Happy New Year!  With Christmas behind us, it is time to start thinking about Valentine’s Day!  I can’t believe it, either.  But it will be upon us soon.  I am so thankful that our youngest still loves all things sparkly and glittery….I actually think she will stay like that forever!  And since we all love a little Disney here on A Princess and Her Pirates, today I am sharing a Minnie Mouse themed project with you!  I am sure you will want to share this with the ones you love this Valentine’s Day!

Friends, I don’t know about you, but I love the sparkle.  Give me some glitter and I am a happy girl!  I am so excited to be sharing this with you today as part of the StyleTechCraft™ Design Team!  Each month, I am going to share a new project with you, in hopes of bringing some creativity and design into your home!  

Minnie Mouse Valentine Treat Cups

Materials:

StyleTech Craft Transparent Glitter Vinyl

Silhouette Cameo or alternative cutting machine

Transfer Tape

Plastic Cups with Dome Lids

Valentine’s Day Goodies

Minnie Mouse LOVE File {click on the link to find out how to get this file for your future projects!}

First, download the Minnie Mouse LOVE File into your Design Software.

Next, size it to fit your cups.  Mine is a 3×3 square.  

You will need to use the “Ungroup” function on your Silhouette Design screen.  This is one of my favorite functions of the Silhouette Design software, and I use it all the time!  Click on the file to select it.  Next, right click and choose “Ungroup”.  From here, remove the Minnie Head and the bow, and set them to the side of your screen.  

Next, load your Transparent Vinyl into your cutting machine.  I set my cut on a “2”, and it breezed right through.  You want to insert your vinyl with the color side up.

After you have cut your LVE, then you want to remove those from your design screen, to the side.  From here, add the Minnie head and send that to cut. Repeat this process for the Minnie bow as well.

From here, it is time to weed.  Oh stars!  Does this Transparent Vinyl cut AND weed like a dream!  I absolutely loved it!  Plus, it is the only glittered vinyl that is glittered on BOTH the inside and the outside! After you weed your vinyl, you want to add the transfer tape so you can place it on the cups.  

I found it very helpful to put the Minnie Bow on the Minnie Head BEFORE adding it to the cup.  It is such a small cut, and I thought it was easier to line it up on the Minnie head when I had my flat counter top to work on, as opposed to the roundness of the cup surface.

Add your “LVE” to your cup.  Gently peel the transfer tape off, and set it aside.  Next, repeat the process with the Minnie head.

Isn’t it so sparkly and fun?!  From here, you want to fill it with your favorite Valentine’s Day goodies.  My daughter’s class only allows food free treats for parties.  So, this was so fun to fill with slime, tissues, and a Valentine’s Day pen!  Stickers, stamps, bubbles, chap sticks….you can put so many cute things in these!  I can’t wait to finish these for my daughter’s class!  Only 21 more to go!
