 It's fall y'all and we replaced our welcome sign with something fall. We'll show you how we did it right now Welcome back guess what time of year it is. It's my favorite time of year. It's fall y'all So we need a new porch sign and we're just in luck that we messed our last porch sign up That said welcome if you saw it, I'll put the link up over here somewhere So one where we flipped all the letters they were upside down and backwards and our O is both upside down and backwards We're gonna repurpose our welcome sign. We're gonna spray paint it white distress it and throw some lettering on it We're gonna cut out our cricket stencil using vinyl this time so that we don't Flip the letters Yeah, we'll make sure that they don't end up Swapped all right, so let's get into design space and knock this sucker out Yep, we're gonna show you how we do it from start to finish right here. We'll switch over to my screen I'll show you what I'm doing in design space and then we'll cut the letters Okay, we're gonna start in design space with our blank canvas. I already downloaded a vertical fall y'all SVG file so let's go ahead and Import my upload which is right here So We've decided we don't really want the welcome So we're going to ungroup this take off the welcome delete and we wanted to say it's fall y'all So we're going to add some text in here That says it Went out to default comm to find a font that somewhat matched Fall y'all and I found this Anderson Anderson Thunderbirds are a go Right here thought that looks like it matches. So we're gonna go with that and We're gonna take a copy of it's fall y'all put it up here at the top so that we can use that to guide the correct size of it's So here we can see y'all is 0.635 inches tall. So let's make it's 0.635 inches tall. So we know we're working with the same height and This one looks a little fatter. So I'm gonna unlock it and I'm gonna resize it a little bit Make it a little bit wider. I think that looks pretty good right there And I know this this apostrophe isn't the same so Let's go ahead and slice out the apostrophe from y'all and put it into it So the way we do that is you're gonna add a shape in here This little square and we're gonna use that for our slicing Grab it put it right over this little apostrophe right here There we go select them both the box in y'all and We're gonna say sliced and So now you'll see I have my own version of The apostrophe, so I'm gonna take out and delete everything else and Just save the apostrophe and now I've got to remove the apostrophe from it's so you can Ungroup these letters take out the apostrophe and And add the apostrophe in right here see Let's align these to the top make sure they're Aligned That looks pretty good Now we want to see what size y'all the spacing between y'all and the L Match that spacing looks like it's about a half of an inch So I'm gonna group these together and put these At about the same spacing That looks about right All right, now we're gonna group everything together Put it up here in the left hand corner if you just drag and drop it up there or click it right into zero zero on the left-hand side and We think we said before we're working with 58 inch length and about 11 and a half inches wide So let's put this thing at 11 and That makes us just a little bit too long you see here now our height this 58 point seven four nine Which will probably work for our board, but I'll go ahead and make this just a little bit smaller Maybe let's try 10 point seven five But to set 57 and a half that looks good And next you'll see that because the height is 57 and a half our Cricut won't cut a length that long So we're gonna break that half in half into two files that are no longer than 24 inches long So here now we're gonna ungroup everything We're gonna group just what we can fit on one map What does that look like? hmm That a is good to be too far down. So let's do it this way Let's bring it down a little bit Move all of these in the top left and now what are we looking at 26? We're still a little bit too Long for one mat. So what we can do is we can cut it in multiple mats. That's how we do that Let's just do the Ungroup this all of these we look over to the right. We should be able to see what we have here We do not want to The a In this bunch Now we have one group It's and the F That's one group. Now. Let's see how far down This becomes 21 inches we can group those and Then this L will group those So this group then becomes 14 inches, okay? So we have three groups. We'll cut them in three mats and I'll meet you back here with the board and we'll start the stencil So we have all of our stencils now cut and transfer paper applied Right on time and we have the welcome sign painted white and distressed This was our welcome sign with the two pickets that cost like a dollar or something apiece dollar fifty apiece We just repainted it white and sanded it down again Alright, so let's apply our stencils and start painting If you want to do that Painted we're gonna give it a minute to dry and then we're gonna add a little bit more red to our orange to give it a darker flavor And come in with super bright dry brush to give us some shadow In the meantime, I'll paint this maple leaf accents While we're letting it dry. I found a can of orange sparkle paint So I kind of hit it, but it was a little translucent so It gave it just a little bit of like glitter sparkle thing, so Now we're gonna just give it some extra color make it pop a little bit using some dry red dry brush red like really dry brush Like I'm gonna dab it in the paint and then like really dry it off Is it gonna be red around the edges like really red? No like All right, see how I was just dabbing the sheet like I'm dabbing That's how dry it is All right And then you just come in around like the cracks to the cracks. You're giving it that ombre look Yeah Is that ombre? It's gonna ombre your fall time Don't kill the creativity, babe All right, let's peel it off and see what it looks like. Let's do it Hold on. Let me get this uh I was doing a leaf that we're gonna embellish on it using crafting words Looking great Let me stand it up so I can decide what I want on it. All right What do you think so far? All right, we're gonna add some stuff on the top. All right. Oh easy on the floors. Yeah, easy on the floor Yeah, skizzers at the right Good thing we got Tulsi on it.
