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.

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!

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.

An Apple for the Teacher

Good Morning all! Tanya from Crafting on Caffeine and today is my I-Team Day. Since we are gearing up for school again I thought I would make an apple gift card box for the teacher to show you.  

To put this together I used two collections.  The apple gift card box is from the JGW Pantry Preserves Card Kit.

The words "Teacher" and "Thank you" are from SDS Gearing Up 4 School.

For the leaf I used 3 Girl Jam Crinkle Ribbon.

I also used Trendy Twine Lemon Peppermint (my fav color right now.)

Hope this gives you some inspiration to create some treats of your own for the teachers. Please make sure you share them with us, we love seeing what you make as well!

School Bus Box with Beth

Hello all!  Today I am sharing a project that I created using SVG Attic's Gearing Up 4 School set.

 I made the school bus box to give to my boys' bus driver.  He is so awesome with the kids and deserves a treat once in a while :)  The number of their bus is 02 and that is why I added it to the sides of the bus.  I also cut out an octagon for a stop sign.

 It opens up to holds treats inside.  Believe it or not, there is a whole bag of fun size candy bars in there!

 Here is a close up front view...

 And the back.  I lightly used tan chalk ink on the edges to add a bit more dimension.

You can also find Cyndy's version of this school bus box HERE.  It is very fun and much different than mine!

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Teacher Appreciation Day ~ with Cyndy

Today is Teacher Appreciation Day!  I hope everyone takes a moment to say Thank you to all the dedicated men and women who spend their days molding our children.  It is not an easy task they have.  In honor of Teacher Appreciation Day I decided to make the Teacher Box Card and School Bus box from the SDS Gearing Up 4 School set.

The teacher card is so cute with apple and pencil.

I used my favorite line of paper again.  Graphic 45, ABC Primer.  This is a collection they brought back in the collector's edition.

I cut my bus at 80% and it is still a nice size.  The bus is about 6.5 inches long.

As the end of the school year approaches don't forget about the saints driving our children to school.  They would sure appreciate a little "Thank you" as well.  There is also a Bus Box Card that is super cute in the JGW Back 2 School set (click the link to check it out).


I hope you have enjoyed my project today.

Do what inspires you,
Cyndy G.
