My Cricut Craft Room's Christmas in July Blog Hop



Welcome to My Cricut Craft Room's Christmas in July Blog Hop

You should have come from Jen's Blog If not please go to My Cricut Craft Room to start from the beginning

I love Christmas and everything about it. It is my favorite time of year. As I began to work on this project I was trying to think of how I could incorporate the Christmas scriptures this year. Last year I made the girls Bible Study notebooks to work on each afternoon. This year I wanted us to be able to read the scriptures together. This project is what I came up with. This will be the centerpiece on our kitchen table and I am going to write scripture references on the white part of the cupcakes. During family time we will pull out a cupcake and read the scripture together. Thanks for looking. I hope you enjoy my project.
This is the front of my centerpiece.
This is the side view.

How I made it:
Materials: Plastic Popcorn bucket(from Dollar tree), acrylic paint, cardstock (I used papers from Hobby Lobby) gold cardstock (from Creative Memories), adhesive (I used my small X sticker maker by xryon and a zig pen), cotton filler, bamboo skewers

I started by painted a plastic popcorn bucket green. I attached the cupcakes to skewers and used cotton filler to look like snow inside the bucket and make the skewers stand up.

The Cricut Cuts:
Cupcakes: all pieces cut Hello Kitty Greetings pg 41 - Cupcake - 4 inches
Taste & See...: Hannah Montana 1 inch
Reindeer: Create A Critter 4 inches
Lights: Create a Critter 2 1/2 inches
Layer 1- blue
Layer 2- yellow
Layer 3- red

I love your project for more than one reason but keeping the Lord in Christmas is at the top of the list...:O) How clever that you used cupcake/scripture die-cuts to the scripture 'taste and see that the Lord is good' ~ wonderful! You did such a wonderful job creating this.
