    Time for Some Teacher Appreciation Video Tutorial

    Here is some Teacher Appreciation Ideas!

    Here are the steps I took make the Teacher Appreciation Gifts

    Step 1 – Open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). Size the file elements as need for the project you are making. I used weeding boxes to help me weed my vinyl. This is especially important when doing the key chains. Cut your vinyl out. Make sure all your pieces are cut before ejecting from the cutting machine.

    Step 2 – I started with the journal and cut those pieces first. Then while the keychain vinyl was cutting I worked on the journal. Weed your vinyl. Once that is done take your transfer tape and apply it to the vinyl. Then I used parchment paper and applied my vinyl\transfer to that. Decided where i wanted it placed and then removed the parchment paper and squeegee down the vinyl. I did this same step for the second word and the applied my accents.

    Step 3 – Now for the keychains. I cut the wands off of the lip gloss tubes. Then I removed the eraser for the top. I took a small about amount of E6000 and applied it to the top and put the eraser back on the top. Let dry. I then took the baby oil and glitter (make sure your glitter is ready to use) I put the baby oil in the tube. Do not fill it up all the way. Then add your glitter. I used a piece of paper underneath to help with clean up. Now…there is such a thing as too much glitter!! You want them to galaxy float. Now decide if you need any more oil. I need a little air bubble at the top. The tubes I recommend have a plug that comes with them. BONUS! I put the plug in and then added some E6000 glue and put the cap on. You want to glue them shut to make sure you dont have an accident! Once this is done wipe your pencils with alcohol and cotton pad to get off any left over glitter and stuff. Let dry.

    Step 4 – Now weed your vinyl. Lessons learned. The bigger words you can weed easily. However, the smaller ones were a bugger! Reverse weeding did help a little, however, I applied the vinyl with weeding box to the pencil and then weeded it. Be careful not to scratch them though Once I figured this out it went relatively quickly.

    Step 5 – Now to finish the key chains. Take your needle nose and eye screw and attach it to the top. You want to make sure you go into the metal of the cap for good hold. I then opened the eye screw and fed in the key chain. Closed off the screw. Next take your jump ring and attach to the jump ring at the top. Add you tassel and apple charm. Close your ring. Now admire how stinking cute they are!!!

    Step 6 – Wine Glass. Cut out your vinyl. While that is cutting I took the glass, alcohol and the cotton pads and cleaned the glass. Let dry. Weed your vinyl. Once that is done I actually put the words together before applying to the glass. I used parchment paper again to line everything up. Then used parchment paper to apply the vinyl to the glass. Add your accents. How is is that!!! It’s so cute and fun!!

  • Word Search Time!

    Word Search Time!

    12PD Family Word Search

    I love games!!! I love to take time out to do a Word Search especially. So I thought I would so do something different and make a Family Word Search SVG Cut File. I even did a brush stroke behind all the words to you can hang it on, etc. This is a free file in the Freebie Library. I have also created a video tutorial along with a directions below on how I made my sign. The sign I am using I bought at the Dollar Tree. So it is a fun and inexpensive project to do! However, let your creative go and have fun with it. You could print it on vellum or a transparency too!! I also thought it would be super cute on a chalk board!!! Have fun and share your creativity!

    Family Word Supply List

    • Cutting Machine and software
    • Family Word Search Cutting Files from the Library (click on the link)
    • Vinyl– I used Starcraft for the black vinyl and the shimmering vinyl is StyleTech 2000 Ultra Glitter – 160 Sea Foam Green from 143vinyl (link is here)
    • Weeding tools, scissors, cutting knife, painters tape, parchment paper and transfer tape
    • Sign blank – I purchased my from the Dollar Tree #dollartreediy 
    • Alcohol
    • Acetate
    • Cotton Pads

    Family Word Search Video Tutorial

    I would like to note at 45 second in the video I go through how to pull it into Cricut Design space. At 4:45 I work in Silhouette Studio.

    Here is some more Inspiration!

    Here are the steps I took make the Word Search

    Step 1 – Open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). Again, I would like to note at 45 second in the video I go through how to pull it into Cricut Design space. At 4:45 I work in Silhouette Studio. Size your cut file to the size of blank you are using. I am using a 7×7 Sign from the Dollar Tree. Since i was using a glass blank i reversed the paint stroke so you would adhere to the glass from the back side. If you are laying your letters on top of the brush strokes you will not have to do this. Also, I used weeding boxes around my elements. For the word search portion I easily could have used more to make the weeding process easier. Cut your vinyl out. Make sure all your pieces are cut before ejecting from your cutting machine.

    Step 2 – While our vinyl is cutting lets prep our blank. I used acetone and cotton pad to remove the saying on the sign. I did a acetone, swipe, fold pad, acetone, wipe, etc technique. Otherwise it smears it and takes longer to clean. Once that was done I use alcohol on a cotton pad and wiped the glass. I do this to make sure I get a nice clean surface. Set aside to dry.

    Step 3 – Now that everything is cut lets weed our vinyl. I was using an Ultra glitter and it was thicker. I needed to adjust my settings a little more because while it did cut it could have used another pass or a little more force for a cleaner cut. I ended up doing a reverse weed on the paint strokes to weed my vinyl. When weeding the word search letters I found it was easier for me to weed bottom up. I also pulled the vinyl back to 90 degrees and slowly slid it up. I also periodically cut off the extra vinyl. There were a few spots that I lost a few letters, however, no big deal. Cut some extras out and put them on the backing. I could see the indents so it made it easy to place them. The font is also whimsical enough that it does not have to be perfect. I used a pin pen to get the centers out of the tiny letters. It worked perfect!

    Step 4 – Once you have everything weeded lets apply the vinyl. I used the hinge method. This is where I laid my transfer down. Positioned where I wanted it and then used a piece of painters tape across the center of it. Then I lifted half away from the backing. Cut the backing off and placed and squeegee it down. The repeat for the other half. It made it really easy to get a good clean placement. Remove your transfer tape. Again, I pulled it back on itself to help pull it off. If I found an area that didn’t stick push that area down and rub it on. Next put family down, squeegee and remove the transfer tape.

    Step 5 – Now for the paint strokes. Since it was going on the back of the glass i grabbed a piece of parchment paper and attached the paint stroke to that leaving transfer tape exposed on the top. Then I could slide it around until I had the placement i wanted. Attached that top transfer tape piece. Lifted up the transfer tape and removed the parchment paper. Then laid down the transfer tape and squegee down. Remove your transfer tape.

    Step 6 – Admire your work! You did an amazing job!!!

  • Did Someone Say Hello Spring?

    Did Someone Say Hello Spring?

    Hello Spring Round SVG - Hello Spring Round File - Cricut Silhouette - svg/dxf/png/eps - Digital Download

    Hello Spring and Happy Easter! Did someone say Hello Spring Round?? Oh…that’s right I did! Today I have 2 files for you. They are both Hello Spring, however, one has flowers on it and the other has a cute heart. In my video tutorial I am actually going to do both on a 12″ round that is ⅛” thick. The reason I am doing both sides is my front door is glass and I want to see a pretty side too!

    Supply List

    • Cutting Machine and software
    • Hello Spring Cutting Files from the Libray (click on the link)
    • Vinyl– I used Starcraft for the solid and the pretty glitter pattern vinyl is from Expressions Vinyl Mystery box
    • Weeding tools, scissors, cutting knife, and transfer tape
    • Wood Round – I used 12″ rounds from Amazon
    • Sand paper, paint brush, sponges and glue gun (to glue the bow on)
    • Paint – I used Waverly White chalk paint
    • Wood beads for the hanger – I used some raw beads I painted and then strung on jute. I show this in the video.
    • Items to finish it off sign – I used jute, ribbon and floral picks

    Hello Spring Video Tutorial

    Here are some Hello Spring images for you!

    Step 1 – Take your wood round and sand it. Because I am doing both sides I sanded both. Once you have that done apply your paint. I ended up having to do 2 coats on one side and the other side only needed 1 coat. Set aside too dry. Preferable over night. However, I can be impatient and will use a heat gun to make sure it is nice and dry.

    Step 2 – Next open the SVG file in your cutting software (note: if you have the free version of Silhouette studio you will need the DFX files). I did save the designs as 12×12. However, if you are using a larger round you will need to size accordingly. Once that is done cut out your vinyl. Make sure to test your vinyl cuts before ejecting your mat out of your machine.

    Step 3 – Now that everything is cut lets weed and apply our vinyl. In the video you will see I have a special helping me out. His name is Lumiere and LOVES to weed and apply vinyl. He especially loves the shiney and glitter ones (don’t we all). He will even pick those when I ask him for help! I left him in the video because he is after all 4 of the 12 Paws!!! Now, back to weeding vinyl. I did do a reverse weed on my one of my spring word pieces. I tested my first mat but not my second because I forgot it was a new file. Oooopsie. That is the great part about crafting there is always a way to fix something.

    When I was laying my vinyl down on my round I used the grid side of my mat. I then laid the strips down first. Using the markings on the mat to help me eye ball it. For the floral file I put the tulip down first, then the leave and the the other 2 flowers can go where you want them too. For the heart side put the dots down and the place the heart where you like. Then i put the words on, again eyeballing it. When I flipped the board over to do the second side i just made sure the strip of of vinyl was on one of the horizontal lines. Then laid my vinyl down.

    Step 4 – Now let us finish the round. I made a messy bow. I show the steps in the video where I cut strips of ribbon and jute and lay them down criss cross and alternating. Then I tied it off with a piece of jute. I repeated the process for the second bow.

    Step 5 – Putting the floral stems on. I cut eucalypts leaves from Walmart and floral picks from Dollar Tree. I cut the leaves down to size. Put some glue at the center top of the round and put them in the glue. I then add more glue over the top. I did 4 total stem leaves, 2 on each side. Then with the glue still hot I added a little more and placed my bow down. Press and hold for a few seconds. I then add my flowers in. I just placed them to fill in empty spots. I also add a few into the bow. Once the one side was down I flipped it over and did the same thing to the other side.

    Step 6 – Bead Hanger. I made a strand of beads for my hanger. You can purchase already painted beads or you can take plain beads and paint them. I like to put some in a cheap zip sandwich bag. Add a a little paint, zip shut with air in in and move them around in your hands to paint. You stay clean and you get really good coverage. I then dump them out onto parchment to dry. I do find that i need to do 2 coats. So after I dump them i zip the bag shut so any paint doesnt dry out and i can reuse the bag. Once they are dry I put them back in the bag for a second coat and then again back to the parchment paper. Once they are dry I string them onto just with a piece of floral wire as my threader. Tie a knot in both ends when done. I then glued the beads to the top of my round hiding the ends under the floral and bow. I even pushed a leave down on the glue to help hide and hold it.

    Step 7 – Admire what an amazing job you did!!! Take a picture and share it with me!!!!

  • Time to Hip Hop down the Bunny trail

    Time to Hip Hop down the Bunny trail

    Hip Hop Bunnies PNG - Hip Hop Bunnies Sublimation - Cricut Silhouette - PNG/Printable - Digital Download

    What an amazing week!!! I was one of the featured designers for the 123 Alumni Showcase. Shake your Bunny Tail was a huge success. If you have not posted your project please come back and post in the comments or Facebook page. I would love to see them. Now its Time to Hip Hop Down the Bunny Trail! I have designed 2 PNG\printable files for you One is a boy and the other is a girl. They make great print and cuts for kids or adult shirts, Tote bags, etc. This week in the tutorial I will be doing sublimation and then some bleach techniques on on 2 different shirts. So lets get started!

    Hip Hop Video Tutorial of My Process

    Hip Hop Bunny Sublimation and Bleaching

    Hip Hop Supply List

    • Cutting Machine and software
    • Hip Hop Bunny Images (click on the link)
    • Sublimation printer or transfer – I printed mine on a converted Epson WF7720
    • Sublimation paper – I used Asub from Amazon
    • Sublimation Ink – Right now I am using Squid ink that I purchased off of Etse
    • Heat press or easy press that can do 400 degrees
    • Parchment or butcher paper
    • Teflon sheet
    • Lint Roller
    • Shirts – I used Gildan Softstyle shirts. I used the heather version because they are 65% poly and 35% cotton.
    • Bleach (I used Clorox, regular Clorox) and spray bottle
    • Peroxide and spray bottle
    • Cardboard or something to put in the shirt during the bleach process
    • Chip brush and cup to get a little more detailed on bleaching
    • I also used Clorox
    • Rubber Bands

    Now let’s talk Sublimation and Bleaching. Remember, this is my steps. You may have a different printer and need to do things a little differently. These are the settings that I found that worked for me and have give me great results. Also, you do not have to do sublimation. These design can be used for print and cut too! The are PNG printable files. Have fun!

    Hip Hop Bunnies PNG - Hip Hop Bunnies Sublimation - Cricut Silhouette - PNG/Printable - Digital Download
    Hip Hop Bunnies PNG – Hip Hop Bunnies Sublimation – Cricut Silhouette – PNG/Printable – Digital Download

    Step 1 – I will show you my steps using Silhouette Studio. However you can use Cricut Design space or anything that allows you to print. I went into my software, sized the image to the shirt size I wanted. I then went to print and the preview showed me it was not lined up properly. So needed to make a few adjustments to get it center on my page. Once I was done I then went into the print settings on the Mac. Please watch the video. I talk and show you how I setup the print settings. I actually went through them twice for each file. Once they have printed I grabbed them off of the printer.

    Step 2 – Pressing the image. We are doing two shirts. One shirt we are going to press the sublimation print first and then bleach. So find the center of your shirt. I also put a slight crease in my sublimation print so I know where the center was there. I heated my press to 400 degrees and set my time to 60 seconds. While it was heating up I put a piece of parchment or butcher paper between the layers. This helps in case of ink transfer so it does not go onto the back side. Some people will put their pressing pillow between the layers which is fine, however, i still put the paper there so i dont get the ink on the pressing pillow. Next take a lint roller and clean off where the image is going to go. Have a good laugh in the video. I bought sticky…um yeah…they are sticky! Place your image on the shirt and when the press reach temp press for 60 seconds. Once it is done pull the paper off. I did save mine so i could use it during bleaching so that i could bleach that area better. You will see that in the video.

    Step 3 – Lets get ready to bleach. One shirt i did a swirl or spiral. I laid the shirt flat, pinch it in the center and then spun it. Make sure that you have rubber bands on hand and ready to go. Once i have it spun I used the rubber bands to hold the shirt in place. I then wet the shirt. Side note – I should have wet the center area a little better. Squeeze out extra water.

    Step 4 – I then took my shirts outside. I put plastic tote lids inside of my shirts because it was windy the day i was bleaching and didn’t want my shirts to go flying. I also used Clorox Bleach toilet bowl cleaner on one of the shirts to give it a different look. I needed a piece of cardboard under the first layer to help with absorption and drying of the bleach. So i took the toilet bowl cleaner and put it on the shirt. For me I wished i would have stayed away from the direct area where my image was going to go. Then on the spun shirt i took the bleach bottle and sprayed it. You want to get both sides. Now, I used straight bleach because I have a poyl\cotton blend. If you are are doing more cotton you want to add water to your bleach or you could get holes. Remember, you cant remove bleach so be careful. I should have hit the center of the spun shirt better than i did. However, again, no 2 shirts will be identical and you really need to play around to find what works. Again, have fun!!! Remember safety! Well ventilated area and i wore a glove if i was going to be touching bleach. Let your bleach sit and watch it. If you have a good sunny day it will help. However, sprint in Wisconsin isn’t always the warmest or sunniest so it took me a little longer.

    Step 5 – More bleaching…after the the spun shirt was dry and the same for the other shirt it was time to open and bleach the area where the image goes. I wanted that area whiter. So i used the waste from my one shirt for sizing. Then I put some bleach in a cup and and with a chip brush I bleached around the paper and then painted bleach on. I also added more spray to get the bleach splatter. I had to do the cleaner shirt a few times because of putting some right where the image was going to go. But it was a fixable!

    Step 6 – Neutralizing…Once your shirts are bleached the way you want put them in some cool water with peroxide to neutralize the bleach. Then i tossed them in the wash. It was a good time to wash my towels too! 😉

    Step 7 – Once they are washed and dried time to do the other shirt with our other print. Repeat Step 2. Now, this happened to me and others. After I pressed the shirt and lifted the top of the press I saw my shirt yellowed. I took some peroxide in a spray bottle and sprayed it well. It took 2x of doing this and drying it to get the yellow out. This can happen when you apply the image after bleaching. If you have your image and shirt I HIGHLY recommend to press first. I also recommend to wait 24 after pressing to get a vibrant image. I was to excited and literally ran and started the bleach process. Even you press at night and then do your bleaching the next day that would help. Again, these are all suggestions. You do you!!!

    • Wood board – mine was a scrap piece of 12×12
    • Sand paper, paint brush, sponges and glue gun (to glue the bow on)
    • Mini Heat Iron – I used the Cricut mini press and a teflon sheet
    • Paint – I used a mix of chalk and acrylic. Use what you have on hand. I even mixed some because it was either too dark or too light. Have fun with it. I used Blue, pink, white, purple and a dark pink
    • Items to finish it off sign – I used jute, ribbon and a really cute daisy button

    Now, lets get on to the fun part…making our sign! Check out the video tutorial for the step by step process. Below I have typed of the steps for you too!!!

    Shake your Bunny Tail – Video Tutorial


    Step 1 Sand your board. It will help with the stencil process
    Step 2 Paint your board the color you like. I mixed my paint I used white and a blueish teal color. I also did 2 coats.

    Step 3 While my paint was drying I cut my stencil material. I cut 2 pieces. One piece was the bunny and then the second piece I cut the words out. I also put a weeding box around my items to make sure i had enough room around them.

    Step 4 Next weed your stencil vinyl. REMEMBER…this is a stencil so we are take the parts out we want paint. So the bunny comes out and the letter of the words come out.

    Step 5 Now to apply the stencil to the board. Use your transfer tape. Some times your transfer tape can be a little to sticky so i will stick it to my cloths one to help take some of the stick off. Lay your transfer tape on the bunny and remove the backing. Now apply the bunny to the board. Use your words to make sure you are spacing properly. I also moved down everything down to the bottom of the board due to my finishing items. Once you have the bunny on the board make sure you press the stencil down really good and then remove your transfer tape.

    Step 6 Now again, press down your stencil material. Get those edges really good!!!! Now let’s paint the bunny. I like to use make up sponges from the Dollar Tree. I can control the paint well. I mixed my pink because I didn’t have the exact color. Once the bunny is painted pull your stencil off.

    Step 7 Let your bunny dry. A heat gun or hair dryer will help with this if you are in a hurry. Next apply your words the same way you did the bunny. Again, make sure you have all your edges pressed down really good.
    Step 8 Paint your words. Again I used my sponges and painted them. The acrylic paint needed a couple of passes vs the chalk paint. Once you have everything painted pull your vinyl off.

    Step 9 If you had any leaks you can fix with a small paint brush.

    Step 10 Now we need to apply the bunny tail. I cut mine out of Heat Transfer Vinyl Glitter. Then used my Cricut Mini Heat press to apply. Be careful to not apply too much heat.

    Step 11 Then finish your board. I used jute and wrapped it many times around the top.
    Step 12 Next i made a mess bow(directions in the video) and glued that to the top. I then glued on a cute flower button to the center and then an extra one to the board.
