Creating a Gift with a Silhouette Machine

I am creating a last minute gift for my husband.

cold brew coffee tumblers using the Silhouette vinyl cutter

 He didn't want much for Christmas and frankly he returns everything so I thought I'd get him some of his favorite cold brew coffee. 

My husband loves cold brewed coffee and one of his favorites is Grady's. 

This bag is a cold brew kit. You can make the cold brew coffee inside your refrigerator.

 Sounds like a great idea so I ordered it. 

Next I wanted to give him a cup to go with it. You should check out the Grady's website, they have all kinds of cold brew coffee choices including gear!

I decided to make a tumbler myself so I created a vinyl sticker using my Silhouette Cameo. I love my vinyl cutter and by trial and error I learn something new every day. 


Like today... I created a sticker just like the Grady's logo. (With their permission of course) I was able to reproduce the label by uploading the image, changing the color, and importing it into the Silhouette program.

See below for more ideas using the cutting machine. 


I cut the vinyl then applied it to a clear drink tumbler using transfer paper.

 The cup came out amazing so I made 2.

 I'm super excited to give my husband this gift for 
Christmas because I think he's going to really like it!

And the best part is... he can't return it!

    Great gift idea, I finally got my Silhouette and holy cow you were right a bit of a learning curve but I like how it will open the door to so many neat creative projects, like this. I figure I give it an hour a day for a month and then I should have that thing figured out in a snap. Have a Merry Christmas!
