Easter Bunny Brownies in a Jar
I made these for my 2 older daughters for Easter 2015:
These were fun to make. The tags were a little time consuming. I used pop dots for some dimension on the "Happy Easter" label.
I was able to cut all the components at one time, by setting it up like this:
The bottom right, where the jar ring is, I used metallic cardstock. Since it was much thicker then the rest. I copied the file on top of itself, so that just those pieces did a double cut. I think next time I would use a lighter piece of cardstock for the grass. It cut the fine pieces well enough, but the cardstock layers kind of split.

Marching Band Halloween Treat
These were for my daughter's Marching Band her first season. I think I made 88 in total.
They spent Halloween evening on the road to Detroit for the State Marching Band Competition , so I thought it would be nice, if they all had a little treat on the bus.
Supplies
- Silhouette Cameo Electronic Cutter
- Bag Topper : Print and Cut
- Music Background - Digital Scrapbook Paper
Seasoning Jars - Vinyl Labels
My daughters and I make our own Taco Seasoning and Lawry's Seasoning (Emeril Essence). For Christmas I made both girls little jars and filled them. I did colors to match their kitchens. Forgot to take a picture of them filled.
I have made quite a few for our different pantry items using this design I purchased from the Silhouette Design Store: Design #41609 so I used the same font so they would all match.

Ribbon Bobbins
I am making some Plastic Bobbins for my ribbon out of Flexible Cutting Mats.
When Ribbon goes on sale at Michael's I try to get there to get a few. Eventually I will have all the colors in the 3 sizes: Loop, 1/8in and 1/4 inch. There is nothing that drives me more crazy then working on something and not having the right color or size of ribbon. I know...a little OCD there, but I am sure I am not alone.
The Bobbin is 2.25" x 2.50"
I store them in a box/drawer in a rolling cart I got from Joann's that hubby made dividers for out of foam board. I still have quite a few to wind on bobbins. I am sure it will fill a couple boxes/drawers.
I bought the plastic Flexible Cutting Mats at Walmart, and had made an SVG to cut with SCAL on my Cricut. I am not offering the file because there are quite a few free files all over the internet now.
Below I have posted the settings to cut it on the Cricut.

Mini Comp and Bookmark Cheer
I made these Cheer books for my daughter's Cheer Coaches with Paw Print Paperclip Bookmarks:
I made these Paw Print Paperclip Bookmarks for girls on the Cheer Team. The Paw Print is a design that is meant to go on a Hair Clippie. I cut a slit in the back, put it the paperclip and hot glued it closed. Not fabulous looking, but satisfactory and the paperclip should stay in.
I made this one for my Granddaughter who is in Kindergarten and is a Cheerleader:
I only have 65 more Mini Comp books left in my stash! Once I get down to 20, I can go to Walgreen's and stock up again!!!!! It was really hard to make myself NOT go this Back to School season when they go on sale!!! I know...it's a sickness!!

No-Sew Braided Fleece Throw - Cheer
I made this for myself! Something that hardly ever happens!
It's nice to cuddle up in at those chilly Fall Football games!!
The Braided Edge tutorial can be found here:
Double Layered No-Sew "Braided" Fleece Blanket Tutorial
The fringe strips around the edge are 1.5 inches long, and 1 inch wide. Instead of cutting a slit in the ends of the fringe strips, I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch holes, so they would be more uniform.

In The Hoop Zipper Bag
I made this as a Christmas gift for Lilly. A little late posting.
The straps weren't in the project, but thanks to ALOT of help from the crafty people on SewForum, I was able to add them.
The bag is done entirely In the Hoop. The strap is done on the sewing machine.
I made it long enough for it to be a Cross-Body bag. It is perfect size for her phone.

Coffee To Go Flip It Card
I made this for a good friend of mine for her Birthday.
I adapted the Silhouette version of the Basic Flip Card design, merged it with the Silhouette Coffee Cup to Go Design to make a To Go Cup Flip card. This one does not technically "swing" because the gift card was a little wider than the coffee cup, so it just flips.
The Sentiment on the front and the Happy Birthday are both Print and Cut Bracket tags.
If I make another one, I hope to remember to ink the edges of the cup. I think it would have given it some dimension.
