Dance Party Cups featuring Cricut

This week I am joining in with my crafty friends to do a week of Cricut Party ideas! For my project, I did Party cups using plastic cups from IKEA and Cricut Vinly. Check out how I did them below!

Materials needed:

Computer
Cricut Design Space
Party Cups SVG
Cricut cutting mat
Cricut vinyl
Transfer tape
Weeding tool
Plastic cups (It could be any plastic cups but I like the ones from IKEA)

Making it:

Grab the Party Cups svg file from above and open it in Design Space. Resize it to fit on the cups that you have.

Pick your color vinyls and place it on the Cricut cutting mats. Insert into the Cricut machine and start cutting. TIP: Make sure your pieces are attached. I just did this on one mat, so I grouped my items together.

Using a weeding tool, remove the excess vinyl.

For the background layer, I just used my fingers but you could use transfer tape. Place the background layer on your cup in any direction that you want.

Using transfer tape, apply it over your words and then press down making sure that the vinyl is adhering to the transfer tape. Remove from the paper backing and apply to the background vinyl that is already on your cups. Make sure to rub the letters down good so that they stay in place.

Remove the transfer tape carefully so that you don’t pull up the letters and then you are ready to use your cups for whatever party you are having. Our party just happens to be a dance party!

Of course, you could design your own wording for your cups or you could use the file above!!!!

Craft Lightning is here again and this months topic is GLITTER! Usually I’m anti-glitter! Like my pastor says, “Jesus is allergic to glitter”! He has a strong dislike for it! Haha! But…..Glitter vinyl and glitter HTV are my jam! I love it! I made this super simple Mom Juice Wine Tumbler using a cut file from the Cricut Design Space!

Heres what you need:

Wine tumbler or any wine glass
Glitter vinyl (I used Cricut)
Cricut (I used the Explore)
Transfer tape
Cricut weeding tool
Cricut Design Space on your computer
Cricut scraper tool or I just use a credit card.
Cricut cutting mat

Heres how to make it:

Open up Design Space on your computer and search for Wine in the search bar of the Images. Make it the appropriate size. TIP: Make sure your wine tumbler is clean.

Using the Cricut, cutting mat and vinyl, cut your design.

Weed the excess vinyl using the Cricut weeding tool.

Apply the transfer tape to the design and rub it with a scraper tool.

Apply to the tumbler, and rub it with your fingers or the scraper tool to make sure it sticks. Remove the transfer tape.

And now your tumbler is ready to fill with your “Mom Juice”!

Pick Flowers, Not Fights Hoop Art

1 Reply

This week, I have joined a few other Cricut loving crafty friends for a Summer of Flowers event with our Cricut machines.

I decided to use a Cricut project already made in the Cricut Design Space to make a positive hoop art so that we have a reminder, that we should not pick fights, but instead do something fun and uplifting like picking flowers!

Materials:

Cricut Machine (Explore or Maker)
Computer with Cricut Design Space (Pick flowers, Not fights design in in Design Space)
Cricut EasyPress
Cricut Cutting Mat
Cricut Weeding Tool
Cricut Everyday Iron-On Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)
Embroidery Hoop
9″x12″ craft cut of Kunin Felt in White
Scissors

Directions:

Using your computer, open Cricut Design Space, search for Pick Flowers Not Fights in Images.

Connect the Cricut to the computer. Put the Heat Transfer Vinyl on the mat, shiny side down.

Cut the designs out in the order that they are set to cut. Weed the excess HTV using the weeding tool. TIP: Leaving the design on the mat can make it easier to weed.

Using the Cricut EasyPress, press the design onto the center of the white piece of felt. The design will have to be done one layer at a time.

Open the embroidery hoop and place the felt in the hoop and return the outside piece of the hoop.

Turn the hoop over and trim the excess felt.

Now you are ready to put it out so that everyone can see your positive message. You can either lean it against the wall, hang it on a nail or use some ribbon to hang it up!

Being A Mom, I Deserve This... Main Photo

Materials Needed to make your own!

Cricut Machine
Cricut Cutting Mat
Vinyl (I used a glittery one)
Weeding Tool
Transfer Tape
Wine Tumbler
Being a mom, I deserver this… SVG file

How I created this masterpiece!

Using my Cricut Design Space, I uploaded the SVG file that I have provided and sized the file so that it would fit on my tumbler.

2. I got my mat ready, applying my vinyl to the mat and inserting it into the Cricut.

3. Once my design was cut out, I weeded away the unneeded pieces of vinyl using my weeding tool.

4. I covered my vinyl design with transfer tape and made sure that I burnished it really good using my fingers so that the vinyl adhered to the transfer tape.

5. I peeled the transfer tape away from the backing. TIP: I snipped the transfer tape in a few different places so that when I laid it on my tumbler, it was easier to work with. Round odd shaped cups can be a little tricky to work with.

6. I started by placing the transfer tape down in the center and then worked my way around the outside making sure all of the letters got placed without any wrinkles. A good rubbing with my fingers to make sure the letters would stick to the tumbler and then it was time to remove the transfer tape.

My kids can be a handful sometimes, but how true is this statement: Being a mom, I deserve this….. What do you deserve as a mom? Wine? Beer? Chocolate? A vacation? All of the above? Wouldn’t it be nice to have those things on Mother’s Day?

Peace Out 5th Grade Shirt featuring Cricut Products

Leave a reply

Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links. Opinions in this post are mine.

The end of the school year is near for us and it’s hard to believe that I have a 5th grader going in to 6th grade. While my oldest has loved his teachers this year, he is ready to be done with 5th grade! With that said, I made this Peace Out 5th Grade shirt for him to wear on his last day!!! Cricut makes it super easy to make fun shirts at home!

Materials used:

Cricut Explore and cutting mat
Cricut Iron-On HTV in white
Cricut Weeding Tool
Cricut Easy Press
Cricut Design Space and a Computer
T-shirt
Towel

How to make it:

Using my laptop and Cricut Design Space, I laid out my design.

With my Cricut Explore, I cut my design out. Before cutting, I remembered to mirror my image! I have forgotten to do this once in the past. Not good.

After it was finished cutting, I weeded the excess iron-on HTV using my Cricut weeding tool.

The Cricut Easy Press is super easy to use and takes up very little space for storage. I have also found that using the Easy Press works best on my granite counter top with a towel under the shirt. Cricut has a list of heating settings on their website. I love it!
