Now's your chance - I have a video showing you how to do this below!
Today's "Trick or Treat" bag was made using the Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut cartridge. I made the following cut from the cartridge:
And then I got started on making my "Trick or Treat" bag (bag from Hobby Lobby).
Here's how to cut fabric in the Cricut:
1) Wash and dry fabric. Then, using heavy starch, iron the fabric on high heat with no steam. Iron item you are adhering the cut to.
2) Iron Heat 'n Bond onto fabric. Be sure and follow directions on package of Heat 'n Bond (lower setting on iron to medium, no steam).
3) Cut "trick or treat" out from the CTMH Artbooking cartridge at 8-3/4" REAL dial size using the following settings: Blade at 6, Pressure at 6, speed at 3 and multi-cut it 2 times. Fabric will be up on the mat, paper backing down on the mat.
4) Pull off paper backing on cut. Then iron as directed on Heat 'N Bond packaging. DO NOT OVER IRON - sticky goes away if you do this!
Cutting and adhering literally took 15 minutes. The most time consuming part was washing and drying the fabric beforehand.

I appreciated your video on cutting fabric on the Cricut. I definitely want to try that. I like to make Fall cards, mostly because I love the colors and images (leaves, acorns, etc.). In fact, I'm going to make some this weekend!
ReplyDeleteSure! I love the colors and images for fall, just don't have much time to make them.
ReplyDeleteI have done a handful of projects with fabric. In my opinion, it really makes a difference if you have a new blade and on the type of fabric. But, I maybe could have screwed it up somehow. Lol!
ReplyDeleteWould like to do some more projects soon.
Great tutorial!! Fall cards are great because I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteI love the ability to use fabric in my projects. Thank you so much Joy for sharing this very informative post that I am sure I will refer to again and again. Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteThat bag is just so cute!! I would love to make some projects using fabric so thank you for the great video!
ReplyDeleteI don't do fall cards just because I never seem to have enough time. I love fall colors and décor though...I have so many things to decorate with!
Love the Cute Trick or Treat Bag. Thanks for Sharing how to make it. Sounds simple enough. About the Fall Cards, I say YAY! I Love Fall,Everything about it. I Love making Fall Cards for my Family. So Excited about your Giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win. :0)

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for a great tutorial! I love to discover all the new fun applications for my Cricut. The Artbooking Cartridge seems like a must have. I say yes to Fall Cards! Fall is the very best time of the year and should be celebrated accordingly!!
ReplyDeleteFall is a super busy time for us ( harvest and all) so unless I thought ahead months, no I won't make fall cards, though I love them. You rock! With all the time you spend for your followers! It looks like a job and a half or two! Thanks
ReplyDeleteNay on Fall cards. I did make about 100 last year for a church group of kids for Thanksgiving to give to their parents letting them know what they were thankful for. Not sure I'll do that again but the thought has crossed my mind. Have a fun day!
ReplyDeleteFall cards... YAY.
ReplyDeleteJoy, this is FANTASTIC!!! Wow, I have to make some of these...so fun and festive! Thanks for the amazing video with instructions! Love it:)

Nay to fall cards. I just enjoy seeing finished products but I haven't made a fall card myself. Love the colors, though and the leaves!
ReplyDeleteNay on Fall cards. I'd rather go out and see the beauty of nature than make a fall card.

I love your bag super cute. Halloween will be here in no time.
ReplyDeleteLuria
I make fall cards for Operation Write Home and a few Thanksgiving cards. I would rather spent the time making Christmas cards!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute bag! Thanks for the tutorial. Your video is very well done!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat bag for Halloween. I have always been afraid of using fabric. I think I'll try it now. Thanks for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMary O'Neal
I don't think I will do too many, but some thanksgiving ones for my family that I will see. And especially for the ones that I will not see.
ReplyDeleteI dint really make fall cards but I should.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have this cartridge. :)
ReplyDeleteI make Halloween cards for my grandchildren, but that is the extent of my cards for Fall. The trick or treat bag that you created is very cute. I have never tried cutting material on my cricut but I might have to try it.
ReplyDeleteHoliday cards YAY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYEAH to Fall Cards .Love the site...

ReplyDeleteThank you for the fabric cutting tutorial. Definitely using this one.

Fabric is one of those things I never feel confident working with, but your video had some helpful tips I haven't tried. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fabulous project! I LOVE IT! You made it seem so simple and easy..I have never cut fabric before, have ventured into vinyl only a few times, but you make me brave enough to try it!
ReplyDeleteAs for fall cards... yes, I love to do them because Fall is my favorite season. Also it can be such a pick me up to somebody who's gone through the ordeal of back-to-school preps for kids or grankids. It's kind of a "look forward" to the upcoming holiday season!
What a great project, thks for sharng with us, seems so simple that I have to try it right away.
ReplyDeleteLove fall season, the colors, the leaves, the smell of the fresh air, lovely. And for the cards and projects its the perfect time.
