I decided to create a lighted  gift box for Celeste’s Birthday Hop!

I am so fortunate that SVGcuts has such wonderful products. I saw their latest offering the “Love me Do” svg kit and I actually scrubbed my original project. I saw such great opportunities for creating more with Mary’s great insight. I took her candy box and made it my own “Birthday Cupcake Gift Box” it also doubles as a luminary after it has been emptied.

Mary’s design had a heart cut out on the front of the box. I decided to take it a step further and use a cupcake instead. It was a very simple task to add this cute svg and join them together. I put a sheet of opaque fabric inside so that you could put a light in the box and it would flick through like a candle was lit inside. I also applied a tag with a welded Happy Birthday svg from Miss Vickie’s.

I used baker’s twin to make the lucious icing on Celeste's cupcake. Don’t worry it is calorie free!

This was cut with my Craftwell’s eCraft cutting system.

I also designed a wall hanging to watch over your Birthday Dreams!

These cute fabric characters were cut out on the eCraft cutting system using clip art. Ifsand then the Sun got his sweet face from Peach Keen Stamps. I know that they will watch over
Celeste!

Lastly I also decorated something for Celeste’s smaller friends.

I love how easily fabric can be cut with my cutter. I decorated this onsie with beautiful blossoms which snap off for washing or you could leave them on. I love playing with my machine,and I thank Celeste for all of the tips and techniques that you have shared with me.

One more time Happy Birthday to you!!!
