Love this can’t wait to try it

[@KatieAdams]

Thank you!

[@daltonricketts6799]

very easy to understand. thank you for sharing. have you tried welcome vertical signs yet? i need help with that as well

[@KatieAdams]

Thank you so much, I haven't wood burned vertical signs but I did make this porch sign with a Cricut stencil. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYSkfpqIl6dnj7M

Did you mirror the image?

[@KatieAdams]

Since I am using the vinyl as a stencil I did not need to mirror.

[@nicolasschwarz8975]

Not sure what I’m doing wrong but still bleeds through. Looks like through the wood but not under the vinyl.

[@KatieAdams]

It will bleed a little bit. Make sure that you have a paper towel close by and are dabbing off the excess ink. It really doesn't take that much of the ink.

What kind of vinyl are you using?

[@KatieAdams]

I used removable vinyl.

Is is food safe?

[@KatieAdams]

I go into more detail here: thecraftyblogstalker.com/personalized-cutting-board-gift/ This is a constant debate, and since I am not a doctor or a scientist I can't give you a 100% answer. But if you are worried about it you can always play it safe and only use the back of the board for food prep.

I’m so disappointed because this did not work at all 😢 I spent hours getting everything set up and following your directions and the heat gun did not burn anything, except the vinyl around it.

[@KatieAdams]

Oh no, I am so sorry, maybe you need to apply more ink from the wood burn marker. Try testing the marker on a separate piece of wood to see how it reacts.
