Wild about Wilcox Shirt

Machine Used: BossKut Gazelle
Software: Funtime Scrapbooking IV
Fonts Used: Funtime Hobos
Materials: Heat Transfer Vinyl

We recently moved and because of the move my daughter had to relocate schools.  This month her new school has been celebrating reading with a different theme each week.  This week is centered around her school.

She's supposed to wear cloths that support the school.  Unfortunately for us, the PTO sold shirts at the beginning of the school year and don't have any more.  Well, I couldn't send her to school without some school gear and colors!!

After playing around in the Funtime program, I came up with a couple of designs.  I asked family and friends which one they liked best but ultimately it was up to my daughter.

She picked the blue design because it was easier for her to read.

While she was at school one day I cut the image and ironed it onto the shirt that we got for her.  Fortunately she LOVED it!

Thanks for looking!!

Lil' Princess Tee Shirt

Machine Used: BossKut Gazelle
Software: Funtime Scrapbooking IV
Files Used: Butterfly with Flourishes 0395, Princess Hand Mirror by Judy Stark BKD 002
Materials: Heat Transfer Vinyl, Light Pink Rhinestones

I recently made a Service Flag tee shirt for my Mom and my daughter saw it.  That was the end of that, now she wanted me to make a shirt for her as well!

 

For her, I decided to add a little more Princess to it.  It was something that I thought that she would appreciate A LOT more.  :o)  I started by finding the perfect sentiment and worked in Funtime to get the layout just right.

 

 

I used the Funtime font, Impress BT Regular, for the majority of the sentiment.  "HERO" I used the true type font Army and for "Lil' Princess" I used the true type font CAC Champagne.

 

With Funtime, it made it so easy to add an outline to "Lil' Princess" so that I could incorporate my daughter's favorite colors.
 

 

 

Using the Butterfly with Flourishes 0395 and the Princess Hand Mirror by Judy Stark BKD 002 I positioned them around my sentiment.
 

 

I ironed on everything at once but the top layer of "Lil' Princess."  Once everything cooled a bit, I added the top layer of "Lil' Princess."  I love how easy it is to use more than one color of heat set vinyl and how well you can layer colors.

 

With everything in place, I needed to add a little bling to the crown.  Using Light Pink Rhinestones, I set them on the crown and using the already warm iron, I set them.

Overall I'm very happy with how this shirt turned out but I think that if I were to make another one I would use a lighter purple vinyl for the majority of the sentiment.

Thanks for looking!!

Service Flag Tee Shirt

Machine Used: BossKut Gazelle
Software: Funtime Scrapbooking IV
Materials: Easyweed Heat Transfer Vinyl

My Mom already has a service flag tee shirt that my Dad had bought her in the past.  However, if I'm remembering correctly, it only had 2 stars on it.  Now with 3 immediate family members deployed she needed a new one!  While she was wearing the one my Dad bought her I mentioned that she'd need on with 3 stars on it and the service members names on the back.

From there we talked about options and I told her that I'd get on it!  I ordered all my vinyl from Expressions Vinyl and I absolutely LOVED how easy this vinyl was to work with.

For the design I went to my Funtime Scrapbooking IV (available only with the Gazelle!) and layered 2 rectangles to create the base of the service flag.  Then I added 3 of the stars, making sure to round the corners just a tad (which you can't see in the design) so that they would cut better.

Using a very simple font, I typed out each of the service members rank, name, and branch of service.

When it came to ironing on my designs I needed to be careful because I was adding a design onto the front and back.  I ended up using a cutting board and placed it in the shirt.  Then following the instructions on the Expressions Vinyl website, I ironed on my designs.

A very simple project that speaks volumes!

A personal thank you to all our service men and women out there serving and a great BIG thank you to the families that stay home and support them!!

Personalized Bag with Heat Transfer Vinyl

Machine Used: Boss Kut Gazelle
Software: Funtime Scrapbooking III
Files Used: Butterfly Silhouette 0327
Materials:Heat Transfer Vinyl, SS 6 Pink Rhinestones

I LOVE working with vinyl but just couldn't bring myself to work with the heat transfer vinyl.  I think that is mainly because it required bringing out my iron and I didn't want my dearest husband thinking that me ironing would become a regular thing.  ;o)  After making this project, I could just kick myself for waiting so long!!

My daughter received a very cute bag last year and it always bothered me it was so plain.  We used it for her dance class last session and will be using it again in September when her classes start back up.  I finally decided it was time to spruce it up!  Here's the bag before I got a hold of it.

Using the true type font, Vivaldi, I typed out my daughter's name "Mickaela" in Funtime.  When it came time to cut the vinyl, I made sure to mirror the image and used the weeding option in the cut menu.  Since this was my first attempt at heat transfer vinyl, I followed these great instructions by Mrs. Boss Kut herself, Phyllis!

 

I followed the same instructions when I applied the Butterfly Silhouette.  I will note here the importance of making sure you have a smooth surface to work with.  Where I applied the butterfly there are A LOT of folds in the bag, so the butterfly and I had a bit of a disagreement.  Don't you just love the learning experiences that come with learning new things in crafting!?!

 

With the rhinestones I followed the awesome tutorials provided by Terri on the Boss Kut Training website.  Be sure to watch all 3 of them!  She makes it so easy to follow and explains everything. 

 

As always, my daughter was very grateful with new additions to her bag.  I just hope that I'll be able to get her to put it down sometime between now and when dance class begins.

Now that I've jumped both feet first into heat transfer vinyl and rhinestones, I can't wait to get more projects done.  I'll just have to wait until my husband is at work so that he doesn't see me with the iron out!  ;o)

Thanks for looking!!
