Mix and Match Felt Owl Bookmark

June 25, 2018 by Habiba Elkaihel 1 Comment

Hi, I am Habiba from Craftify My Love. I am a friend of Pam’s from Germany and get to teach you today how to craft this cute mix and match felt owl bookmark.

The cute purple owl with the amazing pink hairdo from the photo above was sort of my prototype. I’ve made it right before I went to my friends birthday party as a last minute accessory to the gift card from a local bookshop. Can you tell she loves to read, too?

And yes, she is a grown up. And yes, I made her this very young, almost childish little felt owl bookmark. This is how I roll, lol.

Make a Cactus Dish Garden

April 25, 2018 by Pam Larmore 11 Comments

This Cactus Dish Garden brings three of my hobbies together. I love creating, flower gardening, and thrifting. The funny thing about thrift store projects is that you can’t really plan them, since you never know what you’re going to find. I’ve taken trips to Goodwill where I come out with bags full of “upcyclables” (Yes, I totally made up that word.) However, sometimes I’ll go to several thrift and consignment stores and not find anything that catches my eye.

Make Paper Roses With the Cricut

April 7, 2018 by Pam Larmore 9 Comments

Paper flowers of all kinds are so popular in the crafting world. They can be made from tissue paper, book pages, or card stock. When I first started making cards, the only way to make all of the beautiful blooms was to trace patterns and cut them by hand. With the introduction of cutting machines like the Cricut, making all of these flowers is quicker and easier. Here’s a tutorial for making Cricut Roses to use in all of your crafting projects.

Cricut Adult Beverage Set

I’m having one of those weeks…well one of those months actually. My 17 year old dishwasher and washing machine are on their last leg, the dryer sounded like a machine gun, and we have a bath tub leaking between the walls. To top it all off, my husband and I are in the process of ordering new windows and doors for the entire house. Cha-ching!

The sayings on this pouch and mug are perfect for me right now.

DIY Plant Markers Using Clay Pots

My two favorite pastimes are crafts and gardening. This project incorporates both. I love all kinds of plants. It doesn’t matter if they are trees, flowers, vegetables, or herbs, they all hold a special place in my heart…and my yard. These DIY Plant Markers are a wonderful addition to my herb garden. They will also help my family to know what to pick when I say, “Can you bring me some dill?”

Easy Wedding Centerpieces

March 13, 2018 by Pam Larmore 7 Comments

Throwing a party can be expensive, and you might as well take out a second mortgage to pay for a wedding. Don’t get me wrong, I wanted my daughter to have a day she will remember for years to come, but I didn’t want to have to “go in hock” for her to get it. We splurged on a few things, but we cut corners in other ways. These easy wedding centerpieces were one of the ways that we trimmed fat from the budget so we could afford a fabulous photographer.

I L-O-V-E- Easter! I’m a huge fan of chocolate, like most women, but the best part of Easter is that it’s in the spring. And I love everything about spring.

Here’s an Easy Easter Decoration using supplies from the Dollar Tree.

I’ve been using adhesive vinyl for over two years, but I remember when I first got my Cricut Explore. I was so confused about what Vinyl Transfer Tape is and how to use it. I’m going to show you my favorite transfer tape by Expressions Vinyl.
