I'm Running Out Of Cutting Boards...

so, this may be the last one I post for a while.  The Dollar Tree has sold out of the boards again.  I think I have done all I need for personal Christmas gifts as well as the December craft show.

This file was shared by Diana Stipps Young on a Facebook page.  I saw a cutting board with it on it and spent about two hours trying to find the file.  Christine Dietz saw my post asking for a link to the file and forwarded it to me.

It was a Silhouette Studio file and it took me several tries to get a good trace on it so I could use Make The Cut software to cut it on my Cameo.

Sunday Afternoon Crafting

 Another glass cutting board embellished with gold metallic Oracal 651 vinyl.
WalMart has two sizes of square glass plates that are very inexpensive.  I used a couple of images from Cricut cartridges and cut the stencil with my Cameo to etch this one.

It's very difficult to get good photos of glass.  It seems that no matter how I position the item, I still get glare.

Another Cutting Board

My Facebook friend, Robin Goens, thought this would be an appropriate saying for my personal cutting board.  I can't imagine why!  LOL!  I'll probably tweak it a little and add something below the words.  Or, I'll rearrange the wording so there's not so much open space.

The font used is Alako Bold.  I used clip art images to trace the wine bottle and glass in Make The Cut.

I went back and added the grapes to fill up the space.  This one is much better.

Dinner Choices Cutting Board

I will have to add some flourishes or other small details to the cutting boards I've posted these last few days.  The lettering looks good, but they need a little extra detail on them since they're for a craft show.


3 Meals A Day Cutting Board

I saw this saying online and thought it would be a fun one to use on a cutting board.


Just Add Bacon Cutting Board

This one came from an idea Diana Collander shared on the Old Cricut Community Facebook page.
She sent me the file and by the time I got mine done, I was seriously wishing I'd just used it!  Somehow, I "forgot" to check the orientation of the word "bacon" in the pig and cut it upside down!

Thanks, Diana, for the inspiration--you know I love me some bacon!

Another Round Glass Cutting Board

I like this one better with the blue lettering.

Square Glass Cutting Board

Although this looks yellow in the photo, it's actually metallic gold Oracal 651 vinyl.  I traced the wording and used an image from a Cricut cartridge for the vines.

Round Glass Cutting Board

My friend Shirley saw the skull wearing the chef's hat online.  I traced it in Make the cut and added the lettering.  

Another Glass Cutting Board

I used Antigoni, Alako-bold  and Cornerston fonts for this one.

The utensils are from a file done by Shirley, aka Okieladybug, Thompson.

The glass cutting board is 8" square.  I found these at the Dollar Tree and Dollar General Store.

The craft show isn't until December, so by then my items will be finished and ready to display!

Glass Cutting Board With Vinyl Lettering

I used Alako-bold font for the words  "Mom's" and "Diner" and Antigoni  font for the words "open 24 hours".  This is another project for the craft show in December.

This is an 8" square cutting board with acrylic bumpers on the back side so the design has to be cut small enough to fit inside the bumpers.

Another Wine Themed Cutting Board

The file for this was shared on a Facebook Silhouette page.  It was even the perfect size for the glass cutting board from WalMart.  I did some minor modifications on the design by eliminating some of the tiny elements on the corkscrews.

At wine group Saturday night, I had a pen and paper game for the ladies to play.  I gave this as one of the prizes for playing the game.
