Baby Handkerchief Card

Okay so I am not getting here as often as I hoped. However praise to God that I still am able and enjoy being creative. We all have so many blessings to be thankful for. I am thankful to God that I can share my creations with my friends.
I have since the first time I saw one, liked the cards where a handkerchief formed part of the card, usually a brides gown or ladies dress.
On this card the handkerchief is the babies blanket or wrap. It could also be saved to be a special handkerchief later in the babies life....maybe her wedding.

Gummy Candy ... ok jellies

Sounding a bit American with the candy bit. Had hubby shaking his head tonight as I work with lollies(candies or sweets)all day long then come home and announce I have a recipe I want to try ...for lollies! Gotta love him.
Came across this recipe for gummi candy. The result was more like jellies than gummi bears but anyway it was fun to make. I used a pkt of aeroplane jelly crystals and an equivalent amount of gelatin and a dessertspoon of flavour essence with half a cup of water. simply mix all together then heat and stir until it is all blended and dissolved. Pour into molds and place in freezer for 10 mins. That's it. I have a trial one that I just left to set with out it going in the freezer and it has set well ...just took longer.
I think they turned out well and edible although I would like them just a little sweeter.

Wine glasses decorated with vinyl

These are so easy to make. The vinyl is signage vinyl. I get mine from a place where they make vinyl signs. Sometimes they even have off cuts for the asking. The off cuts are great as these take so little vinyl to make.
The shapes could be cut with the cricut but as they are small I found that using my craft punches made making these super easy.
The vinyl should last a very long time if the glasses are washed carefully.

Handmade Cards

I like to whenever possible make my own cards. They are just so expensive to buy! I also like the personal touch that a hand made card adds.
I also like to make bookmarks. So now I have a way to combine both bookmarks and cards together.
I make a separate bookmark cut and laminate it. then make the card that has a picture almost to size of the bookmark. Once the card is printed then the bookmark is attached to the card on top of the picture. (sorry if that sounds hard to follow).The receiver then is able to remove the bookmark, then use as intended.

Fresh Fruit Bridal Favor

Came across this idea and of course just had to make one up! These would be such a great idea as a favor for a bridal shower and healthy too! You can't really see it in the picture but the date is on the leaf.
Now it's a pity that I don't know anyone planning on getting married in the near future. Would love to make these for someone.

They look like cakes..but they are bath bombs!

Yummy and so easy to make. Previously when making these, they seemed to take much longer to dry. Of course I was using an enclosed mold then. These are exposed to the air, so makes sense that they would dry much quicker. These can be made and wrapped within a couple of hours. They make great quick gifts.

Baby Gifts, Etched frame and cupcakes

These are the latest gifts (projects) I have been working on. The etching on the frame is a bit hard to see- It is normally really easy, providing all goes well...but no, my cricut machine got the "I don't want to's" then I accidently got the etching cream where it wasn't supposed to get.. so had to buy a different frame. Any way God thankfully is very patient with me so together we got it done.
The cupcakes- the dark blue one is a bib and the light blue one a face washer.
