SSS Favorites Challenge: Stencils!!

Popping in today to enter the Simon Says Stamp Favorite Product or Technique ChallengeI have recently become OBSESSED with stencils.  LOVE them.  I used Ranger texture paste enhanced with Martha Stewart fine glitter with the My Favorite Things tiny brick stencil.  The school themed stamps are by Lawn Fawn



 
Hard to see the shimmer in the bricks, but believe me, it is FANTASTIC!
 
 
 
I made a bunch of these for the boys' teachers this spring.
The sentiment was embossed in white.
Bit of gloss on the apple.
 
Thanks for stopping by,

Gift Tags for Teachers

Hi There.
Sharing some tags I made for a back to school treat for the boys' teachers.
The tag features Lawn Fawn's "A Good Apple" and Harold's ABC. 
The words were embossed with white powder.
The chalkboards were colored and cut out.
I added the black piece on top.



 The treats are little chocolate Scotty dogs.  The Scotty dog is the mascot for the school.
When I found the candy mold at the local grocery store I could not resist it!






I am entering this tag into the Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Back to School.

Germ Juice

Made these adorable "germ juice" containers for the boys' primary teachers.
I got the idea off of PINTEREST The link takes you to a picture not a blog.
The original was written with a sharpie.  

When I bought my Cameo a month ago I got the vinyl starter bundle.
This is my first vinyl project and I must say that the process was pretty easy and
turned out GREAT.  So professional looking!

Simon Says Stamp: Back to School

If you are a regular reader of my blog, then you have heard of my journey
to go back to work.  I taught high school for 12 years and have been home for 10 years.
I was offered a full-time tutoring position last weekend at a local school.
Back to work I go! I still hope to do a little crafting, but I will be limited.

Thanks for looking,

L34: Cutlery Holders

Going to be a hot one this weekend!
I was working in my craft space today and it was getting rather toasty in there.
The AC has been turned on...

Sharing a little project I made for an upcoming teacher appreciation luncheon for my younger son's preschool staff.  I can't believe we are finished with preschool. In fact, I took the little guy to the doctor today for his check-up and kindergarten shots.  
He was very excited to tell his brother that he had gotten the shots 
was was now ready to start kindergarten after the summer is over.  

I took some small bags, cut them down with pinking scissors, 
dry embossed them with the "thanks" folder in the cuttlebug.  

Looks better "live". 
 If you click on the photo you can probably see the embossed bag better.
Another mom donated yellow plates so I found yellow 
cutlery and used my Twinery butter cream twine. 



Here's the back.  
I secured the twine with a little cute washi tape:


My tag was stamped with the Lawn Fawn chevron and 
then I heat embossed the "thank you" in black.


I saw this project on Pinterest.
HERE is the blog post with picnic ideas. 

I am submitting this project in the Lawnscaping #34: Embossing Challenge (heat or dry)

You Are a Blessing

You are a Blessing. 
Those are powerful words as it means that you have touched someone's life in a special way.  Since I had the lunch bags out from THIS project, I decided to get a head start on some teacher treats for Thanksgiving.  I hadn't planned on giving them something, but half-off Hersey kisses and the lunch bags gave me the inspiration.  And then came the sentiment... I saw it on a Lawn Fawn set and it's been in my mind ever since.  Just such a nice thing to say so I stamped it out with another Lawn Fawn alpha set.  I stamped the leaves and colored them with 4 different watercolor pencils and then blended them with a blender pen.  It is hard to see but one of the leaves on the card and the envelope have glitter on them and the middle one on the card is popped with dimensional foam.  I made three sets (bag, card and envelope) as teacher gifts.

Directions for Teacher Treats

I had several requests for the directions to make the teacher treats shown in my August 25, 2010 post. These would be cute to give out at Christmas too! The project is taken directly from Creating Keepsakes magazine, September 2010 issue by Jamie Ward.



Supplies:

  • Cardstock: yellow, pink
  • Aluminum foil
  • Scoring tool (I used my Martha Stewart Scoreboard)
  • pinking scissors
  • scissors or paper trimmer
  • hole punch
  • adhesive (I used glue dots and Scotch Quick Dry)
  • Rolos (one pack per gift)
  • Hersey Kisses (need one piece per gift)
  • embellishments (I used the George cart on the Cricut for the stars, Lawn Fawn "Harold's ABC stamps for the letters, a hole punch and ribbon)



1. Cut 3 1/2" X 4 1/2" piece of yellow cardstock. Score lines lengthwise every 1/4"



2. Trim one short end with pinking scissors. Wrap cardstock around pack of Rolos, pinked end toward the bottom and adhere.



3. Wrap 3 1/2" X 3/8" piece of pink cardstock around the top end of the Rolos. Cut circle from pink cardstock same size as top of Rolos, to create eraser top. Adhere in place.

4. Adhere 3 1/5" X 3/8" piece of aluminum foil around the seam where the yellow and pink papers meet.

5. Adhere Hersey Kiss to bottom of Rolos for the pencil point.

6. Add embellishments, name tags, etc. I used my Lawn Fawn "Harold's ABC" set to stamp the names


These are really easy to make and were such a big hit this week. Happy crafting and thanks for stopping by! -Kelly
