Teacher~First Day of School Treats

Hi everyone!

I have another project to share with you today!

But if you are looking for my This to That Challenge #4 with The Digi Bistro please click here.

Back to school time for my boys today and I wanted to make something little for them to take to their teachers :) ~ Nothing like a little kiss up right from the beginning right!?!?!

This is what I made for them....

I made Milk Cartons  using a file from The Cutting Cafe.

Not too long ago Regina had a special...all the milk cartons for one price...yup I jumped at the chance and purchased them all.

This is the plain one I cut out on paper from Me & My Big Idea's

The background frame is cut from Gypsy Wanderings at 2.6" and then stamped with SU Petite Patterns in Mellow Moss Ink

The apple is from Create a Critter, cut at 1.96" and stamped with PK~491 Everyday Character Faces

I did add some white gel pen to the faces and Creative Inspirations Paint in Winter Frost.

The tag was cut from The Digi Bistro's Tag It! SVG file at 2.5" and inked with Mellow Moss, painted with Winter Frost and stamped with Memento Ink~Afterthoughts sentiments from SU.

The whole this was put together with red line tape, filled with Hershey bars and tied up with Martha Stewart Fern Seam Binding.

Hope the teachers enjoy their treats :)

"Three Times a Charm"~ Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #19

Hi everyone!

It is time for another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge!

Our fellow DT member Amber~ Staying Crafty chose this weeks challenge....which is

 "Three Times a Charm". We were to create a project using 3 cuts, 3 colors only and 3 of the same embellishments.

When I read the challenge requirement I thought "hey this doesn't sound to difficult" but when I sat down to create I was stumped!

I ended up going through all my stamps and found a dollar bin one that is the inspiration for my card.

Ok so I had this stamp and I knew there was a cut on the Preserves Cartridge with a pear on it but when I looked at the booklet there are 3 cuts per pear so I got out my handy dandy gypsy and began playing with the two base cuts.

I was able after much manipulation weld the bottom layer and the next layer. Tada...all I had to do was cut the top layer out twice and I had my pear cut ~~I actually cheated and made 4 cuts..but don't tell anyone :)

I did pop one of the top layers up to give it some dimension.

Alittle inking around the layers also...I just love how it adds so much more to a cut.

My color choice for this was brown, green and pink. Love those colors together and the pattern paper was perfect for this...brown with pink stripes

I embellished with 3 glittery brads and stamped my sentiment with brown memento ink.

Ok so I hope I have inspired you to create a project for this weeks challenge.

There is a great prize for the winner....

The Nursery Rhymes Cartridge.

Remember you have 2 weeks to enter...plenty of time to create!

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you all over at Whimsical Wednesday!
