Halloween Bendy Card

Good Afternoon!

You can tell that Halloween is around the corner as there are loads of Halloween-y films around and I have been scaring myself silly over the last few nights with them. I get so scared watching them but I do love a good scary film at the same time, as long as I have a cushion or duvet to hide behind.

You may remember the Birthday Bendy Card and the Easter one I did too, well today I have a Halloween Bendy Card Cut File for you, it says Trick or Treat and has 2 little pumpkins at the top and bottom. I think these would look great around the house as decorations and someone (sorry I forgot who it was who suggested this) did give me the idea of using vellum behind the front panel and popping a battery tea light inside, how awesome is that idea?

I simply cut my card from black card and added a square of orange card to the inside of the back panel to help the lettering stand out. When you assemble the card remember to pop the tabs in from the back to get the proper semi circle shape.

Another Jigsaw cut file & template

Hi There!

I have a jigsaw with more pieces as promised, this time with 16 pieces for slightly older children and as with the 9 piece Jigsaw in my last post you have a cut file version with a printable template version if you fancy hand cutting it. I made another magnetic Jigsaw for my example but they would also be great made of card.

I printed my photograph onto my magnetic sheet then cut a practice jigsaw and laid my image face down in the same spot for perfect placement. I cut my jigsaw 3 times on double cut to ensure that the sheet had cut all of the way through as the magnetic sheets I have are thicker than card stock. I finished a couple of points with a craft knife that hadn’t cut right through and popped it straight onto my fridge :)

Magnetic Jigsaw Stocking Filler Idea

Hello!

Some of my family came to visit over the weekend and I went shopping with Mum, all of the shops had their Christmas stock in so we took the opportunity to do some early Christmas shopping. I totally feel ready to start my Christmas projects now and I’m going to start right now as today’s project would be a great idea for a home made stocking filler (stuffer). I saw some A4 printable magnetic sheets in my local pound shop, 2 sheets for £1, bargain huh? As soon as I saw them I knew that I wanted to make some magnetic jigsaws for my little nieces and nephews, personalised with their own photographs on, to play with on the fridge.

So today I have a Jigsaw pattern for you, it has quite large pieces so it’s ideal for younger children, it only has 9 pieces, I will be posting a different Jigsaw pattern with more pieces another day. I have the Jigsaw cut file for you and a printable template version too if you fancy being brave and cutting it out by hand.

I printed my photograph onto my magnetic sheet then cut a practice jigsaw and laid my image face down in the same spot for perfect placement. I cut the jigsaw shape 3 or 4 times (double cut) to ensure that the sheet had cut all of the way through as the magnetic sheets I have are a bit thicker than card stock. This is how it looks on my fridge (this is not my child which is why I covered her face):
