Great tip! But instead of taping the decal to the table I bought one of those cricut sticky mats and I just lay the bottom vinyl to that. Super easy!
I just stumbled across this video while looking for a way to make multi-colored cricut projects without having to "print" the design. This was amazingly done! You need to make more tutorials! You have a great voice, great pace, and break things down so easily! Thank you so much!!
Thank you for your kind words and compliments! I am so glad I was able to help you out!
This looked too easy to be true. I’ve been using registration marks and STILL managed to mess them up. Tried this method today...worked like a charm. Thank you.
This gives me so much hope - I've had no luck with registration marks and have been looking for a different way to layer!
The whole time I was like where is she going with this (/eyeroll) and then I was like OMG that's amazing! Thank you this is going to help me so much.
LOL! So glad to hear I could help!! I love to read comments like this!
Same here. Glad I stayed 'til the end. So informative.
Yeah I thought that was a lot of steps but then wow!
Haha me too!!
lol same. my stupid brain is such a stubborn elitist. but i was so glad i stuck around to the end.
Gina, THIS IS FANTASTIC!!! I have been working on 60 4 layer vinyl decals for a local middle school. I can't even say how much vinyl I have wasted. I tried your method and it is wonderful. I made a few adjustments (using parchment paper instead of the transfer sheet sandwich as the vinyl didn't want to release from it) but I am amazed. Thank you so much. I am now subscribing to your channel.
I have never done a two color sticker because I never felt confident. Well, I did try once using registration marks but that failed miserably. Thank you so much for this great tutorial. I did a two color sticker for myself doing it your way and it came out perfect. I am so thankful, thank you again!
AWESOME TIP!! This is how I layer my decals now, and have been making a lot more 2 and 3 layer decals since I've seen this. Had to come back to say Thank you so much for showing this! :D
I am so so so happy to hear my tip helped you!! 😍
I have hated used vinyl for so long and OMG layering was a definite mess up for me. Glad I found your video as it has given me the confidence to have another go. I've just gotta get my vinyl out from the storage box and start using it. Thank you so much!!!
I've just come across your vid accidentally, and I was watching and watching and watching...and thinking, there is going to be an easier way of doing whatever it is she is doing right? wrong! Genius!! I have now subscribed, you made me sit here and laugh at myself, and how many times I have thought there was an easy way of doing just that, but couldn't for the life of me think of one! Thankyou :)
Angela, this comment made my day!! Thank you so much for the kind words! 🥰 and I am so glad my tip helped you!
I think u can use parchment paper too to line up if u don't have a lot of extra transfer tape laying around to make the transfer sheet she did😉Hope that made sense😅
This is so great. I have been using registration marks, but if they are off even a tiny amount, my whole design is ruined. I am going to use this method next time. You are awesome. Thanks for sharing. And less waste is always a good thing.
OMG, I just tried this on my very first layered multi color vinyl.... I don't think I will ever change methods! This was absolutely amazing!
I strongly believe this takes longer or just as much time as using registration marks; have you tried them?
Damn. I gotta say I was getting impatient at the beginning but this was legit genius.
Thanks for waiting till the end! lol :)
good idea, I have also seen using parchment paper too
Genius decal hacks !! Thank you for sharing !! Especially the idea of using transfer tape to hold down the decal. I’ve always used painters tape !
You are so welcome! I am glad it was helpful!!
Very clever!
The taped edge of the top silver color would be referred to as the "hinge". It's probably the best way to apply
vinyl to a substrate, or to a bottom color seen here.
While this method makes it easy to line colors up, so that you can apply "all in one piece"...
it's always better to apply separately. Why? When applying layered vinyl, the burnishing tool can't press into the
areas of the bottom color, that are closest to the top color edge. And that leaves gaps & bubbles, which will
dry & crack.
Apply, one color at a time. You can still use her application method. But the vinyl will be applied properly, and
last longer.
That is AMAZING! So glad I watched this before tackling my first 2 color vinyl project!
I seen another person do it different then that, she actually puts marks on them in the Cricut design space and cuts them out. Then she aligns the marks and it comes out perfect without no hassle, but good work. Thank you!
You are describing using registration marks, which works great but wastes some material. This method is if you don’t want to use registration marks ;)
Oh now I see the differences, very clever, thanks for sharing. It really does saves material and time.
You just saved my life! I can’t even tell you how many things I’ve ruined or put on crooked!!! Thank you! 😘
Had to watch it twice, but now I get it! Using the terms "transfer sheet" and "transfer tape" just confused me... getting old, I guess... but this should work well!
Im very new to Cricut and the sticker making thank you for this simply easy steps that make sense and such a great speaking voice. Thank you again
Genius! Worked amazingly. Thank you so much for this video!! I just wish I had found it a million decals ago.
Oh I am so glad it worked for you!!
Are you freaking kidding me right now! Complete genius! Thank you!!!!
Ha! So glad you liked it!
Wow, I don't know where you live...but I owe you a huge hug! So simple so fast! You're my new hero!
LOL! I am so glad it worked for you! Thank you!!
Ok, that was pretty awesome - I cut a lot of big stuff and can really see the economy in making the transfer sheet you described.
Nice, clever girl! You made it as easy as adding a screen saver to your phone.
Thank you! 😊 So glad it was helpful!!!
Why haven't you made more videos like this? Great voice, great showing, background music.. All just great!
Thank you!! I plan to do some more videos, I wish I had more time but I'm busy Doin' It All! ;-)
Of course! Well if you decide to do more, you have another subscriber waiting for you! :)
your poor hand must get tired from lifting that huge rock!!! lol
This is the best one I've seen so far! Thanks!
I have to layer a 78 inches long!! I was thinking.... this is not big enough but I'll still watch it... ufff... thank!!! Big help here.
👏🏾BRAV to the O = Outstanding method!
WELL, OLD BUT GOLD :)
Nice craft work 🎉👍👍👍
Wow this might be the answer to my prayers
You... Are... A... Genius
Just bought a USCutter a few months ago & trying to figure out 2 color. This looks quite easy now! (Have to admit I didn't realize she used regular transfer paper to stick to the bottom piece, thought it was that sheet she made. I thought how the hell did that stick, then realized oops dummy that's not the sheet she made...)
I'm about to get my first cricut machine, The Maker, on Saturday and this video has made me a subscriber. Thank you! I'll be checking out more of your stuff for sure!
You explain things very well!
Nice in have been doing it free handed the hard way or with the marks. This trick is really nice thx u. I haven't even though of using the transfer tape to hold the bottom sheet down. Wow.
I have tried. It's working. Made my work easier than before. Thanks!
Muro CS I am so happy to hear this!! Yey!!
I shuddered when you cut with the ruler. I cut my finger that way 😆
I just completely RUINED my printed vinyl because it STUCK and I mean REALLY Stuck to the transfer tape. It is a different brand than what you use, and I didn't think to test it. Now, I have no time to wait on another piece of that specialty/printed vinyl to come in the mail. 😡 I am sure this will work for everyone using the same transfer tape, and is a VERY cool idea. Just MAKE SURE YOU TEST IT 1ST IF NOT USING SAME TRANSFER TAPE AS IS USED IN THIS VIDEO!! I knew better, and am only upset with myself for not testing it 1st.
What kind of transfer paper do you use, I use Contact Paper and tried this and my vinyl stuck to the contact paper and wouldn't come off.
Me too. It didn’t work
Thanks so much.. I agree Great display, great voice and not alot of annoying noises in background..
Fantastic tip!!! 🙌🏽 much appreciated from a newbie vinyl enthusiast
Thank you for this! I am new with all this. You made it look easy!
I stumbled across this video too and wasn’t sure what it was about. I have to try this method. Btw you video is great explaining what you’re doing, I can’t wait to watch more video...Thank you this 😉.
That looked SO much easier.....I'm going to give that a try......Thank you.
You are so welcome! and please let me know if it works for you, I'm dying to hear, this was my first video tutorial :)
I learned more tricks that I imagined. Thanks for sharing!
Great tutorial. Wish I'd seen this a few sheets of vinyl ago lol.
Extremely clever.!!! Thankyou for sharing 😊👌🏼
My pleasure 😊
I.LOVE.THIS.CHANLE!
I have a vision problem that makes registration marks very difficult to line up, but artwork is no problem--I'll have to try this! Thanks! :]
This was great at first I didn’t get it, but than I saw the end. This is awesome
Wow this is a brilliant little hack idea. Ty so much
the transfer sheet is what I was missing. but can you tell me 1. how to tell which vinyl is the top and the bottom especially on multiple layers? 2. and how do you layer multiple layers without registration marks.
Oohhhh gotta try this method. I usually use marks and line them up then just cut them off. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't
Awesome, wouldn't have thought of doing that. Thanks so much you ROCK :)
I don't even have a machine yet. Just looking at videos. My thought would be either having to print something in 2 colours or use 2 different vinyls. This is so much better.
Hi. Are you able to make a video on how to create an apple shape goody box. Thank you.
Brilliant!!! Thank you! Great tutorial
You're very welcome!
Lol that just totally overwhelmed me.
OMG, you’re a flipping genius!
Awesome, thank you for sharing this AWESOME idea!!
You are so welcome!
Genius, just what I was looking for, thanks
The best tip EVER! Thankyou for sharing with us!
So clever! Tried it and it worked perfect! How I never thought of this? Lol
Thank You! So glad it worked so well for you!
Excellent but to make easy your decals use wax paper even better instead of using 2 sheets of transfer paper together.... you going to like it....
What kind of transfer tape do you use?! That came off so easy!
says in the description
great vid and info....would love to see a another video like this. thanks
Many thanks, brilliant!
You're welcome!
oh wow wish id seen this one earlier! great tip
thanks! so glad you like!
That was a great video and very happy to follow your channel. I'm used to working with paper and vinyl has been tough for me but this is a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing.
How do you layer 2 colors when the second color has to be applied to a blank space, not on top of another piece of vinyl? Example memorial decal with messages on top, name and dates at the bottom (all in white) and the image in the center of a different color. Thanks
Tfs...looks easy enough...I will definitely try it
This is awesome! Thank you
AMAZZZING!! Thank you.
What a great help! This will save many projects! Thank You!
Hi Gina, which clear transfer tape did you use I see a CLEAR and an ULTRA clear. I want the bigger roll like you have. WOW... this is pretty awesome... I've been using the registration marks.. that works but like you said I hate wasting.
Nevermind, I found it! Thank you so much for the tip! You rock lady!
AMAZING!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I struggle with layers bc I can never line up my registration marks!
I am so glad I was able to help!! :)
Amazing video! Thank you!!!!
You are heaven sent!!! I’m definitely trying this tomorrow
stas peña I can’t wait to hear how it goes for you!!
well that was easy! Thank you!
So glad I could help!
Get a craft cutter rolling blade board, its built in to do 90 degree cuts and its so much easier.
oooo... I love it! I will put that on my christmas list! thanks for the suggestion!
I've tried this about 12 times in the past 2 nights...trying to make my first 2 color vinyl decal. (I've done HTV t-shirts for awhile so I have an idea of what needs to be done) This method DOES NOT WORK if your top color is more than one piece as vinyl DOES stick to the "transfer sheet".
I found out like you the hard way. I had several letters and they all stuck to "transfer piece". UGh!!!
Same here
Excited to give that a try!
Very cool tip! By the way, you have very pretty hands!
Oh thank you! (blushing)
Kind of along the same lines as putting screen protectors on your phone..cool
use a squeegee and buy yourself a light box to place the graphics on so that you don't need to waste application tape.
You are so clever! Thank you for sharing!!! I'm going to give it a try!
Oh my gosh thank you so much! Life changing lol!
So glad!
Great tip in theory, but after 5 attempts it's very safe to say that this trick does not work with Oracal 651 Vinyl & Oratape Application Tape. The adhesive will stick to the makeshift barrier and ruin your top layer.
Great video. Thank you for sharing
OMG wow, lol I hate layering like this cause I can't ever get it looking good....I can't wait to try this trick though :)
Thank u I tried your trick and it worked...now my cups look 👍 great ...again Amazing idea.
You are so welcome!! I am so glad to hear it!!!
Were you using registration marks before?
Great tip! I had to redo my project three times yesterday. Then today I found your video. I now have to try it so I can finish it. So excited 😆 thanks
Awesome! I'll have to try that!!
Thank you so much for sharing. I can’t wait to try that technigue
Thanks! I’m a newbie! Great tip 👍🏽
Just tried this, unfortunately it did not work with cricut glitter vinyl (which BTW is the worst vinyl I've ever worked with). It just adhered to the transfer tape. I will definately try with regular and permanent vinyl soon.
does the top layer of transfer tape come off of the silver or is it stuck on there forever? thanks!
Were do you get your transfer tape? I couldn't hear over the tape coming off the backing. Nice tip! Thank you so much.
