inspire you to create along with me.
I’m a wife to one awesome guy & a busy mom of 5 wild & crazy kiddos. I love to blog, garden, craft, organize & most of all be with my family.
I’ve been blogging for almost 4 years.I love keeping a journal of our family,but I thought our family blog was gettinga little overrun with all my craftiness.So, that’s when I decided it was time to part ways& start my very own craft blog.So that’s how Ginger Snap Crafts started.

One of the wonderful things about blogging is the wonderful people you get to meet. :)
I am so excited to be guest hosting today while Jill is having tons of fun at Vacation Bible School.
We had a HUGE problem at our house
...by the end of the day every single cup in the house would be used! Ugh!
So our solution was to give each family member their own personalized cup!
We were to use that cup
all.day.long.
Guess what?
It worked! :)
I know we just met, :)
but if you knew me you'd know that
I've had a little obsession
with vinyl for quite a while now,
but let me introduce you
to my new favorite {cast vinyl}.
It's awesome!
Cast vinyl is a durable vinyl.
It can be run through a dishwasher,
& it doesn't come off.
Cool, huh?
So, here's how I made our cups!
I got my cups from Walmart
4 for $1.00.
You can't beat that!
Any cup will do though...they don't have to be new!
First you need to cut
your family names in cast vinyl
or you can buy them here.
If you do have a vinyl cutter,
then cast vinyl is cut just like regular vinyl.
It's a little thicker than regular vinyl,
so on my Silhouette I had to
adjust the thickness setting to an 8.
(I get my cast vinyl from signwarehouse.com.)
Love those guys!

Vinyl (including cast vinyl) comes in 3 layers:
the transfer tape, the vinyl & the backing paper.
Gently rub on the back of your backing paper.
Flip over & then slowly peel back the transfer paper.
Your vinyl should stick to it.
If not put it back down, rub the back & try again.

Yes, these are the ones we use everyday
& they have been washed a bunch.
The vinyl is still there!
Love it! :)
