Rather than tracing and cutting out handprints for wreaths on several gifts, I just traced their hands in
December is just around the corner which means it’s time for advent calendars. I love advent calendars! I created this one as a craft for my nieces and nephews to make together. I cut out all the ornaments in a variety of colors and let them mix and match to make their own special ornaments
I love making treat boxes and this candy wrapper box is one of my favorites. This is the perfect one for those times when you need to make a lot. It has very few pieces and doesn’t require a lot of candy to fill it. The ends twist shut just like wrappers on candy really
To finish off the week with the ABC flashcards, I have a tutorial for you on how to make them into coloring pages. I printed mine 4 to a page and bound them using The Cinch. Continue reading for a tutorial on how to turn the print and cut flashcards into coloring pages.

Silhouette has a promotion on their fabric interfacing that starts today. (Yep, I have a promotion code for you at the end of this post.) It was the inspiration for making this classic fish pond game. I had my doubts about how well the machine really could cut fabric and the quality of the interfacing.

Whether it’s a big piñata for all the guests to break together, or small piñatas for party favors. Your guests will love to discover the surprises hiding in these little
