Make a Splash Toddler Tank Top

Woo hoo, Wednesday is finally here!!! I'm so excited to finally share with all of you my super fun summer project I made for Miss Ruthie's summer guest designer series she's having on her September Ninth blog.. I feel so honored that Ruthie asked me to be a guest designer for her.. Well, for my summer project I decided to make an adorable tank to for my daughter.. So, here is how I made my project:


So first, I bought a white tank to from Wal-Mart

To create the image and sentiment on the tank top I used : An Imagine, a Gypsy, Transfer Magic Ink-jet Transfer Paper, Best Friends cart (for little girl image), Create A Critter cart (for "Splash" part of the sentiment), Learning Curve cart (for the rest of the sentiment)

Once you print and cut your design out (Hint: when printing letters make sure to reverse them so the will be right when you iron them on.. Also, I flood filled my letters with coordinating colors.) Place them on the shirt image side down.. Next, firmly iron over your image..



When the image is completely cooled gentle pull the backing off and your done..



Here is my finished shirt :0)

Watermelon Happy Birthday {shape card}

Happy Thursday all my crafty friends!!! Well, I wanted to share a real simple shape card with all of you today.. I am so glad that summer is in full swing and one of my favorite summer treats is watermelon.. So, when I saw this adorable watermelon cut on the "Backyard Fun" svg set from Lettering Delights I was inspired to make a card with it .. So, I used SCAL to weld my watermelon shadows together to make the base of my card, and then used my new Silhouette SD machine(Yes, I am so excited to be a Silhouette owner now.. SVG's here I come, LOL!) to cut it all out.. Finally, I add a fabulous Joy’s Life Stamp for my sentiment.. I just love how cute this card turned out :0)


Here's what I used to create my card:

*SCAL
*"Backyard Fun" svg set ( Lettering Delights )
*"Father and Son Stamps" set ( Joy’s Life product page )
*Paper (DCWV & the Paper Studio)
*Ink
*Twine
*A Button
*Stickles
