Teacher Appreciation Gift Tags

Hello!

Hope this finds all of you enjoying some beautiful days. Once the rain stopped here, the past couple days have been absolutely glorious!

I had the pleasure to create some gift tags for our grandchildren's teachers for their upcoming Teacher Appreciation Week.  A while back, on an on-line shopping adventure, a fun set of dies jumped right into my cart.  Seriously!  For reals!  This Die-Namics Lip Balm Frame die set from My Favorite Things seemed perfect for a fun teacher tag. I found some pretty cute bee paper and stickers at Hobby Lobby, then computer generated all the printing.  Here's how they turned out:

Here's how the tag looks hanging over a bottle of Bath and Body Works.

Here are all 15 of them!

I've also seen this die used with mini candies, like those teensy M and M's....how cute is that?

Hope these made you smile!

Hugs and blessings,

Patti J.

P.S. I'm off this week on another adventure.  I'm proudly packing my Grandma Hat and going to Salt Lake City. I'll meet DD there, and I get to keep the baby (squeal!!!) while momma presents at a conference.  Happy happy, joy joy!  Anyway, I'll be MIA again for a week.  Will miss you all!

Thanks for stopping by!

No tags or cards!

Happy Sunday!

This week at Great Impressions, the DT will be featuring a 'No Cards, No Tags' week, with a focus on Teacher Appreciation gift ideas.  Be sure to check out the Great Impressions Blog each day,

the inspiration will be endless!

Grab that cup of coffee, sit a spell, and let me show you what I created, using two of the new release stamps from Great Impressions, 'One in a Million', and 'Teddy with Flowers'.

I have been purchasing this size of tissue container for my car. It fits nicely in the little cubby where my drink holders are, leaving ample room on either side for phone, snacks, etc.

I figured out that if one is very persistent and careful, one can pop this top off of an empty tissue box, carefully trim the cardboard oval, and glue the lid right back into the box!  Before gluing this lid back in,

I measured up a few inches from the bottom, trimming my box to be shorter.

The entire box was then wrapped, by gluing crayons around the outside.

I added a piece of pretty ribbon, Teddy with Flowers, and the sentiment, which was tricky!

Since we weren't using cards or tags, what to do?  WELL!  Every teacher needs magnets,

right?  Ta da!

Here is a shot of my 'non tag'.  Gluing it to the paper clip made it look all 'teachery', and adding the magnet made it all useful - I think it turned out pretty well.  What do you think?

Thanks for dropping by today!

Be sure to check out each day's inspiration at the Great Impressions Blog - it's going to be a very fun week!

Hugs and smiles,

Patti J.
