Valentine Ice Cream Cupcakes

For my son's class on Valentine's  I made ice cream cone cupcakes. They were a big hit! I placed them in a plastic cup and put candies at the bottom of each.

Spooky Halloween Boxes

These were made using the cricut cartridge Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. I found some really nice Halloween paper. I used a spooky stamp and glued wiggly eyes to the letter O's. I filled each with Halloween treats for my son's class.

Diaper Cake

This was the first time I made a diaper cake. My sister in law was having a baby boy so I decided to try to make a diaper cake for her baby shower.

I bought one package of diapers size 1. I rolled each diaper  and tied it with an elastic band. You can also use a ribbon. I bought 3 cake tiers in different sizes and started to arrange all the rolled diapers together starting with the bigger tier. To hold all the diapers together I used one big rubber band. I then stacked all the tiers and tied a thick ribbon around each tier so the elastic band wouldn't show. I bought some baby booties, socks, baby cap, some bath toys, washcloths etc. to decorate the diaper cake. I tied each with ribbon. For the top of the cake I bought a Winnie the Pooh stacking toy.

Yoshi Goodie Bag and Super Mario hat

                                                                                                                  

I also made Yoshi goody bags for each of the boys. They were made using green lunch bags that I got at Micheal's. From the CoolParty Blog. I downloaded templates for the goodie bags. 

I also made the Super Mario hats. I bought red baseball hats and cut out a white circle on cotton fabric. The M was cut on red fabric. I used heat and bond and ironed  it on on the hats.  Each guest  got a hat. 

Super Mario Mushroom Cupcakes

For Julian's 8th birthday party with his school friends he had asked me to make it a Super Mario birthday party. So I decided to make mushroom cupcakes. I iced the cupcakes with butter cream icing and topped them with white chocolate molding wafers. I cut out stripes of white cardstock. With black cardstock cut two eye shapes (I used my stampin up punch)  use a white gel pen to put two small white stripes on the black eye pieces. Then I  taped them around the base of each cupcake. I placed them on a cupcake stand that I had made. My son and his friends thought the cupcakes were "so cool!!"

Gummie Bear Hats

Julian was in a talent show in school. They were presenting  the Gummie bear song. He let me know he was doing this two days before the talent show. So I decided to make the group of six kids some bear hats. Yes......I am crazy!!!  So I rushed to Micheal's and bought different color baseball hats for each of the kids. I already had brown fabric I bought peach color felt for the insides of the ears.    
  I cut the baseball hats on the sides with two slits with an exacto knife. I made a template for the bear ears and for the inside of the ears. I used cardboard from some empty cereal boxes to put inside the bear ears to keep them standing up. I then put a brown fabric piece down on top of that the cardboard piece and then the other brown fabric piece. I then sewed the ear together. I put the peach color piece on top of the brown piece and hot glued it on. You can also sew it on but I didn't have a lot of time. I put the ears into the slit that I had cut on the baseball hats. I hot glued the ears to the inside of the baseball hats.

Baby's Flower Pot

I made this paper flower arrangement using the Cricut cartridge Walk in my garden. The flowers were cut using different sizes and I just layered them on top of each other using a hot glue gun. I put floral tape on the skewers and glued those on to the flowers.  I also used ink on the edges of each flower. For the middle of the flowers  I used either buttons or embellishments. I found wooden animals and glued those on skewers  as well.                                                                        

                                                                                               



For the flower pot I tied a ribbon around the pot and used floral foam to hold the flowers. I put green tissue paper on top of the foam.
