Creative Team Members Corri and Amanda

Hope you had a very Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the states, I for one did. So many things I am grateful for. Today we have 2 beautiful projects to share with you. Amanda used the “Vintage Suitcase” file and made this adorable kit. We are sharing pictures here, but she has lots of instructions on her blog.

do you really need words from me? These projects are beautiful and don’e need any descriptions from me. I will let their owners share with you. More info at Corri’s blog on the Santa Pillow Box and the snowman topper that can both be found in the store. Thanks for stopping by.

Countdown to Christmas Blog Hop

Can you believe that Christmas is just a little over a month away? It’s time to get crafting! There is plenty of time to create some projects to make the holidays FUN. Today, my Creative Team will be sharing some fabulous ideas for creating Christmas Gifts, Countdown/Advent Calendars, and even some December Daily projects. So, let’s get this party started!

For my part of the blog hop… I have designed SEVERAL word art files with the idea of gift giving in mind. These files are PERFECT for cutting out of VINYL and adhering to GLASS, WOOD, or even a TILE to create Christmas gifts. Some are Christmas themed, some are more “home decor” oriented. So, take a look and start thinking about how you could use these files to make some fun gifts.

Here are a few ways you can use this art to create some beautiful homemade gifts…

1.) Etch a saying into a glass. Cut the reverse of the saying in vinyl and stick to a glass plate, baking dish, candle holder, etc. Apply etching liquid (you can buy that at a craft store).

2.) Create a tile with a custom saying. Cut a saying out of vinyl and adhere it to a 12×12 tile and give it with an easle.

3.) Create a set of drink coasters. Adhere different sayings to a set of smaller 4″ tiles. Back with some non-scratch felt pieces. Tie the set together with some ribbon.

4.) Create a wall hanging. Cut and paint a piece of wood the desired size. Cut a saying out of vinyl and adhere it to the front of the wood. Staple ribbon to the back side of the wood.

I really hope you enjoy these new sayings and that you find them useful in your holiday projects. You can find them in a new “Vinyl Art” category found HERE in the shop.

You can pick up these shapes (and anything else in my SHOP) for 30% OFF now through Tuesday, November, 27th. Use code: HOLIDAY30 at checkout. Hopefully this will help you get the files you need for your Christmas projects.
