Teacher Appreciation Gifts Gable Box

May 7th is Teacher Appreciation Week and as a gift to the teachers in my school, I have chosen to make this cute little "Gable Box" that is created from a single sheet of 8 1/2" x 11" paper. I stamped directly on the paper after I scored and cut, but before folding and glueing. The belly band around the box is 1" thick and 12" long. I put the teacher's first name monogram on each box to personalize it.


For the treat inside, I have placed 5 cookies inside a plastic bag with a twisty-tie.

Embossed Flowers

Tonight I made two cards that were requested by customers...I punched on Whisper White using the Blossom Punch and then sent it through the embossing machine...followed up by inking around the edges of the Blossom flower  with Pool Party Ink.

KISS... Keep it Simple Stamping

Simplicity...cased this card from Mercedes Weber and just had to make one of my own. The original didn't have any embossing, but I can never leave well enough alone. On my second card I added the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Die #117335.  After I finished the second card, I was surprised. My motto of "embossed is better" didn't hold up on this card...guess there is a first for everything! I still like both and the design is certainly appealing.
