Robots and more Robots

Hi my crafting friends. Can you believe I made 52 of these for my 1st and 3rd graders for Valentines day at school. I scraplifted this totally cute idea out of one of my scrapbook magazines. The candy bars were perfect for Valentines day with the colors and hearts on them. No need to cover them with paper. This a big project and I couldnt have done it without  my Gypsy. I would not recommend doing this without a Gypsy or SCAL or some type of program like that. I was able to measure the candy bar and just type the measurements in that I need and I saved them so I could easily cut more when needed. I was also able to have a layer for each cut. You could even involve your kids and have them help you fold the arms and legs and put the base layers together if you wanted. I bet they would have a great time helping out.

Supplies Needed for Robots

Small Candy bars of your choice

Lots of Scrap paper for the various pieces

Glue dots to hold down the candy bars

Scotch tape to tape them closed

(otherwise they will flap around)

Stamps for fine tip markers for the face

White gel pen to do stitching around the hearts

I saved all the files on my Gypsy but the heart. I cut that at 3/4 in. on the George Cart. I used the shift and cut the heart in the upper corner on Shift lock. I would be willing to share the files with someone but I dont  know how to. So if anyone could help me with that  I would be forever thankful.  Happy Scrappin and Happy Saturday. Thanks for stopping by and as always I would love your comments.!!!!

Cootie Catcher

Remember making these in school with binder paper.? Well I have a much cuter and updated version of this for you today. This would be so cute to make for your kids for Valentines day or any day. Its fairly quick and easy to. I used my Gypsy and Expressions to cut the heart and numbers out. The hearts are on the Gypsy Wanderings Cartridge and I believe the numbers are from the Gypsy font cartridge. You could use punches or any cartridge that you have with hearts or numbers if you wanted to decorate like mine.

Supplies Needed

1 piece of Patterned Paper or Cardstock

Score Pal or other scoring too

A bone folder to use on creases

Supplies to decorate however you would like

I saw this video on youtube. The gals youtbe name is brokenroad2006 and the video is called Fortune Teller.

I did my inside a little different and wrote notes on each section. But you can do yours however you like. Happy Wednesday and Happy Scrappin

Mini Treat Holder

 Today I have a mini treat holder for you. This one would work well with the Hershey's Bliss candy. The rectangle ones. I scraplifted this idea from Tracy at Craft Junkie or http://www.craftjunkietoo.com/. I will give you a picture tutorial on how to do this. I believe Tracy did a video of this. Its one of her older posts so you will have to look for it. I will try to find the link and come back here and post for you. So lets get started.

Supplies Needed

Crop-a-dial or hole punch of your choice

A piece of card stock 1 1/2 x 5 inches

(I used double sided for mine)

Ribbon of your choice to match your paper

1 small flower

1 brad

Ink if you want to ink around your edges before you put together

Score Pal or other scoring device

How to Asseble

Step 1 Cut your card stock to 1 1/2 x 5 inches long

Step 2 Score your card stock at 1 inch, 2 1/2 inches and 3 1/2 inches

Step 3 Ink around edges 

Step 4 Fold and crease your score lines

Step 5 punch holes with Crop-a-dile at the 1 inch score mark, making sure not to punch to close to the edge

Step 6 Tie ribbon through one hole making sure that your knot is on the inside. Decide how much ribbon you 

will need to handle to stand up. Then finish up the other side.

Step 7 Assemble your treat holder and decide where you want your flower. The flower will hold the

whole treat holder together. Use a paper piercer to make the hole. A your flower and insert brad.

Step 8 Add your candy with a mini glue dot at the bottom, so it wont fall out and viola you are all done.

I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial. I would love to see what you make so leave me a comment and tell me where I can view your finished project.

Happy Tuesday and Happy Scarappin
