Well I'm a day late, but Happy Spring y'all!  I made a home decor to welcome spring, but mother nature must not have gotten the memo yet because where I live, it's still stinkin' cold! 

For this project, I let my Cricut and my Cameo have a play date LOL!  The birdcage is cut with the Cameo and is all paper; it is an image from the Silhouette Studio store for 99 cents (this particular one is an old one, but I did see a couple of new birdcage designs I can't wait to download and play with).  It is over 11 inches tall.  Another Cameo cut was the hanging sign "Home Tweet Home", cut using the print and cut feature, with the Andalus and Abbeyline fonts.    The Cricut cuts were the tons of flowers from the Art Philosophy cart, and the vines from the Home Decor and More cart.  I added some red tulle and thin cream ribbons I had lying around.  The bird's nest and the birds inside were bought from Michaels. 

After I cut and rolled the flowers, I assembled them along the perimeter of this flower pot dish (turned upside down), and then started glueing them in place with a glue gun.

Here are some closeups of the birdcage.

That's it for me today.  Have a wonderful day!  Thanks so much for stopping by!  



Mickey Graduation Cap

Hi there!  Just wanted to share the Mickey Mouse Graduation Cap I decorated to give to my niece as an early 8th grade graduation gift (I made her another gift which I will post later this week).  On our trip to Disneyland last month we grabbed this Mickey Mouse graduation cap and really wanted to have it embroidered with her name on it but Disneyland was not offering this service at the time of purchase.  So....I went online and ordered a white iron-on vinyl from expressionsvinyl.com.  This is the first time I've ever done an iron-on vinyl and I like how this turned out! 

Here are the before pictures of the graduation cap:

I was able to cut the vinyl on my new E2!  My settings were blade at 5, speed at 3, pressure at 5 and multicut at 2.  I made sure that I flipped everything before cutting.  Here is a pic of the pieces after I weeded the unnecessary parts.

Here are more pics of the graduation cap after I've decorated it. 

I enjoyed altering this cap to fit her personality! 

Details:

* "Jules" - Gypsy Font, welded

* "You rock!" - Quarter Note, some letters welded

* star - Home Decor and More

* Butterfly - Kate's ABCs

Thanks for looking!
