How to make a Springtime Delights Resin Magnet

April 4, 2017Leave a comment

I have to admit, working with Resin intimidated me at first.

With a little practice, I found that it’s really not hard and you can get some amazing results.

Especially when you start small. (Just make sure to read the package instructions)

My Springtime Delights magnet measures only 2″ x 2.

Materials: (*affiliate link)

Maya Road TIN003 Small Square Journey Tin
Envirotex Jeweler’s Grade Clear Epoxy Resin*
Paper House Productions STDM-0170 Welcome Spring 3D Sticker
Paper House Productions STDM-0176 Easter Egg Hunt 3D Sticker
Paper House Productions P-2007 Love 12” Double Sided Scrapbook Paper
Magnet
Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry Paper Glue*
Paper Cutter

Directions:

Cut and glue a small piece of scrapbook paper to fit inside of tin.

Arrange 3D stickers inside of tin. You may need to add extra glue under each sticker to make sure they stay in place.

Measure, Mix and pour the resin as directed in the product packaging.

Blow air onto the resin using a thin straw to help remove bubbles.

Allow plenty of drying time for the resin to cure before gluing magnet onto the back of the tin.

Easter Egg Hunt Sign

April 2, 2017Leave a comment

Any Easter egg hunts in your near future?

I whipped up this cute little sign for our Easter Egg Hunt using a DEFLECT-O Chalkboard Easel*

Simply embellish the easel with stickers and scrapbook paper for a quick DIY project.

Add your message with the chalk marker that comes with the easel.

For more fun, let the kiddo’s decorate the sign.

It also makes a cute sign to label your Easter Buffet.

Nick’s Garden Caddy (for Easter)

March 26, 2016March 26, 2016Leave a comment

As soon I walked into Target, a few weeks ago, I was stopped in my tracks by their adorable gardening

supplies for kids. (in the one spot area) I am a sucker for cute little things.

Sweet little metal tools and polka dot gardening gloves (oh my) and when I found the plain wood

caddy… I knew exactly what I wanted to use for Nicholas’ Easter basket.

Nicholas, as you may know, is my gardening buddy.

Instead of leaving the caddy plain (what fun would that be), I decided to paint and personalize the

caddy with a chalkboard on one side and his name on the other.

(I used Deco Art Urban Ink Stencil, 6″ by 9″, Sea Dogto stencil on his name.)

I went back to Target last week to see if I could find another wood caddy but sadly they were all out.

If you happen to spy one at your Target make sure to grab one, they make wonderful paint caddies.

Along with the Gardening supplies, I added tie-dye chalk (for the chalkboard), jelly bellys, a light up

ball and of course marshmallow peeps.

And… I didn’t forget little brother Warren. (I picked up all these goodies at Target)

In case your wondering… No this isn’t a sponsored post for Target. (but I wish it was)

Today, I’m joining the Paper House Design Team for a Easter Blog Hop.

For this hop, we were all given adorable Easter stickers along with the Faith Paper Crafting Kit.

I was racking my brain trying to come up with a cute Easter Bunny layout

(ready to steal pictures from my daughter-in-laws Facebook page) when it hit me.

Why not make a card instead.

Easter’s so much more than candy and eggs.

The Faith kit came with lovely white puffy words that wasn’t quite right for this card.

So…. I used my Tsukineko StazOn Midi Ink Pad, Spiced Chai(which is permanent)

along with an ink applicator and rubbed brown ink onto the white letters.

I used the “HOPE anchors the soul” sticker and stuck it onto a small scalloped

circle. I mounted the circle onto the corner of the card.

A simple card of encouragement. (who doesn’t need that?)

Would you like a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Paper House?

Good Luck and Happy Hopping!

Easter

April 21, 2014May 23, 20142 Comments

I love it when I get all my kids together in one place. We hadn’t all been together since Christmas.

Of course, I had to grab the tri-pod and get a family picture. We had a good laugh at all the takes,

one person in the group had too much Easter candy and kept running off. (I won’t say who)
