Mother’s Day is around the corner and this is the perfect time to create something very special for her! Even if you are lock down!
You can purchase and download this SVG from my shop HERE and get crafting!
I thought I would give a little detail on this SVG because there are two files I include in the download. One is if you wish to apply the vinyl already with everything in place (uses MORE vinyl). And the other is if you wish to do more of a freestyle with the leaves and dots. (This SAVES vinyl!) But whatever works for you! Lets check it out!
Regular Application vs Vinyl Saver Application
As you can see you will be using more vinyl with the regular application. Below are two videos one is the regular application and the other is vinyl saver application. To be quite honest I felt that the Vinyl Saver application was way easier to apply. Check out the tutorial below
Materials
- Starbucks Cold 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: Purchase and Download this SVG from my shop
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
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.
Lift the vinyl
STEP 4: Carefully line your design with the Starbucks logo
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.
Remove the Transfer paper and make sure the vinyl is pressed down on all edges.

STEP 5: Listo! Admire your custom Starbucks cup and decide if you will send it to your Mom or keep it! Then make another one to send!
I hope you found this helpful and that I did not confuse anyone! I hope you all are doing good and Keep on crafting!
