So we meet again Friday! And it is soo good! Just getting caught up on a few things and I am feeling super excited for an upcoming launch that is just right around the corner! Stay tuned… In the meantime, lets jump to this week’s free SVG Friday!
Download and make yourself this super fancy Starbucks design… Warning, this guy requires a lot of patience when weeding out the negative however your patience will pay off as it will add a nice touch of fanciness to your outfit!
Materials
- Starbucks Cold Cup or Hot Cup – I get mine from Starbucks
- Vinyl color of your choice – I use Oracal and buy these from Amazon but you can find them at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Joanns
- Transfer Tape – to lift vinyl off of Cricut mat
- A dab of alcohol on a napkin to wipe the surface of your Starbucks Cold Cup
Tools
- A cutting machine such as the Cricut Explore, Cricut Maker I have these one
- Tools to weed out the fine details today I am trying out a new one I ordered on Amazon which is this one.
- Scraper tool or old gift card, I use the scraper tool from this Cricut Set
Instructions
Gather your materials and prepare the scene
STEP 1: Download your FREE SVG from the Library (you will need to sign up to gain access!)
Once you have downloaded your file, upload your SVG into Cricut Design Space. (everything is sized specifically for the cold cup)
STEP 2: Cut your Design on Vinyl Sticker Paper
Hit the Make it at the top right-hand corner of your screen and load your vinyl regular side up
Weed out the negative parts of the design, like I mentioned before, this one will take lots of patience but it will pay off!
STEP 3: Transfer the Vinyl with Transfer Tape
Lay your piece of transfer paper on top and go over it with a flat edge, the Cricut Scraper tool works for this or even an old gift card. Since this design has so many pieces to it, I found that it worked better if I allowed the transfer paper to lay on top of the vinyl for a while before lifting. I don’t know it could be me but it seemed to work better!
Lift the vinyl
STEP 4: Carefully line your circle up with the Starbucks logo (check out video below)
Balance your Starbucks Cup by placing it on top of a rag or t-shirt just to keep it from rolling around. Start from the middle and then slowly lay it down (this can be a learning curve but you will get it, just take your time!) Once you have it placed and before you remove the transfer tape, press firmly over the design with your fingers and go over it with your scraper tool or old gift card. Once again I found that if you let the transfer tape sit for a few minutes on the design it just seemed to work better for me when lifting it.
Remove the Transfer paper and make sure the vinyl is pressed down on all edges.
STEP 5: Ready to keep it Fancy and accessorize with your favorite outfit! Keep on Crafting! Don’t forget to tag us with your creations on Instagram @cheekyminds
