Chalkboard Vinyl Decor

Hello, Friends!   I have a project today that was really simple to put together.   I used an old picture frame to create this fun and usable chalkboard for my granddaughter.

• Inspiration for this Project
• Old Picture Frame
• Chalkboard Vinyl
• Square1 Repositionable 
• Digi Stamp - from Beary Wishes
• Image found online

Chalkboard Recipe:

• Frame with glass - found in my back closet (dusty and unused)
• Chalkboard Vinyl - lay vinyl under the glass from the frame and cut around.  Peel backing off vinyl and apply to top of glass.  Reassemble the frame.
• "RACHEL" = cut at 2" using Cooper STD font.  Text was color filled prior to cutting.  I used Square1 to print and cut the letters.  Place text where you want on chalkboard vinyl.

• Cookie Monster = image found using online search.  Trace within Silhouette software.   I sized my Cookie Monster at 2.75" and used Square1 again for printing and cutting.  

• Cupcake = image is a digi stamp from Beary Wishes.  I sized the cupcake at 3".  Square1 was used to print and cut.  I love Square1 because it lets me move my image soooo easily.  Stickles was later added to the hearts and ribbon on the cupcake.
