This rocket is an old Estes Broadsword that I finished in classic “Bertha” colors in 2007. It looked bare on one side, so I decided tonight to cut a custom Super Big Bertha decal for it on my Cricut. I liked the idea of dropping a red “SUPER” into the black “BIG BERTHA” vinyl, rather than overlaying it. Cricut has a Slice function that will cut out overlapping layers, and then you remove the parts you don’t need.

The Cricut is one of the most fascinating tools I’ve ever used. Here are a few shots of the rocket from several sides, plus close-up of the sliced “B”.
