Craft. Silhouette Cameo Kitchen Aid makeover!

I am in love.  There is no other word to describe it.  I just received my Silhouette Cameo this weekend.  UGH!!  This machine is T H E  B O M B!  I have soooooo much to discover, but the minute I broke it out of the box I just knew I had to makeover my kichen aid mixer!  Yea!!

This little project took me all of about 45 minutes (because I'm a newbie) -
and I am loving the results! 

I'll share my to-do's below.

Ok, for the wording on the top I just loved what Create.Craft.Love did so I had to recreate!  I found my London Tube font at Fontspace, and used the same cupcake from the Silhouette online store found here. 

Some people may just want to stop after that.  Not me.  I wanted to fancy it up after that, so I found TypeBackgrounds font, which has some pretty neat scrolls.  I printed 3 of those in the same size (4.82 W x 6.070 H), then another that was 2.795 W x 3.525 H (for the back round area), and applied randomly to my mixer.

 

I LOVE the way it turned out!  Happy Silhouette-ing! 

Craft. Frappuccino bottle pumpkin votives.

I have TONS of these bottles and have been frantically searching Pinterest for something to make out of them!  I couldn't find anything that would work for me, so I decided to wing it. 

Using torn up orange tissue paper, Modge Podge, green spray paint, and my new Silhouette Cameo machine (for the vinyl faces) I created Pumpkin Tealights!

Once lit, they bottle does get a bit warm, but I burned it until the candle wax was gone (without the lid) and it worked perfect!  (If you are using vinyl to decorate the front, be sure to push the candle as far back away from the vinyl as you can as it could melt)

Now I have my giveaways for my Annual Pumpkin Carving Party!!  Woo hoo!!
