Cool Treats for Teacher Appreciation

I have a quick post for you this afternoon. As you probably know, it was Teacher Appreciation Week this week. I would have loved to do something for Jenna's teacher every day, but that just wasn't going to happen this year. So we did a fun gift today, and her teacher loved it!

I thought the Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelits would go perfectly with an ice cream gift. The card is just flat, and we wrote on the back. Ice cream toppings fit nicely in the 6 x 17 Gusseted Cello Bags, and I tied it all up with the Lemon Lime Twist Mini Striped Ribbon. Most of these products are retiring, so make sure to snatch them up before they disappear! This gift would also be great as an end of the year teacher gift, so if you missed out on Teacher Appreciation, keep that in mind.

Stamps: Cool Treats
Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist, Crumb Cake
Paper: Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White
Accessories & Tools: Frozen Treats Framelits, Big Shot, Whisper White Baker's Twine, Silver Mini Sequin Trim, Lemon Lime Twist Mini Striped Ribbon, 6 x 17 Gusseted Cello Bags

Happy Stamping!

June 2017 Paper Pumpkin: One in a Melon

Some of you probably know that I used to be a teacher. And to my surprise, my daughter is now attending school at the first school I taught at. Teachers have a special place in my heart, and especially these teachers, some of whom I taught with for four years. I wanted to do something special for them on the first day of school, and June's Paper Pumpkin kit was the perfect solution!

As soon as I received this kit, I knew that I wanted to use it for the first day of school teacher treats. So I purchased a refill kit as well, giving me enough for the 8 teachers at my daughter's school. (Refill kits are available only to Paper Pumpkin subscribers - an awesome perk!) Each teacher got a little gift bag and a card wishing them well on the new school year.

Inside each gift bag, I filled one of our 6 x 8 Cellophane Bags with sweet little gummy watermelons that I found at Walmart for 98 cents. (I forgot to take a picture - sorry!)


Since I had a few extra supplies from my two kits, I also made an alternate card using the Cool Treats stamp set. The sentiment from that set paired perfectly with the watermelons!

Paper Pumpkin kits have been really great recently! September's kit promises to be a good one, too! Stampin' Up! has been dropping some hints, so here's what I know: there will be beautiful embellishments, it will get you in the mood for fall, and it will be a fall-themed project bedecked with stamped leaves and laser-cut, gold foil stickers. And the best part is that if you are a new subscriber, you can get September's kit at 50% off! Click here to subscribe, and make sure to enter the promo code HALFOFF0917.

Cool Treats Classes to Go

I am excited to offer you two new Classes to Go this month! It has been awhile since I've been able to offer a class to go, but I hope to make this a monthly occurrence again. Each month, I plan to offer two options - a card-making option and a scrapbooking option. Both will use the same stamp set, so you can get both options and pay only a little bit more for the second class. If you choose the scrapbooking option, please know that shipping will be a bit higher since the 12" x 12" pages will need to be shipped in a Medium Flat Rate Box.

Are you ready to see this month's choices? Here they are!

The card class includes the Cool Treats stamp set, White Baker's Twine, and the supplies and instructions to make the 4 cards pictured.
The scrapbooking class includes the Cool Treats stamp set, Sprinkles Embellishments, Fine Tip Glue, and the supplies and instructions to make the three 12" x 12" scrapbook pages pictured. You supply your own inks and adhesive.


The cost for the card class is $43 for local pick-up or $50 shipped.
The cost for the scrapbooking class is $56 for local pick-up or $70 shipped.
If you would like both classes, the cost is $65 for local pick-up or $80 shipped.
You can also purchase the tutorial only for $20.
The deadline to register for these classes is May 23. Your class kits will ship by May 31.
Please email me to purchase any of the options listed above.


Bonus: If you place an additional order of at least $25 now through May 23 using hostess code 6DGWA3ZA, I will send an extra set of cards with your kit! This is a great way to purchase any coordinating inks or adhesives you need to complete your projects. Coordinating colors this month are Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Peekaboo Peach, Pear Pizzazz, Watermelon Wonder, and Whisper White Craft ink.

Happy Stamping!
