MY PROJECTS
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.
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: SUGAR SKULL
My tribute to Kobe - he had strong ties to the Latino community and this just spoke to me. 💜💛💜💛💜💛I played around with it quite a bit before I settled on these colors 💜💛
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
OFF THE MAT: ARIEL - THE LITTLE MERMAID PARTY PROP
Its Ariel at 20 inches! In one of the tutorials below, I show how to attach the project to foam board and how to cut it out. One of my most frequently asked questions is how to do this. The video will show the whole process!
