Valentine Treat Boxes

2/9/2020

 

Post for Cut Card Stock.com

That time is here...stressing over valentines for your children's classmates. I end up dreading this every year and waiting until the last minute to get something done. This year in my quest to actually organize and do things ahead of time, I decided to start my project a bit early. This also coincided with my first blog post for CutCardStock.com as an influencer. I am excited to be working with them. I purchase a lot of my basic cardstock, especially Neenah solar white papers and envelopes, from them. CutCardStock.com has a lot of variety and they can do custom cutting on site. I decided to use 12x12 sheets of their DCS white and show ways to stretch that white cardstock. Please read on to see what I made.

Home Decor using stamping supplies

Altenew Education Certification Program level 2 challenge

Here it is....the final challenge of level 2. So far I have taken 20 Altenew Academy classes and made 37 cards. This has been a really great experience to improve my card presentation and to learn different techniques. For this challenge I had to make a home decor project using inspiration from some of the 20 classes I have taken. I decided to make some prints in the spirit of John Audubon’s nature prints. I had been planning on purchasing some Audubon original book plates but these are really expensive. The book plates have really simple images and have just a flower or birds with the species name in typeface. Altenew stamp sets have beautiful detailed images that I thought would work great for this project. Read on for how I put together these home decor pieces. If you have questions on the Altenew Educator Program, please let me know as I would be happy to talk about my experiences so far. I’ve included affiliate links in this post for the items I used to make these pieces. If you use these links to purchase the items, I may get a small commission at no cost to you. Thank you for your support.

Personalizing Christmas

Personalizing Stockings

...and their stockings were hung by the chimney with care
For Christmas this year, I purchased some stockings on Black Friday at Michael’s. I wanted to personalize them with everyone’s name.
I bought these cute plaid stockings with a large red cuff. I also bought an extra roll of Cotton Linen Cricut Iron on vinyl. On Cricut Design Space, I typed out the names and then decided on a system font: In Cricut Design Space there are Cricut Fonts you can purchase or the app can also use System Fonts you may already have.
The cuff measured 7” wide by 5” high. All the names are 1” high and I locked the height/width ratio to keep the sizes similar even though each name had different numbers of letters.
I cut out the vinyl using my Expression Air on the iron-on setting with mirror on selected. I then used my iron to adhere the vinyl onto the cuff. I used extra time with the heat so I could make sure the vinyl adhered to the thick felt.
They came out cute and I can’t wait to hang them up!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope this inspired you to personalize your Holiday Decor.
