All in Crafts
It has been a while since I have posted all of my new Silhouette Cameo projects. Over the last year, I have made a lot of shirts, some onesies, and a lot more things. Below are some of the things I have made that I haven’t already posted about within all of my other blog posts!
So let me be honest. I decided to go through my drafts folder on my blog and found this beauty. And what is crazy, is the post was entirely finished. So I am not sure why I never posted it. So here we are MANY years later posting it! I mean I didn’t even have a logo on my pictures it was so long ago. But enjoy!
So a year later, I decided to finally post about this painting I did with Melody. I guess I forgot we even did this and stumbled across it and remembered how cute it was! During a countdown for one of our Disney trips, we did different Disney related activities. One of those things was making an “UP” Painting. It was a very thrown together idea that was a risk, but it turned out great!
As I mentioned Tuesday, I wanted to do a special card for our parents for Valentine’s Day that involved Melody’s hands. For my parents I decided to make a bouquet of flower. It was so cute, I actually made one for us to put with our Valentine’s Day decor! Oh and this would be a cute card for any occasion!
I wanted to give both of our parents a little sweet Valentine’s Day card from Melody. I decided to try and incorporate her hand prints in the cards since she is much better with paint these days. After look around on Pinterest, I found an idea I absolutely loved for Brad’s parents. His parents live in Memphis, and we don’t get to see them as regularly as my parents. So the idea of a “long distance hug” was perfect!
I mentioned Thursday that I had hoped to post this sooner. But Melody and I didn’t come up with a Valentine Exchange idea until Wednesday. So I spent Thursday creating it! Melody wanted to give her classmates and teachers Oreos. Thankfully Publix had their individually wrapped Oreos BOGO this week. I opted to get the larger sized ones. I had approximately 24 kids/teachers to give them to, so this worked out best too.
I was hoping to be posting about this year’s Valentine’s Exchange for preschool, but I just came up with what I am doing yesterday! So that is a post for next week! But I did make a cute small banner using leftover supplies from the Valentine Banner I posted about earlier this week! I hung it in our foyer next to our Valentine presents.
I love hanging banners from our fireplace. I don’t have a Valentine one, so I checked out the dollar section at Target, but I didn’t find anything I loved. I found a few banners but you either put notes in them or hang pictures on them. I didn’t want either of those. So I decided to make my own.
Well I am back with another Disney stroller tag, ha! This time it is from our trip in October. Melody and I went with my mom on a work trip. We only spent two days at the park itself, but we did spend time at both Disney Springs and Port Orleans French Quarter. So we did get a lot of use out of it. So much use, it was all torn up by the end of the trip.
Whenever I start making invitations for any event, I always start out saying I will just pay and have them made and printed elsewhere. But then I start looking at things, and I tell myself I can make them myself for much cheaper. So here we are again, haha. I saw similar ideas of this invitations on Pinterest, but I don’t have any direct links. It is just where I found my inspiration. I made these invitations for my best friend for her baby shower recently.
So at Melody’s preschool, we send in a small Valentine for each of the kids. I wanted to send in something other than candy and something not store-bought. I decided to send in some sort of “party favor” with a cute note. I opted for small rubber ducks. I mean what kid doesn’t love a rubber ducky for the bathtub!
I have made many diaper cakes at this point for various baby showers/sprinkles. But this was my first diaper cake for a little boy! My best friend recently had a baby boy, and I hosted a baby shower for her a while back. It was so much fun getting to use lots of blues instead of all the pink we are used to! I kept the diaper cake simple, but it was definitely all boy!
One of the pieces of decor I used at Emily’s baby shower was a onesie banner. I placed the banner over my fireplace, and it was sort of a centerpiece to the living room where everyone would be sitting. I made the onesies using my Silhouette Cameo of course.
Back in August we went to Disney very last minute, and we had to throw together a stroller tag. While it isn’t necessary, it is truly easier to find your stroller with something that makes it stand out.
At our new house, we have one extra door than our previous home. So I was short a door hanger for the fall season. I have a few fall yard flags, so I decided to make a door hanger out of one of the flags.
Emily did a Paw Patrol themed birthday party for Lydia’s third birthday. I helped her out by making a few items using my Silhouette Cameo machine. One of which was a Happy Birthday banner. I used the Paw Patrol font for “Happy Birthday”. Then I made shields with the number 3 on each side. It was simple yet super cute!
For Melody’s 3rd birthday party we were faced with a dilemma…what do we do with all of the kids. For Melody’s first birthday party, she was obviously so young, and there were not that many kids. And the kids that did come were young too. We had a few things outside that Melody played with, but the kids primarily stayed inside and toddled. For Melody’s second birthday party, we had it at my best friend’s house due to our remodel, and there were three kids. That was easy.
For Melody’s third birthday I did a Snow White themed party. I ended up making all of the party banners because it is near impossible to find exclusively Snow White things in the store.
For Lydia’s 3rd birthday, Emily did a Paw Patrol theme. I helped with cutting the parts to the invitations, and I also made cookies. Well I also used my Silhouette Cameo to cut some “shields” from the show to use as added decor.
As you may have read by now, I love to do small “happys” whenever we take trips or for other special occasions. Well we recently went to the beach and I did a happy for all of the girls. Check them out below.
