Fancy Tiles printable gift box

I've had these tile sets in my head for days, and my daughter picked up some towels recently which had a simple trellis design that reminded me to stop thinking about them and just draw them.

Stars and Stripes printable snack tray- New Template!

I hope you like this new snack tray! It prints out on a single sheet of card stock and the finished tray is 5x3 inches on the bottom and 6x4 inches at the top and 1.5 inches deep. As you can see, I used waxed paper to line it and protect it from moisture from the fruit. It's about a 9 inch square? I'm guessing- I didn't measure the square after cutting it.

It matches the printable stars and stripes gift box posted here.

Stained glass effect pumpkin gift box

It's nippy outside! After taking an enforced break due to an injury (pinched a nerve in my shoulder and my arm was going to sleep every time it was in the wrong position e.g.: drawing) I'm back and hard at work on my next coloring book.

I hope you enjoy this pumpkin printable gift box!

In other news- I'm still really wanting a pair of knee high Gipsy Dharma boots. I keep winding up on her site and just drooling over the gorgeous boots. 

The Amazing Turnip Girl has Twitter now! Look for @TATG_Kairi if you'd like to follow her. She and I are planning a wand tutorial soon. 

Rubber Duck Recipe Page

I seem to be on a rubber duck kick. This duck wants to cook for you!

This recipe page is available in both a black and white version to color and a color version. I'm still working on the PDF-fillable version because the new version of Acrobat is just enough different that somehow my forms keep wanting to send themselves instead of just being saved after being filled in. So for now, you'll have to write your recipe by hand.

I hope you enjoy this printable recipe page. Click on the images for a larger version to print!

Homemade Holidays 101 and a free printable snowflake box!

I'll be doing an update soon about what's been going on the last couple of weeks. But first, a brand new printable box and information about a great promotion from Workman Publishing.

They are having a sweepstakes, and you get a prize just for entering. The prize is your choice of one of 4 e-books. 3 are cookbooks, and one is a knitting/crochet book. Sign up for their newsletter and you're entered. It's that easy. You can sign up here- Homemade Holiday 101. Check out the blog for the cutest knit penguin pattern around while you're there.  Also they will be having fantastic deals on some of their great books for the holidays.

I'm not being paid to promote this or anything like that, but I'm a big fan of Storey and Workman books. They are great guides to self-sufficiency, cooking and crafting.

The grand prize? A Nexus tablet with some great e-books preloaded. (I'll be reviewing one of them soon!) and 5 runner ups will win a 25 dollar gift card to the online bookseller of their choice.

About the box-
It snowed. October broke all kinds of heat records for Alaska, then all the sudden, with very little warning, temps dropped and it's all white, snowy and frosty outside. Posting a snowflake of some sort shortly after the first snow is getting to be kind of a tradition here. I hope you enjoy it.

Rainbow Circles Box and a new bead project

I hope you enjoy this printable geometric rainbow colored circles box. The pattern occurred to me while I was reading a sword and sorcery adventure novel (I love Simon Green, it's one of my secret guilty pleasures) and worked out just right on the first try for the 3 inch repeat with the colors.

Currently (9-19-2013 to 9-25-2013) voting in Spoonflower's geometric contest. I'd love to see this pattern made into shoes if you want to vote for me, but there are a ton of great designs to choose from and you can vote for all of your favorites by signing into your Spoonflower account.

You can find instructions for this faux arm candy memory wire bracelet HERE. It's super easy and a great way to use leftover beads from other projects.

Spirals, dots and stripes printable gift box in 4 colors

I need to post more things on other templates and apologize for using my 2 "plain" templates so much lately. It's been super busy working on the new coloring book(!!), going to the state fair and well, life! But it should be quieting down soon so I can focus more on this page.

I hope you enjoy this box set. 4 colors of the same pattern. Click image for larger version, print on card stock, cut out, score folds, fold, glue!

Leaded Glass Effect Printable Boxes

4 colors for this leaded glass effect box which has an odd origin. My husband was in between jobs for a while, and while he was- we spent a lot of time going out and doing things like hiking, going to the zoo, and just working in the garden together. We also power-watched 6 seasons of X-files. A lot of the house doors in X-files have simple, geometric leaded glass in them, which inspired this box.

Red, White and Blue Popcorn Box

It's been a while since I've done a 2 page box, but this popcorn box seemed like a good idea. You'll need to print out both pages at "fit to page" or 8x10 inches. The finished box is 6 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and 2 inches deep. It will hold just over 3 cups of popcorn! The spots on the image above aren't on the box you'll print. They are buttery fingerprints.

If you're wondering why the version in my photo has that nice vintage, soft color and the versions above don't, it's because I printed it on Astroparche card stock in Natural. Astroparche is affordable, and adds a nice effect to a lot of printables.
