Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare Papercraft

Plants vs Zombies Papercraft (Gargantuar) Hello all! I wanted to share a paper craft that I made with my oldest son for his 11th birthday last weekend. He is so sweet, he said that all he wanted for his birthday was a paper craft of his favorite character from PVZ Garden Warfare, Gargantuar.  He and I searched and searched and found a fantastic designer that designs paper crafts of all kinds. Visit his deviantart site HERE . His name is Jeff and his Deviantart name is Jepi12. Not only are his designs the best I have seen but he is absolutely wonderful to work with. He responds to messages quickly and really helped to make my son's birthday the best it could be. You have got to check out his designs. He has a design for everyone! Here is the design of Gargantuar that we did and then I will show you our finished project. My boys and I made the paper craft together. Here is a picture of the Gargantuar. Click on the picture and it will take you to Jeff's site. ...

Minecraft Shrinky Dinks Craft Tutorial

Copyright Cassie's Creative Crafts Hello, I want to share another Minecraft craft that you can do with the kiddos. So how does one get so attached to this game, you ask? Well...play the game and you will see. It really teaches the kids motor skills. So, today we are going to talk about how to make Minecraft Blocks using shrinky Dinks.

Plants vs Zombies DIY Memory Game With Free Printable

Hello, Plants vs Zombies DIY memory game tutorial. copyright Cassie's Creative Crafts So my boys have gotten into the cell phone and xbox game, Plants vs Zombies and recently, Plants vs Zombies Garden Warfare on Xbox. The Garden Warfare is completely different than the first game and has better graphics and a whole different goal to the game. Let me tell you that this game is highly addictive! I have since gotten into the Garden Warfare and it has me hooked! My husband, boys, and I are all playing this game. What is different about this one is is you can be a plant or a zombie and you control the characters and it is an open toy box world and you fight other people online in multiplayer and level up your characters on plants and zombies and you can customize them as well with various items and I LOVE IT! The only  thing I do not like is how bad it glitches. It does this constantly causing us to lose a whole game and have to sign out and back on. Plus, the loading time ...

DIY Minecraft Valentine Cards & Box

Minecraft Valentine Card Tutorial and Printable. Copyright Cassie's Creative Crafts I know it is kind of late but I figured I would finish what I said I would do and that was to share my boys valentine cards and boxes with you. I have already posted my 9 year old's cards that I made. Those were "My Singing Monsters". Today, I am sharing my other son's cards. We made Minecraft Valentine cards and made a Minecraft grass block Valentine box too that was SUPER easy to make! Below, I will include the cards I made so that you may download them and use them for yourself.  I made them myself. I am not affiliated with Minecraft at all, my boys just really like the game and so we love to come up with new ideas that we can make or create. Please don't claim these as your own, don't use them to make profit from them. Give credit where credit is deserved. I have all of the resources on where I got the Minecraft characters from and can give them to you if y...

DIY My Singing Monsters' Valentine Cards & Crafts

My Singing Monster's DIY Valentine Card Tut. Copyright Cassie's Creative Crafts Hello, I meant to get these out to you sooner before Valentine's Day but it didn't happen. As you know, I am a big DIY crafts person. Sometimes my eyes and heart are much bigger than my "time". I want to do more than I get to do but it doesn't always happen. I always make the boys Valentine boxes for school and usually am working on them down to the very last minute. For some reason, I work better under pressure! :) This year, I finally made everything happen and on time. I made the boys Valentine boxes and cards for school. I really enjoyed every minute of it! If I could just craft all day I would!! Well, I asked the boys what they wanted their V-day cards and boxes to be. We obviously know what Spencer picked….drum roll…….Minecraft! Yes, I said it, Minecraft. So I made him Minecraft themed cards and a grass block for his box. Preston's ideas/requests, however...

Minecraft Ghast Christmas Ornament Tutorial

Is everyone ready for more Minecraft? I know my family is. I've been searching the internet for days on Minecraft ornament ideas. We made a few out of perler beads and some out of craft foam. This time I came across the idea from our lovely youtube. People are using square clear ornaments from Michaels.

The website is called Sunshine Crafts .  This website is filled with loads of various types of crafts that would keep you browsing for hours.  Click here  to go the their website to purchase the ornament.
