Turtle Baby Shower Cake

Here is the turtle baby shower cake to go with the invitations. It is just two 9x13 pans trimmed to the diaper bag. The cake is dirty iced with double chocolate icing and then covered in fondant. The turtle is made from Oreo cake balls and gum paste. Fondant is way cool to work with and I use Marshmallow Fondant so its super tasty too. I have a Cricut cake for the details on the outside.

Baby Shower Invitations

I made these for a very good friend of mine who LOVES turtles and is having a little boy. The patterned paper is an old Stampin Up set that worked perfect for the colors I wanted and I accented with Old Olive and Bashful Blue for Mr. Turtle. I used my trusty Cricut, Gypsy, and th Life is a Beach cartridge for the turtle. Of course no cute turtle is complete without googly eyes :) The party will be decorated similar so come back for the decor!!!

Vinyl Banner Made with Cricut and Gypsy!!!

I made this banner from scratch using the Sports Mania Cricut Cartridge, My Gypsy, and my Expression. The only thing I used Sure-Cuts-A-Lot for is the Logo in the middle for my daughters team. I pieced it together one ball at a time and thank goodness for the 12x24 mat!!! I got the white banner from a sign company for $20 and also used primarily scraps from the sign companies to do everything. Check Craigslist or with your local sign people for their scraps! Their big machines leave a nice little leftover piece for our Cricut Machines!!!

And More Cake with the help of CRICUT!!!

Yup you guessed it I used my new favorite FONDANT again! I used the Cricut for my field template which was super easy. There are 3 cakes under there and it measures 15x15. I dirty iced it before I used the fondant to hold it on a bit better. There might be extra people at the party so I made cupcakes just in case! I took pictures of all the players at the last game and they are laminated and tooth-picked to the field. It really didn't take that long to do at all. Enjoy!

Vinyl Car Decals

I get remnant pieces of vinyl from a sign company that they can't use on their big machines to make fun decals for my car. Ill take a picture of my husbands car with all the fun stuff we have made! I use my Cricut and Sure-Cuts-A-Lot to create lots of fun stuff.

Girl Scout Peace

We always make t-shirts for every event we do with my girl scout troop. I used Sure-Cuts-A-Lot and my Cricut Expression to make the peace sign and the troop sign. I used clear shelf paper to cut out of because its a lot cheaper than vinyl. I used the spray cannon to spray the shirts with pink and neon green. When I removed the stencil the peace sign didnt pop enough. I used fabric markers to outline the stencils. I did 10 shirts in about an hour.

Teacher Project EASY!

Another one of the teachers gifts for the 'Ha Ha Holidays' . I just cut presents out of Christmas Cardstock. The present is Cricut Joys of the Season. I attached 2 'aa' batteries to the back with tape. The project was for 100 faculty memebers. We did projects for 13 days for less than $150. Of course Michaels coupons and sales were involved :) Happy Crafting!!

Silhouette Thank You Card

I whipped these up quick for my daughters softball team parents (my husband is the head coach) to thank them for a great season. Simple card with patterened paper backing a Stampin Up Pretty in Pink paper that I ran through the Cuttlebug embossing folder (I ran 2 at a time to speed up the process). I distressed the embossed paper and adhered them all together. I used scrap paper in Pretty in Pink and Black and the punches Scallop Oval Extra Large and Large Oval from Stampin Up for the Thank You at the bottom. The silhouette is cut with the Cricut Cartridge A Child's Year. I had made bows for the girls over the season and used the leftover ribbon to cut little 1" piece and attach 4 different ribbons with a black brad.

Embossed Glass Ornament.

Glass Ornaments for the softball team. The pink jersey is embossed with pink embossing powder. I cut the shape and number on the Cricut. After placing the stencil on I used the Versa Mark to cover the inside of the stencil. I outlined the jersey and the number with an acrylic marker. I stamped the baseballs with Stampin up White Craft Ink. I sealed it with acrylic sealer.

Reindeer Kisses

We are doing "Ha Ha Holidays" for our Faculty at my daughter's school and one idea I had was Reindeer Kisses. You gotta love the Cricut and the fact it can cut out 100 reindeer in no time. Add some googly eyes and a hershy's kiss you viola! Reindeer Kisses XOXOXOXO
