I promised these images weeks ago, and I’m finally posting today. We’ve been practicing the phrases “Happy Halloween” and “trick-or-treat” the last few days and it’s paying off. Today I heard the boys in their room yelling “Happy Halloween!” out the window to the garbage man. Cutest thing ever! I’m going to go get my
I have some fun Halloween party designs new in the Silhouette online store that I’ll be showing on my blog next week, but today I had to show you my adorable little fox and hound from Halloween last year. Aren’t they just the cutest! I struggled finding a fox and a hound costume that went
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
Here is a simple farewell party I threw for a friend before she moved away. It was one last get together with all our girlfriends. I used neon circle labels found in the office supply section to add a little touch of neon to everything. It was so easy and fast. Each guest left with
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.
This ABC book is so easy to make using the ABC flashcards. I bought two mini albums at the dollar store, printed the flashcards and put them inside. I made one book for the uppercase and one for the lowercase. I kept them separate because I will be teaching them separate and I wanted to
Yesterday I introduced a new set of ABC flashcards. Today I want to show you those same flashcards used as a kids craft to reinforce each letter they learn.
This is one of those projects I’ve wanted to do for a few years now, and there’s no time like the present. It’s back to school season and these flashcards are perfect for the little ones. There is a flashcard for both the upper and lowercase of each letter. Each vowel has a word for
My aunt gave me a picnic table this summer that needed a little TLC. With some new boards, a little welding, and some paint, it was as good as new. I think this table would be so cute with the Barbecue Party. I can’t wait to use it for other parties.
With all the summer barbecues going on, I wanted to create a party kit that was simple, fast and could be done by anyone. A great party can still be made on limited time and expense. I was inspired by Heather Bailey’s Nicey Jane – Porch Swing collection and went from there. The pinwheels were made by
My adorable friend Ali is due with her first baby this month and I’m so excited for her. She sent me some pictures from a baby shower her mother-in-law threw her using the Woodland Party Theme. Notice the cake topper is the fox from the invitation. Clever. She also used the garland for decor along
I made this banner to celebrate my niece’s kindergarten graduation. It’s a great banner that can be used for many occasions, and goes well with a variety or party decorations. It would be fun for a summer party or to celebrate small achievements such as an A on a spelling test. Make little party favors using
Here are some last minute party ideas for the 4th of July. First are these Patriotic Food Toppers. There are no paper pieces to layer or toothpicks to glue, just cut and insert them into any yummy treat! The second is this simple flag banner using the Party Banner die cut. Another quick project that doesn’t
Silhouette has a great promotion going on right now for their Silhouette Studio Designer Edition. This is what sold me on my first Silhouette. I wanted a digital cutting machine that could cut out my own custom designs without having to buy cartridges or only use the designs available from the company. The Designer Edition
Here is the tutorial for the 3D Star Garland as promised. I strung these on twine, but I think they could look cute over a string of lights if you used thinner paper. It might be something worth trying. Supplies Needed: 3D Star Silhouette Cut File Adhesive Red, White and Blue paper Twine Silhouette Cameo or Portrait How
