Let's get started early on the Christmas season.. I'm making 18 tags from one 12x12 sheet of cardstock and using my DIY Hole Reinforcers from my last video. In the video, I show you how I decorated my tags as well, but use any stamps and dies of your choice. The main idea is to show how I cut my cardstock to get 18 tags from one sheet. This comes in handy for making your tags in bulk for the season.

I'm a homemaker, hobby crafter, and DIYer. I love ALL things craft related. I love to try new crafts and I'll share with y'all whatever craft I'm trying next. Sometimes I might know what I'm doing and sometimes I might be trying it for the first time with you. Come along with me! Let's craft and learn and have fun!

Punch Art Fishies
These fun little fishies are so easy and this is just a tiny glimpse of all the different ways you could create a fish. I used a teardrop shaped tree top die for the body, but you could use a leaf, teardrop/raindrop shape, and so much more. Just use your imagination and get Craftie!

~~sorry.. the exact teardrop shape dies that I used are no longer available. If you purchased those from my previous videos, you're good to go! If not, I have some options listed below for you that would make excellent fish components OR just explore your stash and create fish from elements you've already got. You'd be surprised at how you can use your dies if you just look at them a little differently. Please join our Facebook group Craftie Minds and share what you come up with: www.facebook.com/groups/craftieminds ~~

9 pc. Leaves Die Set (an old fave! I've used these in several punch art projects and they would be great for the fish body):

The next 2 sets contain simple leaf AND double leaf pieces that could be used for BOTH parts of the fish:

Washcloth Fish ~ Guest Room Decor
These washcloth fishies are not only adorable for your guest bathroom, but they are useful for your guests as well because we're keeping everything in tact without using glue or anything that would ruin the usability of the cloth or the soap. The googly eyes are adhered with just a foam sticky tab and the tail fins are bound with a simple rubber band. Both of which are easily removeable without damage to the washcloth or the soap inside. This way the guests can use them on their stay. Inside I used a Dove Beauty Bar but any oval shaped soap will do to make the fishy shape. These are simple and inexpensive to create. I think little washcloth critters and such add an extra touch to the guest room and just give something fun to your guests using the bathroom essentials that you would have available to your guests anyway.

How to Flatten Bottle Caps with a Cuttlebug
So cool and so much fun! I was hesitant to risk the safety of my Cuttlebug for this but it works great! No problems at all. In fact it was easier to crank through than regular cutting with dies! It's super easy and now I only need to purchase open bottle caps but I still have the option of using them either open OR flat. In my YouTube video I'll show you how I did it and show you the Cuttlebug plate sandwich that I used to perfectly flatten my bottle caps. I had a blast trying out this process and I can't wait to get started on some crafts with bottle caps!
