I know I'm rambling (and bragging on my son a little) but I said all that to say that teachers have a hard job and I try to let Jacob's teachers know that we appreciate them. I visited my home away from home - Michael's - and found some pretty little notepads. I can never have too many notepads around so I bought enough for all three teachers and decided to decorate the gift bags with crowns to match the pads.
- I used the Indie Art cartridge to cut the shadow crown out of black cardstock measuring 3".
- I then cut the top of the crown out of "red glitter paper" at 3".
- I had to set the Expression to cut the top twice each time because the paper was so thick even with the deep cut blade.
- I then popped the top of the crown on the shadow with black pop dots and adhered the crowns to the bags.
- I cut 2" shadow crowns for gift tags and tied them to the bags with ribbon. I wrote the teachers names on the tags with a Metallic Grey Sharpie.
Love the colors and the teachers are sure to love them too!! TFS

They are fabulous Donna I love them and boy oh boy what a brilliant son you have! And I agree what they are learning in school now I don't think we ever learned, makes it hard to help with homework
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous. You're so lucky Jacob is enjoying learning. What a smart boy. I'm amazed what my GS is doing in Kindergarten. Notepads are a great idea.
ReplyDeleteDonna,
ReplyDeleteFirst I must say "way to go Jacob", great job!
Ok, now I can how fabulous and thoughtful these are. I love them
Hugs, Stacy
such a wonderful idea.. they are amazing
ReplyDeletevery nice. I really like that you did something different today, and so creative. I am sure you will make the teachers day!! That glitter paper is so nice, but it really plays havic on the machine and blade. I ruined half a sheet of glitter paper because I didn't cut it twice on the Cricut.
