Candy Sleds For The Holidays- Pinky Style

Good morning friends,

I though it would be fun to post a Christmas idea that

EVERYONE can do even if you are not a crafter!

I had seen a version of these candy sleds before and

thought I would make it my own and change it up a bit. 

When I was creating them my gf kept saying how fun

it was to use leftover wrapping paper and how easy it would 

be to do with children since there was no hot glue involved. 

Also no chocolate is melted!! BONUS! :) Everything remains edible. 

All you need it wrapping paper scraps, scissors, candy canes, 

candy- I suggest Kit Kat bars, little candy bars in varying sizes

and Xyron® 3/8" High Tack Adhesive Dots you could also

use the Xyron® 5" Creative Station™if you wanted. *optional*

First wrap the Kit Kat bar using Xyron® 3/8" High Tack Adhesive Dots

it's much easier than using tape for these small candy cards. 

Next place 4-5 Xyron® 3/8" High Tack Adhesive Dots along 

the bottom of each side. 

Adhere to the candy canes. 

This creates the base of the sled while maintaining the integrity 

of the candy cames and keeping the candy bar from melting. 

Next wrap 3 mini bars together. 

Now you can do this with the Xyron® 3/8" High Tack Adhesive Dots

OR the Xyron® 5" Creative Station™ by trimming the wrapping

paper to the right size. 

Running it through the Xyron® 5" Creative Station™ and 

creating a BIG sticker. 

Easy peasy to wrap that way. 

Use the Xyron® 3/8" High Tack Adhesive Dots to place 

Santa's candy gifts into place. 

Repeat with 2 mini cards then one. 

Wrap twine or ribbon around- add a bow! 

That's it! Easy- safe to make even for kids. Great for that accent by

a gingerbread house too!

Anyone can make these just give it a go! :)

Out Sick~

Good morning friends,

Yes it's true, I have been MIA due to illness.

The flu bug finally caught me on Tuesday and well...

I fell behind a bit! LOL

See y'all tomorrow with a new project! I was up last-night

crafting and able to eat a potato. So I have HIGH hopes for today!

~Playing with my SVG files, Cri-kit Pens, and Helmar V2 *FREE SVG for Pens!*~

Good morning!

Before I start there is a GIVEAWAY on Imaginisce TODAY!
HERE!

OK on to fun stuff
The only project I had time to work on this weekend was this
FUN make your own patterned paper project.
I am going to use this for a special project.
You might recognize the buttery from an earlier FREE SVG file
you can find HERE

I used a plain piece of cardstock (thanks hubby)
You can see it is textured and the Cri-kit Pens (Metallic) worked great on it.
I drew my shape on the paper with my Cricut, keeping the file open
on my SCAL for cutting the same size after.

I took a spare piece of scrapbook paper and cut out the butterfly with my Cricut.
Then I took the Helmar V2 (because it is re positionable) and I sprayed the back of
my cut paper and layed it OVER the cardstock with the drawn butterfly.
Next I took my Smooch Spritz (which totally rocks) and dries quicker than
some sprays, and I sprayed it over the masked cardstock.Looks how shimmery and shiny it is in person! OOooHH AahhhhHH Shiny LOL
I was thinking of making a Red, White & Blue baseball schedule clipboard.

Anyways, these pens are so much fun! I have hundreds of ideas in this crazy head.

Here is a FREE SVG especially made for Cri-Kit Pens!
(Or any pens for your Cricut)
Easy to draw and single lines.
I checked it out myself on paper and it works! :)
Just click the picture to download.

That's it for me today, I am working on a Spring Wreath this week
for Purple Cows and some new Imaginisce projects too!
It is going to be a great week.

We are BBQ-ing hot dogs tonight and the boys are so excited haha

~Have a great Monday~
~THANK YOU every single one of you for stopping by~
