Easter Vinyl Bucket

Easter Vinyl Buckets

This weekend was a mixture of weather in my area of the woods, Saturday was cloudy and temperature wise, ok...Sunday was cloudy and 45 when we got up for church then by noon it was 43 and hail...yep, hail...then a torrent of rain. Today is snow, cold and windy. I think the groundhog was just angry someone woke him up so he gave us false hope.

On to the projects....I made my great niece and nephew Easter buckets.  I wish the buckets had smooth edges, and you would think that would be easy to find, but it's not.  I am still happy with how they came out though. 

Supplies:  Oracal outdoor vinyl, transfer tape, Cricut cartridges, Hello Kitty, Alphalicious, Plantain Schoolbook, Elegant Edges, Mickey  and  Friends, and my Cricut cutting machine.

My little niece loves Hello Kitty so of course that is what hers was...

My little nephew is still quite young and not into sports yet, so I had a choice between trucks, cars, and dinosaurs. So I choice trucks.  His has 6 different colors of trucks and dots...

A few more Easter posts to come...if I had more time, it would be scary...all these ideas and not enough time to do it all.

Happy Crafting...

Hello Kitty Valentine

Finally finished doing my great niece's valentines last night.  I had been looking for the past year for the "Hello Kitty" Cricut cartridge but didn't want to give my firstborn to get it. The prices for used cartridges were just out of this world.  I was lucky enough to have someone offer to sell me their cartridge before listing it. Thanks to Candace Palfrey for that referral. 

My little niece has always loved "Hello Kitty" so I surprised her by making her Valentines with the new cartridge.  She wanted boxes of candy so in order to make it easy, I just cut a shape and attached the box to the back of the Valentine with hot glue (you do know that hot glue and duct tape can do anything).  For this project I used:

Cricut Hello Kitty Cartridge

Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge

Silver Stickles

Colored Cardstock

and of course

Jaded Blossom Valentine's Stamps



I have a few more custom Valentines to do tonight then it's on to St. Patricks and Easter stuff for an upcoming craft fair.  Come see me in Dover, TN at St. Francis Catholic Church on Saturday March 9th.  Custom Easter items will be available.  (Of course, I have to wait for my new Easter stamps from Jaded Blossom
