DIY Pillowcase Transfer - FREE PRINTABLE

What a cute idea from Moodkids! They're offering this free printable iron on transfer over here. Remember to translate from Dutch if you don't speak Dutch!

This would be a great gift idea, or even a special treat for a little one moving from a baby bed to a big kid bed.

DIY Polka Dot Throw Blanket

Today is my birthday. Yay! Emmy and I are going to have a girls day out and go shopping. We celebrated with the family last weekend, so it's going to be a quiet one today. 

But on to more important things... Polka Dots! I love them; I mean I have a dangerous obsession for polka dots. I'm loving this DIY Polka Dot blanket that Say Yes to Hoboken put together last year before the holidays (which are right around the corner, might I remind you!). 

Get the 'how-to' here.

DIY Cat Pin

It was recently my sister's birthday and we love to make each other gifts for birthdays and Christmas. So I made her a felt pin look-alike of her cat, Chuck Taylor. What to do you get a girl that has everything? A cat pin of course! 

I also designed the card behind the pin and printed it on craft paper cardstock. I'm going to slip it into a cellophane pouch to give it a professional look.  

I got the idea and the tutorial over here from the always adorable and inspiring blog, One More Mushroom. 

I then wrapped up the little critter in some cute Kikki.K wrapping paper (the reverse side says "Happy Birthday" but I prefer the Geo pattern side). 

You can print the "You're Gonna Like What I Got For You" tag for FREE over here.

DIY Cloud Cushion

I found this DIY Cloud Cushion over at Livet Hjemme. It's made from IKEA fabrics. The original post is in Norwegian, but your trusty internet browser can translate it. I have some extra fabric laying around that would be great to use for this project. Lovely idea for a nursery.

NEST Free Printable: Chalkboard Tags

It always seems to be someone's birthday or a friend is having a baby, and it's a great idea to have extra gift tags lying around. I love wrapping gifts in simple brown paper with a coloured or natural ribbon and finishing it off with a personalised tag. 

You are more than welcome to print these tags that I made for you. They are not to be used for commercial use, PERSONAL USE ONLY. There are a few different styles of tags including, Happy Birthday, Thank You, a heart, plus more. They feature a chalkboard style background and different fonts. Print them on heavy cardboard paper for the best result. You can also put double sided tape on the back and use them as stickers! 

You have two different paper sizes to choose from, US Letter & A4.

I love this tutorial from Crafts Tuts+. They'll teach you how to make your own stamps and make your own tea towels. This would be such a lovely gift for a wedding, mom, sister, friend, house warming, etc.!

Featured Etsy Shop: Foryoo

Last year after we moved into our first house (yay!) I ordered an address stamp from Foryoo (the top one above). I was able to fully customize it and even made a couple of changes to the original design. They were more than happy to make the changes. I ended up getting the wooden handle stamp and I use it all the time! 

Last Christmas I got my sister an address stamp (the bottom one above), and she loves it. 

They offer fast and friendly service, and I highly recommend Foryoo. 

This is not a sponsored post, and I didn't receive any money from Foryoo for writing it. I just really like this Etsy seller!
