Love Birds Gift Bucket

I saw this bucket at Target, and wanted to make something Valentines-ey (is that a word??) with it.

I got this bucket at Target in their $1 bin for $2.50.
LOVE Target $1 bin!

Used my Silhouette Machine to cut out the vinyl

Tore a few strips of material
that I had from Christmas

And, found this filler shred at
Target as well for .99 cents

Here is the finished product:

A cute basket that can be used in so many ways

-You could take out the filler and put your Valentine's candy in it

-You could put a Valentine's Day gift in the bucket underneath the filler

-It can be just used as a cute decoration  

-Display it next to a few cute chunky wooden hearts, as a table centerpiece or, lay the hearts on top of the filler in the bucket

 (Kind of the same idea as easter eggs) 

Please let me know what you think

and.....share the love!

Thanks!

A Cute & Easy Idea for Giving Gift Cards

We gave a bunch of gift cards this Christmas,

This is how we gave them.  It's not fancy, but, it's 

a simple and cute idea.  I just used my Silhouette Machine

to cut out the tags and write the names on them.

(Did you know that the Silhouette Machine

 not only cuts, but can draw as well?)  


I then inked the edges a little, 
then just punched a hole in the gift cards and used 
some material I had and a piece of brown string to tie the tags on.  
So easy, but at the same time, it looks really cute.  LOVE it!
