Welcome to the Kids Can Craft blog hop.
If you arrived here from Annette @ www.annetteasalinas.blogspot.com, you are in the right spot. If you just happened upon my blog today, you are in luck!! Please head back to Jen's blog so you won't miss a single project!
In case you haven't noticed... the hop today is all about kids!! My kiddos love to craft with me and I think this blog hop was a wonderful idea (Thanks Jen).
Both of my boys have a project to share today. Sorry that this post is a little photo heavy but it's totally worth it!
 |
| Owen made a total of six note cards. |
 |
| Owen's personalized stamp. |
He cut the pencil from Simply Charmed and assembled them and we worked together to print the notebook paper and added the "thank you" sentiment on my computer. The font is Peas Bhea Script (18 pt I think). These were cut at 2 3/4" x 2 3/4".
 |
| Here is the little gift bag he made. We used craft card stock here too. |
He made a little gift bag with Plantin Schoolbook to put the note card set in. He is going to give them to Ms. Corrina, our PTA president! :)
 |
| What a silly little boy! :) |
Second up is Bryce, my 8 year old. He wanted to make a pop up card similar to the one I made and shared last week. Bryce is a major Mario Fanatic!! So it was easy for him to pick Mario as the subject of his card.
We printed all the graphics from a Google search. I used Photoshop to size the images for the project. The front is two layers... one back ground (with black mat) and the close up of Mario is fussy cut and attached with pop dots.
The inside features the pop up Mario and a Life Mushroom in the spine. We cut out doubles of both Mario and the mushroom so we could attach them to both sides of the pop up. The message portion of the card matches the background of the front of the card (complete with black mat) but I've added a little white box in PS so there is a place to write a message.
 |
| Inside: view one |
 |
| Inside: view two |
 |
| Inside: view three (this is the back of the pop up center) |
Bryce needed a little more help with the assembly of his card, but he loves it and that totally makes it worth it!

| Bryce's personalized stamp |
 |
| Ha... his black eye is from running into the goal post while playing Soccer... he gets his grace from his Dad! :) |

Owen you did an awesome job on your Thank You Cards! I like the way you tied string, made it look like a notebook page and the metal on the pencil. Way cute and the holder was a great idea.
Bryce you did such a great job on the pop-up Mario card. It looks just like seeing the game on the TV. The ? boxes are way cool too. Love the card.
Thank You to both of you for sharing your projects in the hop.

My name is Dakoda, I'm 3. The card is like Andrew's game. **Translation - My uncle Andrew loves to play Mario games; it reminds me of the games that he plays.**
My name is Taylor, I'm 5. I like the pencil cards and the purse (sorry, anything that holds something else is considered a purse). :)
Mom - You boys did an AMAZING job!!!!! I think I need to make some of those Thank You cards with the holder for Taylor's Teacher (although the PTSA president is a good idea too). The Mario card is AMAZING!!! You did such an amazing job!!! Great job guys!!!!!!! I love the personalized stamps too (I may need to look into those). :)
Of course, I am a fan of FB!!!! :) What a fun giveaway. It looks like the swiss army knife of the crafting world. Thanks for the chances! They did a great job! :) Always such an honor to hop with you!!!! :)
what beautiful cards and talented kids! thank you so much for sharing!
I already liked your FB page! :)
they are so much fun! It's precious they want to create with you.
Your boys did an amazing job on their projects! I love the personalized stamps you got for them!

Great projects boys! I love that your boys want to craft - it is so important I think to have something you enjoy doing :) If I can get my kids to do something, we will post it. Thanks so much for that opportunity :)
OMG!! Both boys made amazing cards and I love the fact that they both have thier own personalization stamp. Great job, Guys. Keep on crafting, you are amazing!!

I'm so lucky and treasure the cards by Owen! I enjoy the fact that they are so kid friendly and usable. You are one talented and crafty family! ~Corrina
Great projects! Your boys are very creative!
Those are awesome cards. I didn't do any crafts like this when my kids were little. However I do have friends with little ones and I know that they would love to craft. As military wives you learn to band together and help each other out. This is what I plan to do is have crafting days at my house. Gives mommy's a little break. Can't wait to see more.
Your kids are so talented!!! I love what they created and I just adore the handmade stamps with their names on them, Great idea!!!
