Dressing up a baked treat box with designer series paper

Dress up a baked goods box with one sheet of paper! Tomorrow is Teacher Appreciation Week.  I like to do a little something homemade or edible, to go along with a more practical gift....gift cards.  It's my way of doing a good balance between something thoughtful and something everyone likes (to pick their own gift!). At my last Stamp Club, our hostess brought a coffee cake from Ettore's (Lemon Poppyseed and Blueberry).  It was AMAZING!  She bought it at the local Nugget.  So I decided to go and get something similar to add to our teacher gifts.   Now while I think the yummy treats are great, I wanted to dress up the box to make it a little cuter.  So I took a piece of designer series paper that matched the cards and notebooks we had done and did a little measuring.  It was pretty simple and fast to get a lid together. Here is what I did.  I measured my box and added 2 inches to all sides to see how much paper I needed.  So my 7x7 box needed a 11x11 sheet of paper.  Then I scored all sides by 1 7/8''.  Scoring by a little less than the 2'' gave me a little wiggle room to make sure the box lid slid on and off easily.  Then I folded all side and cut like the picture below. Add a little glue and your done! Give it a try!  Feel free to ask me if you need more clarification.

Teacher Cards Gift Set

One thing I love to make is card gift sets and I always make them as teacher gifts.  I love and appreciate how hard my kids teachers work.  So for teacher appreciation week I like to show them my appreciation with something hand made by me ....along with a practical, and always favorite gift card!  I love hand made, but also give a sure to love item too!

So here is my teacher appreciation gift card set for this year.  I used my new favorite Gift Bag Punch Board to make the bag (size- large).  Coincidentally, it is on sale until Tuesday for $15 (regular $20)...see below for link.  I also used the SchoolHouse Designer Series Paper as my focal point and the crumb cake note cards (another favorite and easy to use pre-cut card). I did a few variations on the card fronts, which do you like better?!

Teacher Appreciation Gifts

 

We love our teachers!  I truly appreciate the work they do and the dedication they put into our kids.  Here is my part 1 appreciation for our teachers this year.  I like to give something handmade first, because that is what I love to do....then later in the week I'll give something else (not handmade!) lol In past years I made things with a teaching theme.  This year, I loved this flower and colors that I chose a summer/springy theme instead.

 

This kit includes a notepad, card set, and a lollipop favor all wrapped up in cello bags.

 

Come back tomorrow for a 2 minute video I pre-posted on how to make the Quick and Easy Lollipop favor.

 

Happy Back to School!

Happy Back to School!
Well all good things have to come to an end!  My girls had a blast this summer but there summer is coming to an end.  To kick of the year on a good note ;) , I made some chocolate favors to give to their teachers, old teachers, and other staff.  I used It's a Wrap Occasions stamp set. 

Happy Stampin'

Just a little note...

A couple weeks ago was Teacher Appreciation week.  Both of my girls have 2 teachers that we LOVE.  I wanted to make quick but nice cards to send to them on this week.  I cased this card from somewhere (not sure).  I loved the way the Vintage Wall paper looked on the Cherry Cobbler CS.  I used the Hostess Level 2 Stamp Set- Apple Blossoms. I know it is a bit overused, but I love apple teacher stuff!  I wonder if teachers like it?! 

Have a great night!
