do anything. Can you tell I so need to practice with this software? Thanks for the help. Sandy
Hi how can I get my fonts to be upper and lower and not the same size as the capital letter? it does this even when using script
You want to use the button above your font to "add a group of characters" (either the "Ti" or the ABC with Pencil box)...click that, type in what you want and hit 'enter'. That will bring your text in sized properly to each other and not all independently sized to your caret (cursor) size.

Is this something crafty minded kids can help with? Would it be better to wear gloves d/t furniture polish ingredients? Just wondering as I know as soon as the glitter is out my girls will come running over!

Fawn, if you are in webinar you know my little one is ADDICTED to these ornaments. We did the three for my challenge and made the boxes (you can tell to that she helped but two of them together lol) and she is taking them to her teacher. Then tonight she made two more!!
It is not fair to make such a fun challenge in the middle of a crop. Once your start making these, you only want to stop long enough to go to the store and get more bulbs
This one is my favorite. I used an image from the gallery for the Yorkie.
Judy, the cardstock is from the Die Cuts with a View Holiday Collection, The Christmas Stack. I have used it for lots of projects for this crop. It is heavy weight and very nice for the boxes
I have made a lot of Large Bulbs and would love to put them in boxes. Can you tell me where the boxes are and is there one for the large ornaments? I think they are 4"
Wow! They are looking so awesome! The girls and I made a few tonight, d/t time limits we stopped at 4. They made little ones for their Life of Faith dolls (18") and need to make more for the doll tree! Okay, only concern is the ornaments I got from Hobby Lobby don't seem as clear...like they have an extra sheen inside or something. I swished a few with rubbing alcohol and left to dry over night but still a competing sheen. So, it's not a film inside from manufacturing. Any one else experience this? Also, do you guys put a lot of glitter in? I did not want to put in too much and waste it (I did buy the MS fine glitter set---yay HL coupons!) Anyone try mixing colors?
Thank you so much for the boxes. After Christmas, I am going to make several ornaments with Cherries on them for our Cherry Festival. I have lost of card stock with cherries on it and I think that would be a beautiful momento of our Festival. We are really big into the Cherry industry.
Here are just a few that I made...they are so addicting..thinking I might grab a few more and make them for all my siblings/nieces/nephews for Christmas too
My 1st crack at putting vinyl on a round surface too and am totally impressed My E actually cut out such a script fine font on vinyl too hehe The purple/iridescent on is my sister's name she's our O:) ...made it to put on the tree in her memory..this was her absolute fav time of year so had to make one for her too in her fav color lol oh btw for those wondering Baba & Gido is grandma and grandpa in Ukrainian

Here are my 3 with the boxes. The green volleyball one is for my DD. The purple one is for me! :-( and haven't decided on the gold one yet! LOL

Yes, I pour in a LOT of glitter. It almost all comes back out. I was worried at first as well, but it works great
