ABC Friday~Teacher Gift Ensemble And A Serious Enabler Alert…
May 23rd, 2008 by admin
TGIF! So how many of you raced out to see the new Indy movie already? Tony is going today with one of his buddies. I told him that I can either go see it with him again or catch it on DVD. I didn’t watch a whole lot of movies when I was a kid, so the thrill and excitement of this is all going past me pretty much. HOWEVER, I do plan to go see the new Sex & The City movie!!
Today I have a whole gift set to show you. Ellie goes to a little Mom’s Day Out program and they let out for summer {BOO!} next week. Her “teachers” have been so incredibly sweet and I wanted to do a little something for them. I combined the new Petals and Stems set from Verve Visual with PaperTrey Berry Sorbet, Sweet Blush and Spring Moss colors. I also used their new Kraft paper. I really like the weight of this Kraft cardstock, although it seems to have a lot more visible fibers than the SU! Kraft.
Here’s a pic of the everything…
It all started with the card I made. I just took the design elements from the card and incorporated it in with the other stuff. The sentiment on this card is from the Set Thankful Blossoms from Verve.
I made a small genie bag with matching tissue paper to put all the goodies in…
Post-It note holder {with velcro closure} with a matching pen..
Glassine envie {medium size} with 4 Ghirardelli chocolate squares…
Luggage bag tag with PaperTrey ribbon…
The scalloped rectangle is a Nestabilities die and letter is cut from the Cuttlebug Olivia alphabet. These are so easy to make!! You can get a package of badge holders in the office supply section of Wal-Mart and you can punch a couple of extra holes in the top to tie lots of ribbon to. The binder ring is also from the Wal-Mart office supply section, and it makes the perfect “clip.”
So, do you want to be seriously enabled?? Check out the new Cuttlebug stuff HERE!
Oh my….freaking fantastic Jen!!
can you tell me more about what you used and how you did the bag/luggage tag?
