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!!!

OFF THE MAT: HARAJUKU GIRLS

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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

OFF THE MAT: HELLO KITTY

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 ❤️❤️❤️.

OFF THE MAT: PENNYWISE - IT

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.

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).

OFF THE MAT: FRIDA

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.

OFF THE MAT: SELENA

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 🤣😂😆.

OFF THE MAT: JACK & SALLY - NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS

💀 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.

OFF THE MAT: TIANA PARTY PROP

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 ❤️.

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 🍌 🍌 🍌.

It's Ladybug from Miraculous! This off-the-Mat Cricut project was sooo much fun and I’m absolutely in love with the final outcome even if I suck at puzzles!! 😂🤦‍♀️ All cardstock and glitter cardstock !!! ❤️💜💙💚. Perfect for party decor and pretty much that’s it 😂🤣. I’m thinking about making Cat Noir, her sidekick, so Charlotte can carry around with her Halloween costume. .

OFF THE MAT: REY - STAR WARS

Look at this little badass - Rey from Star Wars! She’s 30 inches of cardstock and stinking adorable ❤️💙💚💛💜🧡

Tips:

1. Do not attempt to do this any smaller than 30 inches. There are too many details (aka little pieces).

2. There are many pieces that need to be modified (unlock to make bigger) in order to weld with another piece. Otherwise you will have even more pieces than you will want to deal with. 😂🤯😬
