For today's project I helped my Besty, Mindy, make these mugs to give as gifts around her office. She bought the mugs from The Dollar Tree and we added everyone's initail to the mug using vinyl. We then wrapped the mugs in cellophane and added a cute tag to finish off our project.  Above is the finished project.  Keep scrolling down for more details. :)

Mindy included in the mug Hot Chocolate, Starbucks Via Instant Coffee pack, and a Candy Cane.

The letters were cut from Art Philosophy using the Decorative Font Feature button.

I can't remember the size they were cut at, but I believe it may have been 2.5. 

We used vinyl to cut the letters.

For the tag we used Winter Frolic.

Using the Tag Feature we chose button 17 on the overlay and cut it at 4" and 3.65" to layer the tag.

The sentiment can be found on the same cartridge using the Phrase Feature Button 32. 

This was cut at 2.41" along with it's layer which you get by pressing Shift.  To give the tag a finished touch I doodled some stitching with my White Gel Pen.

I love how these turned out and it is a perfect inexpensive yet personalized gift. 

 Mindy and I had so much fun creating these together. :)

I hope everyone is almost ready for Christmas...Can you believe it is only 7 days away?!

I got one of my presents early from my hubby.  He made me a light box so I can take better pictures of my projects for my blog.  He's so wonderful and supportive of my crafting...I just love him to pieces! :)

Anywho, on to today's project.  I got this candle from Michael's for $.75...I think they are normally $1.00, but I got it on sale.  I decided to get these for the girls in my office and to use my Imagine to dress them up a bit.  The cartridges I used are Jolly Holiday's and Kate's Kitchen (Imagine Cartridge). 

I chose the circle from the stock images that come on the Imagine, cut at 2.8 and flood filled it with a pattern from Kate's Kitchen, which can be found on page 37 in the handbook. 

Our cute little Elf can is button 6 on the Jolly Holiday's overlay.  I cut him and all of his layers at 2.2.  His little elf uniform is flood filled with a pattern from page 41. 

You can't tell in the picture, but I added some Stickles to his hat and Glossy Accents to the Christmas lights and his buttons.

Lastly I took a piece of thin cardstock that matched the paper I printed in the circle and stamped my Sentiment that says Jolly Holly Day.  The stamps I used is from Pink By Design - Christmas Wishes.

I hope you enjoyed my project and I can't wait to pass these out to the ladies at work.

My Cricut Craft Room's 25 days of Christmas - Snow Theme

Today's theme is Snow.  I love the snow capped houses on the Jolly Holidays Cricut Cartridge and knew that it would be perfect for today. The cut I used from Jolly Holidays can be found on button 43 on the overlay, cut at 4.  Using my Imagine I flood filled the house with patterns from Kate's Kitchen.  The background cut can be found in the stock images that come with the Imagine and is also cut at 4 and flood filled with a pattern from Kate's Kitchen.  I am loving the patterns on this cartridge for my Holiday creations.  

For the snow covered areas I used flocking to give some added texture.  I love to flock anything snow related.  I just used my Zig 2 way glue pen and poured the flock on top.  I think next time I will try my Xyron since it gives an even layer of adhesive...I didn't have any refills on hand to try it on this project.  To finish up my card I added some ribbon and added my sentiment which is from Pink By Design - Christmas Wishes.

I hope you enjoyed my creation today and don't forget to see all of the other wonderful Cricut projects created with snow in mind at http://mycricutcraftroom.blogspot.com.
