I love how this turned out- from her sparkling hair to the furry flock fur . Do you love the fur???

Details - 20 inch character in cardstock and using flock from Pink & Main; I mixed two different colors flock to get the right shade of orange.

Bruno, Bruno, Bruno … he’s done! I started him before the convention and finished after coming back … and so I was able to incorporate adhesive flock from @pinkandmain after seeing this at @namtaartmaterialsassociation in Florida. It’s a lot of fun to work with.

Special thanks to @thecraftyblock for the shredded tassels to add to his shirt. If you haven’t seen her Bruno, you need to see what she used for his flip flops! Still my favorite part ❤️❤️❤️.

Svg file is from @thesaltyyankee !!! As well as the other encanto characters ❤️❤️❤️.

Next up is the candle from encanto with the new lights I found from @chibitronics 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻…

I had soooo many cool details for Mirabel that I was worried Isabela would be a flop. And I had already done Frida with lots of flowers. But I love how she turned out … looking like so much more than just a flat cardstock project. (And different from Frida cause I was worried this would look like a Frida 2.0 version).

It’s all in the details … I love the raised glasses… the htv flock for the black in the shirt … and any time you have an enclosed area like the black butterfly, you can easily get rid of the seams running through by cutting a piece of black cardstock to add over it. In the end, with a 48 inch character, she will have probably a total of .5 inches in seams that won’t be noticeable.

Toddler Belle is 3 ft tall and pretty much seamless (only in the black areas will you find small seams). She has rolled flowers and lots of pretty glitter cardstock.

And there’s one more Belle coming … teenage Belle!!! Lol. 💙💙💙💙.

I’m in love with this character - all the colors and textures on this project 🥰❤️😍. We have foil, glitter, my skin tone cardstock…

Canary - 27 inches of beautiful cardstock 💜❤️💚.There are two colors from my soon-to-be-available cardstock selection (the face and lips). What do you think???

There’s so much love on this girl! She has 6 shades of my curated skin color cardstock collection. The hair, face, and lips are 3 shades and if you take a look at the bandage, there are another 3 shades there.

And the bandages wobble as well as rotate on the bag. Sooo much fun on this little doctor ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

Love love love this project! Both the design space tutorial and the assembly portion are available. I’m really trying to take these projects to another level with different materials, different moving parts, different ways to slice it up to add dimension and allow for bigger pieces to look seamless… so follow me for all the tips and tricks ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

Bearly Arts 30 inch glitter bear!!! It turned out 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻. I know … it’s my unbiased, humble opinion 🤣😂😝😁😆.

Tips: Any enclosed area with a seam you can cut out a duplicate piece to cover. For example, the paw print - I cut another white paw print to put over that space to cover the seam.

I’m just playing around with Hello Kitty with different sizes and different ways to bling.What do you think?

Showing you all the steps on how I layer and cut the foam board ... and also how I do rhinestones (but this is definitely not my forte!!! lol)

Super easy to add a foam board - it will make the project sturdier and you can set against a table or wall to stand propped up ❤️❤️❤️.

Love love love how this turned out!!! Mixing a little luminous htv with my usual glitter cardstock for this craziness 🤡🤡😱just perfection 💛💛💛

26 inches and he glows in the dark! I used the luminous htv (heat transfer vinyl from Poli-Tape) on cardstock to get a super scary effect. In love!!

Tips:

1. I like to weld pieces together to make it easier to piece together and have fewer pieces to keep track of. For example check out the collar. I added little circles to connect pieces.

2. I struggled with the htv a bit because I didn’t apply enough pressure and heat. Next time it’ll be better. But I absolutely loved the results.

So March is Women's History Month and so I love how I stumbled upon Frida through a request from one of my followers. I have to admit that I knew very little about Frida prior to this - her unibrow, she's an artist and from Mexico. She's known for her self portraits, her love of Mexican and indigenous culture, and is a feminist icon... and I picked up a little fact that she loved her jewelry.

The video tutorials were different this time because each process took many hours. So for the design space tutorial, it was more of a ‘tour’ of what was on my canvas, why I did certain things, and how to work this file. Would love to get your thoughts on this!!!! And the assembly video did not go through the entire process. But trust me when I tell you it took many many hours 🤣😂😆.

I love it!!! The blue glitter outline of Matthew is over 18 inches long!!! With the overall Mickey centerpiece about 20 inches wide and 21 inches high. Not my typical off-the-mat character but it’s just as pretty 💙💙💙. And the hat is 4 inches high. Mini!!!

💀 Jack and sally - 37 inches x 22 inches of cardstock.

Look at that hair shine! I’m so excited to have discovered a new brand of glitter cardstock - Ground Up Creations!Now for the tips:💀 - at 37 inches they are practically seamless!!! In the video you can see a seam running through her dress. But that will disappear when this is glued to a foam board. It will stay flat and won’t catch the light reflection.

It’s Christmas time! Lol. So I’ve decided to have a fun Christmas tree craft room which is different from my living room fancy Christmas tree.

The grinch is 36 inches and he will have some company ... a nutcracker and Cindy Lou who will definitely be part of this scene. And lots more Christmas crafts to come.

It’s Tiana at 30 inches! She looks so pretty in person 💚💚💚💚.

Tips:

1. I see a lot of people flipping their mat over to pull off cardstock so it doesn’t curl the paper. I really hate to do that to my mat cause it picks up debris and makes the mat less sticky. If you pull the cardstock towards you as you unstick it from the mat, it works just as well ❤️.

I’m getting all sentimental and excited about hitting my one year mark as a crafting YouTuber .... so I wanted to challenge myself and make something as tall as my 5 1/2 yr old. I make cake toppers, iron-on vinyl on shirts, personalize anything and everything ... but i feel like when it comes to off-the-mat characters, I am a legit superstar 😁🤪😂🤣. This toddler Snow White is going to be bananas 🍌 🍌 🍌.

Queen Bee from LOL Surprise - she is 30 inches straight off the Cricut cutting mat (so nothing has been taped down). The skin color was hard to capture on camera. It’s a golden light brown that I’ve used for Princess Jasmine as well. It’s from Cricut’s Shimmer Paper - Bedazzled Sampler package.

Rainbow Brite ❤️💜💚💛💙🌈

She’s 30 inches and just so stinking cute in all her colors.

Learn how to determine the maximum size you can do with minimal seams (which in this case was 36 inches) AND learn how to exceed that and make it an entire foot longer (total of 48 inches - 4 feet high) with the same amount of seams 😍
