Teacher Gifts

 

My son starts “Big School” in September.  I can’t believe he is going to be 5.  So this week is his last one at his Pre-school Playgroup.  He has been there the past 2 years and I decided to make some gifts for the teachers.

I thought something that they could keep would be nice and so decorated some glass votive’s (tea light holders).  I made fabulous little boxes for them too.  Only I packed them all before I could take a picture of the decorated holders.  Still here are the boxes that they will be delivered in.

The boxes are in Baja Breeze cardstock with a 2.5 cm (1 inch) strip of Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper. attached over one side to the other.  The boxes are from a sizzix die that I have which I ran through my Stampin’ Up! Big Shot.  I really love the versatility of the Big Shot which allows me to use other dies. 

Once the tea light holders were sealed inside the boxes, I tied some of the gorgeous Certainly Celery 3.2 cm (1 1/4 inch) Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.  The tag is made using the Cute by the Inch Hostess Stamp Set stamped in Baja Breeze on Very Vanilla cardstock.  I then punched out this out using the Small Label Punch.  Using the Large Label Punch I punched out the larger layer in Always Artichoke and attached it using Baja Breeze Seam Binding.

Here is a close up of the Thank You card.

The sentiment is from the wonderful Oval All stamp Set.

I am so thrilled with the way this has all turned out.  I hope they like them.

I told you I like Bookmarks……

 

Hee Hee.  I couldn’t resist another Bookmark.  And this is made entirely from scraps left over from other projects I've done.

I used up some Night of Navy, Old Olive & Daffodil Delight cardstock.  A touch of Daffodil Delight Grosgrain Ribbon and a couple of Basic Pearls on the greeting.

The stamp sets used are Oval All and Tiny Tags.  You can make some fantastic backgrounds using the different elements from the Tiny Tags set.

Book Mark 2

Quick & Easy to make. 

Why not go through your scraps and make a bookmark for someone?

I’m sure there will be at least one or two more soon. Winking smile
