Xyron For Sale: $15

I am selling one of my Xyron machines. I own three of them because I really like them! But three different sizes might be a bit much. This model's adhesive is 2.5" wide.

This is the Xyron 250 with some permanent adhesive inside (I'm not sure how much) and a full permanent adhesive still in box. I am asking $15 for both.

If you have kiddies at home, this makes a great sticker machine. You may want the removable adhesive for that though. If you scrapbook and cut out titles often, Xyron is a SUPER way to adhere the titles!

On my tic tac toe tin below, I used Xyron permanent adhesive to adhere to black lines to the tin and they are stuck on very well.

Let me know if you are interested or have questions. Thanks!

CD Tin Game

Ok Club Girls, I TOLD you that you needed these CD tins! Look at this adorable tic tac toe game that I made for Miles tonight! I know I could have been a lot more creative with this but I wanted to keep it simple enough for Miles to focus on the task at hand.

I cut black cardstock strips at 1/4" inch and put them through the Xyron. Then I put them straight onto the tin. Next I stamped the apple images from the Tart and Tangy stamp set. I actually used markers for the ink so I could get the multi-colors on each image. I stamped the images out with the 1 1/4" circle punch and layered the images onto 1 3/4" colored circles. These size circles fit PERFECTLY into the tins. How cool!

I then mounted the images onto round magnets so they pop up and are easy to pull off.

With this "neutral" design, I can change out the images with the seasons to keep the game interesting. I plan to use leaves next from the Falling Leaves stamp set on page 27.

I can't wait to come up with more magnetic activities with these tins. After seeing some stamp sets in the catalog, some of my new ideas are:
  • Magnetic build a nativity scene with Season of Simple Grace stamp set on page 39
  • Magnetic "paper dolls" with All in the Family and their accessories on pages 84-85
  • Magnetic "paper dolls" with Sock Monkey and accessories on page 90
  • Magnetic build a scene with Season of Friendship on page 114
  • Magnetic alphabets and spelling
  • Calendar in a tin using Mark the Date and Full Calendar on page 148
  • And match game possibilities are endless with all the stamp sets!
I need to get to bed so I can wake up and play this with Miles tomorrow!
