Shrinky Dinks for my DGD!

My DGD has a witch costume she plays with all year long so I decided to make her some earrings and necklace with it! I priced them at the party store and cricut always comes to mind. I already had some shrinky dink material and couldn't wait to get home to figure out what I could make! This is my creation! My DIL might want to try to make and sell them! Cheap entertainment! More for me than the kids! teehee!

I used the Imagine and flood filled the witch and bat from Happy Hauntings at 3". They shrink up to about 1 1/2". The Imagine cut these like a dream. I'll warn you that you can't use a heat embossing tool because the brooms curl up but if you bake them they don't! I sealed them with Modge Podge Sealer. The black is so heavy if you don't it rubs off! Great fun! Can't wait to give them to DGD this weekend!!

Tip! When printing and cutting on Imagine, the page I used was a 8x10, and it only 2 on a page at 3". I then changed it to 10x10 and you can then get 4 on page at that size! I'm going to do the next batch on my gypsy so maybe even more on a page!! Also had to print this black in draft mode or it didn't dry! I was asked about printing a block in the printer and cutting on cricut, I tried that but it didn't dry either, but maybe it would work also on draft?!
Have a great weekend! I'll be very busy but hope to get time to submit more challenges! I may use this for my home decor submission!

Halloween Home Decor Challenge!

This months challenge on Cricut circle blog is to create a home decor project and include at least 2 different cricut images. Prize is $150! on cricut.com. And its at random! Thats great because I have way too many projects going on right now! We are really buzzing with the Lions Club and fund raisers right now! We had a golf tournament last week, a pancake supper last night, a garage sale/fundraiser for an autistic child with an enormous amount of medical bills, and we're gearing up already for 800+ children on our Angel Tree this year! Need to start my 3 advent trees for my grandkids and a friends child! and my christmas cards! woo! I'm tired thinking about it!
I made DGD Faith and her little sister a monogrammed bag to carry on Halloween, made Faith some jewelry, the bat necklace and the witch earrings. She already has the earrings but forgot her bat necklace so can only show the necklace and a pic I took of the earrings made from Shrinky Dinks!! I've been selling the heck out of those! And I made some lions for Lions club! Sold a ton of those! I can't keep up with those either! but they take the Imagine for color and the E2 for marking and cutting. I'll explain with pic later!

I saved the bat necklace to add to the little triangular box I made from MS Halloween paper and the box on All Wrapped Up, the Boo on the box and the spider (which you can't tell but was distressed with Rangers Distress black embossing, looks awesome on spiders!) is from Happy Hauntings of course, as well as the frame with DGD pic and the bat necklace and witch, which are made from shrinky dinks!! DGD bag was from a pack of 3 I bought a while back for a project I never got around to, real shocker, I know! So made all 3 grandkids a bag. With their drippy names on them! DGS Chance had a skeleton on it and he loved it! The witch, bat and Faith was done with Cool Iron on transfers! they are so easy now when you get the ones for bright or dark colored material. No more peeling!!
Thanks for stopping by! Aren't those witch earrings adorable? The necklace on the black flexible chain is for Kallie. If Faith had 1 she had to have something! those brooms are very fragile at that size! If there weren't so many sharp corners it would be better to cut them by hand to keep that part thicker than the I cuts it!
I'll be back with the cute lions and snow men I made and selling the heck out of them!
