4th Grade Valentines 2016

My daughter loves puns, so this was a fun one to put together for her.  It was pretty easy, too, thanks to a pdf I found online.  I just printed it, cut it out, taped the Blow Pop to the back and added some curling ribbon.

 

Thank goodness it was easy.  We had a lot going on and had quite a few to make!  

Hope your Valentine's Day was wonderful!

Preschool Valentines 2016

Happy Valentine's Day!  

These are the Valentines that my 4 year old took to school for his classmates on Thursday.  It's an oldie but a goodie for our family - I made these for my daughter's preschool classmates as seen here.  

I used a favorite stamp set from the 2015 Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog to add a few coloring sheets to go along with the crayon.  

 

 

Everything packaged up!

My little guy writing his name for the back of each gift.   

 

He was pretty excited to take these to school!  

Stay tuned for my daughter's class Valentines! 

Stampin' Up! and School Projects - Part 2

Here's another of my daughter's school projects using Stampin' Up! products (see her race care here.)  One of her homework assignments was to help disguise this turkey so that it could survive through Thanksgiving.  She chose to make it into a mermaid.  We used the Bow Die to create the tail.  I die cut the 'tail' from a scrap piece of paper and then enlarged it on the printer until we had the size we wanted to use.  We cut that out and used it as a template to cut the tail out of felt.  We punched a scrap piece of paper using the scallop circle punch and used that as a template to cut the bra out of felt.  Then we added some yarn hair.  Fun!

Stampin' Up! and School Projects - Part 1

Before I start showing a lot of the holiday projects I've been working on, I thought I'd share a few projects that I helped my daughter with using my Stampin' Up! supplies.  Who knew they'd come in so handy?

For the past 2 years, my daughter has participated in the Awana Grand Prix using a Pinewood Derby car kit.  Last year she made a hot pink car based on one of her brother's toy batmobiles and ended up with 1st place in Speed (we used glitter spray on that car).  This year, she wanted a turtle car - she loves the PBS show Wild Kratts and they have a ship called The Tortuga.  SO, our version of The Tortuga was born.  My husband did an awesome job creating the turtle shape on the car.  He then spray painted the car gray.  Meanwhile, I created a template using Honeycomb Embossing Folder.  I embossed copy paper, then used an exacto knife to cut out the insides of the honeycombs.  We taped the template to the car and sprayed painted the green. Voila!  We had a Tortuga.  Her car was very fast, but she wanted to go for 1st in Design and she won!
