Graduation Candy Gram

I made these cute graduation candy gifts for a few seniors graduating this spring. They turned out really cute! I had seen graduation candy cards on Pinterest but wanted to try something a little different by including bible verses as well. First I bought five different movie-sized candies, trying to think in advance what "punny" sayings I could make with them. Then I typed up my sayings and a coordinating bible verse for encouragement and printed it on card stock. I used blue and yellow for their school colors. I wrapped each box with ribbon too for an extra touch.

Milk Duds


Nerds


Reese's Pieces


Whoppers


 Then I wrapped them up in tissue paper and placed them in a gift bag. I made some graduation gift tags with the "A Child's Year" Cricut cartridge.


So easy and affordable too!
Here is a LINK to print the labels I created and used.

Flower Pot Card

Here is a simple card that your kids can make for any occasion. We made them as Mother's Day cards but they would be great for a birthday, grandparent's day, and more!
We traced my daughter's hand on green construction paper and then cut out a flower pot shape free-hand. You could also use your Cricut to cut the flower pot shape if you have a cartridge with a flower pot cut but we were in a hurry!
We did use the Cricut to cut out the little flower shapes for the top of each finger and then my daughter finished each flower off with a fuzzy ball.
Happy Mother's Day!
