I love a good interactive greeting card and scratch-off cards are amongst my favourites. It’s so much fun watching the suspense and surprise on your loved one’s face when they get a card that asks them to scratch off key parts to reveal a gift; I think it speaks to the little kid in all of us don’t you? ? And best of all, this kind of card comes in super handy if you’re giving your Valentine an experience (like breakfast in bed) rather than a physical present; you can still make the gift exciting and keep them guessing up until the very last minute! Materials
Step 1 In a small container, combine two parts acrylic paint with one part dishwashing liquid. This mixture will become the ‘scratch-off’ paint for your Valentine’s card. Step 2 Cut a strip of clear contact paper and, using a paintbrush, cover the contact with your metallic paint and dishwashing liquid mixture. Leave the contact paper to dry, then repeat this process with more coats until the area you’ve painted is completely opaque. Wait for the paint to dry completely before moving onto Step 3. Step 3 Download the heart template, print it out onto a sheet of cardboard and cut out one of the hearts with a pair of scissors. Turn your contact paper strip over so that the painted side is face-down. Using your cardboard heart as a guide, trace heart shapes onto the backing of the contact paper strip. Cut each of the hearts out with a pair of scissors. When you flip them over again, you’ll see you have silver scratch off heart stickers! Step 4 Download the printable Valentine’s Day card file. This file has sections where you can enter in the gifts you’ll be giving to your loved one this Valentine’s Day – simply open the file in Adobe Acrobat Reader or a similar program and type in the highlighted sections. Once you’ve finished filling in your gifts, print the card onto a sheet of white letter-sized cardboard and cut it out with a pair of scissors. Step 5 Remove the backing paper from the silver hearts you cut out in Step 3 and stick them on top of the three hearts at the bottom of the printed card (this will hide your gifts and make them a surprise for your Valentine to scratch off!). Then all that’s left to do is package your card in a nice envelope! Don’t forget to include a couple of coins so your loved one can scratch off the hearts to reveal their surprise gifts. ?

Via https://www.curbly.com/17599-roundup-10-cozy-diy-projects-for-winter Those of us who live in cold weather environments know the challenge of staying cozy without having to pay astronomical bills in the winter. Yes, there are a thousand ways you can renovate your home to help make your heating more efficient, but that doesn’t help you right now. This post is about practical tips and small purchases that can help you stay warm today without a renovation. If you live in one of those places where the weather is 80 degrees all year you might want to skip this post. Better yet, read it so you can survive when the weather drops to 65 degrees. We kid, warm weather dwellers. Believe me, all of us want to be you right now (and all year long). Read on for our best tips are keeping cozy this winter season. 1. Wrap up in a heated blanketDon’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it! I am always cold so my family purchased me the above heated blanket for Christmas. I use it every day. Modern day heated blankets have shutoff timers and overheat limits so they are totally safe. I use my heated blanket to keep warm while I am snuggled up on the sofa or sitting at my desk. The heated blanket keeps you from knowing really your furnace is turned down. 2. Shut doors in your house to create zone heatingMake sure you keep the doors shut to rooms you do not use during the day or night. This will help your heating source focus on the areas where you are spending time. This is called zone heating. Zoned heating is your friend in the winter because it maximizes the heat where you are.
Maybe while your doors are shut you can contemplate painting them a fun color like Nicole from Making it Lovely did in her hallway.
3. Shut vents in unused roomsThere is no need to heat your guest bedroom or unfinished basement if the rooms are not being used. This will force all the heat into the rooms that you do use. If you really want to be proactive, shut the vents to your bedroom during the day and open it back up about an hour before you go to bed. At bedtime, shut your living and kitchen area vents.
For extra coverage, magnetic vent covers can work well to cover floor vents. Ceiling and wall vent covers tend to come off but do work better if the vent is closed.
4. Use an oil-filled space heaterOil-filled heaters are the safer version of space heaters to use in your home. They do take a little while to heat up but they do warm up a space effectively, especially if you shut doors to maximize the space. Even though they are the “safer version,” you still need to be careful. Make sure you spend a little extra money for one with a timer and an overheat shutoff for safety reasons. You do not want to leave them on overnight or while you are away from home. They can be warm to the touch so like any space heater, it may not be good with little kids.
These type of heaters are really great for helping your pipes not freeze under a sink. Open your sink cabinet doors and place it next to the cabinet periodically throughout the day when its below freezing.
5. Purchase a portable electric fireplaceAn electric fireplace with high BTUs can really warm up a space. These are more expensive than space heaters, but most are safe to touch for the littles in your home. They are also very safe and efficient to run for long periods of time. I am getting impressed with the stylish options available these days.
If you have a non working fireplace you can tuck one of these into your fireplace like Megan Pflug did in her basement makeover.
6. Switch out window treatments for thermal curtains / add thermal curtain linersSwitch out curtains with thermal curtains or attach thermal curtain liners to your existing curtains. Windows can be the largest source of cold air entering into your home. Thermal curtains can help keep the cold air insulated. 7. Hang curtains over your front doorHanging a curtain over your exterior doors can be stylish and help your house feel warmer in the winter. 8. Open curtains during the day and close them at nightDuring a sunny winter day, let the sun in to warm your home. When the sun is down, shut them to insulate the cold air. 9. Hang a curtain at the top of your stairwellIf you have a two-story home use a thermal curtain and tension rod at the top of your stairs. Close the curtain the times of the day when you spend most of your time downstairs. Why? It is simple, hot air rises and the closed curtain can keep the hot air downstairs.
The top of my stairwell is a doorway sized opening so I can use a shower curtain tension rod to hang a thermal curtain. The above stairway curtain “how to” is over at Dandelion Discoveries.
10. After using your oven, keep the door open while it cools downMaximize the usage of your oven as long as you can. After you use your oven, keep the door open while the oven cools down. Of course, not the best thing to do if you have little kiddos hanging around. 11. Place rice heating pads under your sheets at the bottom of your bedWarm up a heated rice bag in the microwave and place it under your sheets. This is a safe way to keep your toes warm at night. Find this heating pad set on Amazon 12. Add insulated covers to your outlets and light socketsYour outlets and light switches can be a source for cold air to get into your home. This is true especially if you live in an old home where the walls are not insulated. If you live in an old home with original plaster walls…this applies to you. This fix requires no rewiring or electrician skills. You just need a screwdriver to take off the face plate. 13. Cover your home with window sill and door draft stoppersUse rice and fabric remnants to create a cute insulated window sill or door draft stopper 14. Lay down a rug or twoIf you have hardwood floors, rugs can help with cold floors. Check your local carpet store for remnants if you are on a budget. If there is no room in the budget for a rug, lay a blanket on the floor while you are hanging out in your living room. 15. Wear a winter hat around the houseHeat exits your body from your head so keep yourself warm by keeping a cute winter hat on your head while you are home. 16. Wear warm slippersLike your head, heat exits your body from your feet so keep them insulated. 17. Warm your towels with a towel warmerFight the cold in the bathroom by warming up your towels while you shower. They also work for bathrobes. 18. Rearrange furniture away from windowsGive your living room a fresh look by rearranging your furniture away from your windows. If the furniture in front of your window only fits one way, move your seating away from the window a least 6 inches and execute tips 6, 8, 13, and 20. 19. Unblock heater ventsDon’t sacrifice your coziness for a piece of furniture over a vent. Rearrange your furniture to unblock the vent. Not possible? Purchase a vent attachment or extender. 20. Install plastic window insulatorsThese plastic window insulators can help your windows feel like a more expensive window. If done well, the insulator really isn’t super noticeable. They are easy to install and remove. All you need is scissors and a hair dryer. Most of the instructions tell you to install the plastic over your outer trim. I was able to install the plastic on the inside of the window trim behind my window treatments. These are a great solution for large windows with no window treatments.
Sometimes just thinking warmer thoughts can get you feeling cozier. Cuddle up and get some inspiration for you outdoor spaces this summer and tell yourself you are almost there!
The post 20 Ways to Keep Your House Warm this Winter appeared first on Curbly. Via https://www.curbly.com/it-s-you-versus-old-man-winter-here-is-how-you-win Scissors get dull. Fast. Getting them professionally sharpened can cost a pretty penny, too. Rather than shelling out for a sharpening session or for a brand new pair of shears, I decided to learn exactly how to sharpen scissors on my own. I did a little research, and here’s what I learned: As all of these processes involve handling sharp blades (and dull blades which can actually be more dangerous), exercise some caution. No pointing the blade at your self, wear your safety goggles, and absolutely no running with the scissors. There are lots of different ways to sharpen scissors. Pick the method that works best depending on how damaged your blades are, and what you have on hand. Table of contentsHow to Sharpen Scissors with SandpaperFor this method, use medium grit sandpaper. Cut the scissors into sandpaper a few times, turn the scissors over, and cut a few more times. Check the sharpness. If the blade isn’t as slick as you’d like, repeat the process. As you can imagine, the entire length of each blade needs to rub across the sandpaper to sharpen them completely. How to Sharpen Scissors with Aluminum FoilLike with sandpaper, sharpening with aluminum foil involves cutting into the foil repeatedly to remove burs and nicks from the blades. The aluminum foil needs to be folded over a few times and flattened before cutting. Alternatively, you can use steel wool with the same method. How to Sharpen Scissors Against Another ObjectYou can use the shaft of a screwdriver to burnish the cutting edge. Open the scissors wide and close down like you’re cutting, then move the scissors from the top to the tip on the metal shaft. Do this for both blades. Alternatively, you can use a mason jar or other glass container that you don’t mind damaging. Open the scissors around the glass, and “cut” at the side of the jar repeatedly, running the length of both blades against the glass. How to Sharpen Scissors with a Store-Bought SharpenerYep, you can buy sharpeners! Not only are they pretty safe, but they’re also super easy to use. You can use either a knife sharpener, or a specially-designed sharpener just for scissors. Both sharpeners have their pros and cons. Knife sharpeners are nice to have in the home for the sheer fact that they can sharpen a wide variety of blades. Scissor sharpeners are safer to use as the blade is contained, plus they can sharpen both blades at once. All of these methods are great for sharpening scissors, but if you really want to clean up your cutters… Use a Sharpening Stone for Razor SharpnessYou can pick up a sharpening stone at your local hardware store. They come in a variety of sizes as needed for different blade lengths, and run between $5-15 depending on the size. The stone comes with one coarse side and one fine side. A new stone has to be soaked in machine oil overnight. It also should be kept in a closed container between uses, and lightly oiled before each use. Here’s how it works:
How To Use a Scissor Sharpening ServiceOk, maybe you just don’t want to sharpen your blades yourself. Maybe you’re lazy? Or maybe you have lots and lots of scissors to hone. Either way, if this sounds like you, there’s a solution: you can mail your scissors (and knives, and axes, etc.) in to a scissor sharpening service. Here are a few:
As you can see, all of these scissor sharpening services are useful if you don’t have a place near you that can do it. You’ll have to pay shipping on top of the service fee though. Just want to know “is there scissor sharpening near me?” – here’s a handy Google Maps link. To keep your scissors preserved and have the sharpness last longer, it’s best to have different pairs for different tasks. For example, I have one pair that only cuts fabric, and one pair for everything else I need to cut in my life. Hopefully these tips will help you get your scissors in tip-top shape once again.

And I’m here to tell you that it’s easier than it sounds – this is a resolution you can keep! Click through to check out my ten easy steps to living a more creative life in the new year. Take A ClassGo ahead, take that pottery course you’ve been considering. Or give that sewing class a try. If you’re pinching pennies, there are plenty of free or affordable online courses to get your creativity flowing. Here are a few great websites to take a peek at: Photo by Jeff Sheldon on Unsplash Start a Pinterest Board with Project IdeasI find Pinterest to be one of the best resources for finding and saving project ideas. Inspiration runs rampant on Pinterest, you just have to know where to find it. Be sure to follow only boards that are relevant to you (you can find them by searching for your favorite blogs or Instagram accounts and then searching through those accounts’ individual boards) and you can use the search bar to find projects using specific materials. Check out the Curbly Pinterest boards for loads of ideas to get you started! Photo by charlesdeluvio on Unsplash Buy A SketchbookThis is an easy one… buy a pretty sketchbook and some writing utensils (duel-tip markers are my go-to for versatility) and just start doodling. If you need some prompts, head over to Vera Sweeney’s blog, Lady and the Blog, for 100 ideas to keep you sketching! Photo by pure julia on Unsplash Learn a New SkillHave you always wanted to learn how to crochet? Or perhaps woodworking has always been appealing to you? Give it a try! The hardest part is getting started… so grab your materials and just do it. Once you get going, simply the act of making will increase your internal flow of creativity infinitely. Listen to a Podcast or TED TalkListening to other creative people is a surefire way to get your own inspiration flowing. There are lots of great Podcasts out there… give these a try. There are also tons of TED Talks that you may want to check out. Photo by Dushawn Jovic on Unsplash Call A Creative FriendMost of us have one… a super creative friend who’s always making something. Give that person a call and see if they want to get together for a crafting session or just a creative chat over a cup of coffee. Photo by Good Faces on Unsplash Go to the Craft StoreTake a walk around your local craft supply store and I guarantee you’ll be inspired. And if you need a little help figuring out what to start with, most stores sell kits that have everything you need for a project. Or refer back to your Pinterest board from #2 above and grab the supplies for one of your pinned projects. Photo by Paul Hanaoka on Unsplash Change Your SurroundingsThis can happen in one of two ways: 1) Change the design of your home or office by moving furniture around and painting the walls a new color, or 2) Physically go somewhere else… try your local coffee shop or library. Either way, mixing up your routine will give your brain a boost. Believe That You Are CreativeI can’t tell you how many people have told me “oh, I’m not a creative person.” And I just don’t think that’s true. I believe that everybody has some type of creativity inside, it just takes different forms in each of us. A scientist’s creativity may come in the form of creative thinking, while a graphic designer’s creativity may be more traditional. Believe that you have an innate sense of creativity inside of you somewhere… and use tips 1-9 above to channel it in a tangible way.

The post 12 Free Printable Desktop Calendars To Help You Rock the New Year appeared first on Curbly. Via https://www.curbly.com/12-free-printable-desktop-calendars-to-help-you-rock-the-new-year When I think of “home,” I always start with a visual picture: the layout, the colors, and all the “stuff” that makes it so unique. But, of course, my real concept of home doesn’t have anything to do with the physical structure or the things that sit inside it. Home is a sense of peace and rest I experience by myself and with my family. And it’s the place where I nurture relationships, and build community. And if I’m doing things right, it’s the place that helps me stay sane. So this year, I’m giving my home a new commitment, and all my 2017 commitments are actually New Year’s resolutions for the home.
1. Deal with procrastination: Procrastination can really take the joy out most things in life. But in our homes, it can create an unthankful mindset for where we live. We all have projects we put off for days, weeks and sometimes even years. And the effect of that can be feeling behind, but also a lack of gratitude. When we first moved into our home, we just hauled all our stuff from one country to the other, dumped it into the basement bedrooms that were out of sight, closed the doors and never looked back. Two years later, I still feel anxious when I see all the unpacked boxes and piles everywhere. No more procrastinating! We really want to focus on working on those specific spaces that bring us extra stress that we just don’t need in our life. If you are in the same boat, you know what we mean. So, come up with a game plan! Working on one room at a time, we are slowly going to clean and organize the basement bedrooms. An easy way to motivate yourself to breath new life into unused spaces is giving them a little facelift! We have plans to give three different rooms their own complete makeover this year: a new home office, an organized laundry room and a spare bedroom/playroom for the kids. We know that hitting these problem areas in the home head-on will definitely make us feel a whole lot less stressed in the long run and give us a little more gratitude for where we live. 2. Narrow down to the necessities: When you live surrounded by a lot of clutter, it’s easy to overlook the details that make your house a home. It’s high time we take a long look around to see what items we have that are necessary and items that have no meaning whatsoever. I really do want to live out the whole “less is more” motto and scale back…big time. I do love to thrift and hunt for unique treasures. Though we have collected a lot of really “cool” stuff over the years, it all can feel a little overwhelming. It’s time to really ditch the extra baggage around the home and do a little purging. One easy way to do this is figuring out if the object or thing has special meaning or memory. If it doesn’t and you just have it because it simply looks pretty or was on sale, give it away! Having less stuff will easily put your mind at ease. 3. Out with the old, in with the new: Christmas usually means a plethora of new toys and clothes for everyone. Before taking all the new stuff out of the packages and ripping the tags off of new clothes, go around the house with a few boxes to collect old toys and clothes that haven’t been touched in months. It’s like the old switch-a-roo! And to help keep a little order and sanity of course. 4. Invest in people, not things: We try our best, but we are all guilty of getting sucked into this world of consumerism. All the newest decor trends, fashion trends and endless stuff to be had….just walk around your favorite local shops and boutiques and you know the feeling exactly. It’s enough to make you go crazy. This year, I really want to invest in relationships rather than things. It’s about being intentional with our time (and money) and investing it on loved ones and experiences, not goods. 5. A cleaning routine: Am I the only one that finds this one totally daunting? In a fast paced world, there seems to be very little time or energy left to care for the home. Which is why we probably avoid having some sort of cleaning routine or schedule, because it’s just one more thing we have to do! For me, it’s really about an attitude change. I’m a stay-at-home-mom and I sometimes resent that looking after the home is essentially my “job.” But honestly, we are so blessed to have this beautiful home and I should show a little more gratitude by taking better care of it! So you see, it’s about doing a littler inner cleaning of the heart too, if you know what I mean.
How about you? What commitments are you making for your home this year? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.
