Sharing Sunshine

 

When I saw the super cute 'Sharing Sunshine' stamp set in the new Annual Catalog I just had to add it to my cart.  I thought it would be so cute on scrapbook pages and cards!  

This past week I needed to make 24 treat bags and thought about that fun sun! The treat bags were to celebrate the beginning of summer and the end of the school year, so what better image than a smiling sun? 

When I was trying to decide on a background paper for the treat bags, I remembered this sky paper in the Beauty of the Earth paper pack.  The paper has a beautiful watercolor wash sky paper! There was also a fun green wash, so I decided to add the grass to the bags too, just for more fun! 

There are a couple options for sun 'rays' and I decided to layer them, one layer in Bumblebee and the other thinner rays embossed in gold on top. 

The tag is printed from my computer.

You can see how to make these bags in the video below. 

I remembered the cloud border dies from the Basic Borders dies and decided to add them to the card.  So glad I did, I love the layers of clouds and their cute stitching detail.  The gingham Bumblebee Ribbon just adds to the cuteness!

back to school teacher gift

Hi Everyone! Today I wanted to share some fun treat holders that I made for some Art Teachers my children had over the summer.  I decided to make another one for the new art teacher at our school and decided to film it as well so that you would have the directions. 
This is not my invention, I found it on Pinterest and thought it was just so fun! I love to watercolor, I love treat holders, and I love my art teachers, so this was a perfect project for me.  The original designer's name is Dawn Thomas and here is her original post.  It is such an awesome little box! I reworked the directions a little bit, and used a new die for the ovals as the ones mentioned were no longer current products, but the look is the same.

It is really simple and I made a quick how to video for you to see it step by step.

Start with a piece of basic black cardstock at 5 1/4 by 8 1/2, which means you can get 2 from one sheet of cardstock!! Score as shown below.

I hope you will give this project a try.  I think it would be a nice teacher appreciation day treat as well. Here is the supply list.

Teacher Appreciation ~ Note Card Gift Sets

Hi everyone!  I wanted to share a quick post today about Teacher Appreciation.  May 2nd is Teacher Appreciation Day and our school has nice things planned all week for our teachers.  One of the things the Teacher Appreciation committee likes to do is add little treat or small gift to the teacher's mailboxes today.  I made up theses packs of note cards using some discontinued or soon to be discontinued papers and ribbons.   Stampin' Up! sells note cards and envelopes packaged together in groups of 20 for $6.00.  You can divide them into groups of 6 or 8 for each teacher for a very inexpensive gift.  Some small scraps of designer paper and a greeting will complete the card in no time.  I packaged the cards in a cellophane bag and added some ribbon to finish the project.  I  made a quick video to show a step by step how to for this project.
