Hi!!! I am in love with this! Can you tell me where I can find this vinyl or can I buy it from you? I’m sorry I tried to find it in the info but my phone wouldn’t let me. I’ve been all over Etsy and can’t find it. I sure hope you can help me !! I’m sooo in love with this cup idea! Thanks so much. And if you can’t help me, thank you anyway for sharing your beautiful work and giving me inspiration!! ❤

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@coburnlowman]

What do you call this wrap design??? I love your tutorials. You explain things very well. I'm new to the vinal machine, and have looked for this design. Just not sure what to call it

[@ashleygdesigns7671]

Tooled leather. If you search for a tooled leather svg or pattern on Etsy, you will get a list of tons of options.

[@BeckyFultz]

Beautiful I love the technique but I have a stupid question what kind of vinyl did you use I'm new to all this and trying my best to learn I'm sure you use a circuit but I haven't gotten one of those yet and when I do I'd like to know what kind of vinyl to use

[@ashleygdesigns7671]

I did use a vinyl cutter. And I used 631 or temporary vinyl. Any brand would work, and it doesn’t have to be pretty, since you peel it off and throw it away. So something inexpensive would work great!

[@anaceccato7345]

I love it..

[@ashleygriffith78]

Thank you Ana!

[@suga214tx]

How long did you let the butterscotch paint dry before removing the vinyl?

[@ashleygdesigns7671]

It dries almost immediately, so as soon as you are done “playing” with the wood grain pattern, you can start to remove it.

[@Shadingoftheheart]

Fantastic tutorial and gorgeous cup! Can't wait to see what you create next!

[@ashleygriffith78]

Thank you so much, I am so glad you enjoyed it.

[@laurienoe1233]

Excellent tutorial Ashley! I hope you'll be adding more tumbler tutorials!

[@ashleygdesigns7671]

Thank you Laurie! I’ve got one coming up in the next few weeks.

[@Shadingoftheheart]

Can't wait, your designs and tutorials are amazing!!

[@mistycarr7994]

Thank you for the great video. Can I ask you how long you have been using counter cultures epoxy? Have you used any other product before them?

[@ashleygriffith78]

Thanks Misty, I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial! I have been using Counter Culture epoxy for about a year and a half. I started out using Amazing clear cast. I had no issues with it, and liked it. I have also used Faux Rizzle resin. This one just didn’t work for me. I like CCDIY the best, I live in Alabama, and the humidity here is pretty bad. I have not had any issues with curing, or fish eyes. It’s just my preferred epoxy. Plus they have a lot of other great products, fast shipping, and the best customer service!

[@mistycarr7994]

@@ashleygriffith78 Thank you!!

[@lynnesilver7386]

what did you put over the vinyl before you used the alcohol ink?

[@ashleygdesigns7671]

Matte white spray paint from Rustoleum. You could use anything though, acrylic paint, anything that dries matte.

[@rhiannalynne6240]

Great tutorial!

[@ashleygdesigns7671]

Thank you! I am so glad you liked it!

[@jessicadeangelis6681]

Do you let the alcohol ink dry before weeding your vinyl off. I’m following ur video to make my first one

[@ashleygriffith78]

I do let it dry. But it shouldn’t take that long to dry. I usually only have to wait maybe 5 minutes. Usually long enough to wash my brushes out. I do however wait at least a few hours before I epoxy. Most of the time I wait overnight! I would love to see pics when you finish it!

[@danie1477]

How long do you let it spin ?

[@maureenprimm3481]

What type of torch are you using may I ask please

[@saundraharman3973]

Do you sell the actual vinyl sheet because I don't have a cricut to do this technique?

[@ashleygdesigns7671]

I don’t sell cut vinyl myself. But I bet if you searched for tooled leather vinyl cut pattern, you could find someone who does. 😊

[@travesastrecker]

I tried this … but used permanent vinyl and was left with such a sticky residue….so removable vinyl?

[@ashleygriffith78]

I did use removable vinyl. And I also tried to work quickly. So that the vinyl wasn’t on the cup too long. I wouldn’t leave it in overnight. I think the longer it stays in the more bonding occurs, even with removable. In my experience.

[@phototec]

Great video, can I ask you where you got the pattern (artwork) for the tooled leather design? Thanks

[@ashleygriffith78]

I am glad you enjoyed the video! So sorry I forgot to put a link in the description! I got it from Uvertun’s shop on Etsy. Listing: www.etsy.com/listing/854199527/western-pattern-instant-download-floral

[@heatherlummus7633]

You don't need to clear coat before epoxy?

[@ashleygriffith78]

I don’t normally. I usually wait 24 hrs before I apply epoxy. And I haven’t had any issues with the alcohol inks turning green or different colors. If you want to epoxy right after, I would definitely use a clear coat.

[@TamynaWoods]

Where do you get vinyl pattern?

[@ashleygdesigns7671]

I purchased it on Etsy. I linked the exact pattern in the description. But if you search tooled leather svg on Etsy, you will get a lot of options. 😊

[@momoftwo7716]

Very good tutorial! I love doing peekaboos! Gorgeous cup!

[@ashleygdesigns7671]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@02Huntet]

i’m still trying to find someone on etsy who wants to cut these western scroll leather look patterns for folks and send customers the vinyl sticker ready to go! i’ll pay !!

[@Taniworld]

what about the cap?

[@ashleygriffith78]

I am not really sure what cap you are referring to.
