Is it really February already? It is time to create Valentine projects. There are so many places you can look for inspiration for your Valentine Cricut projects – from their Design Space, to Pinterest to Etsy shops. In my opinion, some of the best kids’ t-shirts for projects are found at Hobby Lobby, but other craft and discount stores carry them also.
It is always fun to change the design a bit by changing the colors, rearranging or adding layers or combining files to create a whole new design.
These two t-shirts are for Berkley, our almost 2-year old grandson. He is just adorable and loves to play outdoors and indoors! I am sure he will be creative, like his parents, so it will be so fun to be creating crafts with him soon.
Look at that face! Is that not just too adorable? This was from my last year’s post about Valentine s-shirts. I love this photo – it makes me smile every time I see it! So cute – and so happy!
These are the shirts I made for Berkley last year. Since his dad, John, is an Emergency and Disaster Management Coordinator at NWMSU, I thought the volcano was a fun first Valentine shirt. I am sure they have already read books about volcanos together.
And since he is always so happy, this reminded me of him. I am so thankful that Lauren takes so many photos of Berkley and shares them with us. The HTV is so much easier to weed than paper! The backing pulls off so easily.
This just caught my eye as I was looking at Etsy designs. If you have raised boys, you will get it! I learned to download a SVG file and import it into the Cricut design space. It wasn’t as hard as I thought.
Then I used the Contour editing tool to edit the design and just cut the trees for the front pocket. I used videos from the Cricut and Jennifer Maker websites to help guide me through the process.
Along the way, I did happen to see a cute little Valentine card to make too! It was a productive and creative weekend!
