Note Cards & Tic Tac Toe

Once again, I have two projects for today. The first one is a note card from this file:

 

This was so fast and easy to do, it wouldn't take very long at all to make up a set as a hostess gift as you are running out the door.

 

 



 After printing and cutting the note card and envelope out, I inked my edges then I added some leaves using a small leaf stamp from my stash, some shinny leaf  confetti and a piece of twine on the edge.

 

These would be useful for several different things, Thanksgiving dinner invitations, my favorite, tea party invitations, hostess gifts, actually a gift for any occasion.

Next I had more bottle cap fun, using up some more of these Fall Pockets bottle cap images from last month.

 

I wanted to make a Tic Tac Toe game that can go wherever you do. I left the outside a little bland. I started with a Silhouette file for the box, cutting the top, bottom and insert with my Cameo. I printed the, "Tic Tac Toe" with my Cricut.

 

I added the grid lines with my Cricut using Sure Cuts a Lot to trace a picture of the grid which I found online.

 



 

I cut the images out, inked the edges then adhered them to the inside of the bottle caps then I coated the entire inside of the caps with Glossy Accents. I made 5 scarecrow pieces and 5 cactus pieces. All of the pieces fit inside making it easier to find them and to take them along wherever you go.

Thank you for stopping by to take a look.

Autumn Blessings Pillow Box

Hello and happy Wednesday! Isn't it hard to believe we're more than halfway through October and well into autumn?

With that in mind, I'm so pleased to share a tutorial for a lovely pillow box using the Ewe-N-Me Printables Autumn Blessings Pillow Box. This project is perfect for fall and Deena makes it super easy to create.

The image prints out on an 8.5" x 11" sheet and I printed it on white cardstock.

I cut out the image and followed the directions on where to fold and score -- it's that easy!!

Once that was done I inked the edges with black ink and started to shape the pillow box. The printed image has brown edges, but I used a darker ink to add even more contrast.

I used double-sided tape to attach the flap to the other side of the box.

Following the scored edges, I folded the sides inward to finish the pillow box. It's not necessary to glue the sides, but I added a bit of tape for extra reinforcement.

Isn't this just so lovely? 

I made several boxes -- they look great as part of my autumn decor -- they would be perfect for upcoming gift giving, too!
