Hybrid Hand Towel

Hybrid Hand Towel

Hi Pad Peeps!!  It's Katrina here today to share a tutorial on how to use your digital supplies to make custom hand towels for your kitchen, camper, or gifts (think ahead to Christmas!!). It's pretty easy, but I wouldn't recommend this as a kid friendly project, just for the hot iron.  But they could always help you time the steps!Supplies you will need of this project are: Digital editing/printing program aka Photoshop for me! Cotton tea towel.  I picked up a pack of two at a local craft store and used a coupon for a deal! Digital elements of your choice Inkjet printer Iron Inkjet Transfer Sheets (I used Therm O Web brand)You will want to wash and dry your towels before putting the transfer on them.  This will get chemicals out of the towels and also if shrinkage happens, it won't affect your design.Start off by creating a document in Photoshop at … [Read more...]

Straw Rockets For The 4th

Hi there, it's Katrina, aka katrinahunt13, here to share a hybrid project that you can get the kids involved with.  I know we have international pad members, but this coming Tuesday is the United States 4th of July, which means summer party!  Summer parties, usually mean gatherings of kids too!  What I am sharing today is a fun and safe way for the little ones to "shoot" fireworks also.  And bonus, they don't need to wait until dark and they won't run out of things to shoot!I give you Straw Rockets!!!  I will list the supply list below, but chances are you have everything already on hand!  And the digital supplies from The Lilypad store are fun to use this way and can be adapted for any party or activity!  For this project, I used Bella Gypsy's Rad, White and Blue collection.  So the supplies you will need are a printer and regular printer paper (cardstock is too heavy for this), … [Read more...]

Hybrid Boo Banner with Bella Gypsy Designs

It's Katrina or kathunt13 giving you a fun and quick idea for a Halloween decoration that you and your kids could complete together.  Did I mention quick?!  I am a sucker for banners to decorate with.  Plus I love to create them, so bonus!  Have you seen the Halloween category in the store?  There are LOTS of fun goodies in there on sale.  I picked up the Bella Gypsy Wicked Cute Bundle to work with and I am in love with all the color, patterns and elements.  We also have a fun Halloween Bash going on in the forum.  You can find it HERE.So this was so simple to make.  I actually used my Silhouette with the print and cut feature, along with pulling in patterns and filling shapes, but you can easily do this just printing out and cutting by hand.  This took me about an hour to do and that includes figuring out what I wanted to use!   This would be so cute on your front door, on a mantle … [Read more...]
