MIckey and Friends Cupcake Toppers

I received an order for 20 Mickey Mouse and Friends Cupcake Toppers for a little girls second birthday.  I was excited to make these because it was the first time I used the Mickey and Friends Cartridge.  I am definitely pleased with the results even though the characters are very tedious and involve very small pieces.

Here they are!

Yes, Goofy is missing because the person that ordered these only wanted five characters and opted to omit Goofy.

She also wanted some Mickey and Minnie heads with the number two on them.  The number two is from the Mini Monograms cartridge which I am totally in love with again!



If I can get an actual picture of the toppers in cupcakes I will post it as well though it won't be until late September because that's when the party is! 

Also, if you are interested in Mickey Cupcake Toppers or other Disney Characters please email me at ktdesigns-katania@hotmail.com for more information and pricing.  I would love to make something custom for you!

Father's Day Gift

So I know it's a little late... well a lot late but I wanted to share with you the gift I gave my husband for father's day. 

I had seen many altered Starbucks drink cases out in blog land and thought it would be a great idea for my husband who loves sweets and nuts.  So I picked up a four pack and enjoyed every last sweet drop, washed them really good, and even had to save one from the recycle bin.

Then I measured and cut paper from my Die Cuts With a View Green Tea pack.  This is a great paper pack to pick up because it has gorgeous green, blue, and brown patterned paper that can definitely be used for more masculine projects. The best part about gluing the paper down on the case was that it created a very sturdy base for the four bottles which ended up being pretty heavy.  I even covered the handle part on both sides with pretty paper.

Then I added some ribbon around the outside of the patterned paper and cut out #1 Dad from George and Basic Shapes.  Then I cut some small scalloped circles from Mini Monograms and glued them on top.  Also I spray painted the tops white so he wouldn't see any writing from the bottles.

Overall I was pretty pleased with how it came out and my husband enjoyed every last bit of deliciousness I added to the bottles.  I used M&Ms, Peanut Butter Cups, cashews, and Jelly Belly Jelly Beans.

 YUM!

Here's to a great husband and a number one dad!!!
So what do you think?  Delicious and cute for Father's Day or what?

Birthday Series: Butterfly Birthday Party Invitations

Here's a early sneak peek for you for the birthday party I will be attending with the little man tomorrow.  My niece will be ONE!!!  My cousin asked me to create 40 invitations for her daughter's birthday party.  The theme for the party is butterflies.    Enjoy:)

The invitation says:

Butterfly kisses,

Giggles and fun,

Our little Princess Butterfly (my niece's nickname) (original saying was flutterby)

(child's name) is turning (age)!

Flutter on down to:

(address)

(date)

RSVP to the Queen Butterfly

The wording on the invitation is not my original idea.  When I googled butterfly party invitation wording this is what I found and I fell in love with it right away.



I used BoBunny paper with polka dots for the background.





I pop dotted the butterfly so the wings would pop up when you took it out of the envelope.

I used my Cricut to cut out the scalloped circle and the butterfly.  Cartridges used were Mini Monograms and Create a Critter respectively. 

You can really see the dimension in this photo with the scalloped circle and butterfly wings.



This is how I package the orders.  My labeled bag and some ribbon to make a cute presentation.



If you are interesting in ordering custom invitations for any event (child's birthday, adult birthday, baby shower, bridal shower, etc.) please feel free to leave me a comment with your contact information or email me HERE for current pricing and options. Note: All invitations come with envelopes.
