See....THIS is how do do a tutorial. No fluff. No self promoting. Just informative and to the point. I just learned so much in a short time. You're awesome. Thanks.
I just couldn't wrap my mind around an easy way to bring life to my zentangles and Paisley designs! You have opened the door up! BTW the way you have your monograms organized is genius !
This is by far the most informative video I've watched all day. You answered like 3 of my questions and provided brilliant ideas on how to simplify a seemingly complicated process. Well done! and thank you :)
Agree! I just got my silhouette machine and have watched countless videos on how to print in multiple colors and none helped! I can totally do this! Thank you!
Fantastic , i finally found a video my brain can relate to on transferring vinyl without a lot of complications and straight to the point thank you so much giving you a Big thing up .
I am so glad I found this video! You make it look so easy and easy to follow with no unnecessary commentary. Thank you! Definitely subscribing to your channel
Thank you for this. I had no idea how to use those monogram fonts. You solved that for me. I also like the way you put all colors on cutting mat at once. Great job.
Well I have a question. I just tried to ungroup the circle font that I have and it wasn't an option. I added color and Released Compound Path and that was a mess. Can I ask which font you used in the video and where did you get it? @@ElleBeeCreates
Also I literally just ordered the tweezers, scissors, and application tape that you linked. And I have all that but I liked yours so much better. My scissors are terrible and my weeding tool is subpar at best. I didn't know the application tape came in 6 in size. Thank you for the leads.
I can’t remember where I got the SVG font, but if you release compound path on a font, I recommended doing it while it has no color fill and the cut lines are red. You will need to recreate the compound path for any letters that contain counters (like A, B, D, O) by selecting all of the components for that letter and then selecting create compound path so that when you color fill, those counters will show as a negative as expected. If you’re searching for fonts that are actually cut files instead of font files, you can search for “SVG fonts” on sites like Etsy and you will use them just like cut files instead of installing them on your computer like an OTF font. I hope you enjoy your new purchased as much as I do! Having the right tools makes crafting so much more fun for me!
Love this! I googled this same mandala and tried it as shown and it turned out great! Thank you for the awesome and easy to follow directions- I would have never thought of guarding the decal with the backing like that. So easy! :) I linked this video on the cricut for dummies page I am on because everyone wanted to know how I was able to do this- you are awesome! :)
It’s absolutely beautiful!!! It’s seems so simple the way you did it! I’m in the market for a machine and am checking out techniques. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I have not made the jump to 4.0 so I got a little tutorial on the software changes also. I am in your facebook groups also. I didn't realize you were in NC!
What a great video. I like the markers you placed on the bottom to ensure the design lined up perfectly. I'm curious to know how you went about printing these on your scrap pieces of vinyl. Did you place them on your cutting mat and send it to cut based on the colors of the mandala? I know you had mentioned you replicate the design three times so you can cut the design once vs 3 different times. Do you have a video on that?
i really like the mandala you used, but idk how to get it where i can make it into 3 layers. i am using cricut design space. can you link where you got the digital picture from? thanks!
ElleBee Creates I guess I need more guidance. Any spots you can recommend to download? I like how you can make each color different. Did the file come with that ability?
Can I do the same with a Cricut Explore is white mint green pastel I can't find the tool to make the lines and do I put the vinyl line up on the mat the same way the computer has it. Love the way you explained it so easy I'm upto were you look for tool to get the box oh and also when I change the colors everything changes help please. 👍👍👍😃😃👍👍👍 help me please
I'm using Version 4.0, Business Edition. You can update your software to the most current version here: (always back up your library first!) www.silhouetteamerica.com/software#update
How were the colors layered on the mat? Do they have to match the design space ? Does the machine know which color to cut on the corresponding vinyl color?
Can you please share what you use for transfer tape? I think I heard you say AT65 in the video. Where exactly do you order it from? Thank you for your awesome video and time!
I use several but yes I used AT65 in this video. I typically buy from sign warehouse, but there is also a link the the video description. Thanks for watching!
How do you trace then release compound. I want to do this but I'm so confused. I even bought a pattern off of etsy and I think I waisted money:( please help. I'd really like if you could do a video on it. Your videos are great!
I always try to put the links in the description of the video. On a computer, click "show More" right above the comment section, and on a mobile app, theres usually a down arrow next to the name of the video. Clicking either expands the description. Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any other questions!
I use a CB09 Blade, so my cut settings aren't universal but I've found the preset settings for adhesive vinyl are usually pretty spot on. Using the test cut feature to fine tune them will yield you the best results
All have for a blade right now is the auto blade it came with. I have Cameo 3 and for some reason when you send it to cut it goes to the far left side and just loudly makes a banging action several times before it aligns and starts the cut. My question is, is that because the blade is adjusting it's settings?
How did you cut all 3 colors at the same time? I saw how you designed it & I get it, but what about the cutting part. Did you place all 6x6 pulled to a silhouette 12x12?
Hi again! I am desperate! I made 45 decals to put on clear plastic tumblers. Everything looks amazing except for the fact that the CRICUT transfer tape is either peeling off a layer of the decal itself or leaving serious residue on the decal. Even parts of the word CRICUT is mildly sticking. The decals are super sticky. I am half way done. I have resided to the fact that these will not be great.... but this is ugly and now feel as if I have wasted money on gifts. Let’s not mention the time I have put in. I want to pull my hair out. Plus, peeling the transfer tape off is very very difficult. I am desperate. Any advice? I am using Oracal 365.
Are you by chance using the cricut StrongGrip transfer tape that’s made for transferring glitter vinyl? I definitely recommend using a medium tack transfer tape such as this one ellebee.link/apptape
ElleBee Creates I think what I did was burnish it too hard. I had to quickly make 2 more and was more delicate with my burnishing and there was no residue left behind. But it was still hard to pull off. I didn’t notice that it said GLITTER vinyl. I am going to make better choices if I ever do this type of project again. Perhaps order from you. I am just doing this for a few coworkers in honor of NURSES WEEK... (last week). Thank you so much for your time. I appreciate all of your help. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS
You can release the compound path, duplicate areas that need to be duplicated, and create new compound paths. I have a video on color filling designs on my channel, it will help with all of those steps.
This method doesn’t work for heat transfer vinyl but yes it works for larger adhesive vinyl designs. I have videos on my channel making larger decals with this method, and also on layering HTV on shirts.

In the video I'm using AT65 from RTape which you can get here amzn.to/2fjhads or from sign warehouse or us cutter. I also really love the medium tack app tape from 651Vinyl which you can get here bit.ly/apptape
I don’t understand what i am doing wrong but i have such a hard time getting the vinyl to stick on the transfer tape and i am using the same materials 😭
When I am trying to change the different colors, it's not selecting all of the same parts, it's doing each individual part a different color....does this make sense? When you click on one part, it changed all the other similar parts to the same color...mine isn't doing that.
that's because I had them grouped together. I have a slightly more advanced tutorial where I show how I group the parts together so they can be changed all at once th-cam.com/video/LWk3drhoV3o/w-d-xo.html

your videos are very interesting and very useful for me and others
Awesome. That was the trick I was looking for. Thank you.
All I can say is WOW!!! Amazing and thank you!!!
i really like the mandala you used, but idk how to get it where i can make it into 3 layers. i am using cricut design space. can you link where you got the digital picture from? thanks!
Excellent! Thank you for taking the time to create this!
You just saved my sanity !! Thanks for the video!
Wow mouth dripping so beautiful
New to this decal making. I love the design. Where can I get one like that? Download off line?
The design is called a mandala, you should be able to find them anywhere you can purchase or download cut files.
ElleBee Creates I guess I need more guidance. Any spots you can recommend to download? I like how you can make each color different. Did the file come with that ability?
ElleBee Creates I am rewatching the video. You say you TRACED this image? Do you have a video on how to TRACE?
Can I do the same with a Cricut Explore is white mint green pastel I can't find the tool to make the lines and do I put the vinyl line up on the mat the same way the computer has it.

Unfortunately I’ve never used a Cricut so I’m not much help on how to do this in Design Space.
Great video, it helped me a lot!!! Where did you find the mandala decal it’s so pretty!!
Great job and another amazing video!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤗🤗🤗🤗
What version of Silhouette are you using. THanks so much for the video. I learned something new in the first few seconds.
I'm using Version 4.0, Business Edition. You can update your software to the most current version here: (always back up your library first!) www.silhouetteamerica.com/software#update
I wish you would have shown how you put each color on the mat for it to cut at once
I have other layering videos that show that
Thank you so much for the help, I have been struggling with the how to on layered colors. You are by far the best teacher!!!
Thanks for watching!
How were the colors layered on the mat? Do they have to match the design space ? Does the machine know which color to cut on the corresponding vinyl color?
The simplest way is to place the color you want to cut on your mat and only cut that part of the design. Then repeat for each color
Can you please share what you use for transfer tape? I think I heard you say AT65 in the video. Where exactly do you order it from? Thank you for your awesome video and time!
I use several but yes I used AT65 in this video. I typically buy from sign warehouse, but there is also a link the the video description. Thanks for watching!

How do you trace then release compound. I want to do this but I'm so confused. I even bought a pattern off of etsy and I think I waisted money:( please help. I'd really like if you could do a video on it. Your videos are great!
I’ve got a tracing video on my channel. If you purchased a cut file (svg, dxf), you don’t need to trace it.
AMAZING tutorial!
Thanks for watching!
New subscriber. Awesome tutorial! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Where can you purchase that transfer tape roll?
well explained thanks looking to start my own decal company
Super helpful! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, can you put out a link or the name of your twecer and scissor
I always try to put the links in the description of the video. On a computer, click "show More" right above the comment section, and on a mobile app, theres usually a down arrow next to the name of the video. Clicking either expands the description. Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any other questions!
I am new to this and having difficulty in selecting each specific area to change the color. Can you guide me to a tutorial?
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Newbie here , what is the transfer tape pls. It sounded like 1865??
AT65. There’s a few links for in the video description 😀
What did you call the tweezers and where did you purchase them? Thank You.
They are needlepoint. There is a link in the description below the video. It won’t let me link it in the comments.
Great video learning a lot what is the cut settings that you used for the 651

My question is, is that because the blade is adjusting it's settings?
That transfer tape already sounds better than my sihilouette brand
Ong
What website do you use to creat your decals I’ve been trying to use the cricut website and I just seem to keep getting stuck
I used a Silhouette Cameo and the accompanying software which is not internet based and requires no internet connection
Does the AT65 transfer tape work well with glitter vinyl? Thanks in advance!!
Depends on the glitter vinyl, not all are created equal. Smooth glitters, it should work, but textured glitters, probably not.
@@ElleBeeCreates I appreciate the help! Thanks!
i have a explorer one how do I get those margen marks>>> I am new and I have looked all over the DS to find them with no luck.
I don’t have DS, but they are just squares made with the shape tool. Do you have a tool to draw squares and rectangles?
What's the name of the transfer tape?
Subscribed ! Great video :)
How did you cut all 3 colors at the same time? I saw how you designed it & I get it, but what about the cutting part. Did you place all 6x6 pulled to a silhouette 12x12?
I put all 3 colors on my mat at once like in this video th-cam.com/video/LWk3drhoV3o/w-d-xo.html
i have a cricut explorer. how would i seperate colors?
were u put the decals after u make them

Love your video very informative

You helped me so much! Thank you!
What do you do when you can't ungroup your svg to change the colors?
You can release the compound path, duplicate areas that need to be duplicated, and create new compound paths. I have a video on color filling designs on my channel, it will help with all of those steps.
Great video, thanks!
I know this video was in 2017 but what DECAL machine did you use can't you suggest something that I can Afford From Walmart
I use a silhouette cameo. They are about $200 on amazon. Amazon.com/shop/ellebeecreates
@@ElleBeeCreates thank you
How do you change the color on each section?
It’s in the video at around the 48 second mark.
hi can u tell me what website u are using to make ur design
It’s not a website, it’s the Silhouette Studio computer program
Ok so I have to download it
Excellent tutorial x x
Where did you get the monograms?
It’s been so long I can’t remember. There are tons tho, a search for circle monogram should yield a bunch of results
Has anyone tried this with larger decals? I want to try for a shirt but I'm worried it will be more difficult with a larger design.
This method doesn’t work for heat transfer vinyl but yes it works for larger adhesive vinyl designs. I have videos on my channel making larger decals with this method, and also on layering HTV on shirts.
how do you set your cbo9 blade cant get mine to cut right
I have a tutorial on how to set up and use a CB09 th-cam.com/video/6PlIlYayNu8/w-d-xo.html
Would "Duplicate" work as well as "Cut" and "Paste"?
Yes absolutely!
What program are you working in?
Silhouette Studio
@@ElleBeeCreates OK, that's why I didn't recognize it.
GREAT VIDEO!! Thank you
What kind of machine was used in this tutorial was it the maker?
I used a Silhouette Cameo 2.
ElleBee Creates thank you.. Great job
Can I do the same with a Cricut Explore is white mint green pastel I can't find the tool to make the lines and do I put the vinyl line up on the mat the same way the computer has it. Love the way you explained it so easy I'm upto were you look for tool to get the box oh and also when I change the colors everything changes help please. 👍👍👍😃😃👍👍👍
what is the name of the transfer tape you used?? TIA!
In the video I'm using AT65 from RTape which you can get here amzn.to/2fjhads or from sign warehouse or us cutter. I also really love the medium tack app tape from 651Vinyl which you can get here bit.ly/apptape
Thank you!
Hi can I do that in a regular printer? I have canon
This was made using a Silhouette Cameo cutting machine to cut adhesive vinyl.
Where did you find your monograms?
notjustamoma I think she said she found it on google
I don’t understand what i am doing wrong but i have such a hard time getting the vinyl to stick on the transfer tape and i am using the same materials 😭
You may be cutting your vinyl too deep. Try reducing your cutting force a little bit and see if that helps
What transfer tape did you use?
Cindy In this video I’m using AT65
When I am trying to change the different colors, it's not selecting all of the same parts, it's doing each individual part a different color....does this make sense? When you click on one part, it changed all the other similar parts to the same color...mine isn't doing that.

Can I do this in basic edition?
Kelly Gordon absolutely
Where did you get the mandala? The ones I see don't look like you can change the colors.
I traced it off of google. Then released the compound path and regrouped like shapes.
Ty! I'm going to try and find it! Oh and I'm in NC too!
Small world! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the tutorial. :)
wath program u have??
Silhouette studio
i love it
The best!
I try is not working ,I have 4.1
Kept saying TLC ended doing TCL. Lol. Props tho
Her initials are TLC, monograms are First Last Middle which is TCL
You say TLC but make TCL.....
Monograms are First, Last, Middle. So her initials are TLC but her monogram would read tCl.
i love it
where do you get your transfer tape from
Connie I’m using AT65 here. I purchased it from sign warehouse
