Customized T-Shirts for Twins

Did I mention that the 2nd half of this class is all about using a die cutting machine! Well it is. 

Here are 2 t-shirts I created as a birthday gift for 3 year old twins.  I got the idea from shirts a friend of my mom's had made for my twin brothers when they were little.  

The front of the shirt 

and 

the back of the shirts. 

I had so much fun creating these shirts.  I used silhouette iron on vinyl and flocked vinyl. 

Using the font option I created the words for the t's which say 

FRONT 

Hi, I'm... Sam/Jack

BACK

He's Sam/Jack

I felt like the shirts were too plain with just the words on them so I found these cute little monsters throughout the silhouette store. 

Here's the info on them

I made the monsters on the front of the shirts larger than the back.  

I purchased the t-shirts from Hobby Lobby using a 40% off coupon so the 2 shirts cost about $6 for the two! 

I look forward to trying this out for another friend of mine who has twin girls that are identical.  

Have fun with your Cameo! I know I am.

Baby Shower Onesie Invite!

So the many wonderful things they have taught us in this class is shaped cards. I haven't done a lot of shaped cards (outside of circles and squares) but I have done this one recently for a co-worker who's son's wife is having twins.  This entire card was created using my Silhouette Cameo. sorry about the quality of the photo but I didn't make any extras.

I added the small brads on the bottom to represent the buttons. I also added a little crystal to dot the i.  The white stitching was done with a white gel pen. I ran the leaves through my xyron to adhere which was much easier then a glue pen (which I started with).

The back has all the information about the shower.

Have fun creating with your Cameo! I know I am!

Cameo Created Baby Shower invite!

I am having so much fun with my Cameo these days. I have created some great baby shower invitations for a co-worker. Here's one for her daughter in law who is having a boy and LOVES monograms!

sorry about the blurred parts. I thought it was only right to get rid of that information.  

Anyway... what it did! 

I used my Silhouette Cameo for the monogram and the blue circles that monogram sits on.  I could have stamped these and punched them out with a hand punch but the time I saved by having the Cameo do it and the cleanness of the monogram it self is well worth it. 

I used the print and cut feature for the monogram which I created by simply using the font. I used placed a circle down so I know the dimensions I was working in. I then cut and paste the number of monograms that I needed which happened to be 30.  On a separate file I created the circles that I was going to put the monogram on.  I cut them, popped the monogram up with pop dots and there you have it.  

Well not totally. I cut the white paper to the size I wanted (just shy of the blue paper which is 4.25 x 5.5)

I printed those on my printer and adhered them to the blue card stock. I used  white gel pen and added the dashed lines. I really think that gave it a little something that it needed! I also added some ribbon that I had left over in my SU stash.  

Happy a great day!
