"HEART" AIR BALLOON CANDY TREATS FOR VALENTINE'S (WITH FREE TEMPLATE)

Just like Halloween, candy is big around here at Valentine's. And I love making candy treats, such as my candy dispenser machines that were popular two years ago. Today, I'm showing you another creative idea that you can steal that makes giving candy at Valentine's that much more special: "heart" air balloons! This craft is easy to assemble, and then once you're finished, just add all the heart candy your heart desires. I mixed in some hard white and red heart-shaped candi

LARGE SANTA CLAUS GIFT TAGS (WITH FREE CUT FILE)

For Silhouette users, you’ve come to the right place for your free template on these cute Santa Claus gift tags! With Christmas only one week away, save the time shopping and let your CAMEO do most of the work. For interest, I made these tags a little larger (about 7 1/4") because the bigger the tag, the bigger the statement. Right?! Plus, there are a lot of little parts that make the whole. To get started, gather the following items: TOOLS & MATERIALS: Card stock in white,

DECORATED CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS GIFT TAGS (WITH FREE CUT FILE)

Finally, the time is here to share some Christmas crafts! Making tags and gift wrap for Christmas is where my passion for paper crafting got started. Today's craft is a basic one, but it allows you to have some fun and be creative. Each of these stocking gift tags were decorated a little differently - in colour, choice of paper, and embellishments - to match a unique gift. You can make them too if you have a Silhouette CAMEO. The free cut file is below! TOOLS & MATERIALS: P

HOLIDAY & SEASONAL

DIY TURKEY BALLOONS

Thanksgiving falls on a much later date here than usual (this year it's on October 14th!), but it's funny how that is even coming up real fast. Even though we are the kind of family that's never home on Thanksgiving, how could I pass up the opportunity to decorate with some adorable turkey balloons?! Of course, having a nearly there 6-year-old is even more reason, because how strange would it be to make them just for my own enjoyment - HA! For this project, I cut all the sha

3D PAPER SPIDER GARLAND (WITH FREE TEMPLATE)

It's that time, time for some Halloween crafts! I absolutely love doing seasonal crafts. Today I'm working with paper to make a fun 3D spider garland (I was originally going to do all black, but what is the fun in that!) So I chose some blue and purple and green, but threw in a little orange too because it is Halloween after all. To make it too, keep on reading to get yourself the free template!

This simple Fall project is once again brought to you by my super handy Silhouette CAMEO! (Though this post is not directly sponsored by them, I have found you this great deal over on Amazon.com - it also comes in slate grey and black - groovy!)

But most importantly, you'll need my fr

DIY PAPER CACTUS EARRINGS (WITH FREE CUT FILE)

Could a cactus project get any cuter than these DIY paper earrings?! I just adore these prickly plants, even though these particular saguaros couldn't get any smoother to the touch. Overall they measure just over 1 1/2", but you can adjust the size to meet your needs in your Silhouette software (if you don't have one, don't miss out! The Silhouette CAMEO 3 4T wireless starter bundle, including the cutting mat, is still under $200 on Amazon.com!) Since I did most of the work

DIY RHINESTONE ICE CREAM CARD (WITH FREE SVG)

Sparkles galore! No one would ever believe that this gorgeous ice cream card made with dollar store bought rhinestones is a DIY. But in order to make one, you'll need a Silhouette CAMEO. That's because it would be a little difficult making the cone look like a waffle cone using paper without one. If you don't have one you can certainly skip the step, and use alternative methods such as a brown marker. Once you open the file (first download it HERE!), you'll have to separate

A BRIGHT & COLOURFUL PAPER "SUMMER" GARLAND

We are officially in summer friends, and I am getting into the spirit with this pretty and vibrant summer garland! Being a paper lover, I always say that the right paper makes the project.

Once you've got that down, here's what else you'll need to complete this garland to decorate your home, back deck, office, etc.! TOOLS & MATERIALS: Bright card stock (such as Craft Smith's 12" x 12
