Weekend Projects: Framework Alphabet Stamp Set

Who said that stamps are not educational? =)
I love this new stamp set from CTMH - E1027 Framework Alphabet (set of 66). It comes with 2 carrier sheets.
And this is what I do with it...

I leave the stamps on the carrier sheet and ink them (if my son N lets me...).
Then, place the sheet on a piece of paper and stamp them, rubbing the whole sheet so you don't miss any letter.
And ta-da!!!
You can ask your kids to trace, color, circle a specific letter, anything!
N loves it and asks for it almost every day! =)

To purchase it, click on the post title or go to http://lilian.ctmh.com

Hope you like it!

Weekend Projects: Tulle "Flower" Headband

A headband I made for my niece M. It matches her tutu...the one I made as her birthday gift. If you didn't see it, click HERE to check it out.

I just tied green and black strips of tulle, tied a bow with a green strip, and trimmed all the ends for a round shape.

Hope you like it!

Back of the card:

I always wanted to make a tri-fold card...but never really got to it...maybe because I didn't have the "right" stamps...
And then, I bought the stamp set below from CTMH and the roses are just perfect for it! The stamp set is called "Love Blooms" (C1511) and you can purchase it HERE.

I also used a stamp (banner) from the Cricut® Artiste Collection (Z1790) and the little flower from the WOTG Chantilly Scrapbooking Kit (G1053).
Other supplies are: Pink Glitter Gems (Z1807), Cotton Candy (Z2193) and Buttercup (Z2110) Ink Pads, foam tape (Z1151), and Spellbinders scallop oval die.

Weekend Projects: Toilet Paper Tube Owls

If you visit my Pinterest, you'll see a board named "For Kids". There's a pin on the board that inspired me to make these owls.
I made these with my boy N. He helped me draw the eyes and glue the pieces. =)

My owls are slightly different than the ones on the pin, though.
The top is supposed to be taped down but my tape didn't want to stay in place because of the paint...so I just cut the top off...
The eyes are 1 inch paper circles that I die cut using my Slice machine.

For the wings and beaks, I used the stamp set that came with the Workshop on the Go Chantilly Scrapbooking Kit from CTMH (Close to my Heart).

Hope you try these out with your kids!

Weekend Projects: Stamped Treat Bag

I had to give some stuff to my sister-in-law, so I thought I would stamp the bag and write the note on, instead of using a card for that.
I used stamps from Close To My Heart (Cricut® Artiste Collection) and Memento ink pad.
For the faux washi tape, I'll post the technique on Wed...so, check back later!
