Teacher Appreciation Bouquets

Got this idea from one of the Cricut newsletters:





Simple flowers of various sizes and added a cherry cordial Hershey kiss in the middle:

Added a butterfly with teacher's name and filled with M&M's and a few more Kisses (couldn't let those go to waste!):

All 9 of them:

Teacher Appreciation - Popcorn box

Simple popcorn box from TBBM and then "re-loaded" and used Cricut markers to drawn red lines on (this proved hard to line up!). Filled with treats:





Added sentiment as a "ticket":






For all my staff:

Teacher Appreciation - Chocolate bars

Adapted Carla's chocolate bar cover to fit this GIANT Hershey bar (4.4 oz):







Added sentiment: "Having teachers like you at our Center is a treat. Your care and commitment make learning SWEET!"

For all my child care center staff:

Bridesmaid Thank You cards

Had a request for Jen C's purse cards to use as Thank you notes for her Bridesmaids. I'd never made them before but I like them! Super easy!

Yarn trim for texture and stickles for "bling".

Here's Joanie's (loves purple) card:


Used "eyelash" yarn for trim and stickles again. Added a flower to hers too. Used "Traffic Jam" CB folder to emboss. Oh, this is Kerri's favorite color - blue:

Used "eyelash" yarn for trim and George flowers, stickles on the buckle! Used "Spots and Dots" CB folder to emboss. Laura loves black and pink, so here's her card:

Here's the LINK to Jen C's blog. She is an amazing designer and special, kind person! Leave her a comment if you would like the cut file.

Thank You Notes and Bouquet

Some Thank you notes (for the guys) and a Thank You Bouquet (for the lady) on my Renovation Team at work! What a great team!

Used marbles as a filler, never tried this before. Works pretty good, but I think I like floral foam better (more flexibility).

3 thank you notes for the guys:

Put a few rectangles (with DS) in the bottom of the card front so I could weave paper in and give it some color. Embossed the front with the "Thanks" CB folder:

trimmed off part of the front of the card, so the striped trim would show:
