I’ve had so much fun with the Siser Glow HTV! If you missed Part 1 – check it out HERE. Siser Glow HTV can be cut with any cutting machine and I was swapping back and forth in my creations between Silhouette and Siser machines. Sometimes I had both going at the same time.

I had Siser Juliet set up in one room cutting away, while my Silhouette Cameo was cutting next to my computer (shown in Siser Glow HTV Part 1). With the Siser Juliet connected through WIFI, I regularly cut from one room to the next. The Juliet roll holder came in handy for these projects and my rolls of Siser Glow HTV.

One of the most important steps you can do is – test cut, test cut, test cut. It seems like such a basic step, but it can save you!!! Siser machines make it so easy to perform this simple action directly on the touchscreen and it will save you so much in time, materials, and frustration.

For more tips on getting your Siser machine and blade set up for perfect cuts, check out these videos on the Swift Creek Customs YouTube channel.

– Siser Area Test – a material saver, just like test cut!!!

I think I found my new favorite shirt for awhile. I’ve been collecting these designs by Sophie Gallo just waiting for the perfect projects. Find this design HERE.
Here is a look at the back of the shirt.

I don’t know why I have never really decorated the back of my shirts and I hadn’t ever though about it until I started following MammaBearKay and watching her post her shirts. She runs an awesome business with adult humor shirts.

Here is a look at the Siser Glow HTV in the dark.

And the same shirt under the blacklight.

I’ve already several compliments on it when I have worn it out. Everyone gets a good laugh.

Here is a look at the front. I just took the little guy out of the original design and cut him smaller for the front. If I did this over, I think I’d put him on the other side, but it’s done now and I can always make another.

Let’s light him up!

After dark

And under the blacklight.

But I didn’t stop there…..

My son loves games, so this design from Leonardo Design Studio was perfect!

What kid doesn’t like a glow-in-the-dark shirt? Unless they are playing hide-and-seek or kick the can of course!

I was having so much fun creating. Little green men should glow right?

And I couldn’t leave Siser Romeo out of the fun! As soon as I had the Siser Glow HTV in my hands I had a BIG idea. It was only after I created the design that I realized I didn’t have Siser Glow HTV in the size I needed. So I called in a special request at The Vinyl Spectrum and ordered larger sizes.

I grabbed 16″ x 20″ Black Canvas frame at Michaels and had it ready to go when my Siser Glow HTV order arrived.

I created the design in the Siser Leonardo Design Studio software using basic drawing tools and the ES Neon Light font by Erik Studio.

I love how it has a different look depending on the blacklight or in the dark.

I’ll be sharing more about this project in the future so stay tuned on the blog and the Swift Creek Customs YouTube channel too!

Grab some Siser Glow HTV and I would love to see what you create with it no matter what cutting machine you have!

I have been having a lot of fun…. maybe too much, but once I get started, it’s hard to stop.

Here is a little behind-the-scenes look at what my studio looked like a few weeks back when I was in the middle of all my creations.

Siser Easy Glow HTV arrived and I went creative crazy! So many ideas came to mind and I just started designing and cutting. I have lots I want to share with you, but I’ll have to split it into 2 parts to share it all. I may have also made myself my new favorite shirt too! (see Siser Glow Part 2)

Siser Easy Glow HTV can be cut with any cutting machine. I used both Silhouette and Siser cutting machines and it cut beautifully!

The first thing to do is test cut! Let me say it again so it sinks in – test cut, test cut, test cut. I started with the recommended settings on the Siser website for Easy Glow and did my test cuts. Your machine, blade life, and many other factors go into what cut settings will work for you in that moment.

For tips more tips that will save you time and frustration check out this post on Test Cuts and also Perfect Cut Settings.

And then I was off and cutting once I knew I wouldn’t waste materials. My kids are getting older and Trick or Treating is still big in our area, no matter their age. But the little cute plastic buckets aren’t doing it anymore.

Siser Easy Glow + Black Canvas Tote Bags = FUN!!!!
I wanted each bag to be different and used the following designs:
– Trick or Treat by Echo Park – Design #226065
– Trick or Treat by Megan Hardy Designs – Design #223278
– Trick or Treat by Jamie Lane Designs – Design #386658

Siser Easy Glow HTV when charged works in the dark or with a blacklight. The photo above is after dark.

And blacklight makes it pop too! Who knew I’d be adding a blacklight to my crafting tools.

Then I asked each one to pick out a design for the other side that they wanted.
They picked out the following designs:
– Skeleton by Erica Digital Designs – Design #447512
– Pumpkin by FoxSister – Design #273879
– Pumpkin by FoxSister – Design #273881

A look at the dancing skeleton after dark with his pumpkin friends.

And playing in the blacklight.

And this little dancing skeleton is not alone.

Check out this awesome video from Siser North America – I love it!
