Robot Birthday Party Theme

This post has been sitting in my drafts folder for awhile. I had forgotten about it, so here it is 5 months later!

My little guy turned six, and since I had the Cricut Robot Party cartridge, I used that as my theme. I made Invitations, (forgot to take a pic of them) cupake toppers, a centerpiece, a banner, and painted a T-Shirt. (freezer paper stencil) It all turned out so cute; but boy, was it time consuming! I tend to be slow, and there was a lot of weeding to be done. LOL, my floor was cover in tiny pieces of paper.

The birthday boy, wearing the robot t-shirt. I placed the centerpiece at the base of the balloons



I made cupcakes and cute robot toppers. For Robbie's cupcake, I made an extra large one and made a wrapper for it. I used foil cups, since robots are made of metal.





I made this reversable banner. Once side has robots, and if you flip it around, it says 'happy birthday'

Simple St. Patrick's Day T-Shirt

I already had a blank green tee, so I asked Robbie if he wanted me to paint him up a St. Patrick's Day shirt. He very enthusiastically said YES! I asked him what he wanted it to say; and he said, "No Pinching." So, that's what I put on it. Yay, simple! I used my cricut and cut out a stencil from freezer paper. I used the Don Juan & Boys Will Be Boys cartridges. I also used a black fabric pen to outline the white lettering. I tried to write a wor freehand, but that failed, so, to cover up that mistake I painted a block and stenciled on the word 'absolutely', to emphasize there was to be NO PINCHING!  He loved it and can't wait to wear it. Score!!

I finally finished the black flame t-shirt!

So here it is. I used freezer paper stencil that I cut using the cricut expression. (george, car decals cartridges) He loves it and wore it today. The flames look like chili peppers; either way, it fits with the wording.

Still working on the black t-shirt...

I haven't messed with the black t-shirt in a while. I guess it's because I'm not real happy with it. I did finally add the freezer paper stencil wording to it. (my first attempt with freezer paper) I'm going to stencil on a boy (from the 'car decals' cartridge. and maybe a couple of flames coming up from the bottom of the shirt.

Another T-Shirt

I wanted to use the flame stencil on this black t-shirt. I like how the colors pop against the black. I used tulip so soft fabric paints-gold glitter, red velvet mixed with silver glitter, and azure blue metallic. At this point, I'm not sure if I'll add more 'stuff' to the shirt. Robbie wants flames on the back, too. I have to laugh because I placed the flames facing down on the shoulder area, and they kind of look like a 'chili strand'.

"Music-Live it Loud" Boys T-Shirt

This is the finished blue t-shirt I painted for my grandson. I really like it.  It says: "MUSIC LIVE IT LOUD LOUD LOUDER".  I made the stencil for the vertical word 'music', using my cricut machine and some vinyl scraps. I also used a combination of stamps and stencils as well.

"2 Fast 2 Loud" Boys T-Shirt

I saw the contest "Let's hear it for the boys" on the blog, "I am Momma-Hear Me Roar" and decided I would enter. I've been planning to try painting some t-shirts for my grandson, so this was a good reason to get started.

I bought several t-shirts at Michaels last week while they were 2/$5 and started with this red shirt. I had the car stencil and I knew I wanted to use it here. The rest of the shirt just evolved as I went along. (like most of my projects do)  I used a combination of stamps, stencils, tulip soft paints and tulip graffitti cannon paints with sprayer. I made the t-shirt for my 5 yr old grandson, who is full of ENERGY! He is fast, and loud and he loves cars. This was the perfect theme for him. It says alot about his personality and also reflects the reputation of the car. He loved it.

I'm also working on a blue shirt that is almost done evolving. I plan to enter it in the 'boys' contest as well.
You know there are so many sites with the most adorable girl stuff to make, but with a boy, one can only do so much! I can't wait to see the other entries so I can get some ideas to 'craft-lift'.
