Post-it Note Holder

Happy Friday!

It's Friday! It's Friday! It's Friday! WooHoo!

I have a fun an easy project for you today, they are post-it note covers. So fun! I saw the idea at a craft fair a couple years ago and I thought they were so cute. 

I have several friends who are all about sports. I converted a few team logo's in Make-the-Cut and made some sports covers. I think these are such great gifts or stocking stuffers.

Can you guess who I made the SF one for? Hmmmm.... I wonder! (wink, wink)

 Here's what they look like open! These are perfect gifts that kids can make for their teacher's! They're so quick and easy and they take little very supplies. You can use stickers or even have them draw a picture on the front.

I am going to work on some college logo's next!

I made this one for my bestie's hubby. I added his name so that he could take it to work and not worry about it getting lifted from his desk. :)  

Want to see how to make them?

Thanks for watching!

I hope you have a great day and a wonderful weekend!

Dia de los Muertos

Happy Thursday!

Today is "Dia de los Muertos" or "Day of the Dead"  it is a Mexican holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and around the world in other cultures. The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died. It is particularly celebrated in Mexico, where it is a national holiday. The celebration takes place on November 1, in connection with the Catholic holidays of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day (November 2). Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars honoring the deceased using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed and visiting graves with these as gifts. They also leave possessions of the deceased.

Although, I do not celebrate Dia de los Muertos, I have friends who do. I thought it would be fun to create Day of the Dead cards for them. Both cards were made with the Silhouette's print and cut feature.

The base of this card is from the Cricut Wild Card Cartridge. The yellow polka dot paper, the skull, and the banner are all graphic files from Lettering Delights.

The base of this card is a top note shape that I found online and converted into a svg and then into a card. The diamond paper, cat, and banner are all graphic files from Lettering Delights. I just love the white stitching on the black, don't you?

Card base: Cricut, Wild Card Cartridge

Skull & Banner Graphics: Lettering Delights, Sugar Skull Graphic set 

Digital paper: Lettering Delights, Sugar Skull Paper 

Card stock: DCWV and Recollection's

Crinkle Ribbon: Etsy

Card base: Top note shape welded together to make a card.

Cat & Banner Graphics: Lettering Delights, Sugar Skull Graphic set 

Digital paper: Lettering Delights, Curiouser and Curiouser 

Card stock: Recollection's

Although I love how both these cards turned out, I am still not a huge fan of the "print and cut" feature. It's a huge time saver and really easy to do, but I really like choosing the colors of the cuts and piecing the pieces together. I *heart* paper to much to be just a "print and cut" girl. :) I will say, that digital papers rock! Ah! One more thing to put on my "wish list".

Guess what!?!

Tomorrow is Friday! WooHoo!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

3-D Wednesday

Happy Halloween!

This darling little witch bear is from Scrapping Bug Designs and I found this fun pop-up slider card svg from SugarGem. The pop-up slider card was really easy to cut out and assemble. Lenae at SugarGem has a great video tutorial for this svg file, on her blog, showing how to put it together.

Halloween Crackers

Happy Wednesday!

Today is 3-d Wednesday on the My Creative Time blog. I just love 3-d day don't you?  We were asked to "alter" something and I have all these toilet paper rolls laying around. So, I thought it would be fun to make some Halloween Crackers. 

So... I whipped up these babies.

I love making these for holiday's and as party favors for special occasions. They don't "explode" like the real thing, but they are still just as much fun to open. You can fill them with anything, (well, anything that fits inside the roll) the possibles are endless.

 

 

So fun, right!?!

Tissue Paper: Party City
Dies & Stamps: My Creative Time: Fancy Frame Stamp & Die, Curly Label Die, Treats for My Sweet
