Hi everyone! Here is the birthday card I created that coordinates with the birthday party invites from last week. As you will see it does look very similar but with a few changes. I did use the Silhouette Cameo and the print and cut feature for this card. You can refer back to this post for even more info on how to create these images.

Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share the birthday party invitations I’m making to send out for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. I wanted a simple invite with no added dimension so I turned to the Silhouette software to help me out. I used several images that were part of the free downloads when you purchased the Cameo along with using the pattern fill and color fill options. I’m pleased with how it turned out, if you want to see more on this card then click the video below:
Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you a birthday card I made for my Aunt who is turning 75 this weekend. I was going to make her a card that would match the gift bag I purchased but scraped that whole idea when going through my paper. I LOVE this paper collection. I have used it many times before, when seeing the sewing machine I knew that I had to make her card using it. So there was no die cutting used in this card tutorial… pretty cool huh? So if you want to see how I made this card:

Hi everyone! I am back to share with you a birthday card I made for my niece. If you have followed my blog for a while or have looked through the archives you may remember the high heel birthday card, that card was for this niece as well. I used a print and cut image from the Silhouette Online Store and used the Silhouette Cameo to cut the image out. So if you want to see how I put this card together then watch the video below:

Hi everyone, I’m back again with another little project for Christmas. You hear about sprinkling reindeer food out on your lawn on Christmas Eve for Santa’s Reindeer, right? Well, I have a little spin on this. It’s basically the same thing just dubbed, “stable animal food”. In our family we don’t “believe” in Santa, all though my son would love to believe he is real, and who wouldn’t? We choose to focus on the true reason of celebrating Christmas, Jesus’s birth. We take elements of the story of Jesus’s birth and create ways to help our children understand the Christmas story.
So as most of you have heard the story, there was no room in the inn so Mary and Joseph was allowed to stay in the stable where Jesus was born, the Star was bright over Bethlehem, the angel appeared and news rang out that Our Savior had been born. Three Wise Men came to see the Baby and brought him gifts and marveled at the Savior born in a manger.
Like I said we take elements of the story and use them to share the Christmas story with our little ones. So, instead of cookies for Santa we set out snacks for Mary, Joseph, The Wise Men and all who had come to worship the birth and we set out milk for Jesus. It wouldn’t be fair to leave out the stable animals, camels and donkeys that lived in the stable and those that traveled near and far. Before bed on Christmas Eve we will take our packets and sprinkle the “food” on our lawn and leave our porch light on (The Star of Bethlehem) as well as setting out the goodies and milk.
… and back to the project…. stable animal food. Yeah I know, that was pretty long. You can of course make the same thing and call it reindeer food.
Supplies:
1. Take your lunch bag and fold down the bottom of the bag. You will trim this part of the bag off.
2. Trim off the bottom along the fold line shown above. This cuts the very bottom of the bag off.
3. Flip the bag around to the top and trim off the just under the half circle. Your bag should measure around 8.5 inches long at this point.
4. Cut the bag in half, on the 8.5 inch side. You should have 2 pieces at 4.25 inches long and 5 inches wide.
5. Now, take 1 of the halves and pull the bag open from opposite corners and flatten it out. This should make the bag 8 inches by 4.25 inches.
6. Cut the bag in half on the 8 inch side at 4 inches.
7.Do this on both halves of the bag.
8. You have you should have 4 sections measuring 4.25×8. **confused yet?**
9. Take each section and fold them in half and make a crisp crease. You should have a folded crease on the bottom and three open sides.
10. If you are stamping anything on your packet now is the time to do so. I’ve loaded up my Fiskers Stamp Press with a few stamps I purchased at Michael’s last year after Christmas. Line up your images to stamp above the folded crease you made.
11. I used Color Box Chalk Ink in Chestnut Roan
12. Stamp all 4. Once the ink is dry flip the paper over and get ready to start assembling.
13. Apply a strip of double – sided adhesive to the very top of the paper. I used score tape. Do not remove the paper backing yet.
14. Apply adhesive to the left and right side of bag all the way to the fold and just past just to make sure you have not gaps.
15. Carefully fold up and press together your sides being careful to line your edges up. Do one side at a time. You should have the fold at the bottom and the left and right sides adhered together. Press well and make sure you do not have gaps.
16. Measure out just shy of 1/3 cup of dry oats. Fill the remainder up with candy sprinkles.
17. Pour the mixture into your pouch.
18. Pull off the double-sided adhesive backing now and press the top closed, carefully lining the edges up. Make sure you have sealed all edges and shake the packet a bit to flatten it out.
20. Do these steps to all 4 pouches and wait till Christmas Eve.

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a couple of things that I have created with the help of the Silhouette Cameo and Silhouette Studio. My son started pre-kindergarten this week. I am home schooling him using Horizons Preschool curriculum. He will be five in October so he will start Kindergarten next fall, again, we will homeschool.
Anyway, I made him a cute little shirt with flocked heat transfer Silhouette vinyl. I used the same image for the shirt to make his name plate for his desk.
I also used Silhouette Studio to create this:
I printed this out and used paint to make his hand prints on the back. I also took a few pictures of his first day as well. I laminated all of this to keep. Silhouette Studio has come in handy, I have the designer edition, to create a number of items and for us to use. I’ll show more in a few weeks.
Thanks for checking in with me. See you in the next post.
Hi everyone! Here are a couple of close ups of the print and cuts I made from the Imagine Yummy Cartridge for my daughter’s 1st birthday party.
Cupcake cut from the Yummy Cartridge using the fit to page. Number 1 cut from the Plantin School Book Cartridge at an 8.8. I ran the 1 through the Cuttle Bug using the Swiss Dots Folder and wrapped a ribbon around it. I pop doted the 1 to the cupcake.
On her high chair I printed three banners from the Yummy Cartridge, changed the colors a little and cut more 1′s just like before. The banner I used the Crop-a-dile to punch holes and set eyelets to run embroidery floss through and tie together. The 1′s are pop dotted to the banner.
The tags on I placed on the gift bags I cut and printed as well from the Yummy Cart. I cut each of the 3 cupcakes in the handbook at 5 inches and made the same small “1′s” as before, I popped them up on the tag. I punched a hole and set an eyelet in each cupcake and ran floss through them to attach to the bags.
There you have it. Hope the pictures show the detail a little better. Subscribe if you haven’t already! See you in the next post.

Hi everyone! Sorry to be missing this week. My daughter’s first birthday was this week so we celebrated then, and her party was today. Her theme was cupcakes. I found her the cutest little dresses to wear on her birthday and her party day. I made cupcakes, K’s smash cupcake and cake pops. I found cute little “1st birthday girl” themed party supplies that had a cupcake on them. I used my Cricut Imagine Yummy Cartridge to make a few items, too.
For birthdays, we keep things small and simple. Homemade Cake, well, cupcakes, ice cream, chips, dip and pickles with family. This is the way that both my husband and myself have celebrated our birthdays growing up. So for now, that’s what we will do for our little ones. Some how it ends up being a week-long celebration. Great times!
Here’s a peek into her celebration:
Party Day
High chair decor. On the wall: Cupcake cut from the Yummy Cartridge using the fit to page. Number 1 cut from the Plantin School Book Cartridge at an 8.8. I ran the 1 through the Cuttle Bug using the Swiss Dots Folder and wrapped a ribbon around it. I pop doted the 1 to the cupcake. The smaller ones are cut and Cuttle bugged at 4 inches. On her high chair I printed three banners from the Yummy Cartridge, changed the colors a little and cut more 1′s just like before. The banner I used the Crop-a-dile to punch holes and set eyelets to run embroidery floss through and tie together. The 1′s are pop dotted to the banner.
Gift Area: I printed and cut the Cupcake and Party from the Yummy Cartridge using the fit to page and print and cut another cupcake and 1 the same as over her high chair. I had an extra small 1 and threw it up between the words at the last minute. The tags o the pink bags I cut and printed as well from the Yummy Cart. I cut each of the 3 cupcakes in the handbook at 5 inches and made the same small “1′s” as before, I popped them up on the tag. I punched a hole and set an eyelet in each cupcake and ran floss through them to attach to the bags.
And this is my “baby girl” in her party dress…. love her! I didn’t realize until the party that her dress matched the party supplies, polka dots and all.
Thanks for checking in with me and helping to celebrate this princess’ first birthday. I will take closer pictures of the Cricut decor so you can see the detail. Be sure to subscribe to keep up to date with my projects and such. See you in the next post.
