Coasters with a bit of Vinyl flair

Remember these coasters i got recently? And remember I said I finally received my order of vinyl? Woo hoo! Talk about an exciting combination!! ;)

I opened up the SCAL (Sure-cuts-a-lot) program and starting choosing some swirly fonts - I was going to do some Monogram coasters (or so I thought) - but then I kind of got tired of that idea. I am planning on doing a few other projects with our initial, so I wanted to do something different here. Again, blogland comes to the rescue, and aided me with some inspiration! I have seen among lots of blogs lately many things adorned with numbers! Numbers, numbers, everywhere! Me likey!! So, I scrapped the idea of 'M' coasters and went with numbers.

I chose a font that didn't give too many frills - what worked for me was Champagne & Limousines - perfect! Printed it out on my new black vinyl, weeded the vinyl, applied the transfer tape (in my case, green painter's tape because I have been over-zealous lately with my packing - but that's another story!!) and applied it to my coasters. Easy Peasy!! Here they are, aren't they beautiful??
