Fabulous Chore Chart With Cut and Gypsy Files!

Hi, it's Kendra here once again and I am so excited to be this weeks guest designer this week over at Everyday Cricut!  I am really looking forward to sharing some of my creations with you!

Our family was recently transferred Colorado and into a much larger house.

A larger house means more house work and more house work mean more chores!

I thought that a Chore Chart would be a super fun way to get the kids involved.

When thinking of chores the kids might need to do, I decided to include some fun rewards too.  For each chore that the kids do, they will be earning point that they can "cash in" for fun things to do.  Later this week I will be bringing you a fun Bucket List for the kids to cash in on!  So be sure to stay tuned and check back for this fun project!

This weeks project was made with the Cricut Expression, The Cricut Gypsy and the Chore Chart Cricut lite Cartidge, Boys Will Be Boys Cricut Cartidge, Slumber Party Cricut lite Cartridge, Feeling Groovy Cricut lite Cartridge and Opposites Attract Cricut Cartridge.

For each set of chore/rewards you will need 3 sheets of accent color in this case either teal or purple, 3 Sheets of Orange, 2 sheets of Lime Green and 3 sheets of white cardstock.  You need to reserve 1 sheet of each color to create your kiddos name plate.  The other cardstocks will be cut into 1/4ths so you end up with 6 inch x 6 inch squares.  

When you place your cardstock on your mat, it does not matter what order it goes in.

This project was pretty time consuming but I have taken a lot of that time out of the equation by creating a great .gypsy and .cut file for you to use.

You must have Cricut Design Studio version 1.0.40422.0 for it to work
the Gypsy must have the latest update of 104 (0227:0239) for it to work.

So now all you have to do is put your paper on the mat, cut and glue!

There are 26 different chores and rewards that my hubby and I can choose to assign to the children everyday.  I will be giving the .gypsy and .cut file away on my blog all week long and you can also download the complete instructions there too!

Here are close ups of the chores.

I also made the kids names so their chores can go below them.

Notice how the word chores is in orange.  I used Opposites Attract and welded the word together for an accent over their names.

To make these magnetic, I decided to use Business card Magnets from Office Max as the magnets.  They were super reasonable at less than $7 got a pack of 25!

You will need to cut the magnets in half so they fit on the back of your chore and rewards.

Once you have cut them you will remove the liner and attach it to the back of your chores and rewards.  You will do this to every set that you make.

Here is a closer up look at the kids chore charts on the refrigerator.
