St. Patrick's Day Treats

Hi My Crafty Friends!! :)
I just love Bugaboo stamps!!!  I got this digi last year...such a cutie!  And I made little goodie bags to give to my kiddos and their friends.  I love the way they turned out.  Some of them I made into a topper and put candies inside - rolos and butterscotch candies - it was hard to find gold colored goodies.  And then I also put a couple on cupcake boxes.  :)  My cuppie blog will be posted on Friday...stay tuned.  :)
Enjoy your day!

Vinyl treat holder

YAY!  I love working with Vinyl...it's so much fun to personalize stuff and to make things  even cuter than they were to start!  SA's pup is one of the sweetest doggies I know and I wanted to make her a little something.  SA and I were shopping at HL one day and I found these really cute trash cans.  They were on clearance for a little over 3 dollars...I bought two because they were so cute.  I still need to find something to do with the second one, but this one I made a treat holder for Daisy.  I think it turned out really cute and the Mikey cartridge was PERFECT for it!!! 

YAY!  It's nice when things come together!

Batter Up!

I think this is just adorable.  I found it on an site via SCAL and knew I had to give it a try.  My daughter has a friend who plays baseball and thier tournament was just a couple of weeks ago.  She filled this with some goodies and went to go cheer him  on.!  :)  Cute! 

The top is a baseball bat cutout and I embossed it to look more like wood.

Also made a water bottle wrap.  FUN! 
What have you been up to?

Thanks a latte

Hi Y'all!  These were so much fun to make!!!  :) 

I needed gifts for some of my kid's teachers.  (Yes, I am late postign this but better late than never!).  It is hard to think of somethign that would be good for both men and women.  I have a ton of pictures, but this was a lot of steps so Iguess it fits.  I used Emma's stamp set to stamp and diecut the little coffee cups and they are awesome to make - easy and fun!  I also  bought Starbucks gift cards and asked them for empty coffee cups.  I made coffee bean cookies by making pre-made sugar cookies and then frosting them with regular frosting that I mixed about 4T of Karo syrup to so that it would harden.  I then melted some choc chips and traced the cookie to make them look more like coffee beans rather than just a blob.  They didn't turn out as cute as I ahd pictured.  I wanted small, thick cookies but ended up with regular sized cookies - but that's okay.  They turned out just fine.  I added the cooked to a cello bag and tied with baker's twine.  Put the cookies and the gift card in the cup then cello'd the cup and more baker's twine tied the  bow and added the card.  That's it.  They loved them!  :)  YAY!

 I found the idea on my BBFF Christy's blog and knew they would be PERFECT - I was right!  :)

Enjoy!

Wedding week!! Gift idea

I'd seen this idea on Pinterest.  You take vinyl and cut it with your cricut then put it on a frame.  It turned out pretty cute, I think.  I put the vinyl right on the glass - I think next time I will put it on cardstock behind the frame.  I may do it over and give it to her again even though she has it hanging in her living room - it is kinda bubbling up.  I used a  lot of different cartridges - thank you, Gypsy!!! :)
I had a bit of a time sticking it down as I wanted to cut the large D in 1/2.  It worked out pretty well, even for an amateur.  :)

Happy Day,

Tammy

Graduation Week - Frame #2

YAY!!  Another frame project! :)  I know, I am hooked!  This time it is for a friend at work's son.  He is going to Ball State and he plays guitar.  His major will be music.  I don't know his son at all so it was a bit hard to decide what to do for him...but I really like how this turned out!  After finding the greyhound using my SCAL program I did the same with the Ball State Cardinal.  This time I only did two pics and left the middle open for him to put his own picture in. 

 Cut the guitar from Hanna Montana cartridge. 

Pretty cute!

Graduation week - gift bag/tag

This was so fun to make!  The bird was cut using my gypsy from 3 Birds on Parade adn I just made it the colors of Ball State University and decorated her up a bit.

:) 
Fun and easy...can't get better than that!

Graduation Week - Frame

YAY!   I love it when a project turns out!  After doing that baby shower frame I was hooked on frames and wanted to do more.  Mike's friend's daughter is going to the Universisity of Indianapolis on a track scholarshp so I put SCAL and my gypsy into action.  The more I use SCAL the more I love it!  I was able to find a pic online of the UofI mascot (a greyhound) and I was able to easlity able to separate the layers and viola... I got just what I wanted!  I put that in the middle and some track designs on Either side.  She does long jump and I thought the gal from All Sports looks like she is doing that when you don't include the hurde that she is intended to be jumping over.  Turned out really cute I think!  :)
Don't mean to toot my own horn, but Toot! Toot!  LOL! :)

Thanks for looking!
Enjoy and TTFN,

Graduation Week - Gift

 Hi All,
My BBFF (Best Blogging Friend Forever), Christy often will do a 'week of' something.  Shes's done tons of stuff and not only do I enjoy each day I also look forward to the next post!  So I'm gonna be a copy cat and do a week (may not be a daily post) of GRADUATION.  Now this may be a bit late for this year - I'm not sure, but hopefully you can find something fun to do next year.  I've posted some cards etc already, but I feel like this year I've done more for graduations than I ever have. 
This is a fun project.  Mike's best friend's daughter graduated from HS and I thought I wanted to make something unique for her.  While I was shopping at JoAnne's for a frames I found these letters for $1 off....making them $2.99 instead of $3.99.  This was super easy and cheap!  I just took vinyl in the colors of the college she is attending and cut circles out with my circle punches.  Then I cut some for the edges and went at it.  It looks cute by itself but I thought I should put something on it to hang it.  Thinking she may want to put it in her dorm room.   What better than zebra print! :)

I really like how it looks together.  I was able to use ribbon I already had on hand.  So this gift was a grand total of $2.99 plus tax.  Not too shabby!!
Hope she likes it...if not my daughter (Kaity) said she'll take it! :)

Enjoy today,

Tammy
