Lettering on mountboard

Post by girlfromkent »

Hello all

I have a customer who has two large multi-aperture pieces from me with lettering stuck on the mount.

The first was vinyl a friend cut for me using her cricut, it's fine. The second was from an online vinyl lettering place. The second one has fallen off.

Does anyone have a go-to, reliable source for this stuff?
I just need black lettering, clear background or cutouts, sticky enough to stay put on glacier board. I can't change the board.

Thanks
Megan

I've got a Cricut machine. I was quite sceptical, but I use it for quite a few jobs. Second-hand they are cheap as chips.

Thanks Jeremy.

Any chance you would cut this for me and post?

Happy to pay for your time. I just really don't have time right now to work out which machine I need, source it, download design software, buy the right vinyl... just for one thing I'm planning never to offer again!

Hi, sorry to jump onto this post but this sounds interesting. Can I see the finished product please? It sounds like something I could introduce into our shop. Cheers, Steven
