October Update!

Although I've been quiet on here, I have been pretty busy with a few projects. They range from birthday t-shirts, to Halloween wreaths! I thought I would take a few minutes to share them with you.

Made using the Crafters Corner sparkle tulle from Dollar Tree along with bats and spiders. Lights were from my stash purchased 3 years ago at Hobby Lobby.

Made with Dollar Tree sparkle tulle, bats spiders and led lights.

I spent a day running around to several Dollar Tree stores in my area looking for the sparkle tulle, and the metal wreath rings to make these. After watching a YouTube tutorial and seeing how easy it was, I wanted to make one for myself. It's the top picture. I then made one for my daughter and a son. I was able to make these for a cost of about $10 each. And they all have led lights. It was fun, but very messy. I have glitter everywhere. The video is from 2016, and I didn't find the Halloween mesh, so I used the tulle. I still love the way it turned out.

Made using 3G jet-Opaque for the logo and Red Ranger, and black htv vinyl for the name.

Made using the 3G Jet-Opaque for the Godmother and glitter htv for the saying.

I have also been designing and making t-shirts for birthdays. I made one for my grandson's #2, (not pictured) and one for the son of a friend. The "Cinderella" themed shirt is for my granddaughter. I will also be making the svgcuts pumpkin carriage for a center piece. I have made additional shirts for the grand kids, but I don't always think to take a picture before they are "worn away"!

In the mean time my massive paper collection is sitting idle wondering when I will start using it again, while my heat transfer vinyl collection is growing. But I have my papers picked for the coach and I'll be cutting and gluing it this weekend.

Thanks for stopping by!

My Cinderella Carriage

After making my more pumpkiny carriage, I thought it would be fun to make one that was more like the one in the Walt Disney's Cinderella movie. This was the end result. It was given to my granddaughter. I used glitter paper from DCWV Shimmer stack, and a mat size from Once upon a time, also from DCWV. The little lanterns needed to have little rectangular pieces of gold glitter paper put inside so the white didn't show so much. I glued pieces on the back and bottom. I added the letter "C" to the door. It's on the Cinderella coach, but could be for my granddaughters name too. It was the Forte font.

My inspiration

I had to do some hunting for the crown sticky jewel on the lid. I finally found some at Michaels. The glitter paper does cause a challege when gluing. It takes a little more time to adhere. (I don't have much patience.) In the end I was very pleased with my carriage, and I hope it's something my little princess will enjoy for years.
