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.

Halloween Cards

Hang tags are so versatile and jars are really popular right now for crafting so when I saw these hang tags with jars on them I couldn't resist the temptation to play with them.

These are perfect for Halloween cards.

 After printing my files I cut them out and went to work.  I put some twine around the lids and added some googley eyes to the pumpkin, the die cut pumpkin and spider are extra cuts from previous projects. A couple of crow buttons that I painted with black chalk paint and added some eyes to.

More leftover cuts from previous projects plus a couple of black jewels.



I added some star buttons on this one that I painted with black chalk paint then added some craft twinkles to.

I cut the banners from papers I had leftover from cutting out the cards.

Printable Farmhouse Label Projects

For this project I used the:
Farmhouse Labels - Coal Company - Toy Company

You get 12 total labels, two different images in 3 different sizes.

My first card is a side step card. I found a very good video on how to cut and score this card: Side Step Card on Youtube I used one of the smallest images on this card. To make my, "coal" I used some black fleece scraps I have leftover from a pair of pajamas that I made myself. I didn't make the strips uniform, coal doesn't come that way in nature. I cut 4 strips of fleece approximately 1.75" wide x 3" tall, folded them in half to form almost a square then stitch together on the bottom and sides then turn so they are right side out and stuff with fiberfill, stitch opening closed. The Christmas stocking and sentiment were cut with my Cricut.

Next came some tags.

 

After cutting out my images (I used the medium sized images) I mounted them onto some green scraps I had on hand, punched a hole in the upper left corner and added the ribbon.

I also made 4 cards.

I cut some Christmas papers from my stash and cut the cards, the first 3 cards measure 6" high x 4 1/4" wide when folded and trimmed the corners, then I cut a layer to mount the images onto. I tied a twine around the middle on two of them, and a bow on one

The last and smaller card measures 5 1/2" high x 5" wide when folded. I also added a layer to this card and a twine bow. For these 4 cards I used the 2 biggest sizes of the images.  

If you like these images they're on sale thru Dec. 2 at 50% Off. All other printables are on sale too, so be sure to check them out.
