It’s fun to try something new and be successful! Last night I worked on a Stampin’ Up! Yard sign. I got the large logo from SU and wanted to add my email to it. So I pulled out my cricut and dusted it off and set out to learn how to cut letters in vinyl. I didn’t see any reference to it in my Cricut class notes from 2 years ago, so I searched google! (I love google-don’t you!?!) And there I found an easy, sure way to not only cut my letters but apply them to my sign!
Nancy Jongenotter Hoevelaken made the YouTube video and it worked!

Here is the finished product! (If you stand on one
leg and tilt your head, you’ll see it’s almost straight!)

First I cut my letters using 3-3-2 for my settings.
Putting your blade on 2 cuts the vinyl but not
the backing! Pull away the vinyl not to be used
leaving the letters.
Next cover the letters with painters tape and
gently pull off the backing.

I used my White Stampin’ Chalk Marker and
laid my letters down. Then I gently pulled off
the painters tape leaving the letters on the
board.

And like magic, alcohol takes off the white chalk
line! Yippee! Another success story!

   If you like the look of chalk Stampin’ Up! offers Chalkboard paper to go with the marker!

And in the Occasions Catalog there are 3 Colorbox Chalk Ink Pads. Try it! 
Here are a couple examples:
