Etched Wine Glass Set

One thing I've learned ... I'm not very good at photographing shiny things! I apologize for the poor quality of these pictures. Anyway, this is a wedding gift my daughter and I made. On my Gypsy, we created a monogram using the Songbird (for the D) and Jasmine (for the Ms) Cricut cartridges. We cut it out of vinyl and then used it to etch a wine bottle, four wine glasses and a platter.

Here's everything arranged in a basket ... we added lots of ribbon and silk fall leaves and berries.

A couple of close-ups:

For the tag on the bottle, I printed the sentiment on vellum and then cut it using the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge. I cut a second tag from a cream colored cardstock, layered it under the vellum tag and tied on the bottle with twine.

To finish, we attached a gift card made using paper from the DCWV 'Amber Autumn' stack. I added a little ribbon and a charm. The sentiment, stamped using brown ink,  is  from My Pink Stampers 'Friends and Family' set.

Here's a look at the inside:

Really, she is a good friend!!

My Take on the Easter Treat Pails

Here's a look at some quick Easter Treat pails I put together this afternoon. I found these little pails on sale at Michael's last fall and have be waiting for the perfect project to use them. I filled them with some candy and Easter 'grass', then added the little flowers ... the flowers are from Songbird and the leaves are from Accent Essentials. Quick, cute and fun!!
