hi there! i am really looking forward to this week because i have a bunch of fun projects lined up to share! i may have mentioned once or twice (or maybe a hundred) times that i *love* making teacher gifts! besides being fun to make, i love how excited my kids are to give them to their teachers, it just really makes me happy. so starting today until friday, i have projects lined up each day to share. and i am even more excited about it because my awesome friend geeta is also doing teacher projects on her blog this week! she always has super creative and fun ideas and i can't wait to see what she has planned. :) first i'd like to share my card for this week's cas challenge on scs. it is an inspiration challenge based on the word *hot*. the first thing i think of when it is hot is the beach! :) i used a bunch of my retired a muse stamps, plus a sentiment i just ordered from a store called colorful creations in ma. love that sentiment! :)
ok, now onto today's teacher gift!
i don't think you can ever go wrong with a cute set of notecards for a teacher. i give them all the time and the teachers say how much they like them and use them! so this is a clean and simple set i made doing some paper piecing on the apple from the paper smooches set falling for you and the thank you from paper smooches word up. then i made a little box to hold them.
i used a clear card box from papertrey, and cut it down to fit my 4.25 square cards. then i added large eyelets to the sides of the box and added a ribbon handle. i created a tag that matched and attached it with a small binder clip. i *love* office supplies, lol! :) i really hope you like my teacher gift today! be sure to go check out geeta's creation for today and then come back here tomorrow for more teacher time! thanks for visiting! :)
I love the "relaxing on the beach" card!! What brand is the sentiment stamp?? I tried to find it on the Colorful Creations website, but couldn't locate it. I would love to have it. Thank you for the info!!
