Hi Crafters,

I recently won a blog candy from Pauline, check out her blog, she makes some fabulous projects. It was a magazine with dies and stamps attached and I couldn't wait to get started.

Here are the post-it note holders that I made and a card.

The die cuts the outline and a filigree centre, it's very pretty and versatile. Then there's the matching stamp too and some useful sentiments.

I love this wavy sentiment stamp, I can see me using this one a lot.

Well this post is rather late in the day, I've been busy getting some orders finished, poor hubby hasn't seen me all evening :o/ Now I'm done in and ready for bed so I'll toddle off now and see you soon.

Teachers' Cards and Gifts

Hi Crafters,

 

I've been busy making lots of cards and gifts for Teachers to sell on my stall at various venues as the end of term approaches and thought I would share them with you today.

Here are a couple of card designs that I made a few of..

 

 I used papers from Lori Whitlock 'School Days' Collection, some tiny brads, Sizzix 'ledger' embossing folder, Stampin' Up hole punch and an apple paper clip.

 

 These were cut on my Cameo and pieced together, they are shaped like a tab folder and are really cute.

 

I covered lots of these hard backed notebooks using papers from Raspberry Road 'Apple Cider' Collection and even personalised some with the names of the Teachers for special orders.

 

  I always have these 'Post It' note holders on my stall as they sell very well but as you can see I made some with a school theme too.

These are lip balm and nail files in a little holder using a Stampin' Up tutorial and the candle holders below are an idea from Sam Pootle that I sized up to fit my perfumed tea-lights.

 

...and finally I made these pencil holders on my Cameo and added a bar of chocolate inside ( who doesn't like chocolate?)
