Bitten by the number bug!

Hi!  This is Heather from the Product Development Team!  I have been with QuicKutz for 6 years and I am convinced that I have the best job around.  I work on a fabulous team that is responsible for the new releases every month...and can I just tell you we have some FUN stuff up our sleeves!  You will want to stay tuned for that...but in the mean time...I have been bitten by the number bug!

I am in LOVE with the new Grand-sized number sets from our most recent release!  I just wanted to share a few projects that I created using the #73 number set.

My daughter Krissy just celebrated her fifth birthday...and boy was she excited!  The whole day was about the number 5...5 dollar-sized pancakes for breakfast, 5 chicken nuggets for lunch, 5 candles on her cake.  I couldn't help but top everything I could find with a number 5 die-cut.  Here are two of my favorites...the fruit cup toppers and water bottle wraps.  

 

  

   

I die cut two 5's and placed a glue dot and toothpick between them, creating a quick and customized decoration for our fruit cups. They also look great on cupcakes!

I die cut 5's in colors that coordinated with her party and adhered them to a strip of cardstock that I wrapped around the water bottles.

 My next creative number project was to add my house number to my mailbox.  

 

I die cut a piece of QuicKutz adhesive-backed vinyl using my Revolution and number set #73. Using a piece of QuicKutz Transfer Paper, I applied it to my mailbox!  From the time I came up with the idea to the time that it was on my mailbox took about 15 minutes!  Quick, simple & cheap!

Wow! I love party ideas. The large numbers are Awesome! My fingers are crossed! Thanks, Trista.

great ideas and my mailbox needs new numbers on it. Since we never replace the number on it when a combine ran it over lol. And my hubby turns 50 next year I would really do him up right.

I've been eyeing up #73 but haven't taken the plunge yet. I like the vinyl through the Rev idea. I have some scraps to use up. I can see some mirror decorations coming up in my house...

I love #73. There is so much you could do with it. LOVE IT! (and I love the mail box, guess what I am thinking of doing this afternoon?)

[Lynne]

I love those two number sets! That looks great on your mailbox! I wish we had our own mailboxes to do that too. We have the community one. But I am thinking about the fact that my son's bday is Friday! Thanks for the great bday ideas!

What a great party idea!!!!! I love the number sets too -- so many uses!!!!! Actually I love everything in the newest release (but that isn't a surprise since I am totally in love with anything QuicKutz related). Thanks for sharing your projects!!!! I love this blog!!!!

Holy smoking trains! #73 reminds me of the numbers on trains. My husbands hobby. I can see shadow boxes in our future using #73. #43 perfect for sports, birthdays, addresses. Love, love these new number sets.

[Bobbi-Lynn]

[Jingle]

How fun! These are great ideas to get the most from the number sets!

[Yaritza]

What a cute little girl. The projects are great. I love the numbers and would love to add them to my collection. Thanks for the chance to win.

[Tamra B]

I agree you probably have the best job. Thanks for the ideas on different ways to use the number sets other than on scrap pages.

[Maureen F]

Really nice pictures- thanks for sharing. I love the larger numbers and how you used them!!! great ideas.

[Tiffany]

Very cool ideas! Gotta try that!

[Maylee]

Love your "5" party decor for your daughter's party. So cute!

[Stefanie]

I love the party ideas! Last year when my daughter turned 2, we had a few different celebrations and each time there was a number 2 on her cupcake. From then on she expected the number 2 on cupcakes - and still talks about it (her birthday was in September). I think she would LOVE the ideas you did for your daughter this year when she turns 3. Thanks for sharing!

Your water bottle wraps are so stinkin' cute!! I am expecially drawn to the number sets since they contain a '#' on each and most QK alphas do not contain the number sign. It would be great to use for any #1 sports team finish, #1 Dad, #1 Friend, and so on...
Thanks for the giveaway chance - I would do a major happy dance if I got picked!!

[Melanie]

what a fabulous idea! I never would have thought about incoporating the birthday number into all kinds of things (like the pancakes!).
Thanks for the change to win one of these great products!

Fabulous!!

[Jen M]

Love the mailbox idea. Wish my neighborhood had individual mailboxes!!

And hey just FYI -- today is my birthday and since it is bigger number maybe some big numbers would make it extra special!!! :)

[Barb Lamaere]

Did not get the numbers yet. Would love to have oneof them though. Thanks
