Heya I just wanted to add 2 tips to what you’re teaching on .. & I know it’s been 3 months since this video but someone may need this. ~~On those intricate designs that the Cricut wants to cut every single piece out.. like flower parts or skulls teeth or something with a lot of parallel lines, shapes etc, I do a tiny offset of like .002 or .004 (in black usually) and then FLATTEN it so it’s all one piece. I had 6 tiny Razorback hogs & it was cutting every tooth & every line. Essentially ruining the piece bc the blade was sticking to the tiny parts & lifting them, making it a mess 😩 .. after days of contemplating LOL 😆 I tried a sliver of an offset & it totally worked!!🙌💯💯 ~~ALSO - for the people who are saying their cut is off & they’ve tried to calibrate it. Normal calibrate is not the same as ‘Print Then Cut calibrate’. You have to choose the Print Then Cut calibration selection for your machine to print out the test page lines, that we then choose from to tell it which lines are working. It will ask for a 2nd print test and we choose the best cut again. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 tests to get it perfect. I tried normal calibration & it did nothing for Print Then Cuts. Finally chose the right calibrator and bam.. righteous ✂️ I just can’t force myself to use scissors when I’m looking at a bunch of different pieces. Thanks for sharing Courtney! You’re a beautiful lady with a ton of great information & ideas!! 🌹🌹🌹
“Dedication” at it’s very best..thank you for still providing us with a tutorial even though you were not feeling 💯 . 🤒Get well soon 💜 🇨🇦 (P.S. You didn’t look that “rough” we’ve all had those days, sometimes without even being sick 🤣🤣)
I'm planning on using waterslides for making legends on my blank keyboard, but it has black keys so I was struggling on figuring out a way to go about this. This video was very helpful in me fiiguring out a way to do it. Thanks!
It does!! Another hack I figured out because I didn’t think of the spray paint, is to use white vinyl and place the water slide over top! It works just as good if you don’t have white spray paint 😁Hope y’all start to feel better!
THANK YOU for this video!!! It literally saved the day on a current project!!! The printing it on a colored rectangle and painting the back AND I never knew you could put the waterslide on face down (with backing on top) I've been trying to slide the backing off between the cup and image. That hack alone is life-changing! :) Thank you again for this very informative video!
I was so baffled by a decal i tried to put on a black scale model truck. Thank you for this I was able to lay down a perfect decal earlier using this method!!
First of all, the dedication of even making a video when you don’t feel the greatest. You are so smart and talented and I pray you continue to go after it all. This was such a neat hack ! Feel better soon love!
Thanks for your fantastic video!!! You certainly very clearly answered for all the possible questions on this topic with a great understanding the process of application the waterslide decals on the dark background.
Wow game changer. I’m wanting to put an image on a white glitter cup adding a white background will make the image stand out better against the glitter.
I didn't know that about the box! Great tip! Also, you forgot to mention about mirroring your image if it has words. Some may not know this. Thanks for the update Courtney!
The reason why you need the white paint: your printer can only print 3 colors plus black. When you print on normal white paper that's not an issue. But when you put your design on anything that's not white that's gonna add to your color mixing.
First off thank you so much for this and hope you all are feeling better. Definitely dedication and I for one appreciate it. My question is if it’s laser paper that doesn’t need spray seal do you still need to spray seal after the white paint. It makes sense just wanted to make sure. Thanks so much!
If you would use the white water slide and put the square as a clear square to put on to something and do the white spray paint would it work that way also
I hope you are feeling better. May I suggest you show how to do the Vinyl behind the waterslide as well because some people ask about that and I find it very easy for the things with small details that can't be cut out or sprayed
@@CourtneysCustoms I love all your videos and I follow your true crime RU-vid. I always listen to it while I am cleaning kennels at the cat rescue I volunteer at lol.
love your videos i seen how u like to add ur waterslides from the backside if that makes since buy if u do this method does the waterslides have to be mirrored or printed in revearse hope i make sense ty
I understood your previous video except for the adhesive and this one didnt address that either. Im new to water slides so im assuming its my ignorance but it appears you're placing the painted surface you just applied, with no adhesive, against the tumbler. Is adhesive not required?
I have a doubt. What is the advantage of using the clear one instead the white one? The white one is not the same at this process, but avoiding this whole process?
Is there a way i could send you a pm? I was wanting to add a dark image on a tumbler all i have is the clear waterslide do i spray my cup black then i dont know what to do next
You are very artistic, but what if you are using a word and not an image that looks the same front or back? How would you apply a word (two words; one black letters one in gold letters) to a black object like a tumbler? Thank you.
Is all.waterslide able to play face down? I got the spin it water slide paper a while ago and was just going to try doing it but I have a dark purple cup and now I'm afraid it won't work snd I already printed the picture... no words so it may be ok if it's not mirrored
I do a inset of the image cut out on white vinyl or whatever color I need. I make it wear the waterslide image is barely overlapping the vinyl so that the outline blends out with whatever is behind it.
