Getting Ready for Christmas

Hi everyone! This is Beth from SeaSwan's Thoughts. Can you believe, Christmas is only 82 days away?  I know, we are suppose to be making Halloween things but at my house your Christmas Wish List is due the first weekend in October.  I have all ready started making gifts for friends and dds teachers.  I am giving this cup to my mom.  She drinks a lot of Kool Aid and coffee flavored drinks. 

I used the Mixed Drinks cart. and my Gypsy to design the cuts.  They are cut at about 5 inches.  I used vinyl from printonit.com.  They put together a 20 piece sample package for about $20.00.  The mocha drink has a red base with a tan dink and white whipped topping.  The very berry Kool Aid has a white base with a red drink and strawberry, and a bright yellow straw. The lemonade has a green base, yellow drink and a red straw and umbrella.  I cut all pieces from 6inch by 12 inch vinyl.  I used 1 piece each of red,  yellow, and  green 1/2 sheet of tan and white.

It's time for you to start making your own Christmas crafts!

    You know they put my Halloween pumpkins in a Santa shopping bag yesterday at Hobby Lobby, so I and the stores think you're right on time.

    Your cups look wonderful and are a perfect gift. Great job!

    What a fun little gift idea. That would be great to put some flavored coffee in the cups or a few packs of kool aid. How pretty those are. Thanks for sharing. Great job.
