I've been having fun screen printing recently, and mostly onto bags - it's easy and fun! For this one, I even made the screen myself using Heat Transfer Vinyl, my Silhouette Cameo and screen printing mesh - and I have to say I was pretty pleased with this one!
If you are interested in getting hold of one of these, please take a look in my Etsy shop.
Materials Used:
Screen Sensation - screen printing unit, black ink
Arteza - Heat Transfer Vinyl
Hunt The Moon - screen printing mesh
Cricut - Easy Press and mat
Other - cotton tote bag
Hi! Today I have a Christmas card and gift to share! As I am sure you will have seen from recent posts I have been in a bit of an "Anna Griffin" crafty mode, so no surprise here is another project using her fabulous goodies!
I used my Cricut and an image from a gorgeous Anna Griffin cartridge, and had a go at something that I had wanted to try for ages - making a stencil on my Cricut for glass etching. I would have to admit that the design I chose for the stencil was a bit fiddly because of all of the bits I needed to make sure stayed on the glass to create the full image. Given this was my first attempt I am very happy with the results, and will definitely have another go. My top tip here is if you have not done this before use a very simple outline design for your first go! :-)
Having decorated the glass candle votives I made a card to match, and then decorated the box the candles came in. I also put some gold mirror card inbetween the candle and the glass so that you can see the design (the candles are white!) which would obviously need to be removed before lighting!
I am adding this to:

Anna Griffin - Anna's Christmas Cards & Embellishments Cricut cartridge, Holiday metallic cardstock layers, Holiday Trimming II card kit, Scattered Holly embossing folder, perfect bows, Christmas paper from stash

Hi! Exciting news to share with you today - I'm a Lacy Sunshine Girl! Along with some other really talented girlies, I am part of the Lacy Sunshine Creative Team!
I'm looking forward to bringing you lots of cards and projects over the coming months using Heather Valetin's fabulous digis which you can only buy from her Lacy Sunshine
Shop.
I've used one of the new precoloured digis to make this set - card, bag and box. I did also try to make some matching tissue paper to go in the bag and box, but my printer just didn't like the printable tissue paper! So I hope you like the pieces I did make, and if you'd like to see more cards from the Creative Team take a look at the Lacy Sunshine Blog.
There is also a Facebook group where you can join in and share your Lacy Sunshine creations, get hints and tips on crafting, or just join in on the general chat. Its a friendly group, so come and join us!
