Imagine Nation blog hop: Design your own T-shirts !!! / Dise~na tus propias "T-shirts" !!!

So happy you arrived safely from Meriah's blog at http://twoscraptasticgals.blogspot.com/ !!! I am sooooo excited with this blog hop, mainly because my Cricut IMAGINE is my new love and I want to share that with all of you !!! Previously on my blog, I posted two projects I had made with my IMAGINE using white cardstock: I made a wall hanging and a card. This machine is so wonderful, that this time I printed and cut iron-on-transfer paper, to make beautiful T-shirts for my grandson. The results were amazing !!! And best of all, I did a whole pack of 5 white T-shirts in about an hour, and that is including ALL the ironing time. I could have gone on and on !!!  LOL Now what I need are more IMAGINE cartridges to have a wider variety of themes to work with. And now, without further ado, I present to you: MY PROJECT !!!

***** Estoy muy feliz de compartir con ustedes mi gran entusiasmo con la nueva maquina Cricut IMAGINE. Anteriormente en mi blog, puse dos proyectos que cree usando cartulina blanca: un adorno de pared y una tarjeta. Esta maquina es tan maravillosa que esta vez el papel que imprimi y corte fue "iron-on-transfer" para hacer dise~nos en camisetas para mi peque~no nieto. Los resultados fueron espectaculares !!! Lo mejor de todo, fue que logre hacer 5 camisetas en menos de una hora! Ahora, sin mas preambulos, les presento: MI PROYECTO !!!****

What you need:
***Necesitas:

• White cotton T-shirts (**Camisetas blancas de algodon)
• Iron on transfer paper for inkjet printers. I used Print'n Press that I got at Walmart. (Papel de transferencia para impresoras inkjet)

• Cricut IMAGINE machine
• Cricut IMAGINE art cartridges ( I used Nursery Tails and Imagine More)
• Iron (**plancha)
• other embellishments are optional (**Otros adornos son opcionales.)

Let's do it! :
***Hagamoslo!:

• Wash, dry and iron the T-shirts .Do NOT use fabric softener.(**Lave, seque y planche la camiseta. No use suavizador)
• Set your IMAGINE machine: (**Ajuste su maquina IMAGINE)
• pressure: 3 (**presion)
• depth: 4 (**profundidad)
• speed: 3 (**velocidad)
• select the "combine" button on the top-left part of your screen (**seleccione el boton "combine")

• 
  
  IMPORTANT: Select the "FLIP HORZ" button if you are using words on your transfer. You can select this button on the "mat" screen, also. Not doing this will cause that the written messages come out backwards when you iron it to the T-shirt. (***Seleccione el boton "FLIP HORZ" para invertir las letras. De esta manera, cunado planche la imagen, las letras le quedaran al derecho)

• 
  
  This is how the cut and printed image looks like on the mat.

Now, let's put our T-shirt together:

• 
  
  Iron the image onto the T-shirt (**Planche la imagen a la camiseta)

• 
  
  carefully remove the paper backing when it is cold (** Remueva el papel blanco cuando este frio y disfrute su creacion!!!)
• 
  
  enjoy your new creation !!!!!!

Other designs I made:

NOTE: The pumpkin is one of the images that comes "built in" the machine. It is only a silhouette of a pumpkin. I used paint markers to embellish it and to make the face. (*** La calabaza es solo una silhueta. La pinte con marcadores de pintura para hacer la carita)

It was so nice having you stop by and I really hope you come back again some other time :)
