Vacay Tumblers

I created these for a co-worker to celebrate her trip to the Bahamas!  Mugs are from Amazon and fonts / graphics are all in Design Space.

Shadow Box

 I've done a few of these boxes now and really love seeing them come together.  

Created for a friend to give as a birthday gift.

The gold and navy paper came from JoAnn and I used my Cricut to cut the gold vinyl for the lettering and the paper flowers.

More Senior Night Gifts

 


I created 13 of these gifts for the Marching Band's Senior Night this past week.  The cup design is similar to what I made for the golf team senior night (in a previous post).  The other side of the cup has the student's name on it.

I also baked sugar cookies shaped like music notes.  I don't think the picture does them justice - they turned out really good!  My sugar cookie recipe is simple and you can find it in the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook.  I will do a separate post about the cookies!


Here are the supplies used:

Red white and blue beads

Blue Gift Bags

Cricut Smart Vinyl (Blue, Red and Black)

Cricut Transfer Tape

Acrylic keychains from Amazon

Plastic cups from JoAnn Fabrics

Music note cookie cutter from Amazon

Cricut Water Bottle

 


I found this bottle in the clearance section of my local Target store.  A friend requested a bottle with the Army Black Knights logo on it and this is what I came up with!

I used my Cricut Maker 3 and matte gold and white Smart Vinyl.

Senior night gifts

My daughter is on the girls golf team at her school and it was senior night at their match this week.  With only one senior girl on the team, we had to do something extra special for her!


I ordered a sash from Amazon and added Cricut Glitter Vinyl to it. I think it turned out great and she was thrilled (I think she was planning to wear it to school the next day).



I ordered the tumbler from Amazon and cut the Cut the blue, red and black permanent vinyl with my Cricut Maker.

Cricut Joy Bundle @ Costco!

 Costco has the Cricut Joy and lots of extras for $150!  If you are a beginner, this would be a great place to start!  I have the Maker 3, and still use my Joy for small projects, especially for cards - that card mat is awesome!


My local Michaels store had quite a few colors of the Joy Smart Vinyl on clearance for $3 this week - so make sure to look for that too!

Graduation Gift Ideas


I had so much fun making these gifts for a college graduation!

Learning to make earrings with the Cricut

Earrings are so much fun to make with the Cricut!  

It was a learning experience but with the help of a few Youtube videos, I was able to create several sets of earrings within a couple of hours. 

I need to get new findings for the first two sets because the ball hooks I ordered are a bit short for where the holes are in these earrings.  

Overall, I like the way these turned out.  I used templates that I found in Design Space, but think it would be pretty easy to create my own and I'm excited to try because the possibilities are endless!  It was helpful though, to have that template to learn how they were constructed before trying it myself.

I also experimented with the earring card.  It is also a Design Space template, but I moved the holes up to accommodate the size of the earring set.  I need to re-work this a bit more, and am thinking I will move the logo to the top of the card and change the font of the web address (this was drawn on with the Cricut pen).

Stitch Fix $100 Credit - 24 Hours Only!!

Have you tried Stitch Fix?  I love to get a box now and again.  Just recently, I was offered $49 for an entire year of fixes (and that gets applied toward an order) so I have no reason not to get one each month!

It's so much fun to get that box in the mail!  I have not shopped in a store in quite some time and this is an extremely convenient way for your clothes to come to you to try on!  

Your fix is tailored to what you want and need. You can make a Pinterest board for your stylist to get ideas from or you can just tell them what types of things you are looking for.  As an example, I'm trying to simplify my wardrobe and only want basic prints in neutral colors.  They have done a great job of styling me!

Here is an example of one of my most recent fixes:






I've been given a link to share that allows you to get $100 in credit toward your first fix!  Normally these codes are given at the $25 level so this is huge!  This code is only valid for 24 hours though - so shop soon!
