GeNiUS t-shirt

Good morning my fellow Cricuteers!


I hope you had a fabulous weekend and that you are having a Terrific Tuesday.. We had a very nice Labor Day and we are ready to "start" the work/school week... Speaking of school, today as my project for Exploring Cricut I  want to share with you a T-shirt inspired by the Periodic Table of Elements...

I cannot claim this idea as mine, since I saw a young man wearing a similar one the other day, sadly he had no clue were it came from but of course I remember I had a brand new roll of white Iron On Vinyl to play with ;)... I looked online and found a few places that sell similar shirts  like this and this ... I think this idea is so geeky cute and above all super simple.

 I used Cricut Iron On Vinyl in white and a black PRE-WASHED T-shirt from Joann's.

 Confession time: I was a little afraid of cutting tiny letters out of this vinyl, so I only used the Atomic numbers which are about 1/3 of an inch tall, and the symbols are 1.19" tall, each square is about 2.75". I used Nate's ABC's for the element symbols and for the atomic numbers Cricut Craft Room Basics font.

 
This is my very first project using Iron on Vinyl and it was fairly easy to use, with the exception of the little tiny dot for the "8" above Ni that was hard to iron on.
 
 When using Iron on Vinyl follow the instructions included with it, and DON'T forget to mirror your image:
 
 
 
 
I have already washed this shirt and it still looks good - of course I washed it inside out on the gentle cycle and did not put it in the dryer just to be on the safe side ;)
 
Have you tried Cricut's Iron on Vinyl yet? I am hooked on it now!! I think I will use the negative cuts from this project to create a second shirt so stay tuned ;) ...I hope you like this project and that you continue to visit Exploring Cricut daily for more inspiration :)

Thank you for stopping by, I do appreciate your comment, have a wonderful and blessed day!

Good morning cricuteers!! I hope your week is off to a fabulous start! This fine Monday morning brings another Exploring Cricut Challenge! . This week we are having a Christmas in July Blog hop/ Challenge. So If you came from Michelle S blog you are in the right place! If you just happen to stumble upon my blog ;) and would like to check out all the inspiration provided by the Exploring Cricut  team please start here. There might be a few surprises along the way ::hint:: I hope you join us on this blog hop and challenge!!    For my project I Created a Card/Gift bag Decor. I have seen some " Card Holders" that you add to the front of a plain GB to help you "show off" your card, after all you have invested time and effort into it so why not showcasing it as part of the gift wrap :).. ( But for the life in me I cannot recall where I saw them or what they are called :?)  Got inspired from this idea . So if anyone knows please let me know so I can give credit...
