My sister-in-law got a rockin' ice cream maker for Christmas. So when her birthday rolled around last week, I knew just what to make for her: a homemade ice cream kit!
First I designed some super cute labels with my Silhouette machine (seriously, one of my favorite things ever). The labels are printed on full-page office labels. Of course, you don't need a fancy machine to cut them out, but now that I don't have to do it by hand I can add fun details like a scalloped edge with no extra work. Love that.
The white, pint-sized ice cream cartons are found at Smart & Final. The cartons and lids each come in sleeves of 25.
Then I added some delicious mix-ins from Trader Joe's. You already know about my addiction to the mini peanut butter cups, but now the Dark Chocolate Tahitian Vanilla Caramels are climbing the list. Is that not the most scrumptious sounding treat you've ever heard of? Hoo, boy.
Here is a printable label if you'd like to join the ice-cream party. Save the image and drop it into a word document to re-size and print as many times as you'd like. Personal use only, please! Email me if you want a copy of the file to print and cut from your Silhouette: homemadebyjill@gmail.com.
If you are looking for pint-sized ice cream containers online, check out Sweet Bliss Containers (disposable), or Zak Designs Ice Cream Tubs (reusable).

So glad you're back Jill! I have checked your blog several times a day for weeks just hoping you would have something fun to share. So welcome back! I hope you enjoyed your holiday!
Wow, seriously cute. Love this gift idea. Welcome back!
Great Idea~ Love It!! :)
Thank goodness you are back! I check your blog out daily and was so sad to see for a month you hadn't given us new things to check out! Thanks for the super cute idea as well!
Awesome! How can I get it so I can print it out on my silhouette? Is that possible?
I'm so glad you are back! I was starting to get worried at how often I checking in to see if you had posted.
What a cute idea, I love it! I may have to do this for my mom!
I had comment because that gift is adorable, and it's great to have you back! Hope your Christmas was great!
So glad you're back! Looking forward to more inspiration from you in the new year! Glad you were able to spend time with your family.
For cuteness!!! I LOVE this!
These are too cute!
Well it's about time! We missed you!
What a SUPER fun idea! Love it!

Super Cute idea!! I have missed reading your blog...I am hoping to see tons more cute girly things cause I just found out I am having twin girls!!!
Thanks, everyone!
Rachel, email me and I'll send you my Silhouette file to print and cut.
So happy you're back...what an absolutely clever idea...if I knew anyone who made homemade ice cream I'd be tempted to do this for them!
I just randomly found your blog awhile ago. I love your ideas. Glad you are back and glad you took some time for family!
I have you listed as a favorite on my blog. Here is my blog if you are ever interested:

Enjoy!
I have missed you so much (which is weird to say to a person I've never met, I know, I know...) and I am SO glad you're back--with a great idea, no less!
I am definitely going to have to duplicate this since I have a few friends who, like me, occasionally make ice cream.
Oh so glad you're back!
Oh, and I failed to mention I like the new pink makeover on the blog--it's making me feel "spring"y!
Jill, this ice cream kit is so perfect! It makes me want summer to get here very quickly!!
I just posted about my quiet book! you inspired a few of my pages! I love your creative work! Thank you!

Yes, I did miss you. Glad you're back. Cute labels, I'd love to see more of your Silhouette projects. I bought one in November but haven't had time to play much.
I just love it !!!
Kiss from EnolyCrafts, Dyanna
Glad you're back!
now that is a great idea! Very cute!
Another great idea!
And yes, you were very missed:)
I bought a silhouette machine after seeing all of the cute projects you made. Is there any type of tutorial out there for making the homemade labels like you did for the ice cream? I haven't figured out how to do this and can't find any directions other than the basic directions that came with the machine.
I was standing at the check out counter at TJ's and I saw the Dark Chocolate Tahitian Vanilla Caramels that I've been able to pass up many times before, but Jill from Homemade by Jill recommended them, so I couldn't pass them up today.
I'm not sure if I love you or hate you for sharing this delicious tip. Thank goodness I'm pregnant so I have to gain weight!
Love all your creations and recommendations!!
Dina - I haven't seen a tutorial on how to put together graphics on the Silhouette, but that is something I'd be happy to do. I'll try to work up something cute with a tutorial.
Liz - oops, sorry. :)
What a fun, fun present! I love bits and pieces presents...little bits that make up something fun. Nice one!
That silhouette does some many things. I can't wait to get my hands on one. Your SIL is very lucky. What a beautiful gift to give.
Would love the SIL print and cut file! How can I get it?

Thanks!
I would love to give a similar gift to my Dad (who is a little obsessed with his ice cream maker!) Do you know where I could find similar pint sized cartons online maybe???
I have a SIL I am trying to surprise with the same project. do you have a tepmlate lid size?
Could I ask how you did the scalloped edges on picnik that you use here and also the ones on your blog button? I have been playing with it for hours and can't figure it out! Thanks
Hi, thank you so much for this printable. I used it to label party favors !
