Print Candee Fun

What better way to end the summer than having a little fun with sugar, sprinkles, and great clip art!! That is exactly what my nieces and I did!! Full of pinks, browns, and greens, this mini sweet shop hit the spot. With a little vintage flair our mini sweet shop came to life!



First, we started off making these adorable markers. We used digital clip art, labels, and paper all from print candee (little cowgirl, little cowgirl paper, and assorted labels).



The editing was done in Adobe Illustrator. If you do not have this software, its okay because you can create these markers using a great, free online program called FotoFlexer. These markers were one in four easy steps. First, you want to import the paper to the editing program you are using. In this particular set we used #6 (the green on green with stars) in the little cowgirl paper pack. You will need to resize it to desired size. Make sure to place the label and text in the proper area to leave room for folding the marker to make it stand on its own. We then imported the label and sized that as well. The text was then layered to the top. Then you simply print!! You can then out each of your pieces out. i prefer to use an exacto knife and a straight edge over scissors. I find it gives a cleaner finish! It is as easy as that!


We also used the same process to create a pretty finish on the smores treat bags. all the ingredients to make yummy smores were packaged in plastic jewelery bags and sealed with a label matching out theme using a stapler.
