    Just wanted to say THANK YOU! I did a sign for one of my nieces wedding earlier this year and your tutorial gave me the confidence to make it! She loves the sign and has it in hanging in her home. I also used the rose gold foil!

    • @CarlyKeller

      I'm so happy to hear that!! The larger signs can be intimidating but once you do a few is just like any other project 🙂 So glad this helped and best wishes to your niece 🕊

    Thanks for showing how to do the sign. It’s beautiful. Do you mind sharing the thickness and size of the actual sign? I’m doing a seating chart one for a pastoral dinner celebration and I have no clue but I’m willing to do it. Thank you.

    Very pretty! Whew that foil seems like it will give you a run for your money & time! I’ll just stick to permanent vinyl. This almost took me out! But I loved it! You are so patient!

    • @CarlyKeller
      @CarlyKeller  3 года назад +1

      Thank you! Same here. Not sure if I’ll ever try it! Maybe just stick to the welcome sign then Oracal for the rest 😀

  • @arleneaugustahair8393
    @arleneaugustahair8393 2 года назад

    The foil is beautiful but I learned the hard way about cutting it also. I never thought about using an xacto knife to cut between the letters before weeding.

  • @splifsis25
    @splifsis25 3 года назад +1

    For foil u have to use strong grip transfer tape. It makes it so much easier. I don't know if it will leave residue on the acrylic tho.

    • @CarlyKeller
      @CarlyKeller  3 года назад

      I wonder if the grid tape I use would work better! Does seem like all the tutorials I watched had issues with it lifting though. Not sure I’ll try another foil to find out 😳

    This is amazing! You did a great job! I am wanting to do this for my wedding, the colors are Emerald green & gold. I ended up making the shade of green I wanted BC I was having time finding a dark green.
    What should I do to prevent light from coming through? Should I do the green & use black as the finishing color? What do you think?

    I see that polycrylic is on your supply list. When do you use that?

  • @patticatron6573
    @patticatron6573 3 года назад

    I will be making signs for my daughters wedding that is in November. I loved seeing how you applied the paint. What if your colors are very contrasted......like dusty rose and Cabernet

    • @CarlyKeller
      @CarlyKeller  3 года назад +1

      How sweet! If the colors are contrasting would try and use one as the lettering. If not would try for a white lettering to stick out against the background!

    Your work is awesome. Any tips on cutting the foil vinyl? I added more pressure to the Cricut suggested settings but I’m not getting a clean cut. Thank you

  • @ldmmpb
    @ldmmpb 2 года назад +1

    Hi Carly, have you ever tried applying the words first then the paint on top of the words so everything is behind the acrylic?

    • @CarlyKeller
      @CarlyKeller  2 года назад

      I have with a pour painting once but I prefer the vinyl on top! Not sure how the back side of this foil would look though..

    Do you buy easels by yourself or the groom and bride buy and hang their welcome sign? And with the copper sign did you make it by yourself?

    • @CarlyKeller
      @CarlyKeller  2 года назад +1

      For local orders I have a whole collections or different style easels to go with different style signs. The only easels I ship are the copper ones since they can easily break down

    Your videos are amazing, glad I came across your channel as I’m just starting out! Not sure if you can share (totally get if you can’t) but just wondering at what point do you run the design back to your customer; especially when you use colours? ☺️

    • @CarlyKeller
      @CarlyKeller  2 года назад +1

      Thank you so much, Amrit! If I'm working with a custom order or new colors I almost always create a small demo for the client to have a better idea how the colors will look! I make these on scrap acrylic

    How do you reuse an acrylic sheet with paint at the back? Is there a product or technique you recommend to take off the paint?

    • @CarlyKeller
      @CarlyKeller  2 года назад

      I reuse these by peeling the vinyl off any keeping the back/color the same!

  • @kristinaromanova1463
    @kristinaromanova1463 2 года назад +1

    How do you clean the signs when they return to you? From paint, because erasing stickers i saw that you made video about it.

    • @CarlyKeller
      @CarlyKeller  2 года назад

      Only local orders are rentals and I peel the vinyl off and reuse the material it is on. I don't remove paint from acrylics. It is too time-consuming with expensive cleaners that ruin the acrylic 😩

  • @tiffaniewynne3108
    @tiffaniewynne3108 3 года назад +1

    What font size do you use on the names for something this large? I'm stumped on the sizing for the names.

    • @CarlyKeller
      @CarlyKeller  3 года назад +1

      Each name is different so I always add a placeholder in Cricut Design Space to know exactly how much room I'm working with!

      I just use a lighter pressure!
