MY PROJECTS
HELLO KITTY HALLOWEEN CAKE TOPPER
S P O O K Y 🎃👻🧟♂️🧛♀️.
Ok, as spooky as Hello Kitty can be. 😆😂🤣.
It’s a haunted house with lights perfect for this year’s non-trick-or-treating Halloween 🎃.
DIY MARIO BROS CAKE TOPPER
One of my favorite cake toppers ever!!! A close friend came up with ir and let me remake it.
The coins spin when you blow out the candles!!
PRINCESS TIANA CAKE TOPPER
I’m absolutely in love with this Princess Tiana cake topper shaker with a flashing light for the firefly. 🥰😍💚.The light is very cool and can easily be turned on and off. Without the paper, it’s on. Slide the paper back in and it’s off. It comes in multi color or just white and both are available on my amazon shop (link is in my profile and select amazon). 💚💚💚
.I love the colors for a Tiana theme - green, gold, and white ... with a speck of purple.
OFF THE MAT: SNOW WHITE & CINDERELLA TODDLERS
I’m getting all sentimental and excited about hitting my one year mark as a crafting YouTuber .... so I wanted to challenge myself and make something as tall as my 5 1/2 yr old. I make cake toppers, iron-on vinyl on shirts, personalize anything and everything ... but i feel like when it comes to off-the-mat characters, I am a legit superstar 😁🤪😂🤣. This toddler Snow White is going to be bananas 🍌 🍌 🍌.
MILESTONE SHAKER and slider: KINDERGARTEN / BACK TO SCHOOL
What is it? It’s another milestone shaker! This time for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I’m missing a true mommy moment of documenting her first day of kindergarten. So of course what’s the next best thing? Making her home desk as EXTRA AF. One week left!!! Any suggestions? 😂🤣🥰.
MERMAID CAKE TOPPER
Another day, another cake topper shaker order. I love how all the colors shine and it’s just all so extra. 😂🥰🧜♀️ 🐳 💙💜💚.
Tips:
1. Foam sheet cuts on my Cricut Maker on flex foam setting using the rotary blade - cuts like 🧈.
2. For Print and Cut, I added white circles behind the purple beads so that it won’t try to cut around those tiny details. I try to avoid anything that will give me a headache. Lol. I’ve had plenty of times when the image is ruined cause it ripped during the last step.
3. Sequins is like ordering food - it’s better to have leftovers than to be left hungry. #moreisalwaysbetter 😂🤣.
MILESTONE SHAKER: FIRST TOOTH
I'm starting a new trend - milestone shakers! Ok, maybe everyone is already doing it and I'm totally late to the game. LOL. My 5 1/2 yr old went to the dentist last week and we were told there's movement! So sometime in the next 4-6 months, a tooth will be lost. She's my only one and I was feeling so emotional hearing the news. 😪😥. I knew I had to make something right away cause who knows what can happen during my quarantine fatigue.
LAWNMOWER CAKE TOPPER
This 5 yr old wanted this lawnmower. 😂🤣. Let me just say there was not a single lawnmower cake topper on Pinterest or Etsy to get ideas! It was a challenge for me to limit my glitter cardstock. 😂🤣. I hope he enjoys the John Deere mower and the hammers in the shaker. Lol.
Tip: for the slider, the Perler brand perler beads are great! Thanks to @thecraftyblock on IG for this awesome idea. ❤️💕💜.
OFF THE MAT: QUEEN BEE - LOL SURPRISE
Queen Bee from LOL Surprise - she is 30 inches straight off the Cricut cutting mat (so nothing has been taped down). The skin color was hard to capture on camera. It’s a golden light brown that I’ve used for Princess Jasmine as well. It’s from Cricut’s Shimmer Paper - Bedazzled Sampler package.
DIY BUTTERFLY GRADUATION CAP
I am in love with how this turned out and hopefully one day my daughter will too! At least it’ll be fully documented how much work went into this. 😂🤣
Originally I thought about doing it straight onto the cap, but this cardstock layer might be a good option in case you want pics with and without OR the school doesn’t allow it for the official graduation. Add the tassel and I think the whole thing is very stable.
OFF THE MAT: RAINBOW BRITE
Rainbow Brite ❤️💜💚💛💙🌈
She’s 30 inches and just so stinking cute in all her colors.
Learn how to determine the maximum size you can do with minimal seams (which in this case was 36 inches) AND learn how to exceed that and make it an entire foot longer (total of 48 inches - 4 feet high) with the same amount of seams 😍
DIY CINDERELLA CUPCAKE TOPPERS
Quick run down on the Print and Cut feature.
A few DO NOTS that I may or nay not have experienced myself 😂😭🤣🤦♀️ The cutest Cinderella cupcake toppers for the cutest little girl - happy quarantine bday 💙💙💙
OFF THE MAT: LADYBUG FROM MIRACULOUS
It's Ladybug from Miraculous! This off-the-Mat Cricut project was sooo much fun and I’m absolutely in love with the final outcome even if I suck at puzzles!! 😂🤦♀️ All cardstock and glitter cardstock !!! ❤️💜💙💚. Perfect for party decor and pretty much that’s it 😂🤣. I’m thinking about making Cat Noir, her sidekick, so Charlotte can carry around with her Halloween costume. .
OFF THE MAT: TOTORO AND FRIENDS
I love doing tutorials and helping someone finish their project. Here is the final outcome (not my work, just my tutorial) — love it!!!! Special thanks to Straws, Sticks & Bricks for the amazing svg files ❤️❤️❤️
DIY SPACE THEMED CAKE TOPPER AND SHAKER
I love this space themed cake topper shaker! 💙❤️💚💗💜Also included a Space themed 8! A perfect complement to the cake topper. Both are shakers with Cricut acetate star paper. For this 8, I tried the Xyron Inc Creative Station. Why did I wait so long to try it out! It basically turns everything into a sticker... and this case it really helped to seal in the shaker. Absolutely love it!
OFF THE MAT: REY - STAR WARS
Look at this little badass - Rey from Star Wars! She’s 30 inches of cardstock and stinking adorable ❤️💙💚💛💜🧡
Tips:
1. Do not attempt to do this any smaller than 30 inches. There are too many details (aka little pieces).
2. There are many pieces that need to be modified (unlock to make bigger) in order to weld with another piece. Otherwise you will have even more pieces than you will want to deal with. 😂🤯😬
OFF THE MAT: PIKACHU - POKEMON
I've done so many characters since the first Pikachu that I decided to mess around with the design. Do you see it??? I'm excited to try it this way. The only seams you can see are on the black cardstock and probably a total of an inch. You can always watch the video 😂😘😊
OFF THE MAT: FREDDY KRUEGER
Even scary guys need glitter lol 😂. Ok so this guy is not an order - I’m just making him to try to scare the sh!t out of my husband. Still a work in progress but I’m loving all the details. And just for size reference, there’s my little Charlotte next to 30 inches of jasmine and Freddy.
OFF THE MAT: CINDERELLA
Cinderella in cardstock at 26 inches 💛💛💛
Cinderella, dressed in yellow; went upstairs to kiss her fellow ... I can never say Cinderella without thinking of yellow jump ropes on the school playground ❤️💙💛 .Steps to minimize seams:1. Make a copy of the face2. Use contour to remove all cutouts (eyes, nose, mouth, etc.)3. Change the copy to black to match your outline
