Crafting with Kids - Personalizing with Vinyl - by Karen

This is a super fun craft that's very easy to do and a great craft for these summer days. If you have a craft-loving kid at home, they will enjoy adding their own personal touches to this personalized door sign.

I designed and sized my daughter's name using my electronic cutter and software. I then cut her name (and her friend's name, too) out of vinyl (color won't matter - I used basic black) and weeded out the extra.

For the next step, I prepped small 6x6 canvases and then applied the vinyl letters. For best results, make sure the vinyl is really secure to the canvas, especially around the edges.

Next is the fun part for the kids! Set them up with paints (we used acrylics), and let them paint all over the canvas. When they are done painting, carefully remove the vinyl lettering.

If your kiddos still want more, bring out the glitter, sequins, gems, stickers and whatever other crafty bits you can find and let them bling out their door signs. Here is my daughter's finished project.

Add a ribbon to the back and it's ready for hanging.

For this project I used:

SRM Vinyl | 6x6 Canvas | Acrylic paints and various accessories for decorating

Crafting with Grandkids by Susan & Sylvie

Today is a very special post because my Granddaughter Sylvie is our guest designer!

What happens when I visit with my grandkids?  Lots of love and hugs and lots of fun crafting!  Today I want to share with you what Sylvie and I made on my last visit with her in Massachusetts.  She loves the Just Believe stamp because last year when I was designing the new Bible Journaling stamps, she helped me design this one! 

And here's what we made!  And boy did we have fun! :)

We made cards, framable art, mini cards, and little notes and I love them all! 

Sylvie taught me quite a bit about stamping and pens.  We had a blast!

Crafting with kids is such fun!  They seem to have a natural feel for color and design and you can learn a lot from them! 

Join us tomorrow for more crafty projects  from our talented design team members. Follow us on Facebook or join any of our groups including groups for Bible Journaling, Planners and Vinyl. 

Hope you have a crafty day!

Thanksgiving Table Turkeys by Karen

Kids won't mind getting assigned to the "kids table" when they are greeted with these fun little turkeys! 

Start with a clear triangle box. Assemble and fill it with shredded paper (or maybe little treats for your little guests). Use a sharp craft knife to cut 3 "x" marks on each side. This is how you'll insert your crayons (the turkey "feathers") as shown below. They should fit nice and snug.

Decorate the front with a fun little turkey (mine is cut with my die cut machine) and clear border stickers. Don't forget to provide some paper or coloring sheets for the kids, too! For mine, I used a few stamps from the SRM-Faith collections to spell out "Give thanks to God" and will ask the kids to write or draw what they are thankful for. I can collect these and easily add them to my Thanksgiving scrapbook page along with photos of the kids. It will be a sweet way to remember the blessings of the day.

Thanks for visiting. Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful today!

For this project I used:

Clear Triangle Box | God Is Love Clear Stamps | Trust in the Lord Clear Stamps | We've Got Your Border Thank You Stickers

Kids Craft by Christine

Summer is coming up fast and it's always nice to have a few crafts stashed away to do with the kids!  Christine joining you today with a way to make a butterfly using our Original Tube and White Heart Lace Doilies.

All you have to do to create this is connect the bottoms of the heart doilies and then adhere those to the back of the tube!  Fill it up with candy of your choice! Easy Peasy!

Of course adding some googly eyes and a little smile up the fun factor!  Wouldn't this be a quick and easy treat for your kids or to do as party favors at a birthday party!?!
