Ever since we were kids our family has always enjoyed a backyard vegetable garden.
At first we plant our tomato and pepper seeds which end up in our gardens in late May.
Ive always wanted a set of garden markers to keep track of my seedlings.
Several years ago I made some for ourherb gardenbut never yet had any for my veggies.
The Cricut Joy is the latest innovation from Cricut.
Stay tuned for some additional Cricut Joy projects coming soon!
Insert wooden skewer into drilled hole.
Repeat with all wood slices and put aside.
On a new canvas in Cricuts Design Space, select Images from the toolbar.
choose the Food and Kitchen theme and then throw in vegetables in the search engine.
Insert the vegetable images onto the blank canvas.
pick the image and hide all the drawing lines from the layers toolbar.
Select one image and then hit Ungroup.
If the image is still attached, hit the detach button.
This will separate the image pieces into their own layer.
Add text for the back side of the garden markers.
Select Text from the toolbar and punch in out the vegetable: carrots.
Adjust text size to 0.375 high.
Adjust the curve to 1.5.
Adjust the letter spacing to 1.8.
Ensure the cutting machine is set to Cricut Joy.
Select Make It in Design Space.
Set material punch in to Smart Vinyl, Permanent and choose No Mat from the list of cutting options.
Cut around each image and lettering with a pair of scissors.
Cut a piece of transfer tape a bit larger than the size of the image.
Peel away the transfer tape backing and place the transfer tape overtop of the cut vinyl.
Gently rub the vinyl to help it stick to the transfer tape.
Peel away the vinyl backing, leaving just the image adhered to the transfer tape.
Position the image with the transfer tape on to the center of the wood slice and press in place.
Slowly and carefully remove the transfer tape leaving the vinyl image on the wood.
And continue these same steps for the remaining garden markers.
Repeat with the lettering on the reverse side of the wood slice.
