I love all the little signs that you make for your wreaths.

Thank so much for show us how you do this. I too use the sharpie to do my signs. Unfortunately I don’t have a Cricut machine so I hand write or print everything. But you showed me how YOU prep you signs. I always just painted the board a background color that matched the colors of my flowers. I liked the way you did yours. Judy Frenz from St. Louis

Thanks Tracy! Uhhh I just got a Cricut this week to hopefully make some of my own wreath signs though I've not yet unboxed it because I am honestly a little bit intimidated about the whole thing. I absolutely have faith that walking through fear is my best course but I am now feeling much more confident that I made it more scary than it had to be. I have ordered the vinyls, transfer tape, etc that you have linked. Thanks again friend. Peace and love xo

@countrycharmbytracy 6 жыл бұрын

Hi there - cricut design space is free to download and design in but in order to cut out the project you have to have a cricut machine. They do offer a print than cut option as well so basically you could use cricut design space for designing only. Hope that helps. xoxo!

Hi Tracy.. I just found your channel cause I was looking for videos to teach me how to use my crucit.. I recently bought a crucit from a friend and don't have a clue how to use it lol.. Your channel is the only channel that I've found to be VERY helpful.. Mine is an impression like yours and was wondering if you could do a video on beginners I'd love to learn how to use this darn thing .. Mostly iron ons and decals.. Any help would be very appreciated thank you

@countrycharmbytracy 6 жыл бұрын

Hello there and welcome to my channel. Congrats on joining the cricut family and I know you will love it. Yes there is a learning curve with any die cutting machine but youtube is your best source for learning. Just to make sure I understand you have the Cricut Expression or Cricut Explore? The difference is the Expression does not hook to the internet and is cartridge based. The Cricut Explore is internet based designing? I'll try to find some beginners tutorials for the machine you're using.... xoxo!

First time watching one of your videos and I really enjoyed it! I also learned how to make a cute sign :) Just a DS tip, when you're making multiples of the same design it's better to use the make copies function on the mat/cut screen vs duplicating on the canvas. Duplicating on the canvas can cause DS to glitch at times. Thanks for the great video!

Tracy, thanks for the tutorial. I have a brand new machine and have not yet begun to pull out the directions to learn how to use it. Shame on me. you make it look so easy, and I purchased two packs of the wooden signs. I gotta make this a priority. I love working with vinyl. for now, I will use my cricut machine, find the word Welcome and cut it out. Murielo

Hi Tracy! New to your channel! I need some guidance. What materials would you suggest for making an outdoor wreath? Exposed to weather. I have a couple of places I’d like to make wreaths for but not confident about what is available for weather durable. Thanks for your time. Suzanne

@countrycharmbytracy 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Suzanne - welcome to my channel. I'm so happy you're here. This is what I tell my customers when they ask me this same question. Anything exposed to direct weather elements, such as heat, rain, snow, wind, sun will be affected. It's unavoidable. A covered porch will help or somewhere where the wreath will not get direct sun (fading), rain or wind. xoxo!

@countrycharmbytracy 6 жыл бұрын

To cut vinyl you need some sort of die cutting machine. I use a cricut explore but there is also a silhouette die cutting machine. Same concept different companies. Another option is you could print the words on your computer and cut out with scissors, trace onto your project and paint the words. Hope this helps. xoxo!
