ETCHING CREAM

I kept seeing projects using etching cream and I really wanted to try my hand at glass etching.  So I went looking for the brand that I saw people using, but I could not find it in the store.  In fact a lot of the big box stores did not appear to sell etching cream.  Well I looked online, and the cost of the cream plus the shipping seemed a little much, given the size of the bottle (2 - 3 ounces).
Then I was walking through Michael's and you guessed it, I saw etching cream.  The one I found was made by Martha Stewart, came in an 5 + ounce bottle and had a little brush to use.  I was able to use a coupon so the price for the size turned out to be really good.
Now there are a bunch of stencils you can buy, but I have die cutting machines and vinyl. You can click here and watch the video for the doing this glass which I used the Winter Wonderland Cricut Cartridge for the shape.

Here is also a picture of my first attempt at etching, for this one cutout I used the Silhouette Cameo ( I give love to both my machines)

I think some folks are going to get gifts this holiday season that have some personalized etching.

HAPPY CRAFTING

2nd Wednesday: Winter Wonderland Cricut Cartridge

I'm a little late with with the 2nd Wednesday post and video (sorry), but that's 'cause I've been sick.  This first 2nd Wednesday video is featuring the Winter Wonderland Cricut Cartridge.  I've posted a video which you can check out by CLICKING HERE.  The video goes over briefly what you can find on this cartridge, and three different projects that I did using the cartridge.  You find an idea for a layout or home decor project, two Christmas cards, and a 3-d ornament.  

In the remaining weeks of the month, I will try to post some photographs of other projects (mostly cards), that I made using this cartridge.

HAPPY CRAFTING,
