Here is a little coupon book that I made for my husband three years ago for Valentine's Day. I used a few different Stampin' Up sets to make it. I'm pretty sure they are all retired now but I'm posting this now more for the idea and less for you wanting to make an exact replica. The inside used the Create a Coupon stamp set. Each coupon has a perforation on the inside edge for easy removal. I did that using the perforation tool from the Stampin' Up cutter kit. I layered the ... more » -
I haven't done a Stuff I Like post in a while so I thought I'd throw one out there today. I've got valentines on the brain because I'm trying to decide what to make with my kids for their classmates. This etsy mini didn't help too much, but I couldn't help but share some of the pretty items I found while browsing. Enjoy. Is one of your products featured? Grab an I've Been Featured button!

If I can use toilet paper for Halloween and the craft challenges, I might as well use it for Christmas! We're iced-in at the moment so I was searching for some kid friendly Christmas crafts to keep the kids busy. I came across this one at Catholic Icing. I'm printing them off right now and will put the kids to work coloring!

I seriously underestimated what my energy level might be after working for Provo Craft the week before Christmas. My five days of gift ideas have turned into three. Of all of them, I think this one is the most crucial! The stocking is a great place to put all sorts of little goodies that crafters will go crazy for! Husband (s), take note! 1. Gelly Roll Glitter Pens What crafter wouldn't want to write (or embellish) with glitter? 2. Wintery Glitter from Martha Stewart ... more » -
Day 2 of gift guides include stuff for the techies in your life. I most certainly consider myself a member of this crowd. I'm a computer nerd that loves crafts. [caption id="attachment_2686" align="aligncenter" width="430" caption="photo copyright Craftsquatch"][/caption] 1. Twitter Pillow from Craftsquatch.etsy.com This first item is perfect for any crafty geek in your life. You can purchase one of these on Etsy for $20 but I'm sure most of my readers (at least here at this sit... more » -
This week I'm posting some gift guides. They'll also be cross posted on my personal site so they aren't all craft related. There will be at least one homemade item per list. Today we've got gifts for foodies. Enjoy! 1. Taste of Italy gift set from Vervacious: Voyage Inspired Fancy Foods At $50 this is a little out of range for a hostess gift (at least for me!) but if you're shopping for an adventurous chef wanna-be, this could be a great option. Vervacious has so many differ... more » -
We're on day two of snow days and this morning I thought it would be fun to make some snow ice cream with the kids. We have over a foot of snow so we went out on the deck to collect some. You'll want a big bowl full of snow! The rest of the recipe is pretty simple. SNOW ICE CREAM RECIPE 1 big bowl of fresh snow 1 cup granulated sugar 2 cups milk 1 tablespoon vanilla Mix everything together. Serve and enjoy! It doesn't look that great, but it tastes good! I never realiz... more » -
When I was demoing the Cricut last week in Michigan, I made some Christmas cards for demos. We had the Winter Woodland cartridge and it was the first time I had the chance to use it. For the Warm Winter Wishes card I used the Winter Woodland cartridge exclusively. This cards looks really cool in person. I used Winter Woodland and Storybook. I put glossy accents on the corner swirls. You also can't really tell from the picture but the paper is sparkly. This is an in-progress ph... more » -
For the next several days I'm at a Costco in Grand Rapids, MI doing some demos for the Cricut. It's a lot of fun and when you spend over 11 hours a day with the Cricut, you come up with a lot of fun things to make! I'm going to be showing you some of the projects I've been working on over the next couple of days. The first thing I made was a mini calendar advent. How festive! An advent calendar hanging on boxes and boxes of Cricut Expressions. If I had made this at home, I would ha... more » -
I entered a contest. It is a contest to win a trip to Neil Diamond's Christmas party. All you had to do was a take a picture of yourself in your Christmas sweater. Too easy, I say. Why take a picture in any old Christmas sweater when you can make one yourself? I give you... The Holly Holy Christmas Sweater I used a GeMagic to do the "Holly Holy" rhinestones. I added mirror ball ornaments around the neckline. Christmas buttons sewn on. A holly and poinsettia garland holds some... more »
