Better Blogging day 9

Oh my goodness.  I can not believe that this is 9 days in a row for blog posts  LOL!  I think this might be a record for me.  Today is Sunday 10-9, and I am acutally away for the weekend with my family at a waterpark in Wisconsin.  So, I think it will be safe to say that I will not be posting tomorrow (unless I can do some crafting here- not likely)

Anyway, I have one final project to share in my line up.  This one is actually a continuation of the last few days of YUDU projects.  While I had the card shop set up for the front of the shirts, I decided to created a few custom cards for the friend who ordered the shirts.  I simply pulled the images onto some CTMH double sided paper and adheared the pulled image to the front of a card.  I used a zip strip (CTMH) to finish off the front-  Simple and cute.  I hope she likes them.  I made 3 cards, one to go with each of the shirts.





As I used an ink with a metalic shimmer, it was hard to get a good photo of the front, but I think you get the idea. 

Better Blogging Day 7

A friend asked me to design some t-shirts for her team at work.  All of the members of the team have a thing for penguins so she asked that I include them in the design.  A while ago, she emailed me some images that she had in mind.  I was able to work with those images and the "program that shall not be named" to design a double sided t-shirt design for her.  I'm so excited about the final results.  The design work was done in Photoshop, the converted to SVG and cut from vinyl using "the program that shall not be named" and my cricut.  The vinyl negative was then used and applied to a clean YUDU screen.  I know that there are many ways to use the YUDU, but I have found that Perminant Outdoor vinyl gives me the best and most consistant results.  For the shirt back designs I used my YUDU, but for the front I thought I would try something a little different.  Be sure to stop back tomorrow for more details on the front of the shirt :)

Image negatives in the vinyl.  I cut the names apart so that the screen was set up with the main design and I removed the name after I was finished with it, washed the screen, then applied the new name.  It took a fair amount of time to dry the screen between each shirt, but in the end I am very happy with the results.
