Princessaurus Shirt

Hi all!

Today I am sharing a t-shirt I made for my cousin's daughter. She loves dinosaurs and its not too easy to find girly dinosaur shirts.

I cut this cute dino from Create a Critter at about 5 inches. I used two different colored pink heat transfer vinyl and layered the pieces. I did use my Gypsy to hide a few contours on two of the layers.

The font is from Nursery Rhymes, its 1.25 inches. I really like it and use it a lot for my girly font. I used Glitter heat transfer vinyl for the hat as well as the font. Normally I would lay out the letters exactly how I want them to be on the shirt and then cut it that way, however, I didn't want there to be too much waste with the glitter vinyl, so I cut them separately and ironed them on one at a time.

The hat was cut from Once Upon a Princess. I sized it up on my Gypsy to fit the dino's head.

After I ironed on all my vinyl, I took a few thin strips of glittery tulle and sewed them to the tip of the hat. I added a few heat set gems to the hat as well.

I am quite pleased with how well it turned out. It is the first time I ever made a shirt with this type of vinyl layering. I am eager to try more vinyl designs on clothing.

Thanks for visiting today!

Have a Great and Crafty Day!

Quick and Easy Placemats

Hi all!

I just wanted to share some quick placemats I made for my girls today.

Here is the un-laminated placemat:
I just printed a background paper using my Imagine and the Mr. Frosty cartridge. This is printed on regular cardstock.

Then I added a banner from Elegant Edges and a font from Wall Decor and More. Both were print and Cut using the Imagine and the flood fill colors from Mr. Frosty as well. I used printable vinyl as I was planning on Laminating the project and lamination works best on thinner materials.Here is my Your Story Machine. I bought this last Christmas time to make a books for gifts, and I have used it much more than I realized I would. I definitely would recommend adding this item to your crafting arsenal.
Here it is all laminated. It was hard to get a good pic without a glare on the lamination, even with my snazzy new light box. LOL
Anyway...I am planning on making the girls placemats for all the holidays/seasons this year.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a Great and Crafty Day!

Cookie Jar

Hi all!

One thing I love about having all my tools and supplies, is how easy it is to whip out a quick project.

I bought this jar at TJ Maxx the other day, because we needed a cookie jar that was clear. We tend to forget we have cookies in the house when we can't see them. They get lost in the pantry and when we had an opaque cookie jar we forgot stuff was in there. Stale cookies are such a buzz kill! LOL

I knew immediately that I wanted to use some vinyl on it. I used the From my Kitchen Cartridge. It had the Cookies phrase on it, and the cookies are also from that cartridge. I used my Gypsy to hide the gingerbread man cookie and only cut the chip cookie.

The black vinyl is permanent vinyl. I have used it to label mugs and such and washed those items in the dishwasher and the vinyl has stayed on. I am not sure of the longevity of the light brown vinyl used for the top layer of the cookies. That is Quickutz vinyl purchased from Hobby Lobby.

I love using vinyl for home decor as well as more intricate cuts for paper products. If you haven't cut any vinyl yet, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Have a Crafty day!
