Just an ordinary Cake Taker...I know! (from the dreaded WM)

Well, we are in the midst of BABY-AND-WEDDING-SHOWER-ME-TO-DEATH mode, and remember me...I don't have a job! But, I do love all of these people, and I don't want to do "nothing" for them, but I can't break the bank....so I thought I would put all of my craft-hoarding to good use!

So, out came the Slice...yes, the Making Memories Slice...and the vinyl! For this particular project, I used Black and White...and the new Sock Hop Design Card...yummy! I love cute fonts!

So, I gathered all of my supplies and got busy. First, I chose the letter...of the young brides new Last Name! Yeah! I remember how excited I was when I was FINALLY Mrs. Smith!


Then, after I cut the "M", I cut out some circles, 2 inch, 2 1/2 inch, and 3 inch, in both colors. And, started applying!


Oh, I love how this turned out! All of this for only $6! And you can bet...this will NOT be the last one I make!!

What I used:

• Foam Heart Wreath
• Straight Pins
• Red Felt (approx. 1/3 yd)
• Scissors
• Something to use as a template (coffee cup!)

Oh, I just knew when I saw it that I had to make one of these!

I saw it in the square version, but I had to have it in a heart shape. I have since seen them online, but here's mine!


I started with red felt.....um, I bought a yard (totally not necessary!) but 1/3 would have been plenty!

Then, I used a coffee cup, about 3 1/4 inches, to make my circle template. I traced it with a sharpie, and you may not like to see the sharpie trace on your circles, but I like how it turned out.

I cut them out, probably 60 or so.

Then, here's how to make the fold. Fold the circle in half. Then in half again (I used a really good looking model to help me with this one!)


Then, using straight pins, I stuck them through the fold, and then into the heart wreath form.

Covered it up, filled in the gaps, and tada!!!

Here's my good looking model showing off the finished product.
