Vintage Blossom Stickers ~ Free Printable PDF

   

   

My mother gave me some vintage wrapping paper that she found tucked in a drawer a few months back. While working on some giveaway goodies for you, I ran across it and just loved the bright colors and very vintage feel! (the pink and yellow pattern was the original.. the others I digitally mixed for you..)

Click on the above images to download and print out your own Vintage Blossom stickers. You can print these on the 8 1/2" x 11" sticker paper or you can print it on regular paper and use a glue stick to apply. such a fun way to dress up scrapbooks, arts, crafts, cards, gift packaging, tags, photos, use them as labels for boxes, whatever you can dream of!

*Use these images any way you'd like, just please DO NOT add them to a CD for resale or try to sell these images as is, I offer them up free and I hope for you to respect that. Thank you!

Free Reindeer Sprinkles Craft and PDF Download

A last minute gift bag stuffer for little and big kids, this is sure to spark the holiday magic on Christmas Eve... I remember sprinkling this outside and tossing a couple of carrots in for good measure with my 'daughter' who is now almost 21! She loved it! It most definitely helps bring in Santa's reindeer as he has never once missed our home.

 

Click on the above image for your free Reindeer Sprinkles printable cards. 

Recipe:  Take a large scoop of oats (I use quick oats) toss in some sugar crystals, cookie sprinkles in red and green, tiny pearls, anything that the birds and deer might fancy. Years ago we actually used glitter, but of course, that would be rather faux pas now as it is not going to dissolve in the snow and rain the way that candy sprinkles should.

Mix together, put a small scoop in a plastic baggie, cotton baggie, whatever you have on hand and tie with a bit of string, ribbon, yarn, you get the idea. Cut out the 'tags' from above and Voila! Sprinkle and enjoy!

Have a very merry holiday season! I'll be back after this weekend..

Bat Lampshade Tutorial ~ Halloween Decor

Here is a super quick, and very inexpensive way to dress up your lamps for Halloween. All you'll need standard black construction paper, scissors, tape and the template below.

 Just click on the image below to download and print out the template. (or instead of printing, open the PDF, size it 100% on the screen and lay a thin white piece of paper on your computer screen and trace around the template lightly with a soft pencil... saves ink!)

This design fits a standard small lampshade with a top diameter of 3" and a bottom diameter of 5".

First, place the open bat side of the template (see the arrow above) on the fold of a large sheet of paper (you can make one by taping two 8.5"x11" white sheets together.)  cut around the template but don't cut the folded side! Cut the half bat silhoutte out.  Place the template onto a black piece of standad construction paper.  (9" x 12").  cut around the outside, I used pinking shears to give the bottom edge a jagged look.  Wrap them in a circle and tape closed. Slide over your lampshade.

(Hint: and easy way to cut out the bat is to fold the black shade in half and then cut it out.)

These would be cute with spider images or pumpkins! (You can tape small face pieces to the shade after cutting out the pumpkin shape). Just a thought! You can also use this as a jumping off point for larger shades too.. just need larger paper or fabric.

Enjoy!
