YouTube Tuesday-Budget Teacher Gifts

Pin It
Hi!  It's Kim from Katydid Cards with you to share another YouTube video!

Since many of us are preparing for for back to school (and all that entails), I thought I would share a video on teacher gift ideas on a budget...from a teacher.  Who better to tell you what teachers might need and appreciate.

She talks about them being great for Christmas and the end of the school year, but there's nothing wrong with gifting the teacher at the start of the school year and getting things off on the right foot (yep, bribery).

I hope you like this video and please do let us know if you make something you saw here.  We love that kind of feedback!

Before I leave you today, I want to remind you about the monthly challenge at Connie Can Crop.  The theme this month is "Anything Goes".  That makes it really easy for you to share your work of art!  One lucky winner, picked at random, will win $20 in free files!  

You can get all the details or, better yet, enter just by clicking here. 

Guest DT Nana Connie

I am so excited to announce our next Guest Designer for 2017 here at Connie Can Crop...

NANA CONNIE

from Grammy's Attic

So excited to have the very talented Connie joining us this month!

Here's some info from our wonderful guest dt

Hi!  I'm NanaConnie and I have the honor of being a Guest Designer for Connie Can Crop this month.  My own blog is "Grammy's Attic" and I'd love to have you visit.  I'm a Nana to 6, a Great-Nana to 2, and have been a crafter for most of my long life.  

Our sponsor for this challenge is Treasure Box and they have some really marvelous digital stamps, papers, and cutting files.  I chose to use this darling little kitten from the "Digi Pound Pals One" set of images.  From the look on his face, I just knew that he was feeling alone and left behind when his human kids went back to school and didn't take him along.

This card took off in an unplanned direction while I was working on it.  Ever have that happen to you?  I got it all colored, cut it with a simple rectangle die, and then looked at bits and pieces which were on my desk, left over from a previous project.  Because the golden yellow seemed to fit right in with his calico colors, I added the die cuts, framed out the printed sentiment, and added the corner triangle.  Voila'!  The card layout was done and all it needed was a bit of ribbon for a bow.

Enjoy, and come play with us this month, won't you?  NanaConnie

And here is her gorgeous card 

 

BE sure to stop by NANA CONNIE'S BLOG and leave her some love! She was an awesome Guest DT!!

DT Day with Paper Nest Dolls

Pin It

Hi, Sue from Sue's Paper Crafts with you today is my day to share my project made with this month's sponsor image from Paper Nest Dolls. I choose this cute mermaid to work with because I love mermaids and lighthouses.
 

 

 

I have had this little cutting board for a few months trying to decide what to do with it. It measures 5 1/2" tall (without the handle) x 4 1/2" wide. I got it at a little place called The Kitchen Collection, it was only a couple of dollars.

 

After I colored the image with colored pencils I fussy cut it then I coated the cutting board with a coat of Mod Podge. When the first coat dried I put a coat on the back of the cutout mermaid and adhered it to the board. After it dried I put another layer of Mod Podge over all of it.

 

I added some jewels and a ribbon.

 

Please come and join in the fun with this month's Watercolors challenge at Connie Can Crop.

YouTube Tuesday-No-Line Water-Coloring

Pin It
Hi!  Kim from Katydid Cards here with the final YouTube video on water-coloring.

I tried no-line water-coloring not too long ago and I loved it.  I can't wait to try it again soon.

In the event you haven't tried it yourself, here's a video to give you a jumpstart:

I was really surprised at how easy this technique was and yet it looks just like a real water-colored image.

Hope you give this a try and be sure to share it in our water-coloring challenge...you still have a few days left.  You can find all the details here.
