Flag Day Banner Tutorial With Anita

June 14, 2018June 13, 2018

Hi Everyone:

Happy Flag Day. Anita here with a banner that you can use for Flag Day as well as for the Fourth of July, Memorial Day and any other day that you want to celebrate our great country. I used several different cut files of Lori’s to create this banner.

Happy Birthday Banner – 2 SVG,  Silhouette
Layered Pinwheel SVG,  Silhouette
3D Lori Whitlock Spiral Flower SVG,  Silhouette
5X7 Box Card 4th of July SVG , Silhouette
American Flag SVG,  Silhouette
3D USA Décor Blocks SVG, Silhouette

I love mix and matching Lori’s cut files to create new projects. I am going to show you how I prepared the fabric for cutting in my Silhouette machine.

Here are the supplies that I used for this project. Terial Magic is a wonderful product that comes in a spray bottle and you can get it on Amazon or at your local quilt shop. I sprayed the fabric liberally and checked the back side to make sure that it was soaked on both sides. I hung the pieces on my shower rod to let them drip to just damp. I recommend you put something under where you hang the fabric so that it doesn’t make a mess. It’s sticky, and rubber gloves might have been helpful to use as well.

Here is a photo of the fabric as I was in the process of ironing it. You can see the bottom left looks still darker and wet and the right part is done and the fabric feels like paper. I ironed my fabric on a towel to absorb any extra of the Terial Magic Fabric Stabilizer.

You can see how this fabric stands up once it is ironed.

I used the strong grip mat from Cricut and a brayer to make sure that the fabric didn’t move. You will want to slow down your cutter in addition to choosing fabric as your material to be cut.

I laid out the blocks to see how they would look and switched around the banners and embellishments.

Earlier in the week on Tuesday we had our June blog hop and I have included a photo with the quilt block centerpiece and the banner that I made. I am going to put this out for the 4th of July.

Hugs,

Anita

The Sweetest 3D Gift Box with Michelle

June 11, 2018June 9, 2018

Hello! Michelle here today to share the sweetest little 3D Camper that’s also a clever little gift box!

You can find SVG files to make this 3D Camper at the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop or at the Silhouette Design Store. I used papers from the Sweet Baby Girl line by Echo Park Papers, but I’m certain that this would look great with any papers for any occasion. Lori has a video tutorial that makes this so fun and easy to put together. It’s my new favorite project! (the 3D Tree is also available here in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop and at the Silhouette Design Store)

3D Camper Trailer Gift box

There’s so much room the box. Perfectly sized to hold candy and gift cards, or jewelry and small toys. It would also be great for Birthday Party favors. Lori also has a larger 3D Camper that would make a great centerpiece for the party table. That would be such fun party decor! Its so fun to make little things that you know everyone will love.

Thanks for letting me share today.

Happy Crafting!

-Michelle

Print n Cut Teacher Cards Tutorial with Brigit

June 7, 2018June 6, 2018

Hello there, here’s a quick tutorial on how I print n cut these Teacher thank you sentiments for cards in Cricut Design Space.

For the A2 shaped box card pencil I ungrouped the whole project, selected the thank you teacher and flatten it.

When it’s unflatten the outlines are gone, but it will still cut out just the oval.

When you make it, you will send to printer first and then place on mat to cut.

The A2 chalkboard teacher card I added one of the teacher thank you tags to the chalkboard piece. When I imported the tags they were black so I ungrouped, deleted the ones I wasn’t using, selected the top layer of the one I wanted, selected arrange at the top and moved to back and changed the color to white.

So now you can see everything on the tag.

I just wanted the thank you to print out on the chalkboard so I moved the apple and deleted the tag, selected the thank you and attached, and changed one of the letters on the thank you to white which changed all of the letters.

I ungrouped the chalkboard card, deleted what I didn’t want to use, resized and center aligned the thank you over the chalkboard leaving room for the apple. I selected both and flatten, now it will print n cut.

I cut out both projects together using my Cricut Maker, this way I could print both thank you sentiments at one time. You can see the two print n cuts below.
