Dinosaur Party Favors + 4 Freebies!

Hello everyone, you better hold on to your hats, this is a long post! It's Thursday and I'm so excited to share my project with you this week! Yesterday was my son's 4th birthday and tonight we're having his party! He loves dinosaurs, so I used that as my theme! Remember that cute little TRex SVG I made a while back? Well I decided to turn him into a digi stamp (you can snag him below).

Then I used Lindsay's Fun Fair SVG template to make the popcorn box to hold all the goodies. Well, i thought it needed a handle, so I used Lindsay's ticket strip svg as a template, but I didn't cut it on my cricut I used the printable template. I also created my own "Admit One" ticket digi stamp to overlay on the ticket strip. I copied and pasted the ticket digi stamp over each ticket on the strip, then printed and hand cut! So easy and it makes the handle look so cool! I made 10 of these in no time at all!

This project qualifies for the following challenges: Cowgirl Sunday (Anything Goes), Crafty Ann's (Anything but a card), Gingersnap Creations (Punches), Karber Weekly (Go Digital), Stamp, Scrap & Doodle (Open Challenge), Stamp-n-Doodle (Anything Goes) and Sweet Stampin (Punch it out).

Here is the Fun Fair SVG templates. They are just 3.00 folks! You get a tapered popcorn box, a strip of tickets with perferations that you can weld end to end to make a roll and a single ticket that you can resize to fit your need and even resize to match any ticket runner stamps you own, just think of the possibilities! Also you get a prize ribbon layered die cut, you can cut all the shapes form solid cardstock or mix and match with diffrent colors and patterns for a funky look. There is so many ways you can use this set! Cut these designs with your Cricut Machine and Sure Cuts a Lot (scal) or Make the Cut (MTC) software or use the printable tempates and cut them by hand like I did!

I also had to make these cute little test tube candy holders to in each favor bag (10 total). One child that will be coming to the party has several food allergies, so I made him one with Smarties inside! I wasn't sure if Skittles were safe or not, but I knew he could have smarties.

Thanks for stopping by, now head on over to Lindsay's blog for a freebie and to check out the work by the rest of the DT! Before you go, don't forget to grab your freebies below! (Right-click to save)



With Deepest Sympathy...+ Freebie

It's Thursday...so you know what that means! Time for a Lindsay project! She has two new sets available! I decided to use this beautiful cross from the Many Blessings set. I used the sketch from 2S4Y this week. I colored the stamp using my copics. I love the purple! I've never used my purple copics much, but I will now.  I cut the card base with my cricut using an old svg from Mamaw's Legacy.

The purple dew drops I made myself using a hot glue gun and alcohol ink. Lindsay has a tutorial here.

This card qualifies for the challenges at Easy Craft Projects (Purple), One Stitch at a Time (Anything Goes), Stamp Something (Fall Colors, Stamptacular Sunday (Fall colors) and Tuesday Throwdown (punches)

I created this card for my cousin who is serving in Afghanistan. His birthday is next month and our family is getting together a care package to send him. So I picked up some candy and made this card to put in the box.

Baby Shower Thank You Cards

Hello again! I don't have much time, so I'll make this quick. Brett is starting to wake up and he's gonna be hungry again. haha. I've been working on making and addressing thank you cards. I made 20 of these really quickly. They were very easy. The paper is "dreamy" from My Mind's Eye. It reminds me of a baby crib or mobile. The footprints were cut using scal and my cricut. You can find the free file here.

Meet Baby Brett + Lindsay Project

If you've been wondering where I've been, I am finally back! Not sure how often I'll be posting though since there is a new little boy in my life and he already has me wrapped around his tiny little finger!

So in honor my first post after having my new boy, which I'll introduce to you in a moment, I made these baby shower favors. They would also be great to give out after the baby is born instead of the old fashioned bubble gum cigars. I bought these plastic shot test tubes at shotwizard.com. They are 5" tall and perfect to fill with all kinds of yummy candy. I chose to fill this one with some grape flavored Nerds (since this is all I had on hand). However the tiny nerd box was just the right amount to fill the tube! I used Lindsay's test tube holder template. I cut it using the SCAL software and my cricut. However if you do not have a cricut, Lindsay also has the printable template available! And they are only $3.00! would have put some ribbon somewhere on this project, but i left all my ribbon at my mom's while working on the hooded towels...oops.

Now I introduce to you:
