Celebrating Autism with SRM Vinyl by Shanna

Celebrating Autism with SRM Vinyl

Hello SRM friends!  Shanna here today with a project that is very near and dear to my heart!  

April is Autism Awareness Month, a month that celebrates anyone on the ASD spectrum :)  ASD stands for Autism Spectrum Disorder, and spreads across a HUGE range of differences in the autistic community.  This is so special to me because my youngest child is on the spectrum. I wanted to celebrate him this month especially so I designed a t-shirt for him to wear!  I had trouble deciding on a single design, so I ended up combining two separate design files from the Silhouette Store to make my own design come to life.  

SRM carries Siser EasyWeed HTV and it made the project turn out better than I had ever envisioned and as you might be able to tell....my little guy loved it as well!  

Materials used:

I hope you all enjoyed my project today....Until next time!

Fat & Fabulous T- Shirt by Tobi

Hello there! It's Tobi here, and I'm sharing my first heat-transfer vinyl project with you today. 

Yes, my first project... That's how easy it is! I can see how this craft is addicting (all of the tutorials I've watched say it) and now I'm looking around my house to see what else I can embellish. 

For today, I purchased: 

1) a plain black t-shirt

2) an iron (because yah... I didn't have one, haha)

3) heat-transfer vinyl in pink and silver glitter

The final product was the result of a happy accident - the "Fabulous" was originally pink, but the cut didn't cut properly, so I decided to cut it out of silver. I think it worked out perfectly! 

And here's me in my brand new shirt, wearing it loud and proud!!! 

Thanks for taking a look, and trust me, try heat-transfer vinyl!! 

So fun, so easy, and it looks amazing!

Modern Wedding Favors with Heat Transfer Vinyl by Emma

Greetings, fellow crafty people!  Emma here today to share an awesome idea for wedding favors with a twist, of course using SRM supplies.

When my husband and I got married 14 years ago, Pinterest didn't exist (I know, the horror!)  So, this kind of inspiration for cool and modern wedding accessories only appeared in expensive bridal magazines.  At the time, although I longed to create something like that on the glossy pages, it seemed very out of reach.  Well, not any more!

SRM stocks these amazing fabric bags, which are perfect for all kinds of embellishments.  For this project, I'm using a cool metallic orange heat transfer vinyl.  

My wedding favors are going to contain tea bags, as I thought it was a fun theme.  I cut the vinyl with my Silhouette Cameo machine and applied it to the fabric bag.  The font I used was called 'Sign Painter', and the swirls were available in the Silhouette Design Space software.  (Remember to flip your design to a mirror image before cutting!  Otherwise the letters will be back-to-front when you apply the design..)

So, of course my wedding was a while ago now, but maybe one day I'll get to use some of these crafty ideas for one of our children's weddings.  It's certainly fun to create things and share them with you!

Happy crafting!
