Make It Monday - Christmas Crafting with the Cameo


A few years ago I received the Silhouette machine as a gift from my mother and my life has never been the same...hehe..ok maybe I am exaggerating a bit, but honestly, this machine is the bomb.


I found these enamel cups at an antique shop but you can use paper cups also.  By themselves they are so cute, but I knew they could be even cuter with a little help. Using my Cameo and some vinyl....



I transformed these cute cups into fun whimsy cocoa bar cups, for the children, for the holidays.  Here is what I did - I bought the images from the Silhouette store (usually .50 to a 1.00 per image but then you own them forever) and cut onto vinyl.  Stick to the cups and there you have it.  (not dishwasher safe) They turned out so cute, don't you think? 



Pair them up with some help-yourself cocoa, marshmallows and cookies and you have the perfect Night Before Christmas cocoa bar for the kiddos. 


Maybe even a peppermint stick or two or maybe some chocolate spoon stirrers. 

BONUS PROJECT: 


Here is how I decorated my Kitchen Aid mixer for the holidays (this was two years ago and still holds up to this day).  Sorry for the color, it was with an old IPhone and the camera was not the best.
It turned out so festive! 

Here is an example of how I cut some vinyl and put onto paper cups for New Years Eve. 


Do you have a Silhouette machine?  What kind of projects do you do with it? 

Happy Holidays and have fun crafting!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...
