When the weather outside is too cold...

 

I brought out my Cricut yesterday...my heat press adds a little extra warmth to my craft space.  I had fun with these projects and more that I cannot show quite yet...

New Pillow Covers ~

 

It was a chilly day outside yesterday - a high of 8 degrees.  I decided to heat things up with my heat press and make some new pillows.  I may have shown off my Minnesotan roots.

 

I've been giving my Cricut a workout lately.  Here are some of the fun projects I've been working on ~

Onesies!

 

Who doesn't love adorable onesies on adorable babies?  Here's a few I've made lately.

A Variety Of Cricut Pillows ~

 

So I spent last weekend making pillows using my Cricut.  It was too hot and humid to be outside so it became a crafting weekend.  

Can Coolers

 

It's been awhile since I shared some of my Cricut crafts.  Last week, I made a bunch of can coolers with a variety of different designs.

Lunch Bags

 

 I accidentally stumbled upon these lunch bags and couldn't resist firing up my Cricut to add to them.  I love that they a eco-friendly and made of organic cotton.

Canvas Wine Bags

 

Here a couple of canvas wine bags that I decorated using my Cricut and some maroon colored vinyl.  

Mom's Kitchen Sign

 

I made this sign using my Cricut and used a new to me technique of layering colors for the sunflower.  It was a fun and quick project.

9 x 5.5 Framed Chalkboard Plaque

Gold & Brown Vinyl

Gotta Have My Nip Jar

 

I'm really loving my Cricut and all the fun ideas that I create to go with it.  My cats were wild about this one.  They picked out the package right away containing catnip when it came in the house.  I literally had to hide it out of their reach and then filled the jars in the bathroom with the door locked.  I sprayed Lysol after filling them but they still knew it was in there by the expressions on both of their faces when I opened the door.  The jars are still intact and they haven't found the stash.  Yet.  I tried to have the Gotta Have My Nip as part of the design on the jar but the lettering was way too small.  Luckily I'm a crafter with lots of supplies.  I typed out the saying and ran it through the printer and then punched out the tags.  I added a red paw print.

Cricut red permanent vinyl

3.4 oz jar with cork lid

Kraft paper

Jane's Doodles Cats At Play stamp

Simon Says Stamp Schoolhouse Red ink

Natural Jute Twine

Seasoned With Love Salt & Pepper Shaker Holder

 

I saw this cute set of salt and pepper shakers in their adorable holder and knew I wanted to make something with my Cricut for it.  Since it's such a small set, I used a smaller font.  Not easy to pick off the excess vinyl but I do like how it turned out.

Jingle All The Way Shadow Box

 

I know...I know...it's not the season to be making a Christmas craft but I happened to run into these pretty bells and thought about what I could make with them.  I decided to use a shadow box to display them with a Cricut design.  It's really hard to take a picture of holographic material.

Don't Mist Me Off Mister

 

I bought a Cricut Explore Air 2 with my first stimulus check.  I did the test and all was well.  I planned on making some Christmas gifts using it.  That didn't happen.  I had to wait until I had a dear friends birthday approaching fast before I decided what to create.  She's recently into succulent plants so I had to research and see if there was a gift that would go well for them.  Misters is what came up.  Oh there's so many with different shapes that unfortunately I had to rule out since this was my first solo project.  I found this mister on Amazon.  I tested it out, and it works awesome.  I had already created an expression to go with her (and my) sense of humor.  I think I picked the hardest vinyl material to work with but with the weeding tool and a few curse words, I got it to work.
