Heat Transfer Vinyl Potholder - Lori Whitlock Design Team Project

Hello there, I have a fun heat transfer vinyl project to share with you today. When I saw Lori's homemade gingerbread phase from the Silhouette Design Store and knew it would look so cute on one of the potholders from the Dollar Tree.

I used white siser easyweed heat transfer vinyl, it cut out beautifully and so easy to weed. To apply I used my new Cricut Easy Press which worked like a charm, but an iron works well also. These are quick and inexpensive gifts for Christmas time, I can't wait to make more.

Cinco de Mayo 2011 Heat Transfer Vinyl

I did my first vinyl heat transfer today and I'm loving it, I see a lot more tee shirts in my future. We go to the Cinco de Mayo festivities that a local Restaurant has every year and my Son wanted these tee shirts with this saying made, it's something him and the owner are always shouting to each other. So I designed it in Make the Cut, I'm very pleased with how they came out. Using the different features in MTC really made it so easy to do, I wanted to chop part of the hat and world so I used the boolean join feature, just awesome, Design Studio, Gypsy or CCR doesn't come close to this software there is just no end to what you can do with it.

I used Thermoflex Plus Heat Vinyl in Red, Apple Green and White. I had the pressure and blade on the Cricut set to 3 and used the extreme speed in MTC, came out perfect for the kiss cut.
