DIY wedding gift!

06:30 Natalie Karine 0 Comments

Hello friends! I wanted to share a special gift that I made for my friend Naomi who recently got married. Before I show you, let me tell you a little bit about her.... For the past two years, Naomi has had major challenges with her health (Check out the little video I made for her fundraiser). Nonetheless, she lives every day seeking peace & beauty, enjoying every moment offered. She is grateful for the things in her life (including her long lost love whom she just married...Hollywood movie or what?!) and has such a positive attitude.

Little lady you inspire me! ♥

 Hi there! My beautiful friend Naomi got married last week and I wanted to make her a beautiful handmade gift full of love. So I started with a handmade card! I call it a "wedding map" and it's oh-so easy to do! I even made a second one which I framed and included with my gift! Wanna make one?

Materials
❤ white cardstock
❤ patterned paper & red paper
❤ glue stick
❤ scissors
❤ pencil
❤ printer & computer
❤ outline of the province/state in which the wedding is taking place.

DIRECTIONS ①  Type out wedding info : the name of the couple, date and city of the wedding and print onto a  sheet of white cardstock. ② Print and trace the shape of the province (or state) were the couple is getting married. ③ Cut it out and glue onto the cardstock. ④ Add a heart on the city where they are getting married (here, the happy couple got married in Ottawa .Ontario)! Hooray!

The finished product.... framed!

Having so much fun with stencils these days!

Fridge Friends!

15:11 Natalie Karine 0 Comments

Hi there! A friend of mine recently celebrated a birthday and I wanted to make him a special gift! So I decided to make him a slighty creepy gift that I titled fridge friends! I printed tiny images of his favorite people onto iron-on transfer paper and placed it onto colourful fabric. Then I covered some buttons with the decorated fabric and glued a magnet on the back! It's basically Fabric-Covered Magnets...with pictures! Now, we can always all hang out...on his fridge!

Hooray!

After ironing-on the images, to cut them in small circles!
