Who is Who

Hello and Happy Sunday :-)

 

Today I want to share with you some nametags/ place cards I made for my youngest son's school.

 

I'm known for not keeping my mouth shut and one day I couldn't help myself commenting on how boring the nametags were. The Teachers reaction: Well....you're creative....why don't you make some for us? :-D Challenge accepted.

 

 

 

I found the cute Pencil Card in the JGW Back 2 School Kit and simply downsized it a bit (75%) and cut to slits in the backside for a small piece of cardstock to fit for the name. I did this so the tag/card can be used for more than one student. 

 

I used AC Cardstock in Melon, Vanilla, Charcoal, Grapefruit, Ash and White and let my Silhouette do all the work for me. All I had to do was assemble the card/tag.

 

Happily it was a succes and they loved it. No more boring white nametags in an otherwise colorful school.

 

Thanks for stopping by and remember to write me a little something - you know I love it <3

Back To School Projects with Beth

Hello all!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  With school starting tomorrow, of course I had to go with that theme for my projects!

 First up, I made the 16 count crayon box file from JGW Back 2 School which fit a delicious homemade peanut butter M&M cookie in a snack sized ziploc bag perfectly!  (The recipe for the cookies can be found HERE if you are interested!)  I tied Midnight Trendy Twine around the boxes.

 I made cards using coordinating paper from DCWV's  Grade School stack.  The two pencil cards are for my older boys who will be going into 2nd and 5th grade.  That file is also from JGW Back 2 School.  I added pink enamel dots from GMD Beach Party dots.  The panel I wrote on is actually the negative cuts from the window opening on the crayon boxes.

 My little guy is going into Jr. Kindergarten this year during the afternoons, so I made a different card for him.  The file for the apple card is from SDS Gearing Up 4 School.  This card has a bow of Midnight Trendy Twine and enamel dots from GMD Watermelon colors.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Back to School

Hello SVG Attic fans! DT Sonja here. Today I bring you a pop up box card from the SDS Gearing Up 4 School file. 

Both of my kids start back to school today, I think we must be the last school district in the US to be starting so late! But today marks an even bigger achievement, my youngest starts preschool. 

To show our gratefulness for the ever so hard job of teaching I made this card for the assistant that will be helping the teacher this year! 

 I changed a few things on the card to make it more specific to the teacher. 

 I added the 'Preschool' at the top as well as the teachers name.

 The ABC and 123 blocks are from the Alpha Blocks set

The two things my daughter really wanted to do at orientation was color and paint. So I decided to pick up a set of markers and paint to give to the teachers.

Back to School Projects

 Today is back to school at our house.

I thought it would be nice to create a couple of projects in honor of the day.

These projects would be great to give as teacher gifts but I think I am going to use them for our "homework" desk here at home.

I started with the Desk Organizer.

I love all the little drawers and the side pockets.  Perfect for storing all of your desk supplies in one place. (I need this!)

Crayon boxes are perfect for elementary kids but what about high schoolers or teachers?

Give them a fun decorated box filled with some m&m's or other treat.  I placed a plastic transparency in the window to keep the treats inside the box.

The last project was this book.  I used a Halloween file (book of spells) and changed it up (a lot).

I omitted all the spooky Halloween stuff and on the spine, instead of using the decorative strips I used washi tape.

3 fun projects to get you excited for back to school!

Apple Core Treat Holder with Beth

Good morning crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.   It is back to school time here and I always like to give my boys a treat on their first day of school, which happens to be tomorrow, and this is what I went with this year.

I knew I had to make a sweet apple core treat holder.  I have always loved that file!  It comes from SVG Attic's G is for Gratitude set.

For the treats, I started off with Medium Candy Bags that fit Hershey's Nuggets perfectly!  I wrapped the candies with patterned cardstock and added the topper.

The toppers use the chalkboard and apple files from SVG Attic's Back to School set.  They are sized to be 2" across to match the width of the candy bag.  I finished them off with a bow of Cherry Midnight Trendy Twine.  All the patterned papers in this project are from DCWV's Grade School stack.

For more details on this project, you can stop by my blog, Beth's Beauties.

Here is a look at the sets that I used to create this project:

3D Locker Gift Box with Beth

Good morning my crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here with you today.  School starts in 11 days here, so I went with a back to school theme.

I created the locker in from the JGW Campus Capers set.  I just added a more sophisticated and modern look to it!  The papers I used are from DCWV's Modern Metallic stack.

The fun part is that the locker opens to be used as a gift box!  The lock even slides off for extra fun.

Want to see all the files that are included in the JGW Campus Capers set?  Here it is!

Practice makes perfect

Well, nearly! Hello all, DT Sonja here to share with you my recent project. While in the store the other day, I wanted to find something to help my son continue his sight words throughout the summer. I figured a whiteboard would be great and save on paper! 

Having two children (7 and 3), led me to pick up two 14 x 14 whiteboards. Which then led me to thinking some vinyl lettering and school related details would be perfect.

To cut down on the arguing over who's is who's, I went to SVG Attic's website and found the SDS Nested Alphabet (for their name) as well as the  Nested Numbers set and the 'Back to School' file.

I also picked up magnetic ABC's and popsicle sticks. I saw this idea on Pinterest and thought it was a great use of my son's old lunch box and a way to keep his letters and sight words all in one spot. 

 I added all the recommended sight words for 1st and 2nd grade as well as a few 3rd grade ones. 

 Not only does each child's name appear at the top of their boards, but each one has different details to make them more individualized! 

 For the crayons, because I didn't have a darker layer of each color, I simply used my eBrush to darken the under layer with sharpie markers.

Trio of Trio Cards with Beth

Hello my crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here, and I decided to make three cards since I needed to get more of those made!

 First up is a card that is going to my sister and brother-in-law as today they finalize the adoption of their sweet little princess!  It is a great day for all of us :)  The Crown Trio card file comes from the JGW Off To The Ball set.  I popped the center crown up with foam tape and embellished the card with sequins and Tickled Pink Trendy Twine.  These patterned papers are from DCWV's Nana's Nursery Baby Girl stack.

Next, I created the Easter Egg trio card that is in the JGW Happy Easter set.  Easter is only a month away and I knew I needed to get motivated on those Easter cards!  The eggs are popped up with foam tape and I added three pearls by the sentiment.  The patterned papers are from the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan paper pad.

Finally, I created the pencil trio card from JGW Campus Capers.  This one will be great to write a note to a teacher or even save it for Teacher Appreciation Week later this spring.

 I embossed the pencils with a linear embossing folder, popped the pencils up with foam tape, and added Totally Black Trendy Twine at the bottom to look like writing.  These patterned papers are from DCWV's Grade School stack.

 I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Here is the project I created:

Beth from Beth's Beauties here, and I created a shadowbox for a teacher using files from SVG Attic's G is for Gratitude set.

 I had so much fun embellishing it!  I added a pencil and a cross paperclip in the top left corner.  I tied a double bow around the pencil using Red Ribbon Candy and Hot Chocolate Crinkled Ribbons.

 In the top right corner, I tied a bit of Grey Gray crinkled ribbon around a crayon.

 I added a strip of ruler washi tape around the whole outside of the shadowbox.

 Last, but not least, I glued an eraser at the bottom for the finishing touch.  The papers I used are from DCWV's new DIY Project Stack: Chalk Party.
