Teacher you make life SWEET!

Hey there my crafty friends is bloggie land,  this is teacher appreciation week at my son's school and I truly feel blessed that my son has such an amazing teacher and aide.. So, I have a couple of goodies I'm making them this week and today I wanted to share one of them (Yes, I said "a few").. Well, I decided to cruise Pinterest  the other day for inspiration and I can across a few fun ideas.. The one that inspired this project was a insulated cup filled with Crystal Light packets and a tag with a pun on it.... So, here's what I came up with:

 On my tag stamped (using the Peach Keen  PK-104 What Time is it?? background stamp) and

 heat embossed the green background.. The cute face on my apple  was stamped 

with the Peachy Keen PK-293 The Cornies Assortment stamps..

 The sentiment was made using 2 of Joy's Life Stamps .. 

The apple is from the "Give a Hoot" cart..

I found the cups at Wal-Mart for $2 for both of them..

 I used E.A.D. Designs vinyl ( which I love), Sesame Street Font (name), 

StoryBook (marque), &  Plantin SchoolBook (apple)..

Here's the photo I was inspired by: 

Supplies I used:

* Cricut carts: Sesame Street Font , StoryBook, Plantin SchoolBook, & Give a Hoot

*PK-104 What Time is it?? and PK-293 The Cornies Assortment  (Peachy Keen)

*Everyday Occasions stamps & Yummy Puns Stamps   ( Joy's Life Stamps)

*Vinyl  (E.A.D. Designs)  

*Ink 

*Embossing Powder (clear) 

*Heat Gun

* Pens (white & black)

Baby Girl Card and Surpise Gender Baby Cake

Hey guys, I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.. Mine was pretty busy, but I did manage to get one card made on "World Card Making Day".. I made my card for a friend of mine who asked me to make a surprise gender baby cake for her... It was such an honor to be the first person to know what she was having.. For the cake, I had to make the inside pink or blue so when they cut into it they would know what they were having.. This was such a fun cake to make :0)

The cake was Strawberry (PINK) with chocolate frosting filling
and Butter Cream Icing with fondant decorations..

This is the sketch I used from the World Card Making Day Challenge
