Homemade FE gifts - Part 2

[shadowryter]

Before doing any reporting, I'd look a little closer at the pictures.

The posting on Ebay is not the same design as posted here.

Cast name tags are available for anyone and everyone to create images from.

Why be so quick to accuse someone of stealing?

I agree...but never for profit. Which in this case is none of my business. Can you just imagine if us DISigners sold our images? I've posted thousands for free because I love doing it not because I want to make a buck. Besides it's not worth a lawsuit from Disney.You have to be a DISigner here who has seen their images for sale on ebay to know where I'm coming from. We protect our own.

I understand about DISigners protecting their images, and I'm in complete support.

In this case, however, the magnet for sale on Ebay is *not* a DISign.

Okay - haven't figured out picture posting here but I just did a post on my blog showing stuff we received and the notebooks that we gave out for our fish extenders....

Oh, and as far as the emergency kits that somebody said they got too many of, I sailed on 8/1 and we didn't receive a single one! So, I guess it's either feast or famine!

love your notebooks, I was thinking of something similar to that for the girls age 11 and up.

really love the coasters - imagine carrying a ton of those onboard!

I like those pocket deck finders in your post, might have to keep that in mind to include with ours.

Those really came in handy, and they're such a simple thing to do!

Thanks - like I said, I needed something quick! I was going to include a gel pen with each one, but just ran out of time to pick them up. And, yes, I thought the coasters would be heavy, but there were only 11 cabins participating in our exchange and the giver did one set of 2 per cabin, so not TOO bad, but still pretty heavy. Al least they don't take up a lot of space!

I did something similar for my FE this October: it turned out great!

great to hear...and super great for those of us that want to give something useful that will be appreciated, but aren't super crafty

We got something like this on our last cruise. It had a picture of the ship, along with the dates, printed on clear paper, cut into a circle and inserted into a small clear glass ornament. Unfortunately, it broke during the packing and travel home (and we were only half hour away). Take this into consideration if it is something breakable.

Just FYI for anyone making ornaments ... Michaels sells clear, round or oblong ornaments that look like glass but are actually plastic. You can't tell the difference. I used them on our last cruise's FE.

I carried all of them to the ship in a plastic shoebox.

Some of this may be a repeat. But I started my FE journey on the 15 day Eastbound Repositioning cruise. I wanted to create a collectible about each country we would visit. I did this FE on card stock using stamps from each country. This photo is missing a Panama stamp (actually most I gave out had a "Canal Zone" stamp which is the US territory that the canal was located in):

When I did a four day Bahamian cruise in 2011 on the Dream I did a twist on it using coins:

The coins made for a flimsy card stock, so for the Candian cruise I use a styrofoam type backer board. The rear of the FE has a little history of the Canadian Maritimes and some info on Canadian coins. The glue unfortunately expanded when drying and dried white. Since I ran out of some coin demominations, some FEs had less coins than others... I am showing a sample of each... but the ones I gave out that had all the coins did not have so much glue bleed as the photo sample here:

For my Western Fantasy cruise, I may do a coin and stamp combination...

Corinna

Corinna! I love those hidden Mickey images! Could I possibly get a copy of them also? Thinking I could make a cute magnet or two for our door (for our upcoming cruise!)!

Thanks!

Stilmar, all FABULOUS gifts.

Corinna

Corinna, another request for a pm of your designs? I think my daughter would love them, whether I did it for my gifts or not. thanks!

 

[asemaria]

Hi Corinna!
I am so sorry for bothering you, but could you please PM me too with the design?
I hate to be a burden and I do understand if you feel that enough is enough. But I would really appreciate it. :-D
It would look so nice with an idea I've been working on were I will surprice my DSs with our Magic Med cruise in June.
