Teacher Appreciation

Hi everyone it's Cindy from Cindy's Creations finishing off the week of Teacher Appreciation Cards.  I used a couple of different stamp sets for this card so stop by my blog to see how I put it together.

Enter our April challenge! This month's themes are: Sympathy, New Beginnings, Teacher Appreciation & Mother's Day. For more information click on our challenges here.

Thanks for helping me make the grade!

Just a simple teacher appreciation card, using 4 files from my Silhouette Studio…

4 school borders, Flower shape, overall sam, and sunbonnet sue print

The font I used for the phrase was “Crazy Girlz Blond BTN”

I was originally just going to do the 4 school borders on a linen background, with a sentiment… but saw the overall sam and sunbonnet sue print and cuts, and had to include them too! Hope you like it!

#1 Teacher

I love our theme this week, 'Teacher Appreciation."  I'm sure we all have teachers who inspired us, and I think our teachers rarely get the recognition or thanks they deserve.  So, here's to you, all you teachers out there.  We Love You!!!

 

I'm sorry if this photo looks a little washed out; I didn't have the best lighting when I needed to snap it.  But you can go to my blog, Creative Genie-ous, to get a better view.

Lucy Kelleher is your designer for tomorrow.  I know she'll have some great inspiration for you!  And be sure to get started on your challenge entries.  You don't want to miss out on the chance to win a great prize!

Creating Smiles

My son is 4 and attends preschool once a week and for my Teacher Appreciation card I really wanted to make it about the real reason we appreciate them the most in our house and that is for the huge smile on Michael's face when we tell him it's preschool day and again when we pick him up. It's the enjoyment they put into everything they teach them that makes those smiles happen and for that we are very appreciative!
I also tried to make this personalized by colouring the picture as close to my son as possible.

For more details head on over to my blog Caution:Crafting is Contagious

The inside reads.. "Thank you for helping create them!"

Teacher Appreciation in a Tote

My children are all grown....or practically it seems!  My youngest is now an 8th grader, and at this age, we no longer do a "teacher appreciation", as there are so many teachers, and it's just "not cool" to bring in gifts for the teacher at this age....especially for a boy!

So....instead of doing a new post, I'm showing a post from a couple years ago, when my son was in 6th grade, and it was still cool to recognize your teachers!

I had to make a "teacher appreciation" gift, as it's teacher appreciation week, and tonight I have parent-teacher conferences.

So, I found an idea on Papertrey Ink blog on making a cupcake tote.

I decided I could do something like this for Cameron's teacher!  Only I adapted it with what supplies I had on hand!

Here is a picture of the project above.  Part of what I adapted differently is I used a pattern to cut Cupcake wrappers instead of doing an additional bag of sweet toppers for the cupcakes.  I also made a "matching" card, kept it to spring/easter colors, and I didn't have my own little tubes and didn't have time to order from them, so I created my own from a transparency film and some yellow cardstock!

When you open the flap, you will find the candy toppers....filled in tubes.  I cut 3"x5" rectangles from a yellow transparency material I had.  I then used Scor Tape along one 5" end, and rolled the other end onto it, forming the tube.  For the toppers, I cut a circle pattern on my machine (about 3/4" size) with triangles off the circle to make "tabs"  I taped the tabs down onto the tube with my score tape.  I then added a small strip of matching yellow paper around the circumference of the top, to create the "cap" look.

The Bunny paper piecing is from my Easter Bunny File

Here is my full recipe list!!  It's a long one...so be prepared!

TOTE:
Paper:  Cascata Yellow (12x12  - 3 sheets), pattern papers from SEI Chick-a-dee collection (one sheet of Anna's Bananas, and one sheet of Ga-ga), DoubleMates Brown paper for Bunny pieced together.

Other:  Ribbon by Offray, 1/2" Score Tape to secure Ribbon, 1/8" score tape for sides of box attachment and for paper strip holding candy tubes in place, as well as the caps of the candy tubes. I also used the Labels 10 Nestie for the matting under the easter bunny, and to create the flap at the top of the box to close it up.  I used a strip of velcro for the closure.  Transparency film for the tubes with paper topper.  I also covered the frosting tub with the papers and ribbon to match.

The cupcake wrappers were cut from Cascata Paper on my KNK, from a pattern provided by Judy on the KNK Yahoo Group.  I was going to make my own pattern...but her's fit the bill perfectly, and I figured why make it even more work!!  (So thanks for the pattern Judy!)

Card:
Detail Blending paper for the Itzy Inkies Flower Power Stamp, Copics, Nestabilities Labels Set, Border file cut from my KNK Machine (cut twice, from white and scraps of the SEI papers used on the tote)


UPDATE ON GIFT....his teacher LOVED IT!  She has 3 young boys, and they made the cupcakes prior to Easter, and ate them for dessert on  Easter Sunday!


Make sure you join in on the fun, and get an opportunity to win a GREAT prize package, by joining our April Challenge!
