October 29, 2014 by 1 Comment
Last year, 15 year old Kelly sketched 42 Saints for me for our Saint Scripts Craft Kits.
You can make your flipbook of Saint postcards with the Saint Scripts Craft Kits!
In the spring, I formatted the collection of Saints into little templates for the Kelly Saints Stamps Craft Kit.
Here’s a quick index of the ways to use this one craft kit, Kelly Saints Stamps:
Convert classic games to be Catholic, using the templates to make Saint game pieces!
Pressman Toy Checkers Board Games
The Kelly Saints Stamps templates are formatted in different layouts, different sizes and 2 different backgrounds. They can but cut into individual square stamps or into perfect circles with various sized circle punches…like this one: Martha Stewart Crafts Punch, 1-Inch Circle
Once cut, the Kelly Saints Stamps can be used in so many ways!
- Cake Toppers
- Saint Day cards
- game pieces for Monopoly Board Game,
- Sorry! 2013 Edition Game or
- Candy Land – The Kingdom of Sweets Board Game
- …or really any classic board game (or homemade board game!) that uses a flat board and a path of spaces!
- Place Setting Cards at the dinner table
that's right...there are some Amazon Affiliate links in this post, in case you don't already have these classic family games. It's true that with your purchase through these links, I could puff up my $6.84 affiliate balance over at Amazon to 10 whole dollars and qualify for a gift card...holding my breath. =)

I just recently painted our family on wooden pegs, complete with Grandpa, Grandma and Uncle Steve.
I’m actually working on another special craft to use with the Wooden Painted Saints for Holy Week and I’ve had a lot of helpers eager to paint…and entertain the little painted peg people.

In 2012, I painted quite a few wooden dolls into saints.
I came up with a few fun ways to use the Wooden Saint Dolls…like the Saints-To-Go in an Altoids tin…for travel!
I decided to dig them out again…and once again find things my kids love to do…and add the Saints!

Continuing with our series on Unique Gifts for Catholic Teachers, Catechists and Grandparents, how about creating a personalized Prayerbook with the help of our All Season Prayer Bank Craft Kit?
A few weeks ago, I shared my own Pinterest Prayer Book, incorporating awesome artwork collected on Pinterest with our favorite family prayers. I used a travel photo album purchased at Walmart and added our favorite holy card images, prayer cards, unique religious artwork and printed prayers from the prayer-packed craft kit.
