Quick Post: Gift for Co-Worker

Hi! I have been soo busy with school work that I haven't had time to craft lately.  Taking 3 higher level math classes doesn't leave me much time to craft.  But I had a co-worker who was leaving for a new job and I wanted to make her a little gift.  I made her this card, using one of Wanda's Cards.
 

I also made her a couple of etched champagne glasses with her last name initial in it. It was kinda of hard to get a good picture.

I also made two boxes for the glasses but forgot to take pictures before I gave it to her.

Here are the files for the boxes.  It is big enough to hold a 19inch tall champagne glass.
** You need to cut the box side twice to complete the box***

Please let me know if there are any issues that I need to fix with the box.   I might try and make one and take a picture to show you how it looks.

Superman Glass

Here is the glass I created for my future brother-in-law.  It was so easy to do using MTC and some vinyl.

Wedding Food Tasting

 I made some glass to give as gifts this weekend.  I made 3 with the word beer in different languages. I found the words on this site .  All the recipients loved their glass. I also did some more craft but will post about them later.  Now for the real reason I am posting.... FOOD TASTING!!!

This weekend we had our food tasting with our caterer. Since our wedding is over a year away, we wanted to get our caterer locked in.  It was the best experience ever and the six of us enjoyed it.  There was a lot of eating, drinking, laughing and choosing the menu for the wedding.

Gift Boxes for Glasses

On Wednesday, I came home to see my new machine had been delivered.  Unfortunately, I didn't have time until Sunday to play with it.

I needed to some how create some gift boxes for the etch glass gift that I created.   Since I now have a cricut that can cut up to 12x24, I began to play around on MTC.


Here are the two boxes I created:

4 wine glasses, a cricut and some cats....

I have become a little addicted to glass etching.   My FMIL (future mother in law) loved the glass etching wine and champagne glasses that I had done.  She wanted 4 wine glass with her cats' names on them.  I had to decide on which kind of font to use. I have alot of fonts and couldn't chose, so I had Eric make the final choice of font.

I etched the four cat names on 4 different wine glasses and set them aside until she came to visit. 

 

Cricut and Glass Etching

Lately,  I have been trying to see what sort of cool things I could do on my own rather than pay alot for it.  So my my birthday last year I asked for a Cricut machine, (click here) from Eric. I haven't been able to play with it to much but have had time to research cool projects to do.  

The first thing I am attempting is Glass-Etching.  When I first read about it I thought that I wouldn't be able to do it because it was difficult and time consuming. Boy was I wrong.  I researched on many different blogs about making your own stencils and using etching cream to create glass etching. 



So on Saturday after a long day at a swim meet, I decided to try my hand at some glass etching.  OMG..... It was so easy and I love the way the items came out.  Of course on the first try I had some not so clean outer edges but with practice I will get better. Below are pictures of some of the items that I used a Cricut stencil on to create the glass etching.
