Digital Inspiration with Ashley

It’s already May!  Most school year’s are winding down around these parts.  It’s often a time to say thanks to teachers, volunteers, and others.  Lori has some cute Teacher Appreciation Tags available here.  I made a tag to go along with a movie theme using some of Lori’s files.  Files used: Popcorn Box: http://shop.loriwhitlock.com/pop-up-box-card-popcorn/

Kinder Font from Rivka

Perfect Type Font at Lori’s Shop or at Snap, Click, Supply.

Snap, Click, Supply has a sale on digital supplies: 50% off.  So go gather some of Lori’s files and also the collections that Lori designs for Echo Park.

Have a great weekend.

Chalkboard Card for a Teacher Using Cricut Design Space with Karin

I made this adorable chalkboard card that you can use to give a special teacher a gift card.

To make the card, I brought the files into Design Space by choosing Upload Image.
20160517-2016-05-16_23-33-57
I opened the image of the cutting file (JPG) in Preview on my Mac and just moved that window onto the screen next to the cutting file pieces so I could see the colours used in the original project. In this case, I loved the colours because they are nice and bright so I used all the same colours for my card. I even had a great piece of wood grain patterned paper.

To change the colours of the components in Design Space, all I did was click the piece, that piece is highlighted in the Layers panel, then I clicked the scissors icon and then the colour I wanted for that piece.

Here you can see that I changed the colour of these tabs to red.

Before clicking Go, I selected the individual pieces by drawing a rectangle around them and then I right clicked and chose Attach. This is so that the little circular cuts and scoring lines stay in the right place on that particular piece.

After I cut and assembled the pieces, I used some baker’s twine to string the banner pieces along.

I put knots in the baker’s twine to attach the legs at the front and back.

I just used my ATG gun to put adhesive on the back of the iTunes card and attached it to the back of the card.
20160517-_MG_5132
I stamped a sentiment on the front of the card. The You Rock stamp is from the Avery Elle Celebrate Stamp set. I used American Crafts Zing Embossing Powder in White Opaque Finish, my VersaMark watermark stamp pad and my Ranger Black Heat Tool for the sentiment.

Sweet Teacher Gift with Angi

Happy Monday everyone! This is Angi from Twenty Five Smiles here with a fun gift idea for teachers. I am a teacher myself and love getting sweet gifts from my students. And we are only a month away from Teacher Appreciation day on May 3rd, why not make a handmade little something for your child’s teacher?

 

I browsed through Lori’s cut files and found this adorable 3D Apple Favor Box (here in the Silhouette Store) You can adjust the size to make it as big or as small as you like. It’s great for candy, trinkets, and even gift cards. You can add a small pencil embellishment inside as well.

Be sure to check out all of the teacher themed cut files in the SVG Shop. My favorites are the Teacher Thank you TagsA2 Chalkboard Teacher Card, and the Teacher Phrases.

 

I hope you enjoyed my fun project today! And don’t forget to thank a teacher!
