Teacher Gift Set with Corri Garza

Hi everyone!  Corri here today and I’m so excited to be designing again with Lori’s awesome files.


It’s back to school time for my kids so I made a cute gift set for my daughter to take her teacher on the first day of school.

I created my card by cutting the “Best Teacher Ever” (SVG, Silhouette) file and then backing it with black card stock.  I added a couple of stickers and Pufffy Heart stickers to finish it off.

To complete my set, I cut the Apple of my Eye Favor Box.(SVG, Silhouette) This quick and easy box will make a great gift filled with either a some candy or some small school supplies for the teacher.

I hope you enjoyed with cute project today.  Be sure to stop by Lori’s SVG shop to see all the new files that were added this week!  Thanks so much for stopping by.

Fall Shadow Box Tutorial with Brandie

Hi there friends! Brandie here with a fun project to get you in the mood for all the Fall things! Fall is my favorite season. I love the colors, smells, and most importantly the cooler temperatures! ( I live in the desert of Arizona)  For this months project I also challenged myself to use something from the August 2018 Kit of the Month. I picked the Shadow box 11.3×11.3 6 windows. (SVG, Silhouette)

Lori has a great video tutorial on how to assemble the shadow boxes here. I watched it a couple of times to get a good idea on how to assemble the shadow box.

I used Bazzill Marshmallow cardstock for the frames. This cardstock is extra thick and worked beautifully. I used Scotch tacky glue to glue everything together. (except for the outside bottom of the frame.)  After I had the smaller frames lined up in the correct spot I used my scissors to press the insides tabs down to get a good seal on the glue.

For the outside of the frame I added some dark brown twine  to the top of my frame so that I can hang the shadow box. I also used extra strong double sided tape for the last outside section of my frame. I wanted to be sure I had a good quick adherence for the inside tabs I wouldn’t be able to reach with my fingers or scissors.

The front and back of the shadow box is covered with papers from the Celebrate Autumn collection by Echo Park.

Once I had my shadow box assemble I went on to the embellishing. The flowers on top of the shadow box are a sunflower (SVG). I kept them pretty simple. I used a golden brush pen to draw some lines on each petal. I pinched each petal lightly then bent up the end of each petal. I then glued each segment down one on top of the other. For a little added bling I used a brad from the Echo Pack Celebrate Autumn collection for the center of the sunflower.

The paper pumpkins are from the Pop Up Box Card Fall Pickup. (SVG, Silhouette).  I resized them to fit into the window. I also used the tree from this card in the window with the hedgehog.

For the falling leaves window I used the trees, fence, and oak leaves from the  Flexi Card Fall Scene. (SVG, Silhouette)

All of the remaining windows are filled with stickers, tags, ephemera, chipboard, and papers from the Celebrate Autumn collection by Echo Park. The little resin pumpkin, pinecone, acorns, and berries are from floral picks I purchased from Hobby Lobby.

I love how this project turned out. I am so looking forward to Fall! Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy crafting!

Brandie

Teacher Thank You With Anita

Hi Everyone:

Anita here with an adorable lunch bag teacher treat holder.  I used Lori’s cut file called Lunch Bag Thank You Teacher and you can find it here in her store and here in the Silhouette Store.  I used Lori’s brand new collection from Echo Park called Celebrate Autumn. I used her wood grain embossing folder to give the bag some dimension.

This was so easy to create and would fit a gift card perfectly as well as some chocolates.  A little gift to the teacher to get the year off to a great start.

I love the print and cut little chalk board that is part of this set.  Hope you have a chance to check out this cute and so easy to put together gift set as well as many other wonderful fall and back to school designs.

Hugs,

Anita
