While planning a baby shower I thought it would be cute to do the Hershey Kiss stickers you see all over pinterest/etsy as part of the table decorations. You will need to create 3/4" diameter stickers for these. I believe Avery makes labels in a size that will work but I used my Silhouette Cameo and regular sticker paper to do this project. It was super simple to create images in the Silhouette program using the same graphics I used on the rest of the baby shower projects I did. I got 40 stickers per sheet. I might have been able to get more done but my printer is extremely fussy and if I take up too much of the print and cut area it will completely cut off my project during printing! I was too afraid of wasting ink and sticker paper to see just how many I could get out of there.
I am going to try and do a video tutorial soon on these since they were so cute and such a hit I'm going to make them for Landon's 5th birthday. Yes, I am THAT mother that is already planning her child's birthday when he still has 7 months until then...

Easter Basket - Sand Pail
For my son's Easter basket this year I went with something I saw on Pinterest - buckets with the child's name in vinyl. I picked a sand pail with shovel instead because we go to the lake a ton in the summer and my son was very much in need of a new pail. I think next year I'll go with a regular bucket so I can reuse it every year. Or maybe I'll just keep doing new sand pails! The best part of this project was it was my very first one in our brand new home and my awesome new craft room.
I cut the vinyl on my Silhouette cameo and just used their stock settings and brand of vinyl. I don't have any issues with their vinyl but I always have a ton of issues with their transfer paper. If anyone has a recommendation for a better transfer paper please let me know. The font I used was Impact, I wanted a nice bold font that would stand out.
We are trying to go more simple in life so his basket has goodies that he'll actually use, didn't cost a ton, and isn't 100% candy.
He is getting:
Planes Play Pack $1
Bubbles $1
Pinwheel $1.50
Shovel and Pail $1
Lego Kit $10
Pez dispenser $3
Total - $17.50
Not bad considering he (and me) love Legos right now and that was more than half the cost!
