Wow, wow , wow! Tanner thank you for this training. I learned to flip the font, such a game changer for me...so many times I didn’t use certain fonts, that I loved, but because one or two letters wouldn’t fit properly, who knew I could just flip the letter!😂
I fully understand your point about smooth wood surface. Of course I go against the grain in that I have a fence post I want to use. I was going to uses permanent vinyl and then seal it for outside use, what if I hold the heat press close to surface. Will the vinyl melt into the uneven surfaces? Thanks, love your program.
Never use an iron on or around adhesive vinyl. Only use an iron or EasyPress on HTV (Iron-On). If you're making anything for outside that will be exposed to the elements I recommend sealing your project as well :)
We do not recommend using a heat press when Ironing onto wood. It simply cannot get into the bowing and imperfections of wood like the Cricut EasyPress Mini: amzn.to/2zvjW9D can. We highly recommend it!
You can buy a bag of tshirt material at most hardware stores, especially if they sell paint. Another idea is use old Tshirts, or maybe something from a thrift store.
Good question! You cannot Iron-on a sealer, so if you sealed it, it would need to be after you Iron it on. However, unless it will be outside exposed to the elements, you really don't need to seal it :)
Love this! I couldn't find the link for where you get the wooden circles... could you help me out? I'd love to find a great place to purchase them in bulk!
Can you do a tips and tricks for when you don’t have smooth wood and you want to use HTV? I just did a sign with rough wood and HTV and it was so difficult to complete. I really could have used some tips for rough wood because I bought a wood blank sign from Hobby Lobby that I couldn’t sand.
I seem to always have a problem with the glue and the htv not sticking to my wood even when I go over it then the glue starts to leak out and it looks bad.
Hi I don’t have a cricut, just an inkjet printer and iron on transfers. So I applied the image to the wood using my small heat press at 3 lights. I find that the image looks like it can peel off the wood. Then I applied modge podge to help seal it as I wanna use them as coasters. Can you give me any tips.
Thanks for the video. I was looking forward to trying this project, but it took several attempts to get the art and fonts and once they finally arrived, the font is not Happy Ever After as you state in the video. It's Happily Ever After, and it's very different from what you use. There is no fancy T and the lowercase h does not have a loop - just very plain. I searched on Happy Ever After and couldn't find it that way either.
I love this project and the video. However, I downloaded the cut file from makers gonna learn website and the font included is happily ever after(does not look the same as the one in this video) I found the correct font(happy ever after) on the website but, have to join your membership for that font. Which I can't really afford, so that was a bit disappointing for me.
We understand. However, we have so many amazing perks of membership and our files and fonts are just scratching the surface! We're also running a sale right now on our yearly membership! Join Makers Gonna Learn for $30 OFF using code "CRAFT" at checkout! : makersgonnalearn.com/join
Makers Gonna Learn once I found Inkscape I gave up on CDS. I make my own files, convert to png and only use CDS to cut. Your videos are showing me how far CDS has come and I’m excited
Hi Tanner! Love, love watch your tricks and your love for crafting. I was wondering if u would be able to teach us about pairing fonts. Thank you. Big kisses from Portugal & keep safe. 😘
Love this project, but the font download for "home" was not Happy Ever After. What I got was Happily Ever After. It's definitely NOT the same and they are not interchangeable.
The heat is what bonds the htv (iron-on vinyl aka heat transfer vinyl) to your surface so it is not really recommended to use htv without applying heat. If you don’t have a heat press, y our can often follow instruction to use a regular iron instead. Just be sure to not use steam setting! 😊
Good question! We don't use it too often, but we almost always use it when we're ironing onto wood that we've stained pretty recently. Sometimes if the stain isn't 100% dry (which we don't recommend. Let your stain dry for several hours - we're just impatient!), you need a little more protection between the stain and the EasyPress :)
I would love to, ma'am! You'll simply click this link: www.makersgonnalearn.com/join/ , scroll down and click sign up on that Yearly best value membership. You'll then enter in your payment information, then check your email for confirmation moments later then you'll be able to start crafting and enjoying your membership the very same day! :) Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help!
I have the cricut maker. I am experiencing a change in the dimensions my design space shows and what actually cuts is much bigger than the exact dimensions shown on the space rulers. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.
If your design is 4" by 4" in the canvas, it 100% should cut that same image at 4" by 4". If that's not the case I would contact Cricut support and get some help troubleshooting your machine :)
