Going the Extra Mile!

The money raised by those who came out for the 3-mile stroll supports March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. Plus, it’s used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care.

Sneak Peek - National Geographic Craft Kits

School is almost out, but luckily these National Geographic Craft Kits are almost in... Walmart that is!

 

Keep your child learning all summer long with these fun and educational crafts.

Visit the Rain Forest and paint your very own jungle animal play set. Have a safari adventure by coloring and assembling 3-D Safari Animal Puzzles. Take a trip back in time with the Archaeological Sculpting Kit. Have fun with fossils by creating your own. You can even do a little prehistoric painting with the Dino-Rama Play Set.

 

One of my favorite parts about this line of products is the unique fun fact card that comes in each kit. Stunning photography along with a list of amazing facts make these cards fun to collect and trade. I mean, did you know a leopard can hear five times as many sounds as a human?

 Call your local Walmart to see if they are being sold at a store near you!

Sneak Peek - Kids' Craft Kits

I’m excited to show off these fun craft kits that are being sold at Walmart this Summer. For only 10 dollars you can add creativity AND hours of entertainment to your child’s carefree summer days. 

Learn to Crochet Kits – With easy-to-follow directions and web videos to watch, your child will be able to learn to crochet!  They can choose between making their very own stylish hat and scarf or an adorable purse and wallet…Better yet, why not make them both?  Their classmates will be in awe when they proudly sport their AWESOME creations around the schoolyard next year!

Spool Knit Pals – With a spool knit tool, pom-poms, colorful yarn, googly eyes and pipe cleaners this kit has everything you need to create a fun-filled summer day. Easy–to–follow directions show your child how to make over 9 spool knit pals. They will enjoy playing with these little critters all summer long.

Jewelry Tree – This is a must have kit for the fashionista in your life. Color the two beautiful wooden designs and decorate them with stickers. Slide them together and Walla! You have a jewelry tree that is as fun as it is functional!

Stitch-By-Color – 4 mesh squares with printed designs make these kits easy to create. Simply match the yarn color to the color on the printed mesh and start stitching. They make great room decorations when they are complete. 

These crafts aren’t only fun to do they also look great when they are done!

Stampin’ some Creativity

Get inspired with our new Heidi Grace and Cloud 9 Stamps! There are some great new themes available to help round out your stamp collections with every occasion.  A couple of our favorites are featured below.

Great for invitations, gifts or favors, these Cloud 9 Baby stamps are perfect to help welcome new additions to any family!

Create your own patterned papers! Place groupings of stamps on an acrylic block and stamp on the paper of your choice. Try making two different groupings of stamps and stagger them while stamping to create a more detailed design. 

Adhere multiple layers of paper to create unique borders around your layouts. We used Xyron's Adhesive Application System which made it very easy to get an even adhesive coverage.

These Heidi Grace Wedding stamps are a perfect combination of light-hearted elegance. Celebrate the union of friends and loved ones with these adorable stamps!

Use silver ink to make patterns look a bit more sophisticated. Try using a different color for more fun, playful layouts. 

Mix and match accent colors for variation!

 

We love the new designs and hope that you do too! Find these and other great designs at your local JoAnn Craft Store. Comment below for a chance to win 5 of our new designs – including the two used in the projects featured above!  We'll announce the winners Wednesday, March 28th.
