Free Stocking SVG

I just added a new stocking svg to the craft edge website.  It’s titled Classic Stocking.  This is a quick example of what I did with my svg.  I cut out the stocking in red paper using ‘Blackout’.  I then cut it out in ‘Normal’ in white and snipped the top off.  I glittered the bottom in red and the top with white.  (Remember you don’t have to glitter the top of the stocking because it’ll be covered with the white part.  I made that mistake.) After I glittered each piece I stuck them between two pieces of paper and ran them...

Birthday Banners

It was my son’s birthday yesterday and I got to put up the Happy Birthday banner I made for him the year before.  I also made a banner with his name that I strung across the fireplace.  I put ribbon coils between each letter and it looked really good.  I also hung ribbon coils from the ceiling (just with some scotch tape) and scattered balloons all over the floor.  My kids love it when I decorate for their birthdays.

Shopping Day

Today I went shopping with a girlfriend at Michaels.  I got some cute Christmas ribbon and the Martha Stewart Scoring Board.  I was going to get the Scor-Pal but nobody in town carried it and Michaels didn’t have it either.  I got the last Scoring Board on the shelf and I was shocked to see that it was cheaper than the Scor-Pal!  I tried it out at my friends and it worked great.  It sure makes it easy to make cards with multiple folds!  The only downer is I think I forgot it at my friends house.  Oh well, maybe she’s using it tonight! So I made a couple...
