Cricut - BE MINE - Blog Hop

Oh my gosh -- it's FEBRUARY!!  (Ummm, where did January go?!)  I am excited to be a stop in the 

Cricut 💗 Be Mine 💗 Valentine's Day Blog Hop!  I've got a fun, easy {layered} iron-on for the candy lover in your life!  For me, it's my youngest that considers candy one of the main food groups.😜

I hopped on the Cricut train last summer with the Explore Air 2.  In November, I received the {new} Cricut Maker (stay tuned for a FULL review because you need one!)  This past month, I have used my Maker nearly everyday and am constantly looking for new projects.  Iron-on is one of my favorite things to do because it's SO easy with big results.  

Valentine's Day Iron-On: XOXO {I'm just here for the candy} 

Materials Needed:

• Cricut Machine
• Iron-On Foil (Red)
• Iron-On Lite (Metallic Blush)
• Iron-On Lite (Cocoa or Brown)
• XOXO {I'm just here for the candy} cut file
• Shirt
• Iron
• Protective Cloth

Step 1: Open the cut file in Design Space (Cricut) and verify the sizing is suitable for your project (the current size is for a Girls' 4/5)

Step 2: Cut your Iron-On Materials & Weed Your Cuts

(NOTE: Be sure to MIRROR image in the Make It section and place Iron-On Shiny side down)

Step 3: You should now have 3 separate layers:

Step 4:  Find the Vertical Center of your shirt. Press.

Step 5: Place your layered Iron-On cuts in place to verify placement -- DO NOT IRON YET!

Step 6: Remove the top TWO layers, leaving just the bottom layer (Metallic Blush). Place protective cloth over and iron according to package instructions.  

Please make note whether you need to peel hot or cold.

Step 7: Place the middle layer (Brown/Cocoa). Place protective cloth over and iron according to package instructions.  

Please make note whether you need to peel hot or cold.

Step 8: Place your final/top layer (Red Foil). Place protective cloth over and iron according to package instructions.

You're finished!!
