Ideas For Home
I used the Craft Room Exclusive Cart called Word Bubble to make Coasters. I cut out the bubble shape from some left over pieces of cork that I had previously screen-printed on with the YUDU. I am making a ton of these and packaging them as holiday gifts. Who doesn’t need coasters? Perfect for holiday parties!

I used the Imagine Cartridge called Santas Village to create this project. I like the Abominable snow monster type character available on this cartridge, the odd little bunny that looks like it has to pee and the penguin that looks lost our in the snow.
I paired this with a very cool paper called Lazertran Inkjet Waterslide Decal Paper. You can print right onto this paper using your Imagine or any color printer or color copier.
The next step is to cut around the image you want to use, dip it into a bowl of water and the decal front peels away from the paper backing. You can then place the decal onto any ceramic surface and once it drys it is attached. So I used this method to create three cool ceramic wall tiles.
I also added Japanese Washi Tape at the bottom and sealed the whole tile with a clear acrylic varnish. This really gets me excited for Christmas decorating.
I used Scandinavian Christmas Cards Cartridge to create a Scandinavian Christmas Tree Skirt. I used my Cricut and the Scandinavian Christmas Cards Cartridge to cut fabric, that I back with heat and bond. I changed the direction of the reindeer so that I had one facing left and one facing right and in the center I place the holiday tree. I ironed it on to a large piece of ochre yellow wool felt that I cut into two half rounds and sewed together, it closes with pieces of velcro. I finished it off by adding green cotton ribbon to the edge and a few bows. Now I just need all my holiday goodies down from the attic. Where’s the ladder?!

I am selling T-shirt yarn items and Twist-It T-shirt kits at Crafteria tonight.
It’s black Friday and if you are running off to the mall I’d like to send out a reminder to also save some of your hard earned cash to spend on hard working local makers.
