Angel's Believe Ewe-N-Me Calendar

Happy Friday everyone:

We are down to the wire with the holiday happening next week.  I love this sweet calendar set which I made for a dear friend of mine who is truly an angel.  I stapled the calendar pages together and then glued a ribbon down over the top of the pages.  I did not adhere the ribbon over the actual pages so that they would be easy to tear off at the end of the month.

I bought these tacky magnetic adhesive dots and put a bunch of them on the back of the calendar to make sure that it will hold up to being hung up.  These calendars are so quick and easy and would make a lovely gift for a teacher, friend or grab gift.  

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday.

Hugs,

Anita

Cocoa Treat Envelope Gift Card Holder

Hello Everyone:

Can you believe how close Christmas is getting?  I needed to make a gift card holder for my brother and fell in love with this Merry Christmas Santa printable Cocoa Treat envelope.  I decided to make mine into a gift card holder.  I like to jazz up gift cards and think this will do the trick perfectly.

I added stickles roughly to his beard and eyebrows to give them some dimension.  Because this treat envelope is so lovely and is for a man, I didn't do much other decorations than creating two hang tags, one with the Santa from the back of the package and another tag with my brother's name on it.

I printed two of the files and then was able to easily decorate any way in which I wanted to.  That is the beauty of Deena's files, once they are yours, you can print as many as you need to.  I'll be back later this week with another project.  Have a great day everyone and hope this holiday season is magical for you.

Warm Snowmen Ornament

I love the holiday season because there is such inspiration around you.  I found these ornaments at Michael's and had seen someone else make an ornament out of one half.  I used the Warm Snowmen hang tags and chose one for inside of my ornament.  I put fake snow and a background scalloped circle and some jewels to give it some sparkle.

 

Bottle Cap Image Inserts

Tried a photo not on the tree and tried to block the glare from the light outside.  You can make so many of these ornaments with the hang tags and bottle cap inserts and get two ornaments for the price of one ball.  There are different size circles as well.

Thanks for looking and be sure to check out the Ewe-N-Me Printables store as Deena has added a whole bunch of wonderful goodies for you to choose from.

Sweet Holiday Wishes Grab-N-Go Cup

Here is a fun holiday gift to give to your favorite coffee, tea or hot cocoa lover.  The PDF prints up so beautifully and you can fill the cup with gift cards, coffee, tea and anything else you can think of.  I wrapped the cup holder around a standard to go coffee cup from the grocery store.  They sell them in larger packs.

I added some glossy accents and some stickles to give the parts of the cup some dimension.  If you are looking for an easy and wonderful teachers holiday gift, then you don't need to look further than these adorable cup holders.  Deena has many others in the store for you to choose from as well.  There are also a lot of new holiday items which she just put into the store so be sure to pop on over and see them all.

Merry Christmas Card Box and Cards

 I am starting to get into the Christmas spirit.  I love these Printable Hang Tag Victorian Santa Post Cards.  You can find them along with lots of other wonderful goodness in the Ewe-N-Me Printables Store.

I cut the post cards up and put stickles on the tree Santa is holding and on the holly.  I love old fashioned Santa's and the idea of giving someone a box full of creative goodness is so fun.  These cards print up so perfectly and there are 8 to a sheet so you can use them for so many different things.  I popped up the post card to give it more dimension next to the flowers.  Thanks so much for looking and have a great day.

Hugs,

Give Thanks Pillow Box Placecard

I love to host the holidays and bring some fun and color as well as a treat to the guests at my table.  I printed this Give Thanks pillow box and used some stickers to embellish it as a place card for my mom.

I think that these will look so lovely on each person's plate.  I am going to fill them with some chocolate truffles as a sweet take home treat.  They print up so gorgeous and can be embellished in so many ways.

This awesome printable is called Give Thanks Printable Pillow Box   There are also so many wonderful new items in the store that you just have to pop on over for a visit.

Halloween M&M Cookie Jar

One of my best friend's daughter is at school and living in her own apartment while playing Division I field hockey which keeps her so busy.  She loves to bake but finding the time is hard with sports, her studies and a boyfriend.  I thought this would be a cute Halloween gift for her.  I love that you can get all different colors of M&M;s depending on the season.  You can make this jar for gifts all year round and just switch up the Ewe-N-Me Printables Jars Hang Tags to match the season or occasion.  

Halloween Jars Hang Tags

 

I love how cute this came out.  I used some Stickles to highlight the pumpkin on the tag and then on another tag cut out the cat and pumpkin and used some black Stickles on the cat and some Glossy Accents on the bow on his hat.  I found that it is better to put the Stickles on sparingly and then I used a QTip and wiped most of the glitter off so that you could still see the detail in the image.

I used my My Favorite Things dies again to punch out two circles for the top cover.  I love that when you buy this printable you get 8 tags on one sheet of paper.  I hope you try this recipe out and show us what you did.  You can find this and many other wonderful printables at the Ewe-N-Me Printables store.

Supplies Needed:

Wide Mouth Mason Jar

1 1/2 cups M&M's

1/4 cup white sugar

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

3/4 cup brown sugar

Ice Cream Scoop (to pack down layers)

Recipe to attach to tag:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Pour contents into a bowl and mix well.  Work in 3/4 cup of softened butter with your hands until the mixture is crumbly.  In a separate bowl beat 1 tsp vanilla with 1 egg.  Mix wet ingredients into dry.  Place heaping Tablespoons on cookie sheet and bake 10-14 minutes.

Fall is Here Treat Box

It's fall here in New England and what better time than now to create a little treat box filled with chocolate and popcorn.  Perfect for a movie night snuggled on the couch.  I printed the candy bar label on glossy paper to give it a lovely look.  The image printed up so perfectly and the label looks so cute on the box.  It pulls the whole project together.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to die cut the box, the pumpkin and the leaves to make a holder for my goodies.  I was trying to come up with something that looked like the boxes that kids get their popcorn, snack and drink in at the movies.  The popcorn is actually a caramel one which also fits nicely with the season.

I am really enjoying playing with the Ewe-N-Me Printables and really hope that you have a moment to check out the store.  There are so many ways to use them and I know you will love them.

Fun and Games Checker Board

I am so excited to share my first design team post for Ewe-N-Me Printables.  I love these printables and they are so easy to use and print up gorgeously in your printer.  I love salt box homes and thought this would be a really fun set to make.  I bought a plain wooden tray from Joann's and painted it with Martha Stewart's Chipotle color paint.  It matched the red salt box homes perfectly.  I printed out both image sheets on cardstock and then adhered black cardstock to the tray with Modge Podge.  Once that was dry I adhered the game board over the cardstock and Modge Podged the whole tray and board piece.

I wanted to make the game pieces fit on the green squares like a real checkers board so used a round die to cut out the houses.  I inked half of the houses red and half black on the edge to denote the different players pieces.  I used red and black cardstock to punch matching circles to back the game pieces and popped them up so you can move them around easily.

Lastly, I printed Fun and Games with my Silhouette and put it on the outer long edge and tied some twine around the handle.  You can shop for these items in the Ewe-N-Me store and also with the links below.
