Mason Jar candles

 Hello my wonderful followers that have not given up on me. I have been so busy with my littles that I haven't been focusing on crafts.

 These are mason jar candle holders. I used timer flameless candles inside so my recipients would not have to get in and out of the jar. The vinyl was cut using my Silhouette.

 Lots of glitter inside using the same technique as the glitter ornaments. (Floor wax and glitter)

They came out nicely and I hope that my nieces like them.

Mason Jar Laterns

I was trying to come up with something new to make for Christmas gifts this year, which is a challenge because I make a lot of Christmas gifts. I came across a post on these mason jar lanterns in a FB group and loved them. So I busted out my floor wax and glitter and went to town. It is the same technique as the glitter xmas ornaments I made.

 I made the saying myself in design studio for this one and the apple is a Silhouette file.

 These cut files came from the silhouette store. I added little battery operated tea light candles that have a timer so you don't have to keep getting in the jar. They are self timing tea lights you can find on Amazon.

I found these cute little plastic bags at Michaels on sale for 50 cents and grabbed a bunch not knowing what I would use them for. They were perfect for that little something extra to go with these lantern gifts.

I added the girls names with vinyl on the front and put the lanterns in them. 

I know I haven't been as active on my blog this last year with having my baby girl but it makes me sad to see my followers leaving. I have lost 5 in the last month and it makes me super sad. I hope to have the rest of you stick around and enjoy looking at my crafts. You mean a lot to me :)

Vinyl Gifts for Xmas

Here are a few Christmas presents I made a few days before Xmas and had to time to post.

 I found these stars at World Market and thought I could do something with them. I added vinyl to them both. The top one I added shells inside and star fish on the outside.

 The images are from the SIL store.

 These two jars I bought at Hobby Lobby and added some vinyl to the front.

I also made some ornaments for my co workers.

I made these tumblers for my husbands co-workers.

Teacher Tumbler

 

 

I made this tumbler a while back but havent had the chance to post it yet. The apple is a Silhouette Studio image I purchased long ago.

I cut the glitter green vinyl from Joann's with my Cameo. I was not a fan of this vinyl and had a terrible time transferring it. Overall it came out ok for my first try.

Christmas Presents

Merry Christmas Everyone! I wanted to share these earlier but they are Christmas presents for my family members and I didnt want them to see them.

 These are shadow boxes. Such a cute and simple gift to make. I used scrapbook paper for the backgrounds.

 I used my Cameo to cut all the words and shapes. Most shapes came from the SIL store.

 The inside of the box are filled with various things you can get at a craft store.

I am entering into these challenges...

Vinyl Blog-a-versary Challenge

Crafty Card Gallery does a month challenge for us to play along with. This month we were given Vinyl to play with.

We had to make a card using Vinyl and I am glad we did. I have never thought to use vinyl on a card before. Embossing the vinyl looks so awesome and you can use the backing too.

The backing is a shiny white that I will be adding to a card as well.

I cut these turtles from Car Decal. I realized I need to use contact paper to transfer these and need to do them again because they are not perfect.

I used the outline piece to etch my favorite glass pan.

Do you get sick of losing your pans? Well now mine will have a turtle on them so I can always tell mine. Now I just need to do about 10 more, lol.

Follow the instructions on the Armour Etch (super easy).

Now no one can steal my bowl :)
There are so many things you can do with Vinyl. I love it and have done several things with it. Here are a couple past things I have done with vinyl.

Make sure you head over to The Crafty Card Gallery and see the other Vinyl projects.

Glass Blocks

I put etching cream all over the entire block.

I used vinyl cut outs on the fronts of the blocks. Then added a ribbon on top. This is such as easy project. It is a little costly yo make it but I love how they came out. I got the block, stand, and light at Hobby Lobby.

Any questions or comments are loved! Thanks for stopping by.
