Ice cream party tags and game

My seven year old granddaughter was having an ice cream themed birthday party at a local frozen yogurt restaurant. I helped her mother by making the ice cream tags to put on the party favors. I cut them out using my Cricut machine and the Simply Charmed Cartridge.
I punched holes in the tops of the cones and left them blank for her mom to write on.

Instead of Pinning the Tail on the Donkey they decided to put the Cherry on the Ice Cream Sundae. I made the sundae by sketching it out freehand then cutting the pieces out from colored scrapbook paper scraps I had on hand. After assembling it I added a few accents with my glitter pen. They hung it on the wall for a decoration until it was time for the children to try to put the cherries on. It was a fun time!

 

Halloween Boo

I painted black wooden letters from Michaels and covered them with Halloween themed scrapbook paper from Martha Stewart Crafts and Ghostly Greetings from K & Company. I traced the wooden letters onto the paper, cut out and glued the paper on. I love the result.

I plan to make one for Thanksgiving next.

Halloween Treats

I made some special cupcakes for Halloween this year...vanilla cupcakes with buttercream icing with scary eyes...pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting with fondant bats.

For the fondant bats I cut out of heavy card stock a bat using my Cricut and the Create A Critter 2 Cartridge to use a pattern. And then, yes I did, I cut out each bat with a knife going around my bat pattern. It was a little tedious, but worth it. My only mistake was rolling the fondant too thin, so I did have a little trouble with the wings threatening to break off.

For the eyes, I cut out circles from white fondant, cut the circles in half, then used a food safe marker to make pupils. That was easy!

I forgot how delicious made from scratch cupcakes taste! Yum! They were a hit.
