Graduation is upon us and with two classes to finish for my degree, I am excited for it to be over.

NOTE to self: Get back to crafting.

NOTE to note: I can't wait.

Happy Mother's day in advance to all!

Finally - a new cutting file - WOW!

I was working on a banner and when I cut it - it turned out to be a perfect napkin ring instead. 

The file is available at the end of the post.

Each have a top layer and a bottom layer.  The first is a three snowflake napkin ring and the multi-snowflake napking ring.  Take a peak and follwing will be some tips on how to make this easy! Each file has a tab at one end and a slit in the other end for easy assembly.

~~~~TIPS ~~~~

1 - I used packing tape to the back of the top layer.

It is the perfect size to cover the snowflake.  It is easier

to cut the tape and lay it down to avoid wrinkles.

2. I used glitter (pour on top, lay paper on top and

rub it to get the glitter in to the snowflakes.)

Shake off the glitter and then wipe off any glitter that

doesn't come off with a paper towel to get the results below.

Here is the file (all four on individual layers, 2 tops and 2 backgrounds).  There are for personal use only and feel free to send others that may want the file to retrieve it from this location. Thanks so much for that.

If you want to keep them year after year - simply laminate.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Sew Happy pocket tag

I loved how this came out and the colors that came as I progressed.



I got the binding from a garage sale and I then used the Xyron runner to create the "happy" saying on it.



The red torn paper - has sewing patterns on it and isn't busy. I had saved (or should I say hoard) this for at least six years and so glad I did. Now what to do about the scraps left from it. Sewing image source is listed below. 

The Sew was printed out just on MSWord or regular (gasp) paper, then distress with the Mustard Seed Tim Holtz Distress ink. The tag was made with a dotted stamp and embossed with clear powder.  The border is Martha Stewart.

This is a button that can be considered green.  I punched a circle from a magazine image using the Epiphany Crafts punch - Round 14 button size.

Thanks for looking!
