Square1 Printable Adhesive Fabric Marvin the Martian Laptop using Silhouette SD + GIVE AWAY
DON’T MISS THE GIVE AWAY AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST!
Silhouette just came out with some Looney Toons characters that work with their print and cut function. When I saw Marvin was one of them, I just had to spend a big .99 and download him. He cracks me up. Do you know why he’s always trying to destroy Earth? It obstructs his view of Venus. LOL!! You’re right. That’s not funny at all. He’s very evil. However, he’s also very amusing since his schemes are always foiled by Bugs Bunny AND he’s wearing a broom on his head. He should consult his people for a makeover if he ever wants to be taken seriously.
Here’s the Silhouette software in action. Well, in stop action. I imported Marvin as is, but I also spent .99 to get some speech bubbles. (I was a spending fool. We’re at $1.98 thus far.) I typed in what DH (Dear Husband) wanted Marvin to be saying. Basically, that’s stuff Marvin always says. Yes, this is for DH. We’re nerding up decorating his laptop.
Here the Silhouette SD is cutting out what I’ve printed.
First, I printed Marvin out on my new but increasingly irritating printer that is giving me fits and making me consider using crayons using Square1 Printable AND RESTICKABLE material. Then I put it in my Silhouette SD, had it read the registration marks (little lines at the top and bottom) and cut out Marv and the speech bubble.
This Post-It saved the day! I used it to cover one of the registration lines because I made a mistake because my printer is evil and ended up running my printable material through my printer twice. When it was finished, the registration marks were all messed up! I was so mad! 🙁 Well, it happens. So, I figured I’d try covering the messiest mark the machine had to read with a Post-It note. It WORKED! It read the lines just fine. Whew. (It uses a laser to find the marks and know where to cut, so they are pretty important.)
See how messed up it was? I was so happy and surprised when the Post-It note saved the day. Try it if this happens to you!
Peel and Stick – This is the peel part.
Now that Marvin is printed and all cut out you just peel the back of the Square1 printable material off and stick Marvin, or whatever you’ve created to whatever you want to stick it to. Cool thing? You can then peel it off and stick it somewhere else!!
Time for a GIVE AWAY!!!!
Want to nerd something up decorate something? You can use this printable material with your Silhouette, Cricut Imagine or just your printer alone. Want to try it out? Square1 is offering 3 sheet sample packs of this awesome printable material for FIVE WINNERS!! Just leave me a comment telling me what you would use this printable material for and I’ll choose FIVE winners on August 29!!
Also, don’t forget to sign up for my weekly newsletter! Sign up is on the Left side of this page. 😉
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS!!

Loved your post, took me back…. We use to call my dad Marvin the Marion. LOL!!! Never used this material before, looks like a lot of fun. I would so use it to make my daughter a sling across tote bag she has been wanting. I would be able to print out some puppies or dog and her ATM logo for her Aggie… She wants to be a Vet when she grows up and already know where she wants to go study… Thank you for the chance to win.

I LOVE Martin the Martian! What a cute idea to add some pizazz to a computer! This stuff looks pretty neat! I would love to try some in my new scrap storage room! YES! I said scrap storage room!

I would make a lion to go on my son’s wall. He has a jungle decal set on his bedroom walls and one morning I came in and he showed me the cute little lion decal crunched into a ball. “Look Mama I smushed the lion!” This time I would stick it up higher on the wall! Lol

I use to have a Marvin the martian stuffed toy! Cute project! If I had this I would probably make cut outs to decorate my daughter’s container that she puts all her bathroom supplies in! When I say container I mean an empty large yogurt container re-purposed! LOL! It works great but still needs to be prettied up!
Thanks for a chance to win Joy!

This looks like so much fun! My kids and I were making altered composition books last night. I can just imagine the fun we would have with this… books, laptops, backpacks. Hmm. Where to begin? Probably a saying for my craft room to inspire me!
That is so awesome! The things people come up with these days! I have nieces coming in soon, so I’m sure we would find plenty of things to decorate with school coming up 🙂
I think I would try to decorate my mirror for Christmas….I have been trying to decide on a Disney figure to put on my laptop. been thinking about Bambi or Thumper!! Looks like fun stuff
I love Marvin the Martian. Haven’t seen him in years. What a great idea. I have the exact same computer and have been wanting to jazz it up for awhile now.
Thanks for all our great ideas! I’ve used several of them already.
Love your post and that Square 1 stuff is amazing. I love using my silhouette and was so happy to see Looney Tunes added to the store. If I won your giveaway I would make lots of fabric stickers for my daughter’s school supplies she loves princess themes and I love to alter notebooks for her to take to school.
Very cool idea! I need to decorate my laptop now! Thanks for a chance to win.
I know what you mean about printers acting up. And there is nothing you can do to correct them. I can’t print 4 X 6 photo paper anymore. I have to use the 8 1/2 X 11 and put multiple pics and cut them apart. what a waist of my time. And my other printer prints too dark and I have trouble changing the settings. Thanks for the chance to try this product.
I would use this for making wall hangings for my home and my family and friends’ homes. It looks like it would be fun to try. Thanks for the chance to win it.

Too cute & funny 😉 Thanks for giveaway chance! I would use it for my 8 year old daughter. Her name is Kwynn, and she loves personalized things. Even though she likes her name, its uniqueness bums her out for the fact that she can’t find personalized stuff. Thanks again!
Oooooh! I want to nerd up some stuff! I would use it on my laptop too!
Never seen this product before. Will have to research it and try making something with it. Thanks for a chance to win
This looks like a great product!!! Thanks for your tips & for a chance at winning!!! BTW…Marvin looks soo cute on your laptop!!! Ever since I got my Imagine (2 mos ago) I’ve been wanting to make somethng for my laptop. Guess I just need to do it! lol
What a cute project you did with Marvin the Martian! I would really love to win this Square 1 restickable vinyl to print pictures of my grandkids. They could be stuck anywhere and moved if I wanted to because this vinyl is restickable. Thanks for the chance at this giveaway, Joy!

I love that Marvin Martian. I’d love to win the sampler and let my imagination loose on it! Thanks Joy!
I had to laugh at this one…. I haven’t heard that saying in a loooong time!! My DH used to say that a lot about 20 years ago! LOL! 🙂 I would love to use this to decorate my DD’s notebooks for school. Thanks for the fun giveaway!

Cowbelleru,
That cracked me up! I had to read your quote out loud to DH. I can relate to that! 😉
~Joy~
I don’t have an imagine (or any imagination) lol. However, I would use the printable paper for something. Just not sure what yet. Thanks for the opportunity to win. Your project is awesome. Haven’t thought about Marvin in a loooong time. I think he’s cute too.
My son’s birthday is coming up soon. He is a HUGE truck-a-holic and I know he would love some trucks that he could move around his bedroom walls (although I would probably make a couple that would stay up out of reach and a couple that he could move around wherever he wanted to 😉
I would use these sheets to print pictures of my grandchildren and then make a hand quilt for my mother or the great grandmother

I would do disney images on them cut them out and put them on my Cricut covering that covers my Cricut or on my back of my jacket.

Oh what a great idea, your hubby’s laptop looks brilliant even though I have no idea who this character is. I would have to use this product to make something for my godchildren whose names are so unusual there is nothing even closely available.

This looks like a very interesting product. I like the idea that it is a fabric, ……….. if I am lucky enough to win a sample of this Square 1, I would use for an altered journal for my soon to-be granddaughter. (My son is getting married in a few days & I will become an instant grandmother to a 15 year old.)
