Halloween Heat Transfer T-Shirt by Shantaie

Shantaie Fowler loves playing with vinyl and she had fun creating this "adult" t-shirt for Halloween!

This spirited shirt has all of the fun and whimsy of Halloween but with a bit of grown up flair.

Heat transfer vinyl is one of the greatest inventions ever for makers, crafters, and DIYers, it gives us a tool to express ourselves in anyway we can conjure up!

I used my Silhouette Cameo to create this design and cut it in reverse from white heat transfer vinyl and ironed onto a black tee. It really was that simple.

That fun ghost and those bubbles!!! 

Heat transfer vinyl is really fun, and once you try it you may not be able to stop making everything you can dream up! 

And she found a fun glass already made but you could probably make one using our new 751 Dishwasher Gloss vinyl.  Super fun! 

What would you make for Halloween using Vinyl?  The possibilities are endless!

Mermaid Heat Transfer Bag by Shantaie

Hi! How are you today? Feeling a little summery yet? Me too!

I've been having fun playing with some black heat transfer vinyl and 

linen bags, to make these splashy mermaid treat bags.

I love this mermaid cut found on the Silhouette store, and decided to alter it, by only using the tail portion of the design, "splashing into the water" was what I was going for! I cut the design into heat transfer vinyl and ironed it onto the bag with a dry hot iron. I wanted a bit of color so I pulled out a green and a blue glimmer mist, and sprayed fairly generously! :) 

I also added a few little heat transfer gems, and glued on some half back pearls. In the top corner A small glass bottle filled with sandy hued glitter, and a rope bow are just the cherry on top!  Dive right in and fill the bag with candy, a strand of pearls or some fabulous beach waves hair products to give as a summer gift! 

I'm Shantaie and I appreciate, you stopping in to take a look at todays fun heat transfer vinyl project.   If you love vinyl, drop by our vinyl Facebook group and see what other people are doing with their vinyl and be sure to share your vinyl projects with us!

Sparkly Vinyl Golden Pineapple dish towel Shantaie Fowler

Hello!  Shantaie here today working with glitter vinyl.  And have I got a DIY project for you!  Be sure to click on images to enlarge and see more detail.

I am gasp out loud, "I have to have it", OMG in love with all the gorgeous gold home accessories in the shops. I love the elegant beautiful items as much as all those cheeky silly sayings we are seeing everywhere.

 I have this "thing" for hand towels. I mean I have a real thing!! I love them to be fun, and pretty. I like to match my decor .....or my parties, or just because. Flour sack towels are so soft and easy to personalize, and are really budget friendly, they are my favorite!

I used a simple open design to cut my sparkly gold heat transfer vinyl, and ironed it onto my prewashed towel. Don't worry if you think the vinyl will be rough, it's not, and will wash beautifully! 

Heat transfer vinyl is seriously easy to use, just follow the instructions ( don't forget to flip the design) and you can transform or personalize almost anything!!!

Day #7 - Coffee Lovers Blog Hop - Coffee Love #2 by Cathy Harper

Welcome to day #7, the final day of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.  SRM has been very excited to be part of this great event.  We have been a Super Sponsor and that means there are SRM giveaways on the Coffee Lovers Blog. Today is the last day.  If you want to join in the fun, be sure to create a card and link it to the blog hop.

Hi everyone, Cathy here with you again today and I am sharing another fun coffee treat idea with you using SRM's fabric bags, Heat Transfer Vinyl and gold doilies.

I created a couple of very simple little gift bags so that I could share some of my favorite Kuerig coffee cups with friends.  These are the perfect size for giving a little pick me up!  I used a couple of SRM bags… a Small Burlap Bag and a Small Muslin Bag, I then added a SVG cut from Ashley Horton's The Cut Shoppe using SRM's Black Heat Transfer Vinyl.  The HTV cuts like a dream and adhered easily to the sweet little bags.  I added my Kuerig cups and then just a bit more fun and detail with SRM doilies....a gold lace one and a white lace one.  The doilies are a perfect finishing touch to these.

Thanks for joining us today at SRM!

Trendy Make Up Bag by Lorena

Hello friends! It's Lorena Cantó here with a project to show you that you don't necessarily need an electronic die cutting machine in order to have fun with SRM's heat transfer vinyl.

I've been wanting a handy pouch to store my make up when I travel. There are lots of cute ones out there with trendy gold designs. Cute and overpriced! So I went the crafty way and made one myself using SRM Large Muslin Bag and Heat Transfer Vinyl in gold.

Here's what you'll need. No electronic machine needed, just your manual die cutting machine and metal dies.  I used a regular paper trimmer to cut the strips from the heat transfer sheet, but a craft knife works perfectly too.

I started by ironing the bag so I would have a perfectly flat surface to work with. Second, I cut strips from the heat transfer vinyl and manually  die cut a simple design from the widest strip.

Once I had all my vinyl elements ready to go, I positioned them on the bag. You need to have the shiny side of the vinyl facing up. Once everything is in place, cover the vinyl with parchment paper and just iron over the paper using a no-steam setting.  After the design has been adhered, you'll need to remove the adhesive plastic backing from the vinyl. Just pull gently and you're done!

Here's a closer look of the result. Look at that luscious gold! It has kind of a leather finish that I love.

I was able to use both the negative and the positive of the flower and leaves to decorate the bag.

And once I was done, I couldn't wait to fill it with my make up thingies!

One last shot of my brand new make up bag sitting up :)

That's it! I can't wait to experiment more with the heat transfer! My next project will probably be a fun t-shirt for my son.  Stay tuned!

Thanks for visiting!
