Colored Shrink Film
Robotz Cricut cart - initials @1 3/4"
Plantin Schoolbook Cricut cart - Image 9 @ 1 3/4" (starburst shape), Image 36 @ 1 3/4" (heart), Image9 @ 1 3/4" using the shift (starburst with the circle cut out of the middle- I even used the middle piece just for fun--small green piece)
Wedding/Marriage Cricut cart - cross @ 1 3/4"
For cutting this material with my Cricut I used settings: Blade 6, Multi-Cut 2, Pressure 5, Speed 4. Punch your hole before baking them. I had my oven @300 degrees and they took about 6 min to shrink fully. I used parchment paper to line my cookie sheet and another piece to cover the shrink plastic piece. As soon as I removed them from the oven I smoothed them out with the bottom of a drinking glass made of glass. And I let the glass sit on it until it was cooled enough to touch...a few minutes.
This was my first time using the Shrink Film. You do need to work quickly to smooth them out once they come out of the oven. I only did a few shapes at a time...
Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Holidays!
