​Have you heard of self care punch cards? Habit punch cards? You can really use the punch card system for so many different themes. Today I’m sharing a simple design with fun hand lettering for adults and kids- I’ve included my own suggestions for things you can track, good habits, positive character traits and hard things we need to do in this life- but I’ve also made a blank design so you can use it for whatever you like!

Remember when you were a kiddo and you’d get a punch on your card for reading a book or completing a task in your classroom? How good did that feel?!

I was chatting with a friend last year and we were celebrating a hard decision she’d made- saying no to something that seemed great, but she knew wasn’t a fit with her goals. You deserve a gold star!  We laughed about it but the more we chatted, the more we all agreed that would be so great to celebrate our successes for these hard adult things the way that we did when we were kids.

I did a quick survey of friends on the seemingly silly or insignificant goals or self care things they were working on and then I got busy making these cute punch cards. And when my kids saw them- they wanted some too!

I’ve made two full pages of different free printable reward punch cards for you to use as you chase those goals, do the hard work, or whatever you’re wanting to celebrate with these reward cards. The first page is designed for adults with 8 grown-up self care style goals. They’re like behavior punch cards but for our own behaviour, ha! 

The second page is designed for kids and includes one blank goal card so you can track whatever goal you want with the same punch card program. Reading punch card? Sure! Occupational therapy exercises punch card? Okay! Academic progress cards, slept the night in their own bed cards, made it to my therapy appointment cards, acts of kindness cards, supported a small business card… whatever you’re dreaming, friend 😉

This set of free Thanksgiving gratitude printables are a great way to get kids to express gratitude and are a fun alternative to thanksgiving coloring pages.

Thanksgiving is a great time of year to focus on cultivating an attitude of gratitude in kids of all ages but also in ourselves. A few years back, I started writing down 5 things I’m grateful for on a daily basis in a gratitude journal of sorts and it helps me focus on all the good in life, it’s really changed my mindset over time. I often invite my kids to write a little list of things they’re grateful for, but writing a regular ol’ list isn’t as much fun for younger kids.

This set of gratitude activity sheets are a great reminder for older children to take note of what they are thankful for in their life. There’s four designs that you can choose from- a simple hand printed ‘I am grateful for…’, a hand written ‘my thanksgiving list’, a hand lettered ‘gratitude’ and a hand lettered ‘I’m so grateful’ option.

An aside… this year one of my grade 5s started learning cursive at school and I’m so grateful for that (ha!). I know that it’s no longer curriculum, so it’s such a pleasant surprise for me as someone who loves hand lettering so much! I know that many kids can’t read cursive so I wanted to make sure that there’s a printed option as well so there’s one for the entire family.

When our kids were really small, I used to take the kids out for a thanksgiving walk and we’d send thankful cards as a creative way to practice gratitude for younger children. At our family thanksgiving dinner, my sister-in-law used to make a thankful tree for the kids to add what they’re grateful for. 

This is another great option to help kids practice a heart of gratitude whether at home on Thanksgiving Day at the dinner table or for classroom use if you’re a teacher. Pair this with a cute thanksgiving craft and it would make such a great thanksgiving gift for parents! As a parent… who would love to get that 😉

This thankful activity printable is part of a collaboration that I’m doing with some of my favourite printable designer friends, so you can scroll to the bottom and find even more fun free thanksgiving printables from some very talented ladies! 

But first… let’s get you these ‘thankful for…’ printable thanksgiving activity sheets.

I’m such a fan of sparklers. I buy them for birthdays, camping, New Years Eve… honestly if I can find an excuse, you better believe I’m buying them. They’re just such a fun little moment to have whether with kids, family members or other adults.

They also make for the best photos. Some of my very favourite photos from celebrations feature sparklers. While we’re singing to the birthday girl and she’s laughing as the sparklers run down or as the kids are drawing shapes in the dark with their sparklers camping. Today I’m excited to share a template card for you to make your very own sparklers holders to have as the perfect takeaway favour at a Fourth of July Party or just for your own family. 

I designed a basic sparklers holder layer to cut out of carstock and then a color layer to either layer vinyl, adhesive cardstock, or even try with print and cut. This version has a hand lettered ‘free to sparkle’ phrase in a patriotic red and blue with a bunch of little stars along with some wavy lines to give a patriotic touch like the USA flag.

Not only am I sharing this free patriotic sparklers holder SVG cut file, but I’m joining up with some other awesome SVG designers to share a collection of free 4th of July SVG files at the bottom of this post. So scroll down to find some fun Independence Day SVG files to get started on your 4th of July crafts right away!

I made this free SVG file with my fave brush lettered style, it’s modern and playful and perfectly simple. I kept the white background for simplicity, but really, since this is an SVG file you can switch it up to whatever colors you like, just cutting it out of different materials.

It’s been a few years since I made these hand lettered bride squad files for a friend’s bachelorette party. i thought it was about time that I turned them into a free download for you all! We made them into cute tank tops and rented a house in the Okanogan with a pool and sipped wine, did puzzles, braided hair and floated in the pool all weekend long. 10/10 recommend it.

If you’re throwing a bachelorette for a ‘going out’ type of bride, these would be fantastic on the back of matching shirts or even sashes. Beach day? How about hats! There’s really so many things you could make with these free bride squad SVG files and you KNOW if you use them… I want to see your creativity!

You can make the diamond gold like I did just by using gold glitter vinyl or you can keep it all black and white or mix it up whatever way you like. You could go all gold and make little pouches for bachelorette party gifts (hello hangover supplies!) or matching wine glasses with all gold lettering using permanent adhesive vinyl.

Wrap them all up with some ribbon and one of these hand lettered gift tags to have waiting for all the bachelorette party guests!

These free bride squad SVG files were hand lettered by me and digitized so you can use them for your personal projects. These are free for personal use only so make them for yourself, your sisters bridal party but you can’t make money off of them 🙂
