Angry Birds and a Pig Too.

For my series of candy favors I wanted to make a couple of the angry birds and the pig. I love how they turned out. I just looked online for SVGs and modified them slightly to suit my needs.

Aren't they cute?!?

I also made up a few pencil favors with pencils I purchased at Target.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! Well how time flies over the holiday season...

I had so many posts I wanted to make but never found the time to sit down and get it done. I know that the holidays are over but I just wanted to show off the rest of the favors that I made for my series.

Warning : this post is picture heavy.

I used the Jaded Blossom 1x8" bags and filled each with various different candies... yummm.

 I used the Jaded Blossom Love Mustaches stamp set for the sentiment and the mustache is from a Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons cut file called Old Chap.

 For this ornament tag I used two different files from the Silhouette Online store.  I love glitter so I couldn't resist using Sookwang tape and Micro Fine Glitter for the heart filigree.
.

I used the print and cut feature for the sentiment on the reverse.

For the stocking I used a Miss Kate Cuttables SVG.

The penguin is made from a picture from the internet that I found and pretty much copied and made into an SVG, cut out using the Cameo and the DE software. The iceberg was done the same way.

There is a version of a Penguin Poop poem on the back.

I just love this elf! He is a print and cut from PPPR Santa's Helpers. I added some gold rhinestones  and a mini jingle bell to the hat. The sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom Merry and Bright stamp set.

This is one of my favorites. It is from the Miss Kate's Cuttables store. I used a Martha Stewart punch for the branches and a mini red jingle bell from the dollar store.

The sentiment on the back is just a print and cut.

Well I have a few more favors to show but I'm going to show them in the next post. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year :)

Gotta Have Some Java

If you're like me, you love coffee.... I'm sipping on a cup of coffee while I write this post :)

Right now I'm in Christmas candy favor mode and since I love coffee and chocolate I thought I would make a coffee Christmas favor for my mini-series. So I decided to fill some Jaded Blossom 1x8 bags with chocolate covered coffee beans. Yummmmm :)

I used the Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons Java Great Day cutting file and cut out this super cute coffee pot.

I added some googly eyes to make his eyes bulge out from all the caffeine... lol. The sentiment comes from Art Impressions which I embossed in black and tied on with some twine.

Snow Balls

Anyone who knows me knows I love the snow. I love the snow covered trees, the smell of the fresh snow and the of course who doesn't love a good snow ball fight?

For my this favor (now the third in my series) I started with the Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons Snow Much Fun cutting file. Using my Cameo I welded the shadows of the boy and the title together to make the base of my tag.

But since it was so small I ended up having to change the font and delete the snowflakes and the word "much". I also added a plastic confetti snowflake with a glue dot.

I added a Peachy Keen face from the In the Garden stamp set... Love these faces! Next I filled my Jaded Blossom 1x8 bag with white gumballs. Then finally I tied the tag on with some twine.

Here is the new version of this guy. I used the print and cut feature to redo the sentiment,

Rudolph's Spares

Here is the second holiday candy favor in my mini-series that I'm sharing with you : Rudolph's Spares.

I've had so much fun crafting these candy tubes and learning more and more about my Cameo and its features.

I cut the tag out of green cardstock and the top layer is from one of my Christmas Paper stacks. The sentiment is a print and cut.

Rudolph is cut out with my EK Success Deer punch. I cut out his antlers with some kraft cardstock and attached them with a glue pen. Then I added a googly eye and a shiny red nose.

I filled some Jaded Blossom 1x8 bags with shiny red gumballs and tied on the tag with some twine.

Heeeheee I just love the holidays, crafting and of course I love candy :)

Grinch Poop

Hi everyone! Well the last two weeks have been super busy and I have been crafting up a storm between working and sleeping.. lol. In a previous post I told you that I bought a bunch of the Jaded Blossom 1x8 bags for candy and I thought I would do a mini-series of candy tube favors.

So I will start with my favorite so far... the Grinch! I grew up watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas and still watch it every year! So if course I had to use the Grinch for one of the favors.

This is the print and cut version... not the best picture - it's from my camera

I used my Silhouette and welded two shapes together to make the base of the tag. Then used the print and cut feature with the Grinched font for the sentiment. For the Grinch I did him 2 different ways one version a print and cut and the other paper pieced together.

I filled the tubes with Grinch poop (aka green gumballs) and just love how they turned out.

I will post pictures of each of the fun yummy filled favors as the week goes on.

Happy crafting!

Here is the Grinch that I put together instead of the print and cut.

Thankful For You!

 About a month ago I ordered some 1"x8" clear treat bags from Jaded Blossom.

I love them so much I just ordered more :) I also bought a ton of candy, I may have gotten a wee bit out of control when it came to candy :) There is candy everywhere in my craft area... heeehee.

So I made these super cute treats for the upcoming holiday using the Jaded Blossom 1"x8" bags filled with Reese's Pieces in fall colors.

The Chipmunks, sentiment and the small acorns on my tag are from the Peachy Keen October 2012 stamp of the month and colored with my Copics.

I made the tag with the acorn from the Cricut Create A Critter cartridge and ran the top piece through the Cuttlebug with the Mesh folder.

The sentiment is stamped in Tim Holtz Ripe Persimmon and cut out using the Spellbinders Nautical Frames and Accents. I finished the tag by using my Crop-A-Dile to punch a small hole in the tag and ran some orange twine to tie it together.

I will be entering this into the Peachy Keen Challenge # 13-41 Anything Goes.

Little Monster Bash

I helped a girlfriend out with some baby shower decorations, for one of her friends that has a baby on the way. They know that it is a boy, so they decided to have a Monster Bash. I picked some of the characters from their baby shower invitation plus a few extras and started making a banner.

I used my Silhouette and the print and cut feature to make the monsters.

 The monsters are sized either 10 1/2" tall or wide, then I gave each of the monsters a shadow. 

  

Using a Silhouette file I made the banner pieces in blue and green. I used a light blue cardstock for the dark blue banner pieces along with the Spots and Dots embossing folder to give each piece some dimension.

For the green banner pieces I used a pattern from the Kaiser Craft Blast Off paper pack.

I used star brads to attach each of the pieces together and then star eyelets on the ends to hang from.

Using the same monsters I decided to make a few favors. I filled some Jaded Blossom 1x8 bags with green blue and teal skittles. I re-sized the banner pieces and used them to make tags for the favors. Then added some washi tape and some Monster googly eyes.

Placed them all in a vase with some blue tissue paper and green Rickrack.

Wishing the happy couple all the joy in the world with the upcoming arrival of their little monster.
