Day 4-25 Days of Crafting Fun-Love Theme

Hello and welcome to day 4 of 25 days of Christmas Crafting Showcase at Cooking with Cricut.  Today's theme is February and Love.  I decided to get an early start on planning for my Valentine gifts for the teachers at my children's school.  I used this super cute digi stamp which you can get at Cooking with Cricut to create a tube of love (also known as candy, LOL).

Here is my tube full of love (candy :):

I just used two 2X12 inch pieces of red paper for the rosette and then I cut a scalloped circle at 2.5 inches using Art Philosophy and then printed the digi stamp and used my circle punch to cut him out.  Isn't he adorable.  I hot glued it all together and then hot glued it onto my tube filled with red Rollo's (you could also do red M&M's or red Hershey kisses!  I know I would be happy to receive one of these :)

Don't forget to go back to Cooking with Cricut and see all of the great freebies and ideas shared by the other designers and you can also enter to win some great giveaways (make sure you read the requirements completely).  

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!

So Thankful M&M Tubes

I purchased these clear tubes from SRM months and months ago with the best intent to use them...but they just sat on the shelf :)  So I decided I wanted to make something small for my childrens teachers and admin school staff so I thought an M&M tube would be perfect!  I of course decided to get started on it last night around 9:30pm...needless to say I was up LATE!  I tried to make it as simple as possible.  Here they are:

I saw a few templates online but I just decided to make my own.  I used solid paper for the "holder", then added patterned paper to decorate it.  I used patterned paper for the scallop circle and for the little circle to put on the lid as well.  I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut the scallop at 2.25 inches.  I used a creme colored cardstock to print the sentiment on (which I just came up with because I have NO Thanksgiving stamps for some reason).  I used a scallop punch I had, I believe it is 2inches, to cut out the sentiment.  I replaced Principal with teacher for that one and for the admin assistant I just put So THANKFUL for you.  I also hot glued ribbon (I had some ribbon that said so thankful-perfect right and when I ran out of that I had some with leaves on it).  If I had more time I probably would have added a turkey or something...maybe next time :) 

If anyone is interested in the template I made, let me know and I will post it :)  TFL!
