{nativity vinyl}

I’m overwhelmed with the response for my block Nativity.
Thank you all so much for your kind comments.
I’m so glad a lot of you want to make one, too!

The biggest question I am getting is if I sale the vinyl stencils or how you can get them.
Since I used my Silhouette & clip art (which is only licensed for home & personal use)
I can not sale it to you.  Buuut I did a quick search online & found these sites that do sale Nativity vinyl!  Yay!  It’s not exactly the same, but would still make a darling Nativity.

Please keep in mind I have not personally used any of these sites or shops.
So please contact them directly if you have any questions. :)

fab friday {Where do I get my vinyl?}

I've been asked a few times

So, where do you buy your vinyl?

I buy all my vinyl that I cut with my Silhouette at USCutter.  {Love them!}

You could use this vinyl with just about any vinyl cutter out there!

The vinyl that I use most is Oracal 631.

It works awesome!

It's great for all of your indoor projects.

It has a nice matte finish & comes in a wide variety of colors.

I also used it on my front door, and so far so good.

{Love it!}

The cast vinyl I use is called Oracal 751.

It comes in lots of fun colors, too.

Right now I only carry the white, but I'd love to try more colors.

This vinyl is awesome!  It's the one that can be run through a dishwasher.

I use HEXIS Chalkboard vinyl for all my chalkboard labels.

I love it because it is thick, works great & cuts super easy.

Now at the fancy craft places

you'll get vinyl cut in nice sheets for you.

But hey, I'm crafty,

& I'm pretty handy with a pair of scissors. :)

So I learned that if I buy it in bulk

& cut my own sheets I can save LOTS of money! Wahoo!

{And better yet make lots more stuff! Double Wahoo!}

{source}

I buy my vinyl in big rolls that are 24 inches by 10 yards.

{It will last for.ev.er.}

Then I just cut my sheets as I need them.

You've probably noticed {if you used Oracal vinyl before}

that the backing paper has a grid printed on the back.

So this makes it super easy to cut a straight line....no problems. :)

At USCutter you can buy a

24 inch by 10 yard roll of Oracal 631 for under $21!  {Wow!}

You've gotta love their flat shipping rate of

$9.99 on ground shipping to the 48 states, too.

{Double Wow!}

Go check them out!

{You'll be glad you did!}

{Just so you know, I was not compensated for this post.   These are my honest opinions!

I really do love USCutter,  and IF they wanted to sponsor my blog

or let me sample some of their fabulous vinyl I'd be more than willing. ;) hehe}

Don't forget to enter my giveaway for some super cute {USA blocks}.
