I couldn't wait to cut out this "Peace on Earth" cut from the
Cricut Scandinavian Christmas Card cartridge as soon as I saw it! Check out the
Cricut Scandinavian Christmas Card cartridge below:
I cut the "Peace on Earth" at 6" using iron-on vinyl - my new favorite product that you can buy
HERE at Expressions Vinyl. I got the pillow at World Market (see
HERE!) and I liked it immediately because the pillow case zips on and off, making iron-on a lot easier.
Now, I ran into some difficulties because this pillow is a bit velvety. So, it didn't want to iron-on quickly. Then, while it was still warm, I attempted to remove the plastic backing. Bad move! That messed up some of the sections. Not too badly, though, as they are hard to see in the photos above. But, what I learned is to wait and peel off when it cools. I found this out because I got frustrated when it messed up a bit and set the whole project aside, while I calmed down. Then, much later, I picked it back up again and went to peel off the plastic and it came off like a dream. If only I had been more patient...

Wow. I did not know that could be done with a cricut.
Great pillow! I started using iron on vinyl after seeing your subway art Christmas pillow. I've only done t-shirts so far but have purchased a pillow on which to experiment.

I am so excited about this pillow- I have wanted a "Goodmorning" and "Goodnight" sided pillow forever. They cost more than I am willing to pay. Then I come to this blog and what do I see?? An idea to just go ahead and make MY OWN. I love this blog! Thanks!
I love that you made this with unconventional holiday colors, and the sentiment is one that can stand alone all year long. Thanks for thinking outside the box.
Very nice work tfs!

Very cute-love the pillow. I would never think to do that. TFS
Nice job!! I don't have this cartridge, but I am sure that I can get somewhat the same effect with using my gypsy with a good font and a star, I have the perfect pillow to do this on. Now over to Expressions Vinyl to puchase some vinyl for this and the pumpkins!! Thank for the great ideas!!
Wow, iron on vinyl, how neat. The colors you used are sooo beautiful!

Hey Joy, love the tip about iron on vinyl. Didn't realize they made an iron on version. Good to know. Perfect for pillows. Just curious, is this pillow green or blue. It looks blue in your picture and also on the link you gave us, but it says green.
