Glow in the Dark Bottle Gift Bag for Silhouette UK

Hi, On the Silhouette UK Blog today I've designed the decal for this Halloween bottle bag using heat transfer materials. It is designed in the Silhouette Studio software, and the materials are cut with a Silhouette Cameo, and applied using a heat press (an iron would work too).

The magical element is the glow in the dark HTV which glows really brightly when the lights are doused, and contrasts well with orange flocked heat transfer.

To make the decal I used a partial "knock out" design technique on one of the words using a ghost design. The post on the Silhouette UK Blog describes how to do this for yourself.

The Silhouette Glow in the Dark Heat Transfer is a dream to weed and apply and gives a fun effect.

FREE Weekly File - Daisy Brush Script Bottle Bag

The new FREE file in the Silhouette Design Store this week is The Daisy Brush Script. 

Brush typefaces are very popular at present, giving the look of hand-painted brush strokes.  The Daisy Brush Script is a great example, with nice thick upper case letters, just perfect for cutting projects AND it is available for FREE until 14th March 2016!

I made this easy Heat Transfer project using the Daisy Brush Script file and just two others from the design store. I have written a tutorial on how to put together this design for yourself and you can read the full post over on the Silhouette UK Blog

NOTE: Daisy Brush Script is a file and NOT a font. You cannot use it with the text tools, but open it in a new document then copy and paste the letters you need into your project.

Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) comes in a number of finishes. In this project I used two; glitter and flock, they are all applied in a similar way. I'll cover tips and hints on applying Heat Transfer material in a later post, but meantime time this document from Silhouette America shows just how easy the Silhouette Heat Transfer Material. can be applied.

I hope you try out this project, especially if you haven't used HTV before. I should worn you though, once you start you'll be hooked!
