Exceptional Teacher Tumblers

I have been working on these the past few days.  I meant to have them done to hand out on  Friday but you know how it goes.  If I had to venture a guess I would say that they are still going to be appreciated!  I have one for each of my son's awesome team, including his speech therapist and occupational therapist.  This was the first time I used my Cameo to cut from Make The Cut and I am happy to report that it really was as easy as downloading the pluggin. I used Make The Cut for the teacher's names because I wanted to use the conical wrap feature.  It re-sizes text to fit around a circular, or conical object, like these tumblers.  It is such a wonderful feature.  I hope that someone from Silhouette is paying attention!  The school related images are from the Silhouette store and the Cricut Cartridge Locker Talk.  It does feel pretty good to be using my Cricut again here and there.  And I am more than happy that my new gypsy is home and functioning according to specs.  Okay, here they are!

Wrapped up in gift bags and ready to go!

I am very proud of this project for a few reasons.  First, these babies take a long time and I managed to get them done within two days.  Secondly, everything you see (save the gift card) was in my stash!  Even the gift bags.  The tumblers are leftovers from a tumbler share I participated in last year, the vinyl is from Nick @ cricutvinyl.com, and the paper is also from my stash.  I didn't have to buy a thing and usually for a project like that I find myself picking something up.  So go me!  I feel a smidgen less guilty about all of those purchases last year!

Tumbler Info

I have had several people ask me where I purchased the tumblers for Wesley's birthday party.  I actually purchased mine through a tumbler share put together on my favorite craft board Smartbuygal.  The woman who put our share together ordered the tumblers from Silkletter.  This is a company that specializes in promotional items for businesses.  They have been very good to the crafting community as the tumbling craze has emerged.  I believe the cost is around $3.99 for 30 and under and the more you order, the lower the price per item.  They also have a bunch of different colors to choose from so if you have a moment and have time - check them out!

Birthday Party Tumblers

Hey everyone,  I am so exhausted!  My son's birthday party was today and it was a complete success.  Everyone had a great time, but I am one tired mama!  I wanted to share with you the gifts I made all of the kids.  Instead of the traditional favor bag I opted to decorate tumblers for each of the kids.  They were a big hit!

This is the cup I made for my son.  This was a Tigger party afterall . . .

Here are a few close up of some of the other tumblers.

I had more than a few moms inquire where I purchased the tumblers from.  I actually got them through a tumbler share on the My Smart BuyGal forum.  I am exhausted tonight (for good reason) but I am going to track down the name and contact number of the company we used.  I hope you all have had a great start to your summer!
