October 2017 Stickers

October is the month for pumpkin spice everything, caramel apples, candy corn and trick-or-treating! The weather is starting to cool off and the holiday season is just beginning.  Don't you just love this time of year! To help you celebrate the season you can download these free October 2017 Stickers. They come in pdf and png for both the Life and Happy planners. Use your Cricut or Silhouette cutting machine or cut by hand. Just click on the picture below. It will take you to the folder with all the files you need. 

This sticker paper is what I use to print my stickers. 

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!For the Craft Destash we are challenged to create a project using only items currently found in our craft stash. We were to make something new with crafty supplies or re-make an item we've been holding on to for a while. For this challenge I decided to make this Candy Corn Cutie outfit from a free svg file from svglove.com.

Candy Corn Cutie

Materials:

SVG File
1 sheet of black glitter heat transfer vinyl
Small scrap of white glitter heat transfer vinyl
Small scrap of yellow and orange everyday iron-on
t-shirt or onesie

1 yard of each yellow, white and orange ribbon in various width
Candy corn button
fancy elastic

This is really easy to make. Just download the free svg file and upload it to your cutting machine software. Be sure to remember to reverse your image before you make the cut. Then follow the manufacturer's directions for ironing onto the shirt using a heat press or iron. Since little kids grow so fast I usually just iron these with an iron as it will probably only be worn a couple of times!

To make hair bows I use my Bowdabra. But the Ribbon Retreat has some great videos on making hair bows without using one. After you make the bow, just glue the candy corn button in the center.  Then glue the bow onto a piece of fancy elastic that you sew or glue into a circle. You can also use a hair clip if the child has enough hair. 



  

Need an idea to announce your pregnancy? This cute image should be just the thing! 

Now that my daughter is expecting her first child, a lot of my posts will probably be baby related!

I created this file in Cricut Design Space using the free "Friends" font from daFont. If someone you know is due in November of 2020, you can feel free to get a copy of my file here. I then used the file to create a design in Canva. 

To create the design in Canva, first remove the grid in Cricut Design Space using the settings. Then use your screen snipping tool to capture the image. Create a new design in Canva. Find a onesie background in the images. Then upload the clipped image into Canva. Add it to your image then edit it to remove the background ( I love this feature!). Arrange the image on the onesie and you're finished! Canva saves automatically but you can download your creation for free or create prints at a cost.

If you need to create your own file for a different month, see this post for directions on how to use this font in Cricut Design Space. 

Do you know someone who is pregnant or planning to be soon? These pregnancy announcement t-shirts are the perfect way to let everyone know!

My daughter is 3 months pregnant this week and will be announcing her pregnancy this weekend. She wanted something special for her and her husband to wear to take a picture. These "Friends" designs were something she wanted so I was able to create them for her.

To create the design you can download the free "Friends" font from daFont. I made these designs in Cricut so I just used the system fonts and found this font that I had downloaded. 

Add text and type "the one where I become a" in one text box. Then create a new text box for each of the letters in Mommy or Daddy. Space those text boxes out. Add a circle shape and resize it to fit in between your letters. Change the color of your circles to red, blue and yellow.

When you cut your design, don't forget to mirror your image so that it will iron on correctly!

After you download the file just save it to your Cricut Design Space account and use it how you like. The fonts used in this design are Bubblegum and Childish. Both fonts can be downloaded from the DaFont website if you do not have them.
