This is what I made for the Wonderkid to wear to school today. I thought he needed a new shirt for Valentines Day. I partially chose this because one of his teachers refers to him as a love bug. The bug and the words "love bug" come from Simply Charmed cart. The "I'm a" is Mickey Font. Using Design Studio I added the heart to the "o" on "love" instead of the smiley face from the cart.
I used four colors of heat transfer vinyl (htv). I use my regular iron but I iron it on my washing machine as opposed to an ironing board. I've heard other people say they used a cookie sheet, I think that is likely to work also. I also use a small sheet of teflon to make sure it gets good and hot.
Here is a close-up of the shirt. It is tought to tell in these pictures but the lettering is pink and the heart is pink. It looks pretty cool in person, a little washed out in this picture, though.
What do you think? Is this fun or what?

OMG!!! This is so stinkin' CUTE! The teacher's must have really gotten a kick out of it. ADORABLE! xxD
Love the shirt! The main reason I bought my cricut (1 week ago)was to personalize and make t-shirts. I am sure I need to practice the basics first but this is my goal. Do you have any special tips or tricks, or directions? Where can you find heat transfer vinyl? GREAT JOB!
Cute shirt. Where do u purchase the HTV? I have looked all over locally and could not find any.
