CRICUT Project 2: Custom T-Shirts

My kids think the Geico Camel is HYSTERICAL and well Christmas just happens to be on HUMP DAAY this year. So months ago I started looking for t-shirts for them to use as their Christmas PJ's this year. I was about to order them this week when I remembered I could cut transfers on the CRICUT. I went from idea, to design to execution in two days! The hardest part was getting the image from Cricut online today. Something about my computer and the website are not working right together this weekend. Anyway here is the finished product my kids are going to love them. :) Just going to put them with some crazy Christmas print pj pants and TA DA Christmas Eve present DONE!   FYI: You just type what you want in the CRICUT DESIGN STUDIO and hit the FLIP side to side button at the top of the screen. This gives you the mirror image needed to cut the transfer correctly. A bunch of websites and other blogs are making it harder then it is, this was SIMPLE. Took me no time at all. 
 

CRICUT I LOVE IT!!!!! Project 1 - Teacher Ornaments

Christmas ornaments for the kids teachers. This was super easy. I used the glitter ornament tutorial found here http://theornamentgirl.com/blog/being-crafty/how-to-make-glitter-christmas-ornaments-diy/. I had done this about two years ago as gifts too and used pre cut stickers for the initials on them all. But this year I have a CRICUT!!! I created the names I wanted in the Design Studio and cut them out of vinyl, this is actually chalkboard vinyl. I bought it by accident, this was my first time trying the vinyl, I just got my Cricut the week after Thanksgiving. Anyway it WORKS! I would have likes to use white on the white glitter but I was going with what I had, the kids picked out the glitter colors.
 These and a gift card will be going to the teachers this year :)
