Gosh! I left you post-less for quite a while, didn’t I? I’ve been doing my best to finish my contribution to this month’s WMS Blog Party but between taking care of Julka and a trip to in-laws, I’m making it under the wire! It didn’t help that it was an especially intense evening, with bubs not wanting to let me go under the threat of crying, until we realized that she’s actually having tummy ache and gave her gripe water. It helped! Yay! …hopefully. Fingers crossed, ’cause I do want to finish this post some time before dawn, lol
Anyway. The theme this month is Teacher Appreciation. It’s the subject I don’t normally tackle, since my kids are not school age yet. However, Zuzia does have a fantastic carer at the family day care she attends, and I saw that as a great opportunity to create a sweet little ensemble for her, to let her know how much I appreciate everything she does. The set consists of a gift card holder, a mini pillow box for some sweet treats and a matching card. I used extensively here, the oldie but goldie Fine & Dandy paper collection by My Mind’s Eye.
The gift card holder was cut with the PTI die and decorated with the label cut with Spellbinders Labels 18 and stamped with Vintage Labels 18, Eat Cake (flowers), and Fancy Phrases (sentiment).
The pillow box was cut using my Silhouette Cameo, decorated with some baker’s twine and a little rose.
For the card, I cut an apple from cork paper (PTI die), and stamped the label (also from Vintage Labels 18) around it. I decorated it with a wood veneer star (Studio Calico) and added the same baker’s twine as above, piercing the holes just inside the sides of the label.
I’m entering CFC101 with this card…
…plus The Gift Packaging Challenge in the Moxie Fab World, with the whole ensemble 
You can check out the rest of the submissions to the Blog Party, at the WMS BLOG. Thanks for stopping by, wish me luck with getting a wee bit of “time off” tomorrow so that I can prepare the post I had in mind for tomorrow!
