Mickey Mouse Cake Pops

As promised, I have for you the Mickey Mouse Cake Pops. I did these for favors, mainly for the adults. I mean, I have to thank them in some way for sacrificing themselves and coming to Chuck E. Cheese. Really, have you ever been to Chuck E. Cheese for a birthday party? Yeah..... that's why. I decided that Mickey was a Chocolate kind of guy. So I baked a normal chocolate cake and broke it up into pieces in a container. Next, I added the Creamy Chocolate Frosting (in a can) and ... Used a fork to mix it all together. Now at this point, you can start making the balls by hand, BUT I found this really useful ball maker (I am laughing silly right now) on eBay. And the proceeds went to a good cause. Anyway, I digress, I made 48 balls this way. I then Melted the Candy Melts in the Chocolate Maker and Added some black candy color to make it darker. Once it was melted, I put some of the chocolate on the stick and inserted the stick into the cake ba

Reuse and Recycle!

So last night I was looking at some Marketing material on the VistaPrint website. As I was checking out, these additional things I might be "interested" in kept coming up before actually getting to the checkout. It was annoing, until.... I saw the Business Card Bulletin Board Holders. $7.99 for 4!!! WHAT!!!???? Are you kidding me! They looked like a piece of cardboard with a pocket. I went, pshhh, I could do that.... And then, I COULD DO THAT! So, I didn't even finish my checkout, now that I think about it, and I came directly to my craftroom to see what I could come up with. *mumble*$7.99*mumble*I'll show them*mumble* I have a stack of Mailing envelopes Jamberry sends our product in. But any Heavy Cardstock will do. Next, I cut allong the white line of the Envelope. If you are doing it with cardstock, the measurements are 8inches tall, 4 inches accross. I then scored it horizontally at the 1.5, 2.0, and 3.5 inches Flip it and Sco

Fresh as a Gerbera Daisy

EDIT: I HAD TO TAKE DOWN THE TUTORIALS SINCE THEY WERE BEING DISTRIBUTED WITHOUT MY CONSENT, FOR PROFIT. I MAY COMPILE THEM LATER TO BE A PDF FILE FOR DOWNLOAD. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING. As promised, here is the tutorial for the Gerbera Daisies. I was going to do normal Daisies, but I just wanted to add some color to them, so I modified them a bit to accomodate my taste. As always, feel free to do them to your own liking. If you want normal daisies, just omit the inking stage. I started out by cutting the daisy design on the Art Philosophy cartridge on my Cricut. I tried looking for one on the Flower Shoppe cartridge, but it just didn't have enough petals for the look I wanted. If you don't have AP cartridge, and have Flower Shoppe, you can still use it. You just have to layer more of them on. Next, I used Scattered Straw Disstressing Ink to blot the flower. As you can see, I like using makeup sponges better than the daubers. Personal prefer
