Vinyl Pillow

It's Sandy from Ukiah here again.  I had something totally different that I was going to post, but it didn't work out.   So I had to come up with another plan.  I liked this one better anyway.  It is really an easy project, it just takes a bit of time to get it completed.

Isn't this about the cutest thing ever!  I saw this and just had to make one for my friend's grandson.

Then it turned out so cute I have decided to make each of my kids one for Christmas.  But instead of the dog I am going to put a red heart. (my kids are all grown up, but I think it's adorable).

So the first thing you need to do is get a pillow, I like the black pillow with the white vinyl lettering, but you could use any color of pillow and what ever color vinyl you want for the lettering. 

You need to use the HTV vinyl. I used my Silhouette, you can use the Explore, but I liked using the Silhouette for this project.  You cut out the design on the HTV vinyl .  Don't forget to mirror your design.  It looks like there is nothing there, gave me a little scare the first time I used the HTV.  But it is there. 

The next step is weeding it.  This is what it looks like after you are done with the weeding.  With the HTV vinyl you don't need transfer tape.  

 So now you are ready to  put it on your pillow and press it with your iron.  I don't have a heat press (but I am getting one, I am very excited about that).

And here is the final result... I am really pleased with it.  And like I said it is really an easy project, it just takes a bit of time to it.  Thank you for stopping bye and I hope you enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed making it. And thank you again for having me as one of your guest designers Sheila.

Welcome Baby

Good morning - Adrienne from Eagle Canyon Arts.  It's always a pleasure to be a part of Sheila's talented Sassy Lady design team.  Thank you, Sheila.

A baby's arrival is always special.  Here's a card for some friends of ours who are expecting. 

Close To My Heart Supplies needed:

Blossom Papers (X7196B)
B is for Baby Stamp (D1561)
4 My Friend Stamp (retired)
Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge (Z1686)
Sweet Leaf (Z2153), Sunset (Z2191), and Sunflower (retired) inks 

The stamp collection provides the cutting size (height) information to use on the "Welcome Baby" stamp.  It also tells where to look in the book for the shape, which is helpful.  I raised the cut out up using 3D squares.  Edges of sections were distressed with Sweet Leaf ink.

Inside, a cute rocking horse and sentiment.  This was a quick project even using the Cricut machine (I used my Gypsy, too!) to cut the front stamp frame.  Hope you enjoyed it!

Blessings, 

Psalm 57:1 - 11

Quick and Easy Baby Shower Banner

Hello!

Life is a busy around our house. We are expecting our 3rd grandchild in just a few weeks. Last week we hosted a baby shower for him and his parents. It was a lot of fun and we were so happy to meet the other side of our grandsons family and so many of the parents friends!

Here is Mommy and our little grandson, Dalton Edward. They are ready for his first Halloween for sure! 

I used Cricut Create A Critter to make his oh so easy and cute baby banner. This is one of my go to cartridges! 

The Penguins are adorable and perfect as he is a winter baby. They were cut at 5.5 in height.

The igloos are cut at 4 in height. The font is from Life's A Beach. 

We used painted laundry puns and some twine to hang the two banners. Baby shower banners do not get easier than this one!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Blessings,

Donna Lee

Eight Weeks - Our First Glimpse Of Grand Baby #3!

Hello Fellow Crafters!

Sorry this post is a little late getting posted! Thanks Sheila for letting me share on your blog today.

We have some exciting news to share. Our youngest son and his girl friend are expecting our 3rd grand child in early December!  Proverb 17:6 says that Grandchildren are the crown of the aged, and the glory of children is their fathers. We are blessed with two already and are looking forward to spoiling yet another one!

Today's post is for our little 'Baby Bean' first page in its scrapbook.  Naturally we don't know the sex of it at this time so I went with some Graphic 45 Once Upon A Springtime Collection and a few scraps from my scrap stack that I've yet to file away.

 

 

I used my Gypsy and two of my favorite Cricut cartridges from Close To My Heart.  The scallop circles were cut from Art Philosophy and the frame was cut from Artbooking.

 

 

 

I had just one sheet of the K&Company Neopolitan Chocolate Dots paper and my Cricut did not cut it perfectly.  I am one to use what I have and make it work for my layout so I inked up the edges and placed on my embossed Bazzil card stock. 

 

 

 

The smaller scallop was cut from  Graphic 45 Once Upon A Springtime Collection Fairy Folk and it cut perfectly as its a little thicker card stock.  I inked it with a Color Box Chalk ink pad as well.

 

 

 

I framed our first ultra sound picture of Baby Bean with a frame from the Artbooking Cricut Collection. The photo is backed with a scrap of celery card stock.

 

 

 

I have these two heart stamps in my supplies. They are from Hero Arts and A Muse Artstamp. I stamped them on more coordinating card stock scraps using a dark chocolate ink and fussy cut them.

 

 

A friend of mine blessed me with this stamp and its un-mounted so I am not at all sure who made it, but its cute and I though it was fitting for this layout.

 

 

I found this chatterbox ribbon in my supplies and think it adds a feminine touch to the layout.

 

 

For my title I went to my Silhouette Studio and cut my title out using AR CHRISTY font on my computer.  I cut it from a piece of Baja Blue card stock from Stampin Up!

 

 

My title was added using some dimensional adhesive and I added a few metal baby accessories to the layout from my supplies. 

 

 

Thanks for coming by today! I already have a new ultrasound picture, so I'll be back with another baby themed layout next month. I'll try to squeeze a photo in of the parents to be on that one too!

 

Blessing and His Peace,

 

Donna Lee

 

 

12X12 Baby Girl Layout - FeaturingArtbooking Cricut Collection

Hello Crafty Friends, Donna Lee here from http://stampinnscrapinwithdonnalee.wordpress.com. Thank you Sheila for allowing me to share here at She's A Sassy Lady.

Today I want to share a 12x12 scrapbook layout that my friend Olivia and I put together using the Close To My Heart Artbooking Cricut Collection.

The coordinating page for this layout is on a prior post on my Wordpress blog. http://stampinnscrapinwithdonnalee.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/sweet-baby-12x12-layout-featuring-artbooking-cricut-collection/

We used the star overlay from the Artbooking Cricut Collection cut at 11" and then cut it using our paper trimmer to just use one of the panels.

Next we used the same key with the Icon feature and used my Gypsy or CCR to size the star to fit as a layer on top of our overlay. We cut it from some pink glitter paper. it really looks great in person. You can see that we popped them up using some dimensional tape and added the perfect bling from Olivia's stash to highlight one of the stars.

We added a few more embellishments and made a layered photo mat to hold a 5X7 photo. All of the other embellishments are from different manufactures as these layouts are for a baby shower activity for Olivia's niece. The participants at the shower will be given a kit to assemble two 12X12 layouts. They can arrange the layouts anyway they want to. 

I appreciate your stopping by today and hope you'll come back to see what else we are Stampin and Scrapin up in my Studio at:http://stampinnscrapinwithdonnalee.wordpress.com
