Baby-How tweet it is

I made this card for a good friend who just had a beautiful baby boy. I've been waiting to use this cute little cut for a while. I think a bird with a soother is too funny. Of course a card without a little pun would just be too sad.

Christmas Ornament 2011

Every year I make Christmas ornaments to place on everyone's place setting for Christmas dinner. This is the ornament that I came up with this year. I saw a similar ornament online...can't remember where...but it was painted. The swirl was then painted on top. I thought...adorable ornament...but too much work. I adapted this one by using the pledge floorwax technique and Martha Stewart glitter...inside the ornament. Then I finnished it off with a swirl cut with my Cricut Expression out of Cricut vinyl. I then wrapped the ornaments in cellophane and tied them with ribbon odds and ends. I love how these look like those little  peppermint candies. These ornaments were so simple to make.

Recipe:

1. plastic 4" disc shaped ornaments from Michael's
2. Pledge with Future floorwax
3. Martha Stewart-Garnet Glitter
4. Cricut white vinyl-3ml
5. Cricut cart-Wrap it up (swirl)
6. christmas ribbon odds and ends
