Teacher Gift

Hello crafty friends :o)   I'm here today with my Simply Crafty SVGs post.  It's hard to believe with this crazy world we live in, that schools are thinking about starting back up again.  For many parents it's a sign of relief, that their growing minds will keep growing with needed information.

What's a better way to welcoming back school, then sending the teacher's a gift at the beginning of the school year.  Fill with goodies, items that might be needed; chocolate, mints and aspirin are always great gifts :o)

This id the 3D Pencil Box from Simply Crafty SVGs.  I did some sponging with ink for some depth to the box.

No eraser every used is perfectly clean, smudge marks had to be added.   I had this cute ribbon sitting around that was perfect addition.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

Mix It Up Challenge Blog #40: Embossed Tag

Hello crafty friends :o)   It's hard to believe summer is almost over and I love the warm weather.  Hopefully you have enjoyed some outside time during our lock down. 

This post is for Mix It Up Challenge Blog, this month we want to see projects with embossing; wet or dry.

I made a tag with lots of distresses inks on the background and some scrap pieces on kraft paper.  I stamped an image on kraft paper and  used white embossing.  The image was colored with my Prismaclor pencils. 

On the scrap piece I stamped a little text image on a ink distress paper and wet embossed with black powder.  I also used some scraps and tissue paper that was distressed with inks.  I stapled these pieces together before attaching to the tag.

Love to Craft Challenge Blog #49: It's in the Box

Hello crafty friends :o)   New month and new challenges to enter.

This is my project for Love to Craft Challenge Blog, where every month is Anything Goes.

Every year I make my wonderful Chiropractor a birthday card.  Every year, he lets me know he can't wait to see this year's card .... that's a lot of pressure.   Knowing he was taking his family to the beach for some down time and how much he loves candy, I made him a gift box this year.  I used the free Polkadoodles bundle called Winnie Heroes.   I just used the upper half of the image :o)

Used some die cut sentiment for the back.

Such a cute box and it was a hit.

Love to Scrap Challenge Blog #136: Baseball Bench

Hello crafty friends :o)   It's hard to believe it's already August, being stuck in the house does not slow down time.   Lots of inspiration today with all the sister blogs starting new challenges.

This post is for Love to Scrap! Challenge Blog, this month, we want to see projects for the kids.

This is a 3-D card, it folds up nicely in a envelope to send it.   This is a SVG file Baseball Bench Box Card from Simply Crafty SVG.   I used real wood for the bench panels and distress ink on the wood.  To make the benches look a little more real, brads were used like bolts to connect the bench pieces together. 

I different view.
