OFF THE MAT: BRUNO FROM ENCANTO

Bruno, Bruno, Bruno … he’s done! I started him before the convention and finished after coming back … and so I was able to incorporate adhesive flock from @pinkandmain after seeing this at @namtaartmaterialsassociation in Florida. It’s a lot of fun to work with.

Special thanks to @thecraftyblock for the shredded tassels to add to his shirt. If you haven’t seen her Bruno, you need to see what she used for his flip flops! Still my favorite part ❤️❤️❤️.

Svg file is from @thesaltyyankee !!! As well as the other encanto characters ❤️❤️❤️.

Next up is the candle from encanto with the new lights I found from @chibitronics 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻…

OFF THE MAT: MIRABEL FROM ENCANTO

It’s all in the details … I love the raised glasses… the htv flock for the black in the shirt … and any time you have an enclosed area like the black butterfly, you can easily get rid of the seams running through by cutting a piece of black cardstock to add over it. In the end, with a 48 inch character, she will have probably a total of .5 inches in seams that won’t be noticeable.

OFF THE MAT: SNOW WHITE SUGAR SKULL

Definitely the fairest of them all ❤️❤️❤️. I can’t decide with the flowers or not? And if with flowers, more flowers? Bigger flowers? Different color? It’s still not right. Help!This project was definitely time consuming but I’m in love with it! The words - you guessed it … htv from @politape_us. The color is a gray/black glitter. Just love!!!

LIGHTNING MCQUEEN - CARS CAKE TOPPER

My video fail turned this into a comparison project LOL. So we have two different types of sticker paper as well as lights!⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠There's a matte version which has this rubbery feel texture that is super cool. While the colors aren't as vibrant, I really do like the paper. This one has the multi-color lights from Amazon. Now if you're wondering why the lights aren't as bright, it's because I forgot to turn off the lights and they had been going for well over 24 hours straight. Also I have the lights behind the sticker paper.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Now onto the glossy version. I used the white lights (also from Amazon) BUT this time I cut out the sticker paper where the lights are and put vellum paper. So the lights are really bright! ⁠⁠⁠Usually I prefer the multi lights, but the bright white lights matched his smile and it was perfect for a car.

DIY MINI DISNEY CHARACTERS

These minis have me a little obsessed lol. So I revamped the process and now Snow White looks huge next to mini.

My previous life as a process designer for Bank of America keeps creeping into my crafting life LOL. We went from Snow White at 5 inches (and losing some parts of her eyes) to a better process with Jasmine at 4 inches to more process changes and landed with Snow White at 3 inches. Snow White at 3 inches has more details in her eyes than SW at 5 inches. I'm in love! Btw SW5 looks gigantic now hahaha.

OFF THE MAT: ALICE IN WONDERLAND 30”

Alice is 30 inches and pretty much seamless except for her blue skirt. I wanted to show you how I would approach it in 3 different ways.... I definitely have a favorite ... just curious if we agree which is best 😬🤪 Option 1: creating a deliberate seam. I think this would be better if I could actually design lol. So I changed the image from 2 pieces into 3 pieces. If I could design, I would have made it look more like a pleat (which is what I was going for lol).

PRINCESS TIANA CAKE TOPPER

I’m absolutely in love with this Princess Tiana cake topper shaker with a flashing light for the firefly. 🥰😍💚.The light is very cool and can easily be turned on and off. Without the paper, it’s on. Slide the paper back in and it’s off. It comes in multi color or just white and both are available on my amazon shop (link is in my profile and select amazon). 💚💚💚

.I love the colors for a Tiana theme - green, gold, and white ... with a speck of purple.

This toddler Snow White is going to be bananas 🍌 🍌 🍌.
