Happy Birthday!

Birthday cards are fun to make especially when they are for someone super special.  For my mom and sister, one loves chickens the other Kermit The Frog.  Kermit is from an svg file I found on the internet (happy birthday stamp is from Stampin Up).  The chickens paper is from Graphic 45.
The birthday box card is from www.svgcuts.com

Halloween once again!

Halloween came and went once again.  This year's treat - spider cups.  I love candy holder treat svgs.  http://svgcuttingfiles.com/ once again saved me from a creative block. :)  Cute and easy!

Thinking Of You

4th Of July

Pinterest Stampin Up Sheltering Tree Card

I was scrolling through Pinterest and typed in Stampin Up Sheltering Tree video and found a wonderful tutorial with this set using a brayer.

Valentine's Day from the past

Vintage Valentine's Day Card.

SVG Cuts Box Card Castle

Another great file from SVG CUTS.  I used Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Pen for the shimmer glitter effect.

Stamping on patterned paper.

I found a fun technique where you stamp directly on to your patterned paper. I can't remember where I saw it, might of been youtube. I have to say this was a lot of fun!

Chocolate bunny for Easter!

I love to share little treats around the holidays with friends. As a kid I remember enjoying chocolate bunnies so I wanted to create one that wouldn't melt. :)  I visited www.svgcuts.com and bought their set Egg Hunt.  I used my cutting machine and had a few done in no time.  I also found a really cool tutorial on pinterest for perler beads. Perler beads are what my kids use to make pictures then iron them together. Well someone came up with the idea of melting them and using them for fun grown-up projects too! That is how I made the candy looking eye for my bunny. He's not edible but he sure looks good enough to eat. :)

This past Halloween

Halloween can make me feel batty! (lol)  Cute little bat purses shrunk down to fit little treats inside.  Svg file.  Also, my daughter had a Halloween party the invites were made from www.svgcuts.com apathy jars.  Inside was candy and an invite to the party.  I think I created a monster now every time my kids make invites they are 3D or made with our Cricut. I'm a proud momma! :)

Christmas Goodies

Forgot to post these during Christmas.  I made little Elf & Santa fry boxes for friends this year.  I have to say this is one of easiest projects I have ever done.  They were so quick and easy I was able to do quite a few in a short amount of time.  If your in a rush these would make perfect goodie boxes for birthdays or any fun occasion.  From www.svgcuttingfiles.com fun files at great prices! One of my favorite sites for svgs.

Valentine's Day = Love!

Valentine's Day isn't just for one special person, it's a day to celebrate everyone you love and care for. I have some awesome school co-workers who always put others first.  These little gifts I made for them was may way to show how sweet they are!  Pre-made milk cartons were on clearance from Michael's and the little mailboxes with working flags, came from www.svgcuts.com .  I shrunk them down to fit mini Ring Pops for my co-workers daughter and sons.  The little girl stamp is from Stampin Up and I used water color crayons. The hearts in her hand were stamped on various Valentine pattern paper then cut out & glued on top of the original hearts.
