Here are two "Sports Decals" I did for my car. My DD plays volleyball and my DS plays football for their middle school. The football team orders decals and magnets for the parents' cars but we don't for volleyball. So, I wanted something for each of my children. I created these using the Sports Mania Cartridge for the volleyball, the volleyball player and the football. I used Basecamp for the font for the name of the school and their names and his number. I used white wallpops. These were cut at around 3 inches I believe. I originally did 5 inches and they were way too big!!! I am not including a .cut file as they should be fairly simple to recreate. However, do not hesitate to ask for one or for help should you have problems with it. Simply layout the design on your DS screen and "cut". Then "weed out" the excess pieces of your vinyl that you don't need. For example, remove the pieces "inside" the volleyball, the "lines," the player, and the actual letters (be sure to leave the "insides" of any letters like the "B" and the "a"). Then remove the extra pieces around the outside of the cut.
Once you have your "design" as it should appear on your window, transfer it to the transfer tape per the tape's instructions. This should put the "outside" of your design down on the transfer tape with the sticky part of the vinyl up. No go place it on your car window and "rub" the design down. Note - this method is done on the OUTSIDE of the car window. Mine has been on the car for almost a month now with LOTS of rain and is still sticking no problems. No fading since I used the white wall pops to start with.
Be creative and do this for most any sport or activity your child participates in! Have fun.

My DD plays MS volleyball and loved this decal (have that we bought on one vehicle but need another) and since I'm fairly new to the Design Studio software I was wondering if you could tell me how you got rid of the volleyball lines where you put the school and your daughter's name
Hi Nicole. Just saw your question - glad it was just 2 days ago since I hadn't checkec the blog in a while due to vacation, illness, etc! It's been about a year at lest since I did these decals so I THINK to get rid of the volleyball lines I used the "hide contour feature" in Design Studio. This allows you to "remove" (hide) lines that you don't want to cut. Please let me know if you don't know what I am talking about and I an try to explain better. Thanks for stopping by. Melanie
Thank you so much. I had not heard of this feature before but was able to find some instructions online so I was able to make it work.
THANK YOU AGAIN!!!! My daughter will be so happy to have another decal.
Would you be able to upload the svg file for the football?
Thanks!!
Alexis - Unfortunately, the football I used is not an .svg file but a Cricut .cut file created with DS and a copyrighted image from Provocraft's SportsMania cartridge. As a result, I cannot create an .svg file from it. However, I am sure that you can google football .svg files and/or football clipart and find a football that you could easily create into an .svg file that you could use. Thanks for stopping by. Let me know if I can help in any other way. If you will leave an e-mail address when you comment, I can get back in touch with you more easily. I would ensure it was not published in the comment. Thanks. Melanie
