My husband's 50th Birthday (Part 2)

Hello my friends. November is here and this year is almost over. I can't wait to start decorating my house. I'm a little behind with the Christmas cards but I hope to catch up later. Today it's the second part of my husband's 50th Birthday. As I told you before I wanted it to be special for him. I organized a surprise birthday party. It was difficult to make the preparations since I have to hide everything every time he got home from work, but I managed to keep it as a surprise for him.
First I made the party invitation cards. His surprise party was a 70s B-day theme. I couldn't find any paper for making the invitation so I designed the paper myself using My Memories Suite Program

I love this program. You can design any paper you want and any color your want. You only need a regular printer and you are ready to go. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollar on an expensive program to design your project. This is a simple program and so easy to use. If you are interested just click HERE and don't forget to use my code: STMMMS29935 and you will get $10 off the software (reduced price of only $29.95), plus you get a coupon for $10 for the My Memories online store. It is really fun! Go check it out.

I cut the Disco People using my Pazzles Inspiration Cutter Machine. This machine is amazing. I couldn't find any cut file related to Disco or 70s so I just downloaded this clip art from the Internet and cut it with my Pazzles. You can also make the shadow of any picture as well. I also used my Cricut Machine for the "You're Invited" sentiment. I purchase the Holographic Glitter Silver paper at Hobby Lobby. I like it because it's self-adhesive and also it's similar to a disco ball. Perfect for a 70s look.

Stay tune for part 3 (pictures of the party decoration coming soon)

If you have any question, let me know. Thanks

Halloween Wreath

Happy Tuesday everyone!!!  It's almost Halloween and today I want to share a wreath I made out of felt. I really had a lot of fun making this wreath, it's very easy to make. I used purple, orange and black felt. I cut the pieces by hand. You can do any shape you want, fold them twice and pin it to the wreath base, then open them and arrange them like flower. The bats are made with felt. I just cut a triangle shape with scalloped edges and then sewed them in the middle. I will probably make a tutorial later if you want. Also for some reason I couldn't get good picture of the beautiful purple on the wreath but here is the picture.

 I also made the "Happy Halloween" title using my Pazzles Inspiration Cutter machine . I totally love my Pazzles, you can make any title you want with any font and also make the outline or shadow for them. Isn't that amazing!!!!! I downloaded the font from dafont.com I can download any font I want and cut it with my Pazzles.

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed this project. If you have any question, let me know. Thanks

My Husband's 50th Birthday (Part 1)

Happy Fall everyone. It's finally fall and I love it. This month is very special because it's my husband's Birthday and this year he is turning the Big 50 so I wanted his birthday to be very special for him. The day of his birthday I wanted to surprise him and I decorated the table hanging some rosettes from the ceiling. I used Ribbon & Rossettes Cricut cartridge. I made them very big. I used Sentimental Cricut cartridge for the scalloped circles, Smiley Cards Cricut cartridge for Ha-p-B-Day, Life's a Party Cricut Cartridge for the 50 tag and cake and I also used Mickey font for the name Jerry. I welded the letters using my Gypsy.

I also made a Birthday Card using my Cricut Imagine. It was the fastest card ever. I made it in 15 min. I used Imagine More Card Cricut Imagine Cartridge.

This is my husband with his present. He liked the decoration.

My husband opening his present. He loves Fish tanks.

Very happy with his present.

And finally cutting the cake. I made his favorite pinapple upside down cake. Here is a the tip, if you don't have a candle with a number, just cut the number in cardstock, attach a toothpick in the back with hot glue and then use a regular candle. I cut the 50 number using Life's a party cricut cartridge  He had no clue that I was secretly planning a Surprise Party for him later that weekend (Part 2 coming soon). I hope you all enjoy it. If you have any question let me know.

Pinwheel Center Piece Gift

Happy Labor day everyone. I hope everybody is having a wonderful day. I can't wait for the summer to be over, It's so hot and I really want the weather to cool down a little bit. Today's project is a Pinwheel Center Piece gift I made for a friend's Birthday. I have seen these lollipop center piece before and I thought it was perfect for a Gift Card holder. But in this case I added some pinwheels to give it a more festive look.

First I printed the paper in my Cricut Imagine machine. Using the Cricut Imagine Hopscotch Cartridge I printed and cut a 8x8 square then a flipped the square over in the same spot and printed only the other side with a coordinated color. Now it's ready to cut. I decided to cut the pinwheel in my cricut expression but you can also cut it in the Cricut Imagine if you want.

If you don't have a cricut imagine, you can print any pattern paper in your regular printer. I used a wonderful software called My Memories Suite. This is a great program when you can design you own scrapbooking pages and it's easy to use. In this case I wanted a pattern paper to coordinate with my design and I didn't have any so this program has hundreds of different papers that you can use not only for digital scrapbooking but also for many projects like this one. Isn't that fabulous!!!! As you can see in the picture I printed an 8x8 square with a stripe pattern from the software. If you are interested just click HERE and don't forget to use my code: STMMMS29935  and you will get $10 off the software (reduced price of only $29.95), plus you get a coupon for $10 for the MyMemories online store. You can also make scrapbooks you can print at home or turn them into professionally printed books! It is really fun! Go check it out.

For the cut I used Teresa Collin Baby Boutique Cricut Imagine Cartridge. I love Teresa Collins designs, she is one of my favorite designers. I cut the pinwheel seven inches and put it together. Then I attached a wooden stick with hot glue and then cut a circle with a punch using the remaining paper and glued it down to hide the brad. In this case the pinwheels are for decoration and they won't spin.

Finally attached the gift card with hot glue. This is a Target Gift card which I thought it was perfect for my project because it's very colorful. I hope you have enjoyed this project and if you have any question, let me know.

Diaper cake

Hello everyone. It's the end of the month already and Summer vacation is going fast. I can't wait for Fall season and cool down a little bit. Today I have a Baby Shower Diaper cake I made for a very good friend two years ago. She has a beautiful daughter and I was very happy to help her with the Baby Shower Preparations. As you can see, this diaper is very simple. I just add three tiaras of rolled diapers, and gathered them together with a pink and yellow ribbon. The flowers and butterflies cuts are from New Arrival Cricut Cartridges. Hope you all have a great weekend.

3D Halloween Cones Decor

Hello everyone. It has been a raining day today and difficult to take pics but I want to share a Halloween project I made for the 3D Cones Challenge over the Cricut Craftroom Blog  Provo Craft is giving this 3D Cones digital cut file free for a week and I thought it was perfect for a holiday decor. For this project I used the following Cricut Carts: 3D cone digital cut file, TC Chic & Scary, Paper Trimming, October 31st., Wild Cart, Holiday Cakes and of course Happy Hauntings (one of my favorite carts).

This time I took a second pic with less spider web.



This is the box. I cut some spider webs to decorate the holes. I applied black glitter to them.

 I tried to do all the cones different. This is the first cone. I used recollection Specialty Trim to decorate the sides, I attached it with a purple brad. I wrapped some black tule around it.

This is cone # 2 . I wanted to keep it simple so I just decorated the edges with more trim.

 The last cone I just put some stickles on the edges and wrapped another trim up.

I hope you all enjoy this project. If you have any question, let me know.

Happy 4th of July

Happy Independence Day!!! Today is America's Birthday and I am so thankful for living in this wonderful country. Are you planning any barbecue today? I am going to see the fireworks, I feel like a little girl everytime my DH takes me to see the fireworks, I love them. I want to share a project a saw on Pinterest and I decided to make one for my porch. This wreath was orginal made by Capital B and she kindly made a tutorial for us. I followed her instructions and I think mine came out pretty good. Of course hers is more beautiful. Next time I'm going to make it different, I would recommend to cut the squares bigger or use a smaller wreath. I use Stand and Salute Cricut cartridge to cut the stars. Hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July.
