You may choose to paint the entire sheet, or leave areas bare. You can decide whether you want to only do one coat for a rustic feel or apply another. This does two things. First, it will ensure the vinyl doesn't cut the space between each letter. This is an important step when cutting cursive letters. Second, it will ensure the layout of the first and the last name is maintained when you send your project to your Cricut machine. After the rectangles have been hidden, select all of the names and attach them to the canvas. This will ensure you keep the current spacing between name sets. You don't have to do this, however I find it easier to have this spacing once I've removed the excess vinyl and added the transfer tape.

Use masking tape to lift and transfer your vinyl to the acrylic if you’re having trouble with transfer tape Repeat this process for each place card. If you are using a 12 x 12 cutting mat you can cut approximately 12 sets of place card names at a time. If you are using a longer cutting mat you can do more. Once you have all of the names entered and welded together you'll need to hide all of the rectangles you created. Otherwise, your Cricut machine will cut each rectangle. Carefully trim out each name for the individual place cards. I like to mark the center of the vinyl by drawing with a pen or marker on the transfer tape.

As you prepare your machine, you'll need to select the material you plan to cut. For this project, I used Cricut's rose gold adhesive foil. When painting your acrylic place cards, you’re going to want to do so with acrylic paint. You’ll paint on one side and use your vinyl names upon the other.
