Alex's teacher gifts

I had to make 6 gifts for Alex's teachers tonight. She has her 1st grade teacher plus 5 resource teachers. I filled them with Hershey Kisses and Peppermint Patties. I think they turned out really nicely. I'm so glad that Valentine's Day is almost over so I can start focusing on other themes. YAY!

The first picture is of Alex's 1st grade teacher's box. Hers is a little bigger than the ones for the resource teachers, only because I was playing around with the size....and then decided it was bigger than what I wanted to use, so the rest are 3 inches. Hers is 4 inches.



This is 3 of the 5 boxes I made for the resource teachers. I couldn't get them all in the picture.


I made a card like this for each box.

Sam's teacher gifts

I made these cute little boxes for Sam's 2 teachers and the director of the preschool. They're filled with Hershey kisses. So cute. :)

A Box of Kisses

I am so happy with how tonight's project turned out! I made a cute little silver box with some amazingly sturdy cardstock I just got at Michael's. I added some color and attached a handle with some brads. Voila! Adorable little box that I plan to fill with Hershey Kisses and give as a V-Day gift! Perfect.

The box is 5 inches tall, 4 inches wide, and 2 inches deep.

Valentine's Day teacher gift

I made the first of the Valentine's Day gifts for Alex's teachers (5 total, including resource teachers). I covered a cute clip with pretty paper, tied ribbon around it, and stuck a little stamped scallop circle in there so the teacher would know it's meant to hold something...a picture, a note, etc. I put the clip and a peppermint patty in a little plastic bag, and stapled it inside the pouch I made. I think it turned out pretty darn cute. :) Alex is also going to make a card to go along with it.

Simple

Not a lot of time tonight, but I made a commitment to myself. So I wanted to at least make a quick and easy little card. This is just a little 3x3 valentine.

More Valentine's fun!

Today I got my new Stampin' Up! heart punch. I LOVE it! It's going to be so useful. So I decided to do a couple of Valentine projects today, a Valentine's Day card and a Valentine's bookmark.

I'm pretty happy with this card besides the one little smudge. I think it's really cute!

I think the bookmark turned out nicely. I still need to add the ribbon at the top, but I'm torn about what color/pattern I want to use.

Cards for the mini magazine holder

So, I decided to go ahead and make some cards to go in the holder. I realized after I made the holder that my paper selection in that color family is very limited....and I don't have a purple stamp pad. So, I just made the best of it and played with the color scheme a little.

A simple little Valentine's Day card

Here's the front of the card (3 x 3 inch)...

And here's the inside...

Simple, but fun. I'm not sure what I'll use it for yet. But I might make several of them to give to friends at work. It was very easy...took about 5 minutes.

***In my defense...the little white hearts on the front are a bit smudged in some spots. It was my very first time using Stampin' Up!'s craft ink pad. I didn't realize that it wasn't firm....so the stamp got a bit over-inked. Still a cute card, but something I corrected when I got to the inside. ;)
