Wood Love Letters

Today’s inspiration was Valentine’s day.  I decided to try my hand at cutting out a new font style.  I ended up using the Script MT Bold font because I like that the “O” was open at the top and I wouldn’t have to use my other saw to cut out the center.  The letters are also a little wider than some which is good for preventing the wood from breaking. I painted the letters a soft pink then dabbed on a darker pink for a distressed look.  I used the same paper that I used in my previous post of the heart, as well as another Valentine’s...

Christmas Countdown Blocks

I finally finished my first set of Christmas Countdown Blocks.  Each block is 3″ x 3″ and sit on a six inch 2″ x 4″ block.  Each side of the block has a different piece of Christmas patterned paper on it.  I added snowflakes and gems to each side as well.  In the evening the lighting makes the gems sparkle. I can’t wait to put these blocks up on my mantle at Christmas.  I know my kids are going to love flipping them each day.  I might make a set for my front entrance shelf as well, or perhaps for the rec. room downstairs!  I guess it is...

New Harvest Blocks

Well my fireplace mantle has been decorated and I’m just about ready for Thanksgiving.  I put up a bunch of leafy garland that I bought at Michaels and added my HARVEST blocks that I made a couple of weeks ago.  I painted these blocks brown and added patterned paper to each one in fall colors.  A couple of little pumpkins finished off the decorations!  I would still like to make something for my front entrance as well, like maybe a Give Thanks board, or something like that.  Maybe I’ll get to do that before the...

Hallowe’en Countdown Blocks

I just finished my Hallowe’en countdown blocks!  This is such a cute project.  I made them on 3″ x 3″ square blocks of wood, with a 2″ x 4″ for the bottom block.  Each side has been covered in a different pattern of Hallowe’en paper, and each side has a number on it.  The blocks were painted black and have been sealed with mod podge and varnish.  This is a fun wood project for halloween and kids will love flipping the blocks each day until then!  I’m going to be selling a Countdown Blocks Kit soon which will be great for any...

Fall Harvest Kit

The weather is getting a bit cooler and I noticed yesterday that some of the trees are starting to change color already.  That can mean one thing…fall is on it’s way.  I love everything about fall, the colors, the cooler weather, being able to wear comfy sweaters, and it’s the perfect time to start in on those autumn crafts. I’ve created a new HARVEST kit that includes everything you need to make your own fall decoration.  It includes 7 unfinished wood blocks in staggered sizes of 5.5″, 4.5″, and 4″.  It also comes with paper...
