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.

I’m seriously loving these chip bags. Adding matching gift cards and that’s how the end of the school year is happening - it’s a wrap!This photo paper is 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. The colors are so vibrant. I think after doing so many, I prefer the white bars on top and bottom. Is it just me???

I love using Canva to get the most out of the photo paper (8.5 x 11 inches). There’s no need to use Cricut’s print then cut since the entire page is used and there’s no cutting needed.

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.

I absolutely loved this little gift!!! I know it’s April and snow tubing and hot chocolate are out, but it was too cute not to post.

Cardstock is from @12x12cardstock and I used @bearlyarts glue and foam tape (the layers makes all the difference).

The best compliment came from the sister of the birthday girl .... you give the best gifts . What do you think? Will this be a trend? I know ... it’s so over the top.

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 🤣😂😆.

1 0 K - whoooooo!!!!! I thought it was never going to happen 😂🤣🤦🏻‍♀️. But so excited for both my YouTube and Instagram accts to hit within days of each other. My top 3 videos are ... grinch, Ariel, and butterflies.Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You!

And now .... back to the grind.

Appreciate all of you ... and as my daughter says every night .... love you to the moon and back, to the Jupiters and Saturn (she can be fobby 😂)

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

So here's another take with the Pringles chip cans - without the dome. If you go with this option, you are not limited in size for what you put on top of the can. And you have all the supplies in your craftroom - paper, glue, and tape.

Which do you prefer? To dome or not dome??? I'm too close to it to tell. And I'm a late bloomer. I need to see it over and over. lol.

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!!!

💀 Jack and sally - 37 inches x 22 inches of cardstock.

Look at that hair shine! I’m so excited to have discovered a new brand of glitter cardstock - Ground Up Creations!Now for the tips:💀 - at 37 inches they are practically seamless!!! In the video you can see a seam running through her dress. But that will disappear when this is glued to a foam board. It will stay flat and won’t catch the light reflection.

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.

It’s Tiana at 30 inches! She looks so pretty in person 💚💚💚💚.

Tips:

1. I see a lot of people flipping their mat over to pull off cardstock so it doesn’t curl the paper. I really hate to do that to my mat cause it picks up debris and makes the mat less sticky. If you pull the cardstock towards you as you unstick it from the mat, it works just as well ❤️.

3D letters for a Princess and The Frog Tiana themed party! This was a brand new area for me this year and I absolutely loved it. I’m still learning how to add to it cause surprisingly it’s different than layering a cake topper or banner. But this is definitely on my list for 2021 to get better at editing/adding/designing. 💚💚💚.

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.

I’m getting all sentimental and excited about hitting my one year mark as a crafting YouTuber .... so I wanted to challenge myself and make something as tall as my 5 1/2 yr old. I make cake toppers, iron-on vinyl on shirts, personalize anything and everything ... but i feel like when it comes to off-the-mat characters, I am a legit superstar 😁🤪😂🤣. This toddler Snow White is going to be bananas 🍌 🍌 🍌.

What is it? It’s another milestone shaker! This time for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I’m missing a true mommy moment of documenting her first day of kindergarten. So of course what’s the next best thing? Making her home desk as EXTRA AF. One week left!!! Any suggestions? 😂🤣🥰.

Another day, another cake topper shaker order. I love how all the colors shine and it’s just all so extra. 😂🥰🧜‍♀️ 🐳 💙💜💚.

Tips:

1. Foam sheet cuts on my Cricut Maker on flex foam setting using the rotary blade - cuts like 🧈.

2. For Print and Cut, I added white circles behind the purple beads so that it won’t try to cut around those tiny details. I try to avoid anything that will give me a headache. Lol. I’ve had plenty of times when the image is ruined cause it ripped during the last step.

3. Sequins is like ordering food - it’s better to have leftovers than to be left hungry. #moreisalwaysbetter 😂🤣.
