It’s no secret that I love glitter. Everything is better with a little glitter thrown on it, right? When I received a T-shirt and glitter heat transfer vinyl from Happy Crafters, I knew that I wanted to make a shirt to reflect my affection for glitter.

I’ve been using adhesive vinyl for over two years, but I remember when I first got my Cricut Explore. I was so confused about what Vinyl Transfer Tape is and how to use it. I’m going to show you my favorite transfer tape by Expressions Vinyl.

I’m so in love with fall this year. I’m a spring-summer person, and I usually dread fall and the cooler weather. However, this year, I’m going to enjoy it along with the mums, pumpkins, and autumn colors and decorations. Expressions Vinyl has adhesive vinyl in beautiful fall colors perfect for making decor this time of year.
I already made some fall decorations using my Cricut Maker, like these Halloween Pumpkins and this set of beautiful Kitchen Towels.
I thought a pretty set of Fall Dishes would be pretty sitting on the china cabinet during November after the Halloween decorations are put away.

Coming up with gift ideas for friends and family that have everything is difficult, but these DIY Personalized Buckets using the Cricut Explore or the Cricut Maker are a great idea.
My husband and I had been invited to a wedding in three years, but wouldn’t you know, a few weeks ago we had two in one day. Both of the couples are awesome, and fortunately both weddings were in the same town.

This is the sweetest Baby Halloween Shirt ever. When I saw it in the Cricut Projects in Design Studio, I knew I HAD to make one.
My kids are older, and I don’t think my 10 year old grandson would like this shirt. However, I was determined to find a sweet little girl would totally rock it!

When I received a roll of Angel Direct Products vinyl, it looked pretty ordinary, however when I started using it, I had an “AHA! Moment”.
Normally, when you receive vinyl, it is rolled tightly into a small roll, but the Angel Direct Products vinyl was on a 2 1/2″ cardboard core. Honestly, I didn’t think that it would make much difference, but YES IT DOES!
Fighting with a 12×12 piece of adhesive vinyl is sort of like trying to stuff 5 frisky cats into a cardboard box. You need lots of hands and even more patience! Even then, you end up with a few scratches, a torn box, and a mouthful of expletives!
I was sent this product at no charge in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own. I would never endorse a product that I found unsatisfactory.
Because Angel Direct Products vinyl is on a larger core, it unrolls easier and doesn’t curl so bad. Ahhhhh! Now there’s music to my ears! Curling vinyl isn’t too bad if you are working on a small project, but when you’re making a large sign, it’s down right aggravating!
During Blitsy’s Black Friday Sleepover Party, the last challenge was to make something gold. I don’t have much gold, and there was a time limit. So, I was a little rushed!
I had this decorative gold bucket that I bought last year. I thought it would look good with some gold glitter trim.
This was a really quick project, but I love how it turned out! I’m trying to find a small white Christmas Cactus to put in it. Watch this video for more crafty information.
As a side note, I LOVE glitter! It’s a good thing too. I was wearing black and had gold glitter all over me. It also made me sneeze and cough, and I had it all over my laptop. I think it was rather festive. Nothing like a little sparkle and shine to kick off the Christmas season!

We made these fun Halloween Mason Jars using clear jars. They were very easy to make. Once you learn how to use the vinyl with your Cricut, you’ll want to make lots of Cricut vinyl projects! Some were mason canning jars, and some were empty pickle and mayonnaise jars.
At a recent crafting weekend, I taught the ladies how to use vinyl with their Cricut Machines. Everyone knew that the Cricut would cut vinyl, and some of the ladies had even bought some, but they hadn’t tried it.
