I want to show you a fun project I did, using MAKE THE CUT this week with my Cricut...
NEW UPDATE: This program is not compatible with Cricut:( I'm so sad!!! But can still be used with the Silhouette, Gazelle and more!

I do NOT like to use VINYL on my beadboard clocks, because of the ridges in the beadboard & I like to distress the wood to "antique" them a bit & you can't distress vinyl, so I usually use stencils, but I only have number stencils...so my beadboard clocks have been sort of plain.
BUT, PLAIN NO MORE!
I can do ANY DESIGN with my new software & create some fun "stencils" using vinyl...

I went to GOOGLE & found a pretty scrolly damask image & imported it directly into MTC, using the PIXEL TRACE option! It is SO COOL! You can import almost ANY IMAGE/FONT!
Then I googled "Clock Face" and imported the clock directly into MTC so it was already laid out in a circle for me!
I placed the damask image in the center of the numbers & cut the vinyl.

I REALLY should have used BLACK VINYL instead of white, so you could actually SEE this...but if you look CLOSELY...you can see I have laid VINYL on my beadboard...
Then I spray painted my board...
and once it dried, I started to peel off the vinyl...
Wah-la!!
I can make ANY STENCIL now & it is SO EASY!!!
And I can DISTRESS it, since it is just paint...

I've seen/heard about Make the Cut a lot, but I'm so curious...how do you connect your cricut to the computer? (I'm a fairly new cricut owner, so this might just be something I should know...) ;)
wow! that looks great! I'm glad you worked around the beadboard situation! :)
good luck with the affiliation! I hope you make some $$$

oooh, I love that they ARE actually going to be paying you... I promise that this is where I'll click through when I finally suck it up to buy! I'm still in the money vs. me mode...
I've been wanting to get the sure cuts a lot, but you've convinced me this is way better. I can't wait to get it.
You convinced me! I almost bought "Sure Cuts A Lot" but then I saw your post about "Make The Cut" and was sold. I just bought "Make The Cut" through your website and can't wait to start playing with it on my Cricut! Thanks so much!
