Butterflies & Roses

Hi again, I had gotten some of the glitter card stock from Walmart and hadn't done anything with it yet so one day I decided to play with it a bit and I have been so pleased with it! Here are a couple of items I've made with the glitter card stock using my Cricut Expression and the Indie Art cartridge.

Etched Sweet 16 Vase


Hi there! I was asked by my department manager to create an etched glass piece for her daughter who was turning 16. She loves etched glass & pink. I added the hearts because it just seemed fitting.

Best Mom Ever

This is a vase that a co-worker had me create for her mom's birthday. All of us were very pleased with it. I have so much fun creating. :) I cut my stencils on my Cricut Expression using white contact paper. Once I have my stencils positioned where I want them on the glass I tape it down using painters tape making very sure there are no gaps anywhere to prevent the etching chemical from seeping where it's not wanted. I leave it on for the time stated on the container then rinse it off under cold water. I then remove the stencil and wash in soapy water. Then decorate it.

Birthday Butterflies Glass Etched Vase

Hi everyone, this is a birthday gift I created for a co-worker as a gift for a friend of hers. She was very happy with it as was the recipient. Please forgive the photo. It's not very clear.

Wedding Remembrance Vase

My husband had a co-worker that was getting married and we wanted to give him and his bride something unique that we wouldn't have to worry about being duplicated. I decided to make them an etched glass piece and my husband loved it as well as the bride, groom, and many of the guests. It is so rewarding to bring a smile to someone's face! :)

Birthday Dream Vase & Precious Treasure Card


Hi again, this is an etched glass gift I was asked to create by a co-worker. Her mother in law's birthday was coming up and she wanted something special. I was asked to make a card also. I had such fun creating these! :) The sentiment was cut using my Cricut Expression and the Graphically Speaking cartridge.

Etched Wedding Bowl

I found this beautiful bowl about the same time a friend's daughter was getting married. I wanted something special for the bride so I etched Family on one side and Faith on the other. I was so glad the bride and groom liked it :)
