April 26, 2013 by Josh Ellsworth

Technically yesterday was national take your child to work day…but I had my daughter Madalyn visit for a long lunch today and we did some t-shirt decorating. I wanted to share our finished product. Now let me give you some background on these shirts… The dance school she attends sells a shirt each year for the dance recital. All of the kids wear them and apparently “bling” them up. When I joined her at dance class the night she received […]

A Great Day to Share this Photo and a Birthday T-Shirt Idea

March 21, 2013 by Josh Ellsworth

I wanted to share a photo of my beautiful niece Delilah Jane wearing a personalized t-shirt.

Printing the cupcake on Express Print for the zebra pattern effect and then dropping the Pink Glitter Flake on top for the icing. […]

July 3, 2012 by Josh Ellsworth

I’ve been watching the Olympic trials over the past few nights and with the Summer games approaching we’re starting to excited about the possibilities for Team USA in the various sports. One sport that I haven’t watched too much until now is Gymnastics. My 3-year-old daughter is just starting to try dance classes like ballet, jazz and tap as well as gymnastics at our local YMCA.

Bling Heat Transfer Film Kit Announced with Video

May 8, 2012 by Josh Ellsworth

The cost could quickly add up. Not any more! Based on your direct feedback we’ve created CAD-CUT® Marketing Kits to help you sample and sell new, popular transfer films. The first […]
