Thanksgiving Name Cards {Top Dog Dies}

November 9, 2015November 9, 20151 Comment

Welcome to another Make It Monday! I’m excited to share a super quick project with you! Last year when I opened my Etsy shop, I added a few printables of Thanksgiving Tent cards – perfect for Name Cards or Buffet Table Menu Cards. And they looked darling! Here’s a peek:

This year, with the adorable Top Dog Pocket Pages Fall die set in my stash, I decided to have some fun with these already super pretty printables, but add a leaf to each card. I grabbed some pieces of fall colored cardstock and die cut a couple of the leaf shapes from the set. The details on the leaves from Top Dog Dies are just beautiful! I so love stitched details!

The printable place cards were printed on white cardstock on my home printer. Using a foam adhesive, I added a little pop and dimension to the leaves. To make all of the name cards pictured (I made 9 for this project), I think it took all of 15 minutes! Your guests would certainly be wowed with such pretty name cards and they’d never know it was such a quick project!

The table tents / place cards are available in my Etsy shop – in several different color combos, and each color combo comes with 2 sizes of tent cards. You can check them out here. For this project, I used the larger size (3″x3″ when folded) of the tent cards. They’re averrable via an instant download PDF. You can add your guest names using your PDF reader and just add text. Super easy peasy, even for the non-techie or crafty types 🙂

Well, I hope you enjoyed today’s Make It Monday and are truly enjoying the fall season! I’m looking forward to a little cooler weather and getting some cozy clothes out for cooler weather. This coolness might only last a few days here in San Diego, but I’ll enjoy every little bit of it 🙂

I love linking up at Simon Says – and this week the Wednesday challenge is “Thanks/Thanksgiving” – how perfect for this!

As always, thanks for stopping by my little colorful spot on the web! Have a joyful, creative, blessing filled day! And make sure you’re on the Clicky Chick Creates email list so you don’t miss a thing! Sign up here!

Make It Monday // Spring Party Printables

April 6, 2015April 6, 20155 Comments

Welcome to another Make It Monday! Are you enjoying the series? Our circle has shared great ideas and inspiration covering scrapbooking, card making, mixed media, digital scrapbooking, templates, paper crafting, party supplies, and so much more! Speaking of party supplies, I just created this watercolor Garden Party printable kit, inspired by my 8 yr old when she was wearing an outfit with these colors! I love when that happens 🙂

I decided to make a watercolor inspired set of party goodies that could work for a spring or summer birthday party but not just for kids. I really was envisioning this being ideal for birthday girls and women with class, elegance, style and great attention to detail! It just screams elegant garden party to me! Okay, maybe not “screams”, maybe more like a ladylike squeal-of-delight 🙂

My Etsy store is mostly stocked with physical items that get shipped to customers (lots of banners) and I love sharing my creations with customers throughout the US. But I wanted to created printable files that can be used to make a party banner, cupcake toppers, water bottle wrappers and straw flags anywhere in the world! How adorable are all of these?! The only tools you need is a printer, scissors and glue! But I love that anyone can feel like a maker and crafter using printables – it’s the best of both worlds, and super creative and easy!

You are SPEC-tacular! {Feeling Crafty}

February 12, 201519 Comments

Exchanging Valentine’s was always an exciting day when I was a kid. Not just receiving them on the day of, but the love and care that went into making them! As a kid, I remember choosing just the perfect box of Valentine’s from the grocery store. Picking my favorites to give to my best friends. Signing each of them and adding doodled hearts (oh wait, I still do the doodled heart thing!) ❤

Now, as a crafty mom, I love that my girls enjoy making their own Valentine’s, using stickers, markers, glitter and googly eyes! My 8-yr old had the idea to make paper glasses for all her classmates with the “spec-tacular” quote, but that proved a bit more challenging! So she settled for these cards we made on the computer and embellished after printing. Adding Stickles glitter glue and googly eyes gave these cards so much personality! We washi taped them onto mechanical pencils (a new fave amongst the 2nd grade trendsetters) and they’re ready to go! She was thrilled beyond belief to share these with her friends at school today!

If you’re still in need of Valentine’s Day cards for your kiddos, hop on over to my Etsy shop and check out these spec-tacular printables!

Have you heard of Etsy? Imagine an awesome global marketplace with creative, beautiful, handmade goodies, with sellers from around the world… and you’ve got Etsy!

I recently started selling my handmade creations – mostly banners and party paper crafts – and am thrilled to be able to share my creations with the world! I’m even selling kits for those interested in creating their own banners, but aren’t exactly sure what they need to do! Enter the “Blessings” and “Give Thanks” fall banners I blogged about here. AND I just added some digital downloads for those needing to have quick and easy access to get their creative fix with an easy downloadable project, too!

Have you checked out my shop? Or have a friend that loves creative products? Or a friend that loves supporting small businesses? I’d really appreciate it if you’d send them my way at https://www.etsy.com/shop/ClickyChickCreates Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My goal is to add a few items weekly, so please be sure to check back in often and hopefully something will catch your fancy that you just can’t live without! And if there’s anything you’ve seen on my blog that you’d like to see listed on Etsy, just drop me a note in the comments and I’ll do my best to make it happen!
