Today's pillow project was made using the new Cricut Teresa Collins Sophisticated cartridge. I just love, love, love the word art on this cartridge. There is a whole feature key dedicated to the word art. I love the elegance of the Teresa Collins cartridges. Check out the images below:
I took a striped 20" x 20" pillow case as the base for this project.
First, I ironed it (again with the iron...).
Then, using the Cricut, I cut out the "Home Sweet Home" word art with black fabric at 14-1/2" using a 12x24 inch mat. Use the portrait key in the regular Expression to get the image sized at 14-1/2". I did test out how it looked using black paper before I settled on a size.
Using the same steps to cut fabric with the Cricut as shown in Wednesday's post, I then ironed it onto the pillowcase and put the pillow back in. Viola! All done! Quick and easy!
Did you see the new Cricut cartridges released yesterday?
Melanie and I have projects up for all the new cartridges on our personal blogs, Obsessed with Scrapbooking and Courtney Lane Designs! Be sure to check it out!
Finally, don't forget we are giving away an Ornamental Iron Cricut cartridge and TWO Martha Stewart Cricut Cake cartridges (Elegant and Seasonal Cake Art).
Leave a comment below to win the Ornamental Iron cartridge and a comment HERE to enter to win one of the two Martha Stewart Cricut Cake cartridges
Have a great day!

I love all of your ideas!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Ok, now that's nice. I liked the images, but wasn't sure if I'd have a use for them. I really wish the book was up in the cartridge library so I could browse the rest of the cartridge images & decide whether or not to add it to the list. Thank you for showing us this pillow project. I'm definitely convinced to give this cartridge another look.
Lovely project, Joy! all these new carts are fab! Bet it's been keeping you busy!!!
Your pillow looks great and this is a cool cartridge. I just can't wait until we can see all the feature key images somewhere.
Love this pillow! Will the Imagine cut fabric as well? I know I can't put a large mat in but I'm assuming I can cut fabric if I can cut vinyl. I'm so tempted to try after seeing your gorgeous projects. TFS!
Cute pillow. i love this cart. can't wait for it :)
