Can Cozies

I made some fun can cozies with Square 1 Masterpiece and my Cricut Imagine!

You can find out more information about Square 1 Repositionable Adhesive Back Fabric HERE!

I used my Cricut Imagine to print and cut a sheet of Repositionable Adhesive Backed Fabric.  I selected two images from Imagine More Cards (the heart is for a different project).

I will be using the Friends image for today's project.

I have never cut vinyl on my Imagine so I guessed on the settings, but I had my blade too low and it cut through the backing.  Not a problem though - it was like peeling a sticker off the backing!!

I flipped the sheet over and re-loaded it.  I cut Girls Rule and Boys Drool from Best Friends in the uncut space.

It fit perfectly!!  I would normally use my Gypsy for this but for some reason Gypsy and Imagine don't like to talk to each other.

I stuck this image to my Expression to show you how easy it is to remove and restick this product!

I peeled it off the Expression the next day without any problems.

I stuck it on a foam can hug from Michaels.  Because it is a curved surface, I had some bubbles initially.  I was able to smooth them out without a problem.

Here are a few of my favorite drinks - Crystal Lite lemonade and Diet Dr. Pepper!!

It's All About Pets Blog Hop

If you found me first, please go to the BEGINNING of the hop.  You should have arrived from HERE.  Thanks for joining us for the All About Pets Blog Hop!  We are celebrating pets!!

Funny that I signed up for an All About Pet Hop when I have no pets.  I am allergic to cats and most dogs and I run an in-home daycare.  I have dog-nephews and even a horse-neice and horse-nephew, but I already scrapped and posted the pictures I had.....   I needed to make a thank you card for a friend who is a cat lover and I thought that would be perfect for this hop!

I am trying to use my expensive dust collector (aka Imagine) so I found this cat from the Best Friends cartridge.  I took the cat paper and filled in the scallop shape to create a mat so I could add dimension.  I also cut out some other images (as I typically do when I use my Imagine) so I can fill up the paper and create less waste.

Here are my images printed and cut out.

I inked the edges of the layers with Vintage ink from Tim Holtz.  I adhered the layers together along with a strip of blue paper behind the mat.  I used stickles to glitter it up ~ my friend Linda is a self-proclaimed glitter girl!!

I tucked this tag inside the card.

I added a couple of gems to each side and to her collar.  I am including my extra cat cuts in the card for her to use if she wishes.

Here is my blog candy today ~ a mini album that would make a great pet brag book and some kitty and doggie buttons.  Please leave a comment and share a pet story. 

We had a big black cat named Fraidy when I was a kid (before my allergies kicked in) .  He was afraid of everything!  He would sit at the window and watch the birds fly over the house.  We lived in a ranch house and Fraidy would perch on the desk in my parent's room and then dart down the hallway into the family room and jump on the back of the couch and watch out the front window.  One day, he ran a bit too fast and bonked his head on the window (poor kitty)!

Your next stop in the hop is GILL!
