While I was fixing the ribbon spools, I was finishing up a design I started before Christmas. I wanted to make split letters for my good friend and for my SIL. Well, last night I finished my friend's frame! This picture was taken with my cellphone and it does not do justice because it is gorgeous in person.
I got the frame from Michael's a while ago when they were having a super sale. It is 11x14" and the matting area is 8x10, which I considered to be too small and I love the effect of the letter off the inside matting frame. the vinyl is from Oh My Crafts as well as the transfer paper.
One thing I tried this time was to use contact paper to transfer my design (red part) and it was a bad idea! The contact paper left some adhesive residues on it and it was a PITA to stick onto the glass. The whole letter has been adhered to the front of the frame because I didn't have an extra piece of glass to make a floating frame. I like this way better.
OMG, I thought I had already posted a tutorial for this project but I haven't!
1. Type your letter and follow the instructions on the screen shot. Don't panic if your studio stops working (says "not responding") it takes a little while for the program to work its magic. Just don't touch or click anything.

I hope this quick tutorial was helpful for you, if not just ask away. I used transfer paper from Oh My Crafts to transfer the letter and contact paper (not a good idea) for the red word.
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, this is just gorgeous! Breathtaking!
