Little Red Truck Christmas Pillows - Layering HTV

My daughter in laws asked for some throw pillows for Christmas, and I wanted a few for myself here as well.  I have more to make, but the first two designs are done, and I love how they turned out!

Ungroup, and hide the Noel.  I added our last name in the Bromello font

I did not use the white circles - I liked it better without them.
Don't forget to reverse your design before cutting!  I use select all and flip horizontal rather than using mirror - because that way I am sure it is all done before I start cutting.

I use a plain old iron (literally old - probably 80s model - I bought a couple of good old heavy irons at the thrift store, and love them.  ) a silicone baking mat, and a pillow case.  I sew my own pillow cases - details are here (and it's SUPER easy - a great beginners sewing project) 
First I ironed the pillow case, and stuck the silicone baking sheet inside.  
Then I layered the design on the way I wanted it to look.
Next, carefully pull back the red truck, leaving the black tires, the tree, and the name on the case, in position.  

Make certain that none of the designs overlap.  Trim the clear transfer sheet if needed, to make sure it is not under any of the vinyl when layering.

Cover with parchment paper.  Then Press the preheated iron (I set mine between cotton and wool) down hard one section at a time, for 10 seconds each.  Be careful near the edges where there are seams, try to keep the iron off the seams, so that it sits flat on the design.  
Remove the parchment paper, peel back the plastic htv backing, slowly.  If the edges peel up at all, replace the plastic and parchment paper and press again.

Once pressed, remove the clear transfer tape.
Place the red truck over the tires and tree, cover with parchment paper, and press again.

Hold the pillow up to the light, you should see the texture of the fabric through the vinyl.  

Jingle All The Way is in the Samantha font.

Decorating Soap Dispensers With Cricut

Decorating Soap Dispensers With Cricut

These dispensers are all from the Dollar Tree, and they do not always carry the square ones anymore.  They almost aways have soap dispensers - but recently our stores have been carrying the round ones.

 I spray painted a bunch of them, using Rustoleum spray paint, because I wanted more of the off white, and my store didn't have them.  

Gilmore Girls Ornaments

I found this little glitter tree at Michaels this year.  Be prepared - it's really a glitter tree.  I think you could follow my exact path around Michaels simply by following the glitter..  and after putting it up, everything nearby had a fine coat of glitter on it...  I don't care.  It's my laundry room, it's Christmas, and I LOVE this tree.

The ornaments I started with are from Michaels I think.  Maybe Wal-mart.  They were already glittered - and they were cheap. Although it's SO easy, and fun, to make your own glitter ornaments, white glitter is hard, and I think, if I remember correctly, these were cheaper than the clear ornaments.
Below I describe the fonts and graphics used for each, and the show references for each.


The Gilmore Girls font is thought to be Sackers Solid Antique Roman - and it can be found here:  http://fontsgeek.com/fonts/Solid-Antique-Roman-Regular


This is one of my favorites.  I love how it turned out.

I looked at making a No Cell Phones ornament - from the Lukes Diner sign - this site has a free sign you can download and print yourself - http://www.findingstarshollow.com/make-your-kitchen-look-like-lukes-diner-free-printable-no-cell-phones-sign-to-download-and-print-at-home/

Oy With The Poodles & I Jump You Jump Jack
These were graphics my daughter had already converted to use on ornaments on her own tree.  She is using the flat ornaments - which is smart.  These need to be made much smaller than 2x2 for the round ornaments.  Maybe 1.5x1.5
