Candy Bouquet and Rhyme for Valentine's :)

Hey everybody! I hope ya'll had a wonderful weekend :)

Today I want to share with ya'll the Valentine surprise I've put together for my boyfriend. It's a candy bouquet and it has a rhyme to go along with it.You may have already seen this on Pinterest (that's where I saw it) or at pattiewack.com, and while I kept most of it the same, there are a few differences.

Here is what mine looks like :)

 

The Rhyme :

Life is a (symphony) on Valentine's Day!

And to my (sweettart) I just wanna say...

Please don't (snicker) at my silly rhyme,

And we'll celebrate with a (whopper) of a time!

I wouldn't trade you for (100 grand)

Because you're my (Lifesaver) and my best friend.

You probably think this gift is funny.

But I'll always be your (Bit O' Honey).

So let's have (mounds) of fun today,

and have a Happy Valentine's Day!

P.S. - I give you my (heart (a Reeses heart)) and

 lot's of hugs and (kisses)!!! :)

**You can also use Big Hunk in the place of sweettart, but I couldn't find the Big Hunk candy.**

I printed this out and put it on a heart in the bouquet.

I changed mine to say (Lifesavers) instead of (good n' plenty) because he doesn't like licorice. I also added the P.S. at the end.

I put Happy Valentine's Day on the flower pot with vinyl and added a silver glitter ribbon around it.

I love the way it turned out!

Wanna make your own?

Here's what I used:

A flower pot

 (size depends on the candy size you use and

extra stuff you add! As you can see, I had to have a very large one lol)

Floral Foam

Shredded Paper

Tape

Wooden Skewers 

Ribbon

Cardstock (white and red)

Cricut Expression

Gyspy

White Vinyl

Glitter

Balloon

Red hearts on a stick (found at the Dollar Tree)

Red Paint & Paint Brush

Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks

Candy I used:

Hershey's Symphony

Wonka Sweettarts

Snickers

Whoppers

100 grand

Lifesavers

Bit O' Honey

Mounds

Reeses Hearts

Hershey kisses

Directions:

1.) Paint your flower pot.

2.) Hot glue all the candy to the wooden skewers.

3.) Put your floral foam in your flower pot and arrange your candy (and extra stuff) the way you want.

4.) Use your gypsy and cricut to cut out the vinyl and stick it to your pot. Mine is cut from the gypsy wanderings cartridge and it's welded together. (skip this step if you don't have a gypsy or cricut.)

5.) Tie your ribbon around your pot.

6.) Cut out a heart using your cricut or however is possible for you (i have 2 layers of hearts so I used pop dots to stick them together) 

7.) Add glitter or any other decoration.

8.) Print out your poem and glue it to your heart.

9.) Glue or tape your heart to a wooden skewer. (mine is taped)

And that's all :)

"There is always, always, always something to be thankful for."

I was going to wait until tomorrow to share this, but I just CAN'T wait! lol

I just finished putting vinyl on another old window sash and I am totally in love with it! I love love love putting vinyl on windows. It's actually maybe possibly kind of addicting! :) I haven't used my cricut in over a week so I was very excited to use it again!

On my last window sash that I did I put "All you need is LOVE" on it. You can see that here.

I found a quote on Pinterest that I absolutely love and I decided it would be perfect on a window! This was originally done on a piece of wood over at My Crafty Playground!
 

 

I designed it on my gypsy and then used my cricut expression with the 12"x24" mat and cut the words as big as I could. The words in white are done in the font off of the Plantin SchoolBook cartridge and the word thankful is done from the gypsy font cartridge and I welded it together on my gypsy.

I hope you like it! :)

Vinyl on an Old Window

Hey everyone! Thanks for visiting!

I am SO excited about what I'm fixing to show y'all!

 This is probably my most favorite thing I've done so far! I found this through Pinterest and just couldn't wait to do it! It originally came from Sisters With Flair blog.

I put "all you need is LOVE." in vinyl on an old window that I got for $4 at Firehouse Antiques.  I stayed up til nearly 3 in the morning working on it, but it was so worth it because I love how it turned out!

I am so in love with it! What do ya'll think??? :)

This was my first time cutting vinyl on my cricut and I only messed up once because it didn't cut through the vinyl so I had to change my pressure.

I used these settings for cutting my vinyl:

Pressure - medium

speed - low

blade - 6

That gave me the 'kiss cut' (cut through the vinyl, but not the backing) that I needed.

I used my gypsy to design it how I wanted it. It took me 2 days to finally get my cricut to cut my welded images off my gypsy. I still don't know what I was doing wrong lol.

I had to split it up since I was using 2 different colors of vinyl. 

Next, I cut out my designs.

Don't you just love that pink??

Now, I'm gonna share something totally awesome with ya'll that I found through Pinterest that linked back to this blog. First, let me just say how completely amazing her and her husband are for thinking of this! It was so easy and worked like a charm!

You can use Glad Press'n Seal as an inexpensive alternative to Transfer Tape! I didn't think it was gonna work for me at first, but I got a card and pressed it as hard as I could onto the letters and it peeled them right up just like transfer tape would! You have to work with it a bit, but it's really not hard!

Next, it was time to put it on my window.

I put the love one under the window so I could kinda tell where it all needed to go. I started from left to right and pressed the letters down while holding the others in the air so they wouldn't stick before I wanted them to. This prevented my vinyl from folding up and wrinkling. Then I did the same for 'LOVE'.

 

ahh I love it! I can't wait to get it hung on my wall! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
