Halloween SVG’s

I went crazy doing up some svg’s today, but I can’t help myself, they’re all just sooo darned cute!!  I got these ones from a couple different kits, the Halloween SVG Collection, and Party On Elm Street SVG Kit.  I just love the little spider!  I’m going to cut out a bunch for Halloween and cut out pieces of sticky back magnetic strip to stick to the backs of them, then I’m going to put them all over my front door.  They’re just too fun not to do something with.  I might add some red gems to the eyes when I do them as well, like I...

SVG Thanksgiving Card

Thanksgiving is fast approaching (well, in Canada anyway), so I thought I would make a cute Thanksgiving card from a kit that I got from SVGCuts.  Instead of just making it into a regular card, I thought it might be cute as a Thanksgiving place card for dinner.  It would add some color to the table, and I thought a note on the inside would make for a nice Thank-You to guests. Instead of making the smaller pumpkin out of paper, I cut it out of an adjustable chalkboard decal.  This way, if you were to keep your place cards, you can easily wipe the names off with a damp...

Valentine’s Day Photo Blocks

I wanted to make a little something for Valentine’s Day, and I keep seeing these amazing photo blocks everywhere, so I had to try making a set for myself.  Mine are pretty basic, and the first photo set I’ve done, but I love how easy they are to make! I used some 2×4 wood that I cut into blocks, painted them with some brown acrylic paint, and mod podged my pre-cut photos onto them.  I did a little distressing around the edges of the wood before sticking on my pictures, and I used a rounded corner punch on my pics as well.  I bought a cheap rolling pin...

Teacher’s Gift Ideas for Christmas

If any of you have a Cricut machine, then you should absolutely get the SCAL program from Craft Edge, then go to svgcuts and download their super cute svg files for Christmas!  I just downloaded this drum and sleigh from their Santa’s Visit SVG Kit, and I think they’re perfect for creating teacher’s gifts for my boys to give to their teachers this year. I always say I’m the worst gift giver there is.  I never know what to give people…especially teachers!  But this year I’m going to do up two of the little drums, fill them with some...

Halloween SVG Craft

Here’s a Halloween SVG I got from SVGCuts.  It’s a treat cone decorated as a bat!  I thought it was so cute and just had to get it.  This came in a kit with a cauldron, a scrapbook page layout, and a spider template.  I thought this treat cone would be perfect to decorate and fill with candy to give to my boys as a special Halloween surprise.  Although, once I made it, I thought it would be a great decoration as well and hung it up on one of my closet doors in my house :).  It was just too cute! This Halloween SVG was so easy to make, and they have a...

Wooden Pumpkin and Boo Blocks

Hallowe’en is getting closer!  The leaves are falling off the trees, and the days are getting cool and crisp.  Fall is my favorite time of year! In honor of fall and Hallowe’en I created a wooden pumpkin and some cute little BOO blocks to display in my front entrance.  I used an SVG to cut out the bottom pumpkin and use as my template to cut out in wood.  I then made an oval to attach to the front of the pumpkin just to give it some dimension. I painted them in yellow ochre, school bus yellow, and leaf green.  I used the yellow ochre as my base color for...
