Mickey Mouse Jumbo Figures

Project : Mickey Mouse jumbo figures that can be adhered on a wall at the venue.

To be honest I had my Cricut Expressions since January 2009 and it was only 2x that I tried it only for few minutes. The bug was too much for me to explore that time but with my nephew's 1st birthday, I had no choice but to use it since he has a Mickey Mouse Party Theme.

Bhoy of bhoy! I surely had a blast!!!!!! I would say my machine is my lover in disguise hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Every touch and every cut is awesome or shoud I say magical hehehehehehe.

Since Ryan really likes Mickey Mouse, I chose to cut all the Mickey Figures I find cute plus extras at Mickey and Friends Cricut Cartrdige. I maximized the 12 x 12 cardstocks so it will turn out big =)

Here are the cuts I made:

Mickey Mouse Coloring Books

Project : Part of birthday give-a-ways will be a 4 x 6 Mickey Coloring Book

A birthday party will always have give-a-ways and loot bags especially kiddie parties. With all the black and white that can be found at internet for free, I had a hard time chossing which ones to grab. Luckily, a fellow crafter, Claire and Gomitras, gave me lots of B n W photos of Mickey in action. All I had to do was select the best and the cutest with the help of my 6 year old son.

I printed the best 8 in 30 pcs then created a simple cover. My DSIL will look for crayons in small packs that will be added in the loot bag. After printing, I binded each using the normal office binder by Peach. I had not much bind-it-all ring binder but had tons of office ring binder.

Hopefully, guests will have a quiet moment while all the kids are busy coloring Mickey =)

Mickey Mouse Guestbook

Project: A handmade book where guests can write their hopes and wishes for my nephew Ryan

Mickey Mouse Cupcake Toppers

Project: Toppers for the cupcakes

One of my phone conversations with my DSIL, she mentioned that she might order cupcakes aside from the Mickey Mouse birthday cake. I told her that if she will order I will definitely make toppers. Oh how she immediately said YES =D

I bought Sizzix Mickey Mouse Die & Emboss folder and created colorful cupcake toppers. I decided to use swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder, too, since Mickey is known for polka dots due to Minnie Mouse.

Mickey Mouse Buffet Table Mini Accent

Project : Mickey Mouse Mini Birthday Hats as Buffet Table Accent

I was actually planning to create a birthday hat but it turned out that my printer can only hold A4 size as maximum :( I found the template at .... geez!, can't find it anymore :( Will try to find it later instead.

Instead of throwing out the printed hats in the size of 5 x 7 inches, I decided to add stickles and assemble each. I believe it would add pizzazz at the buffet table.
