Here’s what the sheet looks like printed out:

All you will need is white cardstock, paper trimmer, and a either an x-acto knife or sharp pointed scissors. The sheet will print out with some very fine, light grey lines on it. Just cut along those lines, trim the scalloped shaped area out and fold both pieces in half. You’ve got two cards and the only scrap is a little rectangle of cardstock!

This is probably my favorite! I had it designed to say Just Because but my husband was watching and suggested that I put underneath that: friendship doesn’t need a reason. How clever is he? So there you have it, a collaborative project!

Click on the pictures below and they will take you straight to the PDF to print out. Be sure when you print them out you Don’t scale to fit the page. Just print it exactly like it is. This will make sure that the sizes and placement come out correctly!

Happy Crafting!

Today’s project is super quick. Just print the PDF on cardstock (download here), cut down the middle, embellish as needed, and you’ve got two Valentine’s Day cards. I love how simple they are, and I love how the text plays with the positive and negative space. Try tying a ribbon around, or adding a few rhinestones. Next week I’ve got a quick home decor project and a mini floral arrangement lesson for you!

And if you’re wondering why the project is so super quick today, it’s because I’m working on some new items for the store, like more stamp sets and a new sewing pattern! I am SO excited! They’re looking great! I can’t wait to share them with you soon!

Happy Crafting!

Just download the PDF by clicking here. It includes one complete box and four sentiment hearts for the front. They say:
SWAK
Love, me
Happy Valentine’s Day
XOXOX

The PDF will look like this:

All you’ll need is:
1 sheet of cardstock per box
12″-15″ of coordinating ribbon
foam tape

Just cut around the edge of the box, fold the bottom and top on the slightly curved line, fold the tab and use double sided tape to close the box. Tie a ribbon around the box, and use foam tape to adhere your sentiment onto the front! You’re done! They’ll fit a few candies, or a cookie! Yum!

Happy Crafting!

I started with the $1 bottle of soap from Wal-mart. (For your project, any clear soap will do, as long as the label is easy to remove, and there’s no printing on the actual plastic bottle. This had a sticker on the front and the back but they were easily removed.)

Print out a few words onto a transparency with a laser printer. (Don’t use your inkjet printer because the ink is NOT waterproof. Print out what you’d like and take it to your local copy center and have them make a copy onto a transparency.) I made my images about 3″ high by 2 1/2″ wide. After I cut them out, I trimmed them down by holding them up to the bottle to get the approximate size. I also rounded the corners which made it look a little nicer. To insert it into the bottle just roll it up and stick it into the top. It will unroll by itself once it’s inside the bottle. If you need to adjust it at all just use the pump. When it’s in the right spot, just screw the top back on with the pump behind the transparency. Tie a ribbon and you’re done!

And, I left work so quickly today to catch my train that I forgot to email the word art to myself so I could post it to share with you. As soon as I get it tomorrow I’ll edit the post with the link, then you can download the words I used above and use those if you want. :)

Edited: Here’s the link for the downloadable PDF. When you download it, just print at normal scale and it will print to the correct size. A preview of the file is below. You can make 8 different soap bottles with the file. Download it here.

Have fun!
