We have a birthday party to attend this weekend and I took the gift on as an opportunity to create something special from a selection of dollar store finds. I bought a few toy princess play sets and a t-shirt all in shades of purple. I used glitter, ric rac and flowers that I had on hand to customize each piece and make a special gift for the birthday girl! In the images you can see before and after shots.
I used the Craft Room Exclusive Cart called Word Bubble to make Coasters. I cut out the bubble shape from some left over pieces of cork that I had previously screen-printed on with the YUDU. I am making a ton of these and packaging them as holiday gifts. Who doesn’t need coasters? Perfect for holiday parties!

Happy Halloween! I used my Cricut Cake machine and a stack of round tortilla shells to cut Halloween shapes. I then placed the cut shapes onto a baking pan, salted them and then baked them into chips. I love this idea and will do it with other shapes for other upcoming holidays. For Halloween shapes use the October 31st Cartridge.
Happy crafting and Happy Halloween xoxo

A few months ago I picked up a crappy, plastic, cupcake stand kit at Target on clearance knowing something would come of it. Out came the spray paint this past weekend and I knew just what needed a coat. I assembled the stand and spray painted it black. After it dried I glued orange velvet flower ribbon to the edges. Now it is time to get to baking so I can fill it up with some devilish desserts.

I used my Gypsy, my Cricut and several different cartridges to create a fun cheater Halloween costume idea. I cut shapes out of different colored card stock and attached them to wooden BBQ skewer sticks with glue. They will sit in the vase for party goers to pick up, hold up to their faces and play a character. This is a great thing to have around at your Halloween party for those cheaters who think they are going to get out of wearing a costume. Ha – we’ve got that covered!
Here are where each of the cuts came from.
Mustache: Bump in the Night Cartridge
Glasses: Forever Young Cartridge
Kissing Lips: Love Struck Cartridge
Bow Tie: Paper Doll Dress-up Cartridge
Jack-O-Lantern Mouth: October 31st Cartridge
Vampire Teeth: Pumpkin Carving Cartridge
