Strawberry Explosion: Teacher Gifts

This is a picture heavy blog post today!

End of the school year is this coming week (YEA!!!!).  I'm sure my kids are excited, but not by much.  Yes, I was the over achiever all those years, but I'm old now :).  I am ready for homework-free evenings.

As you can see it *appears* as though I went all out for the teachers this year, but really these products made it super simple.  The stamping was amazingly simple and easy and I stayed with the same color theme for each one.  I used DT's idea for a pouch (anyone? who's was it??) from the berry basket die.  I bought cellophane wrap and my daughter insisted on the curly-Q ribbon (and she was right!) and voila!

Enjoy!

Make it Monday: Heat Embossing

So excited that I can post a project for another PTI Make it Monday! This week focuses on heat embossing.  Here I have used clear embossing powder with versamark on the Spring Rain cs with TS: II.  Also, I used All Booked Up on the circle image with black embossing powder.  I used watercolor pencils for the coloring.  All the other distressing and stamping look was done with PTI Tie Dye Duo.  I created the doily and tiny tag with my cricut.  The Storybook cartridge at 3" in Fine Linen for the doily and Plantan Schoolbook at 1" in Sweet Blush Bitty Dot paper.  The scallop circle was cut from the cricut at 2" in Hibiscus Burst.

I hope you join in and create something with heat embossing!  If you do, post your creation to the link page by Monday April 11th at 7am to be entered for a prize!

Enjoy!
