Cricut Circle Feature Week: Party Planning & Paper Crafts part 3

Tonight, we have an adorable party favor project from Katherine McElvain to share with you. Here's what Katherine had to say about her project.

My daughter Delaney recently celebrated her 8th birthday. With mostly boys coming to the party she chose a camping theme, and dirt cups with gummy worms were on the menu for dessert. With a mixture of Bella products, wood skewers, liquid glue, and the Cricut Freshly Picked cartridge, Delaney was able to help me create a fun treat for her party.

We first used the Freshly Picked cartridge in combination with the wood grain pattern on the Borders 'n Blocks paper from Bella's Tail Waggers & Cat Naps collection to make cute little garden stakes. I labeled each with a variety of Quattrofina letter stickers (From the Sophisticates collection) to make a personalized dirt cup for each party-goer.

Then we cut out the flowers on the Bella Cute Cuts paper from the Family Dynamics collection, and made additional green foliage and some cute mushrooms using the Freshly Picked Cricut cartridge. We used liquid glue to attach our paper garden pieces, as well as some Blooms a Bella and Baby Blooms a Bella to wood skewers and planted them in our treat mixture to make a mini garden in each cup.

Then we placed the cups in a old flower crate and tada... we created a Bella birthday garden treat for the whole gang!

And a great memory for the birthday girl!

We hope you have enjoyed our week long event, featuring Cricut products. The designers had a lot of fun working on all these projects, and pairing up their Bella Blvd products, with die-cutting and embossing.

Tomorrow, you will be able to find the first sneak peeks of the of the new releases, on Bella Blvd's Facebook page. Make sure and "like" us, if you're on Facebook. I'm pretty sure that there will be a few peeks here on the blog, later in the day. I think you're really going to love them! We will also be announcing the winners of our two giveaways, from Wednesday night and Friday. If you havn't entered for your chance to win, you'll want to make sure and do that.

Worms'n'dirt was always my "signature" dish, the grand finale, every year when I was the refreshments lady at VBS. These cups make it looked *extra* yummy! :D

How cute is this?! So creative - this really goes well with the party's camping theme. TFS!

My daughters used to love "dirt cake" when they were growing up. I love the updated way of presenting it! So looking forward to tomorrow!
