OWH VCMP Challenge #3

Please scroll down this weekend to see all of the project creations and information for 
Operation Write Home.

OWH VCMP challenge #3
Triple Die Cut
from

Card #1 (matches better IRL the flash messed with the color of this one)...

Note:
OWH cards can not have ANY loose glitter on them.
We all know how glitter loves to stick to anything and everything
 and it can create a safety issue for our heroes. 
So please keep the glitter off your creations OR encase it in clear sealer or glue.

Thanks for stopping by today;)

OWH VCMP Challenge #2


Please scroll down this weekend to see all of the project creations and information for 
Operation Write Home.
 Create a card with elements that represent each letter of Operation Write Home!


O = OLD
as in an Old paper set from Basic Grey called  "konnichiwa"

W= White
I use white card bases for OWH card creations so our Heroes 
have enough room to write a nice letter back home. 
 This way the entire inside and back of card is free for writing.
Since it is difficult for our Heroes at times to find anything other than a pencil 
to use the white card base makes reading easier.

H = Hello
as in the stamp sentiment I used from Papertreyink.com

Card #1...

Card #2...

Card #3

I'm Booked T and Silhouette Cut File Tut

 I have had my fabric paint starter kit from Silhouette now for half a year.
Finally I have decided to make use of it;)
Had to make myself a little treat so I could show off one of my favorite past times.

I have the cut file for sale over in my shoplocket store.
You can also fill it in and create a print/cut file to your liking.
Here are some bookmarks I did just that with...


 Here is the cut file preview...
Purchase your studio cut file today with the link below.

Here is a tutorial on how to use the studio cut file as a template for t shirt fabric painting.

1.  Wash and dry the fabric you are going to use.
2. Tear off a 12' by 12" piece of freezer wrap paper.
3.  Attach the freezer wrap paper to your Silhouette Studio Carrier Mat.
4.  Open your Silhouette Studio Design software.
5.  Select open file.
6.  Find and open the I'm Booked cut file.
7.  Size to your liking for your project.
(If you wish you can also color the file and change the cut settings so you can create just a print file such as I did for the bookmarks shown above.)
8.  Send file to Silhouette Cameo Cutter.
9.  Carefully remove the freezer paper from the cutting mat.
10.  Iron your fabric on the hottest setting allowed.
11.  Center your cut stencil on your fabric SHINNY SIDE down.
12.  Iron on the Freezer Paper Stencil.
13.  Place cardboard inside the fabric to avoid transfer of paint to the other side.
14.  Using paint created for fabric or acrylic paint mixed with a fabric medium
(both are available at your local craft store)
carefully dab on the color using a foam brush or a sea sponge.
15.  Let the paint dry.
16.  Remove the Freezer paper stencil.
17.  Show off your creation proudly.
