Fireball Cups

Hello all you crafty people!

Today I'm showing you a couple little gifts I gave

my girls for Christmas.

They have a resin business and sell at craft shows.

One day I was shopping with Jaryd and he found these little cups. 

They are bigger than a shot glass, but smaller than a 

regular cup.  They hold 3 oz.

They happened to have purple and teal, which are the 

Clumsy Cloud Gifts signature colors.

I picked them up for the girls so I could customize them.

On one side I put their logo.

On the other side I put the logo for 
Fireball.

Neither of them are big drinkers,

but it is their custom to have a shot of 
Fireball once they are home from a craft show.

These little cups will be perfect for that.

They loved them and they were easy to

customize with vinyl that I 

cut with my Silhouette Cameo.

Thanks for stopping in today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way.

Come again soon,

you never know what you'll find on 
Kristie Kreates!

 

Shot Glasses

Hi everyone!

I hope you're having a wonderful day.

Today I want to show you some etched shot

glasses that I gave my future son in law for Christmas.

He has a shot glass collection and loves the

Marvel characters.

I started by asking my local Buy Nothing Group if anyone

had clear shot glasses they no longer wanted.

(I've linked to the Buy Nothing Project site so you can

learn more about this and see if there is a group in

your area)

I got response from a couple people.  I only needed one

at the time, but it turned into a bigger project.
These weren't all what I was expecting, but I think they

will work out for a later project.
I did use the green one for this gift.

I also received these 6 glasses from another member.

They were perfect for what I was planning.

Using my Silhouette Cameo I cut stencils with 

vinyl, then applied the stencils to the glasses.

This one is the Captain America logo.

On the other side of the glass,

I etched the character's name.

Once the vinyl stencil was applied

I used Armour Etch etching cream.

It's simple to use, just follow the instructions

on the jar.

Here is the Avengers Logo.

And their name.  Sorry these pictures aren't

great, it's very difficult getting photographs of

etching on glass and the size of the names 

makes it difficult, but you get the idea.

Hulk is Brad's favorite character and the

green shot glass was perfect for that character.

These 2 pictures show the HULK 

that is etched on the back of the glass.

Brad was thrilled with this little gift,

even more so because I made them for him.

I'm glad you stopped by today, I hope you are too. 

 Come again soon,

until then,

give something new a try and

check on a Buy Nothing Group

in your area.  I highly recommend 

being involved in one of these groups.

D&D Bag

Good day!

My son, Jaryd, is into Dungeons and Dragons

and plays with his group of friends on a regular

basis. For Christmas my daughter, Kelsie, got him

some D&D items.  She wanted to have a storage bag 

to put all the items into for him to keep them together.

I, being the saver that I am, have many canvas bags of the

type she wanted.  I had several sizes, luckily, the blue one 

was just the right size and what she needed.

I hope no one is offended by the language on this bag,

but this was the order that I received from her.

I designed it in my Silhouette Studio Designer Edition

software and cut it from silver heat transfer vinyl 

with my Silhouette Cameo.

I used a Harry Potter font, as this has a D&D kind of feel to it.

I applied the vinyl to the bag with my heat press

and it was done.
Kelsie and Jaryd were both thrilled with how it turned

out.  I'm sure he'll be using it for years to come.

Thanks for stopping by today,

I hope you have learned something and/or somehow

been inspired.

Come again soon,

until then,

play a fun game.

Etched Glasses

Welcome to Kristie Kreates!
My daughter, Kelsie, daughter in law, Sara, and I
recently went to a shower and decided to go in 
together on the gifts.  We purchased a nice gift from the
their registry, but wanted to give them something 
a little special and handmade.
We decided to etch some glasses.
It's really quite an easy process.

We used Armour Etch which can be found at 
most craft stores and online.
It's simple to use, just cut out a stencil,
put it on your glass piece then cover the area that you 
want etched with the cream.  Wait for it to do it's work
and rinse with water.
Be aware that when the glass is still wet it might look like
it hasn't done anything, dry it off and then take a look, 
you'll see the etching then and when you take that stencil off
it's like magic. Also note there are some glass items
that this cream doesn't work on.  The label will
give you more information on this.
For our stencils, I designed and cut on my 
Silhouette Cameo and used vinyl which is easy to
remove.

We etched 2 on the rocks glasses with 
Minnie & Mickey.

Kissing Minnie and Mickey on one side.

On the other sides we etched the Mr & Mrs and a variety
of Minnie and Mickey images.  Each side was a little different.

We also did a set of 4 tumblers.
One with Mickey on the front.

One with Minnie on the front.

and both had the Disney castle on the back.





It's hard to see in this picture as it is very difficult
to photograph the etching,  but I think Jaryd did a
pretty good job. When you look at the Mickey or Minnie
you can see through to the castle in the back.

We also did 2 glasses using images from Up,
which is the brides favorite Disney movie.
Here we have Carl's nose and glasses.

And we also did Ellie's aviator hat and goggles.

On the back of the glasses we did the 
house with balloons.
We all love how these glasses turned out.
Kelsey Ann, the bride, loved them too.

Thanks for stopping by to see what I've been
creating lately.
Have you ever tried etching?
I hope you will give it a try, it's fun, it's easy
and you can create very unique thing,
the sky's the limit.
Come again soon and I'll show you what else
we made for Kelsey Ann.
Until then,
create something unique.

The Office Beer Glasses

Hi all!

Are you a fan of The Office?

I'm not, but my son is.

He had mentioned that he needed some 

beer glasses for when his friends came over, so 

I bought him some for Christmas.

I wanted to do something different with them,

not just give him plain glasses.

Sara suggested something from The Office.

I found images online that I could cut with 

my Silhouette Cameo and made stencils from 

vinyl.  I then used Armour Etch etching cream

to etch them.

I have to apologize for the poor pictures,

I had a heck of a time getting pictures of 

the etching on the glasses.

I'm sorry, I don't even know this character's name,

but if you are a fan, you'll probably know,

"That's what she said" 

Is right next to him on the glass.

This was the hardest to photograph,

it says Schrute Farms.

These 3 are all together on one glass

Bears..................

Beets..................

Battlestar Galactica

And of course
Dunder Mifflin Inc

paper company.

I had fun making these up for Jaryd,

even though I don't get the meaning of them

all.  LOL  I knew he would get the meaning

and that's the important thing.

I hope you enjoyed your visit,

maybe you're inspired to give etching

a try.  It's really quite easy,

here's a video showing how to 

etch on glass.

Hope I'll see you again soon.

Until then,

give etching a try.

Cookies for Santa

Merry Christmas!

I hope y'all are having a wonderful Christmas.

Today I'm showing you the plate I made for my

granddaughter.  Every child needs a 

"Cookies for Santa" plate.

I cut the vinyl with my Silhouette Cameo and 

adhered it to the back of the plate.

I know the words aren't centered, next time

I'll put the words on then put the center cut out on.

The plate will work just as well this way though.

I love the little cookies that I made for the

'o's' in cookies.
I think this turned out really cute and I know

she will be able to use it for years to come.

Thanks for visiting,

do come again.

Until then.

enjoy the holiday season.

 

Marie on the Wall

It's been a long time since I posted anything

here, sorry about that!

A lot has been going on and I also found that

my pictures were not showing up for y'all.

Hopefully, I have that problem solved now.

As many of you know, I'm going to be a 

Grandma in November.

Marie's room is going to be a combination theme

of Harry Potter, Marie from Aristocats and Disney.

Sara, my daughter in law and I got together to 

work on the nursery one day and got most of the

one wall done.

I used my Silhouette Designer Edition software

and my Silhouette Cameo

to create a large "Marie" for the wall with 

removable vinyl.

It had to be cut in a few pieces.

Each piece was then put onto transfer tape.

I made sure it was adhering to the 

transfer tape.

Then it was put on the wall.

And the transfer tape was removed, 

leaving the vinyl design behind.

First piece done.

Second piece lined up and added.

Once Marie was on the wall, I added

her Harry Potter scar and glasses.

TaDa!  Sara is so happy with how she turned out!

Sara and I also cut Harry and Disney themed characters

and "symbols" with my Silhouette and her Cricut.

Here is the wall, almost done.  Jaryd added a couple more

pieces to the wall when he got home.
I don't have pictures of the whole room for this post,

but it's just about done now, with 

twinkle lights and her furniture.

We are all thrilled with how the wall and the whole

room has turned out.

Thanks for visiting today,

I hope you've been inspired in some way.

Until next time, give something new a try,

maybe a giant cut out!

Etched Wine glasses

Hello crafty people!

For Jaryd and Sara's wedding, there were

a bunch of crafty things that I helped with.

One of those things were some glasses that were

given to people at the rehearsal.
Sara's Mom was doing the etching,

but needed the stencils cut and I could do that.

So they told me what they needed and I created

and cut them with my Silhouette from vinyl.

Most of the wedding party got 

Buffalo Bills glasses.

This is what the stencil was like.

Yvonne would put the stencil on the glass,

then use etching cream to etch the image.

Once it was etched, she could rinse off the

etching cream and remove the vinyl stencil.

Here is one of the Bills glasses done.

Sara's sister is a chef, so she received 

this one with "skull chef" and the other was

for her boyfriend  In this case they left 

some of the vinyl on as a design element.

This is the design for my husband's glass.

He is a huge Trekkie.

And mine was this Scrap Queen glass.

There were a few others, but they were all done 

the day before the rehearsal, 

so I didn't see them before and

I didn't get pictures of them.

Sorry these last 2 pictures aren't very good,

but at least you can get the idea. 

Sara sent me the pictures of the others

and I think she did a beautiful job.

Thanks for coming by and spending time

at Kristie Kreates today.

I hope you'll come again soon.
I'll be posting more wedding fun and

scrapbook pages for their book soon.

Until then,

maybe you can give etching a try.
