I’ve done pikachu before and didn’t love it because it’s a difficult character to make seamless. So I decided to do both characters where they are seamless and add them together. The 9 is covering a seam but it was a good place for it anyway ☺️. Together the piece is a great size and perfect as a photo prop.

Hello Kitty at 22 inches with a moving baseball ⚾️… absolutely love everything about this gal … from the rhinestones to the glitter blue cardstock to the spinning baseball. I had to add the clock mechanism to an off the mat project for the first time. What do you think?

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 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻…

I had soooo many cool details for Mirabel that I was worried Isabela would be a flop. And I had already done Frida with lots of flowers. But I love how she turned out … looking like so much more than just a flat cardstock project. (And different from Frida cause I was worried this would look like a Frida 2.0 version).

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.

I’m in love with this character - all the colors and textures on this project 🥰❤️😍. We have foil, glitter, my skin tone cardstock…

Canary - 27 inches of beautiful cardstock 💜❤️💚.There are two colors from my soon-to-be-available cardstock selection (the face and lips). What do you think???

Love love love this project! Both the design space tutorial and the assembly portion are available. I’m really trying to take these projects to another level with different materials, different moving parts, different ways to slice it up to add dimension and allow for bigger pieces to look seamless… so follow me for all the tips and tricks ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

Bearly Arts 30 inch glitter bear!!! It turned out 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. I know … it’s my unbiased, humble opinion 🤣😂😝😁😆.

Tips: Any enclosed area with a seam you can cut out a duplicate piece to cover. For example, the paw print - I cut another white paw print to put over that space to cover the seam.

I’m just playing around with Hello Kitty with different sizes and different ways to bling.What do you think?

Showing you all the steps on how I layer and cut the foam board ... and also how I do rhinestones (but this is definitely not my forte!!! lol)

Super easy to add a foam board - it will make the project sturdier and you can set against a table or wall to stand propped up ❤️❤️❤️.

Absolutely in love with this cake topper!!!! The hourglass spins and the confetti drops - just to die for!!!

I used the perler beads to do the hourglass shaker slider. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this. And at the end, if it's not clear, I had to add the white paper to the back to keep it from sliding backwards and hitting the cards.

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.

Love love love how this turned out!!! Mixing a little luminous htv with my usual glitter cardstock for this craziness 🤡🤡😱just perfection 💛💛💛

26 inches and he glows in the dark! I used the luminous htv (heat transfer vinyl from Poli-Tape) on cardstock to get a super scary effect. In love!!

Tips:

1. I like to weld pieces together to make it easier to piece together and have fewer pieces to keep track of. For example check out the collar. I added little circles to connect pieces.

2. I struggled with the htv a bit because I didn’t apply enough pressure and heat. Next time it’ll be better. But I absolutely loved the results.

So March is Women's History Month and so I love how I stumbled upon Frida through a request from one of my followers. I have to admit that I knew very little about Frida prior to this - her unibrow, she's an artist and from Mexico. She's known for her self portraits, her love of Mexican and indigenous culture, and is a feminist icon... and I picked up a little fact that she loved her jewelry.

3D letters. I have been perfecting these over time and have made several versions. In this post I share all of my Design Space tutorials on setting these 3D letters and numbers up and resizing them as well as assembly.

Check out my other project posts for some specific numbers & letters I have created for parties/events/milestones.

Tips:

1️⃣- cut the dashed lines so that it’s easier to fold (as opposed to just debossing).

2️⃣- I still go back and forth on this ... but 110# paper is slightly easier to handle ... however you run the chance of the paper not cutting cleanly. And it dulls your blade faster (although good thing we can buy them super cheap on amazon haha).

The video tutorials were different this time because each process took many hours. So for the design space tutorial, it was more of a ‘tour’ of what was on my canvas, why I did certain things, and how to work this file. Would love to get your thoughts on this!!!! And the assembly video did not go through the entire process. But trust me when I tell you it took many many hours 🤣😂😆.

In this tutorial I will show you how to make personalized party favors out of Pringle cans.

Just when I thought it was time to give away this ice cream truck and gain some space, I realized it’s a dream party prop 😍😁.

I love it!!! The blue glitter outline of Matthew is over 18 inches long!!! With the overall Mickey centerpiece about 20 inches wide and 21 inches high. Not my typical off-the-mat character but it’s just as pretty 💙💙💙. And the hat is 4 inches high. Mini!!!

It’s Christmas time! Lol. So I’ve decided to have a fun Christmas tree craft room which is different from my living room fancy Christmas tree.

The grinch is 36 inches and he will have some company ... a nutcracker and Cindy Lou who will definitely be part of this scene. And lots more Christmas crafts to come.

S P O O K Y 🎃👻🧟‍♂️🧛‍♀️.

Ok, as spooky as Hello Kitty can be. 😆😂🤣.

It’s a haunted house with lights perfect for this year’s non-trick-or-treating Halloween 🎃.

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.
