Freebie Word Art

Good morning all! This weekend, I saw my first true sign that spring is coming ... my husband shaved off his beard and cut his hair short.  He was looking kinda like a Grizzly Adams type, a mountain wildman.  Now he looks a a least a decade younger!  Took me two days to get used to seeing his face again, but it's still cute.
Found some word art I never got posted, so here is another free download for you.  Some good words to live by, I believe.  Let me know if you'd like to see something special, I'll see what I can do.

You can download the JPG file HERE.   You can download the PNG file HERE.  And for the first time, I saved it as a PDF ... let me know if that is something you'd like to see happen more often.  Enjoy and be crafty!  - Kat D.

Another free printable tray box for you.

The tray boxes I made for Easter were so popular, I had to make another one. This one is a sun, in celebration of SPRING!  We had one whole day of spring here, then snow for the next several days.  Sigh. I'm planting seeds indoors to deal with my spring fever.  This tray would hold several seed packets nicely!  If you need it, follow the tutorial on the bunny box to see how it folds.  You can print this one on the white side of printed card stock, or if you don't have any the right size, like I didn't, you can try what I do.  I printed mine on plain white cardstock, then used adhesive spray to add colored paper to the outside.  I use a big cardboard box as a spraybooth (next to an open window) and spray both back sides.  Wait one minute, then CAREFULLY put the papers together.  Voila, printed cardstock from paper.

You can retrieve your freebie from Box.  The JPG is HERE.  The PNG is HERE.

FREE Bunny Tray with alternate colors

Yesterday I posted a printable tray template with an Easter theme.  I included the tutorial just to help with the "how to fold" question.  Then I realized that you, like me, might have a friend who is "allergic" to pink. So here is the same tray with alternate colors.  Hope you can use it!  

You can download the PNG file HERE.  You can download the JPG file HERE.  Have fun!  Feel free to share, leave a link to your project.  KAT

A free bunny tray box printable download and my first tutorial to go with it.

I like to make little open treat boxes for easter.  I'm thrilled to share this one with you.  Fill it with goodies, and have a pretty picture underneath for when it's emptied!

This was so easy and quick, you could probably make several in an afternoon, and have great fun doing it.

Print it out on white (or light pastel, but the colors will change) 8.5 x 11 cardstock.  I used 110 lb smooth.

Cut it out as shown, and score and fold panels inwards.  Flattening your creases helps make a cleaner, squarer box.  You don't need a bone folder, an old gift card or credit card works fine.

Glue the little tabs and get them tucked in nicely under the side flaps.  Clothespins (these are the smaller kind) work great to hold the glue while it drys.  I used rubber cement because it is so forgiving and doesn't cause warping, but use what you are comfortable with.  I could have used sticky tape, but didn't think of it until I got to the lace part.

Fold down the other flaps and glue in place.  Tray is done, now decide how to decorate it.  At this point, anything goes, or you could even leave it plain.  

(I had an image of the various choices I had on my table for ribbon, decoration and such, but for some reason it wouldn't upload, even after I waited a couple of days.  Like I said on my last post, this really hasn't been a good computer week for me.)

I used sticky tape around the edge, which made it really easy to put on the lace.

This lace is fairly elastic, and I pulled it a bit tight, so it bends kind of inwards.  A stiffer lace, or paper lace, would stand up better.  I almost folded it over & out.  I encourage experimenting, it can be so much fun!

I decided on the flower and butterfly ribbon to go around the sides.  I used a thin line of tacky glue. Simple, but pretty, don't you think?

You can add a handwritten message to the bottom of the tray.  I found it works much easier if you do it BEFORE you build the tray!!! Then just fill with goodies.  Hmmmm.... candy, mini muffins or cupcakes, a brownie, more candy.... oooh, this is gonna be fun!  Finish it off with plastic wrap if you choose.

2 Free Bird Doodles from Covered in Glue - CU OK

I'm on a roll here, finding stuff to post from my "mine" folder.  Unfortunately, while posting this, I accidentally erased an entire folder from BOX.  (Seems that I'm having one of those weeks!) I tryed to fix it, but if you find any missing files, please let me know.  Also, since I haven't used BOX in awhile, let me know if they change policy or anything.  I use them because they are free and easy, but mostly because they don't make the downloaders wait or join or other annoying stuff.  If that changes, I'd like to know.

This silly little bird above was me learning a new program and using my tablet, which I'm still not familiar with.  You can download the PNG file for it HERE.

The bird doodle above was pretty much the same thing.  He's simple, but kinda cute, I think.  You can download the JPG HERE or the PNG HERE. Hope some of you can use these, feel free to use however you wish.  Thanks for visiting!

Kat D,

Word Art Freebie , and an apology...

Just got back, and I'm already messing up.  Really, like how did I not notice until today that I left the "s" off of "grows" on the seed packets.  Duh.  Sorry about that.

Well, here is another word art; one that hopefully is spelled correctly.  This I made for a friend who was deserted by most friends and family when he messed up and landed in jail.  I stuck by him, right or wrong, because I believe in forgiveness and second chances.  It was a hard choice, but I had to do it.
 I hope you like it!

Long time, no post.  Sorry about that, but it seemed the longer I stayed away, the harder it became to post something new.  Extra specially because I didn't have much to show.  I was trying to get my health back in line, and seemed to spend all my free time finding recipes for things I could actually eat, and then cooking inedible meals from those recipes.  Well, at least I lost 30+ pounds!  So, boo-hoo, not much crafting, but there IS a silver lining in every cloud!  I did find a few things in my computer files that I don't think I posted before, so I'll try my best to get them up as I can.  This offering is something I'm not sure you can use, but maybe you can fill them will small candies, or edible seeds, or a "surpise" seed or something else and handwrite what it is.  I don't even remember what I made them for, but I really like the quotes! Try printing them on pretty paper and maybe emboss.  As always, have fun, use them as you will, and if you have a moment, leave me a note.  Thank you!!!  Kat

We've been enjoying the summer here, and the lovely cool mountain nights.  Not crafting too much, it's too damp here for papercrafting in the summer.  We don't have air conditioning, which would dry it out some.  What we do, when it's too hot, is open the basement door (we have a stone cellar, built 1850) and put the fans upstairs on exhaust.  That pulls the cool air through the house... really!  It works!

I've got another word art freebie for you today. This is a W. C. Fields quote.

The font for "SMILE" is called "Easter Sunday".  You can grab the free PNG file for this wordart HERE, and the JPG file HERE

--Have fun!  Kat D.
