i'm new here!

Post by amandafarris03 »

hello everyone just got my cricut expression on friday and having a ton of fun with it! i'm doing alot of vinyl right now so my question is what is a good vinyl for like a car? the vinyl they have at the stores looks like it comes up very easily and it meant to be removable...i want some that will stay on a car window (like monograms and kids sports stuff!)

You can read about vinyl on my blog- I have BASIC VINYL INFORMATION in the right hand column. This should help you with your vinyl questions.

For outdoor and general crafts I like the GT5 brand.
