Calculator Card

Hello friends! Today, I’m excited to share a fun project that I made with one of Lori Whitlock’s amazing cutting files called Box Card Calculator School. I was inspired by the back to school season and I thought this calculator shaped card was just so cute. Check out it’s little face. I love it!

Calculator Box Greeting Card with Apple, Pencil, & Star

For the base of the calculator, I used an adorable star paper called Balloons from Echo Park’s, A Magical Place collection (designed by Lori Whitlock). For the apple, pencil, and the star I chose some of the solid papers
from Echo Park’s, Fun On The Farm Collection (also designed by Lori).

The box has space in between the layers where you could hide a small note, a gift card, or money but since there’s no bottom to the card, you would need to add a little tape.

This would be a fun surprise to hide in a student’s back pack or lunch box on their first day. It would also be perfect for a teacher or … a co-worker that’s great with numbers. What a nice way to brighten their day.

The card folds flat so it can be placed in an A2 envelope, sent through the mail or stored as a memento. For help with assembly, see this shaped box card tutorial.  Lori has so many awesome cutting files. I hope you’ll give this one a try! You can find this file in SVG format in Lori Whitlock’s shop here and in the Silhouette Store here.

Back to School Projects as Easy as ABC

Hi there paper crafting friends!  It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, popping in on the blog to share some easy back to school projects using Lori’s School Rules collection by Echo Park Paper Co.  This week, I focused on apples for the teacher and made three different projects that are perfect for saying “Thank you” to your child’s teachers.  I used three different files including the Sticky Note Easel Card Apple (SVG, Silhouette), the Gift Card Holder Apple (SVG, Silhouette), and the Apple Favor Bag (SVG, Silhouette).

Although all of the projects are super cute and easy to put together, I think my favorite is the Sticky Note Easel Card (SVG, Silhouette).  This cute easel card features an apple that stands up behind a sticky note pad. What a fun gift/card for a teacher! You can personalize it by writing a short message on the sticky notes before giving it to the teacher.

If you have any teacher friends or relatives in the field, you know they spend A LOT of their own money decorating their classrooms and supplying materials for various learning experiences.  Consider helping out with the purchase of a gift card from Target/Walmart or your local teaching supply store.  The Gift Card Holder Apple (SVG, Silhouette) features a pocket for a gift card on the inside. It’s a great way to show teachers your support for all they do.

Finally, the Apple Favor Bag (SVG, Silhouette) can be used when giving candy or other treats like hand sanitizer, chapstick, lotion, etc.  I added a sentiment from the School Rules collection for a personalized touch and used foam tape to give the apple and sentiment a little pop.

If you are looking for super cute teacher gifts for back to school or teacher appreciation, I suggest you check out Lori’s collection school themed cut files.  You can find a variety of cards, favor bags, and other projects to celebrate the new school year.

Until next time,

Michelle
