Printable Baby Word Search

SURPRISE! Happy virtual baby shower Lauren! In honor of Lauren Lanker, her husband Mark and the baby girl they are expecting in June, a group of Lauren’s blogging friends have gotten together to throw Lauren a SURPRISE virtual baby shower. We have ideas for food, decor, games and gifts! I brought a game to the baby shower in the form of a printable baby word search.

I met the fabulous Lauren at the Florida Blogging Conference in 2013. She has a magnetic personality and I enjoyed chatting with her. I discovered that we both owned a Silhouette machine. The difference was that she actually used hers while mine was still in the box! A few months after the conference, I opened my Silhouette box and joined Lauren’s Silhouette Challenge Facebook group. Lauren blogs over at The Thinking Closet where she shares awesome projects. She has a unique writing style that I adore.

DIY Dr. Seuss Temporary Tattoos

My kids are still in elementary school so Dr. Seuss’s birthday is a big event at school. I created these Dr. Seuss temporary tattoos of the Cat in the Hat’s hat, the Lorax’s mustache and green eggs and ham to bring to the class parties! They are super easy to make and can be done in under 15 minutes with my printable file.

Supplies:

• Silhouette Printable Temporary Tattoo Paper (affiliate link)
• inkjet printer
• scissors or Silhouette Portrait or Cameo (affiliate links)

Instructions:

1. Download the printable PDF here or Silhouette Studio cut file here. These files are only for your PERSONAL USE.

The two files look different because of the required registration marks for the Silhouette Studio file. The designs in the Silhouette file are also closer together because I didn’t need to leave room for scissor cutting. I printed out and used the Silhouette Studio file in the tutorial photos below.

2. The Silhouette Printable Temporary Tattoo Paper consists of a printable sheet and an adhesive sheet. Use an inkjet printer to print the file out onto the glossy side of the printable paper. Let the ink dry for a minute or two. The printed designs will be the mirror image of how they will look when applied. This was a little confusing to me at first but I understood it after I applied the tattoo.

3. The adhesive sheet has two sections of backing. Remove the small green strip of backing. Line up the exposed adhesive with the corner of the printed temporary tattoo paper and smooth it down.

4. Carefully pull back the large piece of green backing a little bit at a time and smooth the adhesive sheet as you go. Make sure there are no air bubbles.

5. Use scissors to cut out each individual tattoo. The closer you cut to the border of the tattoo, the better the tattoo will look when applied. These are the temporary tattoos that I cut out with my Silhouette Portrait.

6. Apply the tattoos. Peel the clear adhesive off the tattoo and place the tattoo with the image face down on the skin. Place a damp washcloth or paper towel on the tattoo for 20 seconds. Remove the washcloth and white paper backing to reveal the temporary tattoo!

Coffee or Latte Container Christmas Gift Tags

My name is Kelly and I am addicted to chai tea lattes. We have a Tassimmo machine so I can make the single serve portions at home but every once in a while I go out to have a latte with a friend. A few weeks ago I took an Instagram photo while at Starbucks and inspiration struck.

The baristas wrote our names on our cups and that reminded me of names on gift tags.

Supplies:

• The supply list contains affiliate links.
• Silhouette Portrait
• Silhouette mat
• white cardstock
• patterned paper such as DCWV Christmas Stack or DCWV Christmas Glitter Stack
• kraft paper
• paper adhesive – Xyron 510 , Xyron Tape Runner or Tombow MONO Adhesive
• Sharpie fine tip pen

Instructions:

1. Download a file with the design (for personal use only):

• Silhouette Studio file (for use with the Silhouette Studio software)

• PDF file (added because of many requests)

2. Use the Silhouette Portrait, Mat and Studio software to cut out the different pieces. I used white to cut the container tops, craft paper to cut the container sleeves and patterned paper and glitter cardstock to cut out the containers. Each container is also backed with a container cut from white cardstock.

3. Apply adhesive to the cuts (except for the white cardstock container bases) and assemble them to create the containers. I used my Xyron 510 but you can use any paper adhesive.

4. Use a pen to write your to/from on the container sleeve. I used a Sharpie fine tip pen.

DIY Christmas Gift Tags With Scrapbook Paper Scraps And Free Cut File

I started paper scrapbooking 11 years ago so you can imagine the amount of scrapbook paper scraps I have. I store the scraps in folders and always look for ways to use them. When I had the idea for these Christmas gift tags, I knew using paper scraps would be perfect! There are four different tags featuring a star, Christmas tree, round ornament and gingerbread man.

{Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links}

Supplies:

• 4 2 inch x 1.75 inch scraps of scrapbook paper
• 1 8.5×11 inch piece of white cardstock
• Silhouette Portrait
• Silhouette Portrait cutting mat
• printer
• paper adhesive – Xyron Tape Runner or Tombow MONO Adhesive

Directions:

1. Download my free Christmas Tags cut file for Silhouette Studio. This file is only for your personal use. I cut the small rectangles of scrapbook paper with my paper trimmer but I also included rectangles of that size in the cut file.

2. Use the Silhouette machine, mat and white cardstock to print and cut the tags. Here are detailed print and cut directions for Silhouette Studio version 2.

• Open my Christmas Tags cut file in Silhouette Studio (SS).
• Place cardstock into the printer.
• Select File->Send To Silhouette from the SS menu.
• Choose Click here to print in the Print Image window.
• Select Continue to cutting page.
• Place the printed paper onto a Silhouette mat and load into the Silhouette.
• Select Continue.
• Select Detect Automatically. The Silhouette will now detect your registration marks so it will know where to cut the design.
• Select Cut.

Remove the tags from the Silhouette mat.

3. Pick one tag. Add paper adhesive to the back of a piece of of 2 inch tall by 1.75 inch wide piece of scrapbook paper. Hold it underneath the opening in the tag and line it up as desired. Fold the other side of the tag down and press down on the scrapbook paper. The scrapbook paper should now be adhered to the inside of the to/from part of the tag.

4. Add adhesive to the inside of the cutout part of the tag. Then fold the tag and press the two different sides together to seal the adhesive.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each tag.

Your tags are ready for gifting!

LEGO Inspired Printable Name Tags

My daughter is going to be Olivia of LEGO Friends for Halloween. The Olivia costume is easy. Olivia is a real girl who wears a purple skirt and a pink shirt with hearts on it. Kara was afraid that people wouldn’t recognize her costume so she asked me to make her a name tag. This was easily done because I just altered the LEGO inspired backpack tags I made a few months ago. What I do for my daughter, I also do for my son so there are two versions of the name tag. One version uses the LEGO Friend colors and the other uses the classic colors.

There are three printable versions of the LEGO inspired name tags you can download for personal use only:

• PDF with name tags in classic colors
• PDF with name tags in friend colors
• Silhouette print and cut file with classic and friend colors

I used my Silhouette print and cut file to print out several versions of the name tag for Kara on Silhouette printable white sticker paper (affiliate link) to use for all our Halloween events.

We went to a trunk-or-treat this weekend and Kara was thrilled that someone recognized her costume!

LEGO Inspired Printable Backpack Tags

Both of my kids are obsessed with LEGOs. They have been building, rebuilding and inventing their own creations all summer long. When I asked them what kind of backpack tags they wanted, they both happily agreed on LEGO inspired tags.

 

{Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links}

I designed two different LEGO inspired backpack tags. Colin’s tag uses the classic LEGO colors and Kara’s tag is the same colors as her LEGO Friends sets. You can make these tags for yourself with my printable file.

Supplies:

• my printable backpack tag file (download in Step 1 below)
• 3M Self-Seal Laminating Pouches (2.7 in x 4.5 in) (affiliate link) or Swingline Luggage Tag with Loop Laminating Pouches (2.8 x 4.5 inches) (affiliate link)
• 8.5×11 white card stock
• Silhouette or paper trimmer or scissors
• printer
• pen

Directions:

1. Click here to download the PDF or here to download the Silhouette print and cut file. These files are only for your personal use. I would appreciate a comment if you download.

2. Print out the tag(s) and cut them out. For detailed print and cut instructions for the Silhouette, search for “Directions for Silhouette Studio” in this post.

3. Take one self-sealing laminating sheet and place the clear side down. Place the tag facing down on the clear surface. Make sure to center evenly. Bend the top sheet back to separate the white backing. Roll the the backing across the back of the tag while smoothing it down. Smooth and seal the edges with your fingers.

Here are two completed tags.
