Easter Eggs Layered Craft and More

Honestly, I don’t know where I am going to use my Easter Craft Projects, but I wanted to use my paper scraps, so I cut all these designs. At least hindi na nakatambak na papel, craft projects na lang ang nakatambak. Hehehe! I will share the link where you can purchase the file, or you can also search some of these designs on Cricut Design Space if you have a subscription.

You can personalize these tags, but I have not done it anymore since I only want to cut the designs.

Congratulations Cards

This school year is about to end, and my son is part of the "Overall Top of his batch so I am busy making cake toppers and congratulations cards. I only need 2 cards, but there are so many designs that I like to try, so I ended up making 6 cards. All these cards are from the Cricut Design Space, and you need a subscription to make these cards.

Wedding Anniversary at Samira by Chele Gonzalez

For the past three years, we had a staycation at Chateau HestiaLa Chevrerie Resort and Spa, and Nawa Wellness Resort for our wedding anniversary celebration. But this year, we don’t have the time and budget for a weekend getaway so we decided to do a food trip instead.

So last month, my husband and I searched for different restaurants that we wanted to try, some restaurants were fully booked, some restaurants naman na may promo, may days lang pwede maavail yung discounts, and some restaurants naman, namamahalan ako. Hehehe! 

I was torn between buffet lunch and course set menu; the buffet lunch is much cheaper because of the 50% credit card promo but in the end, I chose the course set menu. My husband was the one who suggested this restaurant kaso nga lang namamahalan ako but I changed my mind after reading good reviews. 


Also, my husband took a vacation leave for our wedding anniversary so sayang naman ang VL kung nasa bahay lang kami. So day before our wedding anniversary, I messaged my husband na magpareserve na sa Samira by Chele Gonzalez. 



Samira by Chele Gonzalez is Anya Resort's in-house restaurant located in Tagaytay City. It is considered a dining destination led by Gallery by Chele’s Spanish Chef Jose Luis Gonzalez. My husband already tried Gallery by Chele so I had high hopes that we would have a special meal to be remembered. 


Samira by Chele was launched in year 2022 with the goal of “We want our guests to have a journey, and experience colorful flavors inspired by many traditions around the world. Grill and fire in a modern contemporary dining experience.” 

Grill Experience at Samira by Chele Gonzalez 

On the day of our wedding anniversary, from our home, we traveled to the wellness sanctuary in less than an hour. We were the first diners but we chose the al fresco table para may view. 



Samira by Chele Gonzalez offers an a la carte menu, a Grill Experience Set Menu, and 6- Course Set Menu. We chose the Grill Experience Set Menu for PHP2,995+ per person. But we were informed that there were four viands that were not available, naubos daw kasi yung stock nila nung Valentine’s Day. Waah! Gusto ko pa naman itry yung Grilled Iberico Pork Satay Skewer. 



Anyway, this was our menu during our visit. They printed and changed the menu on our table. 


Bites 

Spanish Chorizo Takoyaki 
Chorizo Pintxos 
Bacalao Bunuelos 


Grilled Tiger Prawns 
Baked Brie with Pancetta Tesa 


Mains 

Pan Seared Citrus Salmon or Churrasco 
Grilled Chicken Paella Valenciana 





Dessert 

Cheese Ice Cream, Grilled Strawberries 


We stayed in the restaurant for about two hours and we enjoyed good food, experience and meaningful conversations. I don’t regret choosing Samira by Chele Gonzalez for our wedding celebration because it is worth the splurge, time, and drive. I appreciate the pleasure of slowly eating the food. And they also gave us a complimentary anniversary cake. 


I brought my own cake topper too. The font I used is Billion Dreams

Birthday Cake Toppers

I started this year with the goal of finishing my backlogs, but something happened last week and I lost my blogging mojo. Blogversary ko pa naman and I can’t imagine that I’ve been blogging for 14 years already. Well, I hope to overcome my fears and worries para hindi na ko mastress. 


“Worrying is like paying a debt you don’t owe” - Mark Twain 

So for now, I will just share my birthday cake topper projects. 

Happy Birthday Cake Topper - Bear 


This design is available on Cricut Design Space, easy to cut and assemble. 

I made these two cake toppers using my favorite font Birthday Verygood font. 



These two cake toppers are for Senior Citizens so I used black and gold cardstock. The font is Billion Dreams

Valentine Craft Projects

I still have a long list of Valentine Craft Projects that I want to do pero ilang araw na lang pala Valentine’s Day na so I guess, next year na lang ulit yung iba.

I’m sharing the different craft projects that I made for the past few weeks.

Valentine Bookmark Crayon Holders 

When my son was still in his toddler years, I always saw this type of craft project and this is a nice birthday giveaway or gifts for friends or classmates that won’t hurt your budget. I wanted to do this for a long time but I don’t have the machine or tools. 


Even though my son is no longer a kid, I still purchased the Valentine Bookmark Crayon Holders SVG file. Actually, I had this file for three years already, and now ko lang nagawa.


This is another Valentine Crayon Holder but I can’t remember where I got the file. 

Cute Penguin Valentine Card 


This Cute Penguin Valentine Card is from Jen Goode, I got the file from one of the summits I joined but if you have a Cricut Access Subscription, you can recreate the project. 

Valentine’s Gift Layered Card - Love 


This file is from The Bearded Housewife’s Made with Love Summit 2024. I plan to use this as a cake topper. 

Valentine Teddy Bear Heart Box 



I mentioned before that I will recreate the Valentine Teddy Bears using a different cardstock. This is better compared to my first project. I used this to decorate my Heart Box.

Valentine Truck 


The Valentine Truck is from Craft with Sarah, you can use this as a cake topper, tag or decorate your card. 

Flower Pot Valentine Card 


The truck layered craft collection is already over and Craft with Sarah has started her new collection. And so far, she has two flower pot designs but I only cut the Flower Pot Valentine Card and used it to decorate my Valentine's Card. 

Butterflies and Flowers Card


I made this Butterflies and Flowers Card last year but I think I can also use this as a Valentine's Card or Anniversary Card.

Will You Be My Player 2? 

This Gamer Card was my entry for Bee Happy Weeklies Week 46: Pixel. I made this last year but I can also use this for Valentine’s Card. 



I printed the design, attached it to the cardstock, and glued my Layered Male and Female Gamer Gnomes. The Gamer Gnomes are from Craft with Sarah.

Cupid 


This cupid is designed by Craft with Sarah.

3D Valentine Gnomes


I had a hard time cutting the dress of the 3D Valentine Gnomes but I didn’t want to waste more paper so I still assembled them even though the cut was not perfect.

Valentine Layered Card

When I had my Cricut Maker, my family stopped buying cards, so if they needed one, they could just get it from my stash. Kahit na ako pa yung bibigyan nila ng card, ang importante naman yung message na isusulat so I don’t mind receiving my own homemade cards. February is also our wedding anniversary month, so I made a lot of cards for more options.

All of Me Loves All of You Tent Card 

The All of Me Loves All of You Tent Card is from My 3D SVG site, this is a shadow box but I used it for a tent card to display on my computer table. 


The following four cards are designed by Craft with Sarah. I uploaded all the SVG files on Cricut Design Space, changed a few colors, and cut.
