On Your Way to Retirement

Hello all. Sonja with Sugar Bean Cards here with my latest project. In 2017, I made a set of these cute Bus Box Cards for my son's bus drivers found in the JGW Back 2 School set.

Well one of his drivers called and asked if I could make a retirement card for a co-worker using that file. So I got to work...

I like to add personalizations to my cards like the recipients name or other requested details.

I decided to use the same color for all the bus yellow parts, but detail with a brush of ink here or there.

The back is left blank for a message

Lies down flat to fit into an envelope for delivery!

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!

Bus Driver Appreciation Week

Hello all. I-team member Sonja here with two projects I made using the collapsible bus card from the JGW Back 2 School file. 

A few years back, I created the bus box from the SDS Gearing Up 4 School file for my son's driver at that time. I filled it with all sorts of little goodies that I think a driver needs. Like ear plugs and Advil. 

Last week was bus driver appreciation week for my son's school. He has had the same driver's for two years and I always like to do something special for them. Remembering the bus box I did a few years ago, gave me the inspiration to do this bus bucket set for their gifts!

 I decided to go with an all things yellow theme for their gift buckets. Why? Because we DEFINITELY could use some sunshine in these parts! Plus it matches the bus's so why not. 

 Each gift bucket has a chapstick, gum, two kinds of candies, a plant to grow, and a little duck.

 Each bus is the same with the exception of customizing a few things like their names on the side. 

I used my eBrush to spray subtle yellow highlights around each object on the light and dark yellow cardstock. 

 I added brads for the headlights and ran the chrome bumpers and silver lining of the wheels through my Sizzix Big Shot with a Darice embossing folder. 

 A few changes: I moved the stop sign to the drivers side and added a little extension arm so it moves. I added brads to the wheels for a little pop of texture. 

 The back of the bus, I wanted to have the message for each recipient. Plus I added tires and lights to match the front of the bus.

 Overall, I think they will enjoy their gifts and be able to keep the bus card for a long time. 

 I have it on a good authority that his bus driver from 2015 has kept a few of my projects on his desk when he was promoted!
