The wife wanted a sign on the back of the horse trailer. She ordered one off Etsy, it's supposed to look something like this.
However when it showed up, the transfer tape was separated from the vinyl all over. Lots of bubbles, and she got frustrated and just went for it. She didn't want any help, swore she knew what she was doing. Here's the result. Lots of bubbles and wrinkles on the parts that did stick. $55.00 or so down the drain. She won't tell me what she paid for it, and I really don't want to know. Here's her result.
I offered to do something similar with the Cricut, not knowing what I was getting myself into. I haven't used it in several years and the PC it is connected to is Windows 7. I tried to launch it and it of course wouldn't without updating. I let it update, and wouldn't you know, it popped up a box that Windows 7 was no longer supported. Great. Tried the Windows downloader on that PC, it wouldn't run. Stuck the flash drive I wanted to use in my couch surfing laptop, that wouldn't read it. Back to the old PC, reformatted the flash drive. Back to the laptop, downloaded Windows 10 22H2. There's no way this PC will run Windows 11. It is old and slow. I spent several hours doing the upgrade, and then I had to reinstall the Cricut software. What's my password? I don't know, reset the password. I finally got in, cut out the words, but didn't have the graphic. I ended up buying some graphics off their site, maybe I bought too many. But here's the result. I know, the lettering isn't perfectly straight. The Cricut will only cut 11.5 x 23.5, so it's multiple pieces. Maybe I should have gone with 5 horses, and I originally had it designed with 5, but this morning I had to add a Gypsy Vanner. The barn she takes lessons at has one and she rides him often.
Two 48" rolls of glitter white vinyl. Maybe it will show up better at night, I don't know. But I think I'm done with vinyl for a few years. If any of her friends ask, I'm retired.
