Note Cards & Tic Tac Toe

Once again, I have two projects for today. The first one is a note card from this file:

 

This was so fast and easy to do, it wouldn't take very long at all to make up a set as a hostess gift as you are running out the door.

 

 



 After printing and cutting the note card and envelope out, I inked my edges then I added some leaves using a small leaf stamp from my stash, some shinny leaf  confetti and a piece of twine on the edge.

 

These would be useful for several different things, Thanksgiving dinner invitations, my favorite, tea party invitations, hostess gifts, actually a gift for any occasion.

Next I had more bottle cap fun, using up some more of these Fall Pockets bottle cap images from last month.

 

I wanted to make a Tic Tac Toe game that can go wherever you do. I left the outside a little bland. I started with a Silhouette file for the box, cutting the top, bottom and insert with my Cameo. I printed the, "Tic Tac Toe" with my Cricut.

 

I added the grid lines with my Cricut using Sure Cuts a Lot to trace a picture of the grid which I found online.

 



 

I cut the images out, inked the edges then adhered them to the inside of the bottle caps then I coated the entire inside of the caps with Glossy Accents. I made 5 scarecrow pieces and 5 cactus pieces. All of the pieces fit inside making it easier to find them and to take them along wherever you go.

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Tic Tac Toe Snowman Ornament

Hello bloggers. Hope everyone is keeping warm out there.

I am in the ornament making mood I think.

Today I have a tutorial to show you how to make this Tic Tac Snowman Ornament.

So grab you glue,cardboard,twine,distress ink,scrapbook paper, and this collection of bottle caps 

#091006 Let It Snow

You might want to grab cocoa too if it's chilly in your area.

FIRST get a piece of cardboard and cut it to size 4in by 4in square.

THEN you want to cover it with black scrapbook paper.

AFTER you have printed out your bottle caps. cut them out and ink the edges.

Then glue the bottle caps down onto cardboard. This gives them a nice height.

Then take jute and glue it on the 4in by 4in card like this. I used hot glue, you can use whatever glue you like. I love hot glue!

Then start glueing on the snowman bottle caps. 

Attach a jute hoop, some sparkly ribbon, and write Merry Christmas and the year with a gel pen.

There you have it. 

I remember playing tic tac toe alot growing up. So this was a cute ornament idea for me.

Until next time, stay warm~ Cyn
