ScanNCut: Mickey Mouse Cupcake Card

Today is a VERY exciting day – Brother ScanNCut has new batches of Disney cut files! As I always disclose to you, I’m a brand ambassador for the ScanNCut (aka I am a paid consultant, but all ideas & opinions are my own!) – So I was really excited when these hit my inbox because as I knew (but hadn’t yet shared…) there are cupcake designs!

This might not be exciting to you – but to me this is over the moon awesome.   I have a SERIES of ideas for these cupcakes! But first… a gift card holder! It’s simple enough, you’ll want to have 4 1/4 x 12 (or any size paper you like) folded so that you have an approximate 1 1/2″ fold for a gift card (see video).

Then layer on whatever you like! I stamped a sentiment, added a doily, some thread, and sequins too.  a

The real fun though is deciding what colors and materials to cut out the cupcake pattern from. This one is all paper – next time felt is going in the mix for a custom patch for a travel project. Stay tuned! For more details and how-to here is my YouTube video.

Perhaps it’s my healthy eating habits that have me craving paper (calorie free) sweets – but I’ve got ideas from pastel colors to wild patterns and I’m getting to work! Stay tuned…

Note: the Disney cut files are available from Brother dealers.

“Up to no good” Shaker Shadow Box with the ScanNCut

I was in the craft store and I saw a lot of shadow boxes like the one you see above. They had pre-printed sentiments and were fairly common and bland. I thought to myself… if I could find a plain one I could use craft vinyl to rock something extra fun!

usual disclaimer that I am a paid consultant for Brother, however all ideas and opinions expressed are as always – my own. 

When I got home with my plain shadow box I went looking for a photo of my eldest daughter to display. Before I knew it I found a photo of her from our vacation last December that was perfect in color, size, and style for something extra fun!

Decor pumpkin with ScanNCut

We saw these painted textured pumpkins for a LOT of money at the store and thought… we can do our own! Then Rebecca saw this teal pumpkin and went nuts. Got to have it! It was on clearance, and everything else I already had – so this is a very budget friendly addition to our fall décor. The key to projects like this for me – and the reason I love this tool – is the ScanNCut. When I get whacky ideas like this – I know it is totally doable and I will be able to work with my supplies on hand. Continue reading “Decor pumpkin with ScanNCut”
