 Hey guys, it's Jen from iCreateCrafts. In today's video, I'll be showing you how to create these Grinch Starbucks cups. I think these turn out really good as I'm still learning how to layer things. But they were really easy to create and they will make great Christmas gifts. So let's get started and I'll show you how to make these. Alright guys, so starting in design space, I have these two files that I'm going to be using. I purchased these separately from Etsy. One thing I want to tell you really quick, if you do purchase this particular file, this one is the correct size. This one, however, is not. Obviously it's pretty big. I'll shrink my screen and show you guys really how big it is. So this is how it comes when you upload it into design space. So what I'm actually going to do is shrink my screen one more time. Select this guy and then just shrink him up. And then I'm going to make my screen full size again. And what I do is just kind of make it roughly the same size as this one. And then another thing that I do really quick and it's up to you whether or not you want to do this. So these two colors are separate. The red is not separate, different colors. So this color and this color are two separate reds. And then this green and this green are two separate greens. So instead of cutting out several different colors of the same color, if that makes sense, what I do is actually ungroup it. So with the selected, I go to the ungroup box up here and then I'm going to do that for this guy too. I'm just going to click on group. Now I can see all the colors on the side here. So what I'm going to do is actually click on each one of these red ones and change the color. So the way just to do that is click on the one you want to start with. And then I have a Mac. So mine is going to be different than yours. I'm sorry, I don't really know which button it is for a regular PC to select more than one image. But for mine, I'm going to hold the command button down and then just click on every one of these green ones. So I'm just going to go to the next one and hold down the command button and do that for each one of the red ones. So now I have all of the red attached or actually I have all of the red selected. So up here, I'm going to go to this basic cut area. Here it says a little question mark because it's saying is two different colors. So what I'm going to do is just change them to be this red color. So now when these cut out, they will be all the same color red. So I'm going to do the same thing with the green. Here this green and this green are different. So I'm going to go to the side box here and start with the first one. And then just go down and find the next one. And I'm just going to hold my command button down and then that should be it. It's just those two do the same thing. Go to a little color box up here and then change it. So that is it. Actually the white two I've noticed for whatever reason there's a different color white. So I'm going to do the same thing on here one last time. Find the white and then the other white one. I think there's only two and then select both of those. Yep, two different whites and change that to be just a regular white. So now when I go to cut it out, instead of it being different colors of the same primary color, I guess is the way to say it, it will cut out as you see it. So I love this because all you have to do is click the make it button and I'll show you really quick what it looks like. So here it is. Instead of having different mats here with different colors, it's going to be one white, one black, one red. And then oops, no, I missed one somewhere guys. I should have only this and one mat. So I screwed up somewhere and missed it. Don't do that. So I'm going to show you in case you do mess up on that. Sorry about the beeping in the background is you go to the one you want to move. Click on the three little dots up here and then select move object and then go to the one that you want it to go to. So I want it to go to this other black one. So in case you make the mistake like I did, you just have to do that and just move it over so you have enough room to get your scissors in between there and then everything else should be fine. Here's a yellow for the eyes. This black is not going to cut out because there's nothing on it. Then we have the red. What I like to do is just move things over just a tad so I can get my scissors in between here. So that's the hat and then the red eyes and then the same thing with the black here and then the white. This will cut out as one piece and then this is the sleeve to his piece. So I'm going to click continue and show you what it looks like and what materials I like to use. So since I'm putting these on the Starbucks cups, I highly, highly, highly recommend you using 651, the permanent vinyl. I was sent some vinyl from a company and I didn't realize it wasn't permanent. So I cut out about 20 of these images and started putting them on and I noticed the next day they started coming off. I'm like, oh my goodness. So please don't make another mistake like I did and just start out with 651 permanent vinyl. Yeah, so don't make the same mistake I did. So I have here for my base materials. I always use this stencil vinyl here. It just cuts it out really well for me. And what I like to do actually, I'm going to show you one more thing. I don't know if it's because my blade needs to be replaced or if it just makes it cut better. But for the pressure here, I have a maker. I actually click more and it helps so much better. I don't know you can try it out. So let me know if that works for you or let me know maybe I need a new blade. I do have a ton of new blades that I was gifted. So maybe I'll try a new blade and see. But that's just how I do it. I use a stencil vinyl and then I change the pressure to more. So I'm actually going to go ahead and cut all of these colors out. I do have multiples already cut out. So I'm going to cut some more of these out and then I will show you what it looks like when it's all done and weeded and show you the process of layering it on your Starbucks cup. So I have my files all cut out. You can see there's many of them here that we have to put together but I have them all cut out and weeded. This is what it's going to look like. So you're going to want to put a lot of layers on here. This one all I'm missing is this white piece here but I want to show you what it looks like when it's all finished. There it is. Just a couple of things here. The first thing you want to do is actually clean your cup off with some alcohol and a wipe. So you just want to take your cup and put some alcohol and a cotton pad or whatever you might have laying around but you want to just make sure you clean all of it. It's not going to take anything up. You're just cleaning all the debris or dust or finger marks or anything that might be there. So I'm going to do the front and then I'm going to do the back and I'm just holding it down at the bottom so that more fingerprints do not go on here. Alright, so while this is going to be drying I'm going to show you the first step. So you want to kind of organize this where you know the front goes with the front pieces in the back of the back. So I'm taking the white part here, the Grinch's finger, her hand and then the red ornament and then the last piece, the black part of his hand. Like I said, it's a lot of layering but once you get it going it's going to be a lot easier. So I have the white part, his hat, the green part of his face and then the black. So the first thing you're going to want to start with and you might do this differently than I do. I actually don't like layering it all together on here. I actually like layering it right on the cup itself. I want to show you really quick. I bought this off of Amazon and I don't know about it yet if I really like it or not. I'm used to putting my cups down on the table itself but this actually does help a lot. I haven't really used it much. I can't really tell you much about it but it's just simple as can be. This is it. This is how it goes but it does definitely help out. So the first part I'm going to do is take the black part and like I said you guys might layer different than I do. I like to do it directly on the cup. So I'm just going to take a piece of my transfer tape that I already had cut out and put it right on top of the file. Then you're going to want to take your squeegee or whatever you have to get all the bubbles out and put it on your transfer tape. Then what I do is like to flip it upside down and make sure all the piece comes off. So just like that. So then you're going to want to take your part and I do it on the back of this just because you don't want to see all that stuff. So taking it and trying to get it as centered as possible to go over those lines and then I like to just work my way out. So start in the middle and then start pressing out. You don't want to have any air bubbles or anything in here. You can also take your little squeegee and go on it again but I do like this cup thing. It does seem to help out a lot with getting your stuff straight. So I'm just taking it and making sure it's stuck on everywhere. Then just take a part of your transfer tape and peel it off. And this next part gets a little bit more difficult because I am layering one by one rather than taking it and layering it and then putting it on. Like I said, that's your decision and how you want to do it. So the next piece I'm going to do is actually the Grinch face. So I'm going to do the same thing. Take my transfer tape that I just used and put it right over the Grinch face. Squeegee it really well and then pull backwards again so I can see all the pieces that come off. And just take this and put it on here. I'm going to show you guys how you can get this on here. And just layer it from here. I'm just leaving a little bit of black out on the outside. Like I said, it might be easier for you guys if you actually want to layer it before you put it on but this is just how I do it. It just works out a lot better for me. So I just put it on here. You can see just like that. So there's two layers on here. So now you have to be more careful when you pull up the transfer tape that you're not pulling the black or the green off. So just like that. Then you're going to want to take, I think it's the eyes. Yeah, I'm going to take the white part. So you can't really see here but I have the hat part and then the eyes there as well. Sorry, same process again. Take your transfer tape, put it on and then I pull backwards. Make sure I get all the pieces off. So there are two eyes here. And then I have these pieces. I'm not sure what that is. I think that was from a previous one that I created. And then you just want to match it up here. So I'm matching the eyes up and kind of match the eyes up first and then I go with the hat and kind of see where that goes. But for whatever reason I have the wrong size hat. I'm just going to be honest with you instead of just going back and recutting and editing this. I did cut the wrong size hat or I might have it somewhere in my pile here. But just for the purpose of the video I'm going to show you really quick. So I'm going to put this hat on. It's going to be too small for this Grinch. But I'm just going to show you guys what it looks like. So it's just like that. Just lining it up. You don't want so much black on here like I have right now. I just, I'm not sure. Like I said, I'm always honest with you guys. If I screw up on something I'm always going to tell you and I screwed up on that. That is not what it's supposed to look like. I have another one here. This one is obviously a lot better. It just has way too much black on the side here. But just for the purposes of the video I'm going to show you just what it looks like. So I made a mistake. Make sure that you grab the correct sizes. I have a whole bunch of files over here on the side that you can't see much. So I must have messed up somewhere. So now I'm going to start with the other side. You're going to want to start with the circle part. So I have the circle part here. And then I also have the, his part of his arm here. So I'm going to take this same piece of transfer tape. I love working with the same pieces. If it's big enough. And then take your squeegee. And then just again, all we're doing is just layering it up. It might be easiest for you just to layer it up before you do it. But this is just the way that I like to do it. So now I'm basically just taking it and trying to find the center here so that it goes around the whole thing without little edges on the side. Basically, if you just want to line it up, line it up right here from the star to the circle. It should fit just perfectly. So I'm just going to take my finger, my thumb. I'm going to lay this part down to up here. That should match up exactly how I have it. So then carefully peel back. And you want to be extra careful with this because it is a circle. And sometimes circles are difficult to peel up, especially when they're so thin like this one is. So you just want to take your time with this. Okay. There we go. Here's the first part here. And then again, you're just going to want to layer. So you just want to find your next piece. This one's done. And then the next piece is the black part. I'm actually going to layer both of these together. So what I'm going to do is actually take the green part. And this is going to make the process a little bit easier. This is what I'm talking about, about putting everything together before you even start, which I don't like doing because sometimes I mess up on it. I have to get better at layering, but this is just how I do it. So I took the green part and now I'm just going to put it right on the hand. I'm going to see if I can do this holding it to show you guys how I'm doing it. But I'm just lining it up here. And then it should line up. Whoops. It should line up perfectly, once I can get it. I'm sorry guys. I got to put it down. I can't do this. I hope you guys can see this yet. It's too hard for me to hold it while I'm trying to put it up. But I will show you what it looks like when I get it on here. All right. So I have it on here. Now I'm taking the whole thing, the black part and the green part. And I put my transfer tape on it. Now I'm just going to peel it backwards. And I'm going to take this again. And now I'm going to line it up here. So I want this piece touching up here, but I also need to make sure I'm getting in with the red. Perfect. All right. So I'll show you really quick. So I had to line it up with the red here. And I'm also lining it up with the circle a little hole right there. So what I do is just take my thumb and rub it in really well. I put my heart and soul into these videos. And I really hope you guys are learning from me. So please give me a thumbs up if you do. And hit that subscribe button if you're not already. I love crafting, but sometimes it just takes a lot out of you. I'm always honest with you guys. I'm being honest. So here it is just like that. So the next part you're going to want to do is the white. Okay. So here's just the white part here. I'm not even going to bother putting transfer tape on. I'm just going to grab it off myself. And I'm just going to layer it right here on here. Just like that. I do have a piece missing here. So I'm going to have to go back and find it. But that is basically how you guys do it just like that. Here's the front again. Please make sure that you wash your cups really well before you start. Because if you don't, sometimes the vinyl will not stick. Another tip I have for you guys is to let this sit for 24 hours. Do not touch it. Do not do anything with it. Do not wash it. Nothing because you want the vinyl to have time to adhere properly to the cup. I also leave a little note in the inside saying hand wash only. Do not put in the dishwasher. So people, if they receive it as a gift, they will know that. So yeah, just a couple of tips right there. Again, a little black part. I think I'm going to take this off actually and go back and do it again. So you don't see so much black. I'm not really sure what happened there. But again, I'm learning with my layering. So if you have any tips or tricks, please let me know. If you like this video, please subscribe and give me a thumbs up. And I'd love to see you guys as projects if you're working on anything. So happy crafting everyone.
