Frosty Mug

Hello Everyone!

Who doesn’t enjoy a large glass of a refreshing beverage? Summer is getting closer and so is Father’s Day! Masculine projects always give me a run for my money! Today, I am sharing an easy and generic Father’s Day gift that can be given to any father or father figure in your life! My hubby is not a beer drinker BUT he does like Root Beer. Can you imagine this mug coming right out of the freezer just waiting for some ice cold Root Beer to be poured in? Ah yes, I have made myself thirsty J

To make this mug:

1.       Weld two of the 0983 vines together. Then I used a FunTime font for the word “DAD”.

2.       Placed a piece of scrap vinyl on the mat (vinyl can be purchase at BossKut.com); this will become your mask.

3.       Cut the images using the BossKut Gazelle.

4.       Once the cutting is complete, weed the positive image out and adhere the negative of the images to the mug using Transfer Vinyl Tape (can be purchased at BossKut.com).

5.       Use a generous amount of Etching Cream to the images (make sure the cream does not go on the parts you do not want etched).

6.       Leave cream on for about 10-15 minutes (depending on how etched you like your project).

7.       Take off the access amount of etching cream (can be put back in the container for later use) and clean the remaining cream with warm water.

8.       Carefully take off the mask.

9.       Wash your mug and enjoy!

I hope you all enjoyed today’s project! Remember to stop by BossKut.com for more files and inspiration! Kenya~

Teacher's Simple Tumbler

Hello Everyone!

Teachers have a way to affect our lives forever. Each and every one of us has that one teacher we will never forget. My teacher was Ms. Winters! She was my kindergarten teacher and she was a hippy LOL! She was so down to earth. One thing I loved about Ms. Winters was how she read to the class! She knew how to make a book come to life J It has been many years since I seen or heard from Ms. Winters, but I think about her often. Please remember the teachers in your life...past, present and future J

Today, I would like to share a really simple Teachers Appreciation project that can be put together in minutes using your BossKut Gazelle. You can go simple like I did or go wild by layering different colors of vinyl (can be purchased at BossKut.com). There are many school related files available on BossKut.com. However, I decided to do something on my own. I constructed an apple from a sketch. What I love about FunTime and the Gazelle is I can do what I like J. Once the apple was to my satisfaction, I welded the teacher’s initials in the apple using FunTime fonts. On the back, I put a simple quote on the back.

That is it! Vinyl is so fun to work with and it cuts like butter in the Gazelle! Don’t forget to pop by BossKut.com to check out the vinyl selection, vinyl blades, files and inspiration. Kenya~

Joshua 24

Hello Krafters,

I have really been into making tiles lately. They make wonderful home décor projects and gifts alike! I made this tile for a fellow laborer. One of my favorite scriptures is Joshua 24:15. I thought this was only fitting…

Check out how well the Gazelle cut out the vinyl! The cross and Bible are very thin! It is important to use a sticky mat and a new blade. If you don’t, you will become very frustrated.

I hope this project inspired you to try your own. Thanks for stopping by, Kenya~

He Has Risen! BK DT

Hello Krafters,

Easter is a few weeks away! In preparation, I made a quick and easy 4x4 tile to kick start my Easter home décor projects. For this project, you will need a vinyl, transfer tape and a vinyl blade. These items can be purchased at BossKut.

One thing I love about my BossKut Gazelle is its ability to cut vinyl! Remember when working with vinyl, you want to make sure your blade is barely peeking out of your blade holder. Also take it nice and slow! I used a force of 1 and speed of two. If the cuts were more detailed slow the speed down to one.

For the cuts, I used the newly released PK Grass (BKD095) and the Cross (0344). Another thing I love about the BossKut Gazelle and Fun Time are the fonts! I used a FT font for the sentiment; you can also use fonts that are on your computer! Cool right? To finish off the tile and to add a little flair, I added a rhinestone to the center. Rhinestones can also be purchased at BossKut.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Don’t forget to pop by BossKut for these files, materials and more inspiration. Thanks for stopping by, Kenya~

Church Banner

Hello Boss Kut Gazelle Lovers!

Welcome to My Gazelle and Me! On this blog, I will be sharing a variety of projects using my Boss Kut Gazelle. I hope you visit often and enjoy this blog J

For the first project, this is an information banner I made for my church. The Boss Kut Gazelle cut the vinyl beautiful! I imported the church’s logo into the software and used a true type font from my computer for the information. Easy as 123!

I hope you enjoyed today’s project. For more inspiration, pop on over to Boss Kut! Thank you for stopping by, Kenya
