Simple Matchbook Mini Album

 Earlier today I stumbled upon My Craft Channel where I found a video by Teresa Collins who was making what she called "Simple Matchbook Mini Album" with one piece of paper.

I was intrigued enough to try and make my own. I didn't have any of Teresa Collin's paper on hand so I used this ONE sheet of double sided paper from Authentique which worked perfectly - then I found this quote left over from another project.

I haven't decorated the inside or added any pictures. I am not sure what I will do with it "yet" but I am pretty sure it will find a new home fairly soon.

Look Who's Turning 1 Cake

I am so excited to showcase the items I made for my friend Cynthia's daughter Sienna. I wanted to share this sooner but was waiting for pictures from the professional photographer that was at the party.

The cake is all fondant and the owl was cut using my cricut cake and an svg file from SVG Attic called Give a Hoot.

I also made 100 cupcake boxes and a smash cake for Sienna. I love how everything really came together and the bright colors.

Who doesn't love shoes?

Who doesn't love shoes? I made these shoes for my "Cricut Tips with Tee" at Hearts-n-Crafts. I used the Princess Party Cricut cartridge cut at 5 1/2. I also cut 3 flowers at (real dial size) at 1 1/2, sprayed with Tattered Angels and topped with Stickles. 

In the area? Come join me on Wednesday, February 22nd to learn how I put this together. Cost is $5.00

SVGAttic Design Team Tuesday - Be Mine Valentines card

Valentines Day is one of my favorite holidays to craft. I love pink, red and animal prints and what better excuse than to make up valentine cards for my family. This project is made using Valentine Elements  from SVTAttic, stamps from my stash, some pearls and of course some stickles. I also just had to make some roses using the Be Mine kit because I am obsessed with these flowers. 

Thanks for stopping by. ~~Tee

Rock Princess & Action Wobbles

I have seen several posts online using Action Wobbles and got really excited when I ran across their booth at CHA and they gave me a handful to play with. I made this card using Rock Princess cartridge and used an Action Wobble behind the skull head. Super cute! Now, who should I give this card to?

Do Not Disturb - SVG Attic DT project (free download)

Good Morning Tuesday! I am super excited to post my first design team project for SVGAttic. Today, I used the rose from the Be Mine collection. The rose is also available in the Yours Truly collection.  I have to say, I love this rose - it is one of the realistic rose I have seen made out of paper so far. 

 

 Freebie - Download the "do not disturb" caption as my gift to you.

Thank you for stopping by - Tee

Dora the Explorer & Deigo Cake

I have been looking forward to making this cake for my good friend Tram for her son's 3rd birthday. She sent me a picture of what she had in mind and this is my version of it.

After several unsuccessful attempts at making Dora and Deigo out of chocolate transfers I decided to cut cut them out with my cricut using MTC. 

The bottom layer is chocolate with ganache and top layer is butter yellow with lemon filling.

SVGAttic - Be Mine

SVGAttic released their newest file this week called Be Mine. I fell in love with the card and knew I had the perfect Basic Grey paper to go with it. I did modify the file slightly by making an shadow on panel 1 so I would have a black layer and a leopard layer. I also added a black shadow to the LOVE word and cut out the V in the red version of LOVE.

I love how this turned out just wish I could of gotten a better picture of it.

Pink, Black & White Birthday Cake

I got a text from an old co-worker asking if I would make the cake for her birthday - her only request was something PINK - EASY since Pink is also my favorite color. I had so much fun making this cake. I hope she loves it!! I made MMF for this cake. The white wasn't white enough so I added white gel coloring.

I also decided to use this as an opportunity to play with some recipes. I made a vanilla milk chocolate cake with coffee instead of water, filling was a vanilla bean butter cream and I added crystal sugar to the filling for crunch - not sure how that will play out. Can't wait to get some feed back.

100 Cupcake Boxes - Prototype

My girlfriend asked me to make her 100 cupcake boxes for her daughter's first birthday. I found to be more of a challenge than I expected, one was the short amount of time I had to make them and finding enough paper and ribbon in stock to get them made in time.

This is my prototype - I plan on adding some rhinestones to bling this out!

I am also making the cake for the party. Will post more pictures later! :)

Valentine's Heart Shaped Candy Box

Earlier this month I made a candy box using the cricut cartridge George Basic Shapes. I decided to make another one using Valentines papers - I love how this turned out.

Here is the video again in case you missed it!

Happy First Birthday Vincent - Mickey Mouse Club

Here is my latest cake made for my great nephew's 1st birthday. I didn't have much time to spend on this cake with the passing of Grandma Vicky this week. It is fairly simple. I used my Cricut Cake to cut out the Mickey head and the stars.

3-D Heart Box

**Update on 1/9/12 to include a video**

I have seen so many beautiful 3-D SVG projects online lately, bought many of them but found I needed to get back to my roots of using my collection of cricut cartridges more often. This heart is my "prototype" for a class I want to do for February. Maybe, I will make a video on how to make it as well 

Cricut Cuts: Heart from page 119 Basic George
Cut two at 7 1/2, one at 6 1/2 and 1 at 6 1/4
You also need two strips at 12 x 2 1/2 and 12 x 1 1/2

Leave me some love!!

Happy Birthday Roxy - Hello Kitty Cake

My beautiful sister-in-law, Roxann, gave me the honor of making the cake for her birthday. Her request was Hello Kitty with animal print or damask and of course red velvet. I used my Cricut Cake and Wilton's Sugar Sheets to cut out Hello Kitty - I loved how it turned out, however, was a little sad to cut it. So, I made a custom cake box that she could keep after the cake was gone.
