Back With More Teacher Gifts

I made all of these covered notepads for the rest of the staff (teaching assistants/former teachers) at my son's preschool.  I also made some for friends and family as part of their Xmas gift (not pictured).  I can't remember but I must have made about 30-something of these.  I started early.

Then I wrapped each in cellophane and tied with a ribbon and a little tag that I stamped and punched out.  It was a long process.

This is a Hello Kitty set that I also made last Xmas.  I embossed each note card with Swiss Dots and used a Hello Kitty embosslit.  I really liked how this set came out.  Last Xmas pretty much everyone got some kind of stationary/notepad set.  The year before that I made sterling silver/beaded cell phone chains.  This year I have a theme too but I have to keep it a secret.  Hopefully, I'll finish in time.  That's it for today.  Thanks for stopping by!

More Teacher Gifts

I made these little desk/stationary sets for my kids' main teachers last Xmas. Yes, more cellophane wrapped gifts!

Included in the set was the little desk caddy. The template is from PTI of course (Lauren Meader's My Timeless Templates). You can see in the photo that there are no printed cut or score lines. Looks clean and neat. I also left out the half circle notch that was supposed to be cut out in the front. Stamp in front is Teacher Anya from The Greeting Farm (another favorite of mine).

There was also a notepad using matching cardstock and monogrammed with the teacher's first initial. The apple is from the same PTI stamp set mentioned below.

A calendar on an easel card was also included.

And lastly, a set of note cards wrapped in matching ribbon (from PTI). I am working on more gifts for teachers since the last day of school is coming fast. Hope to share those with you soon. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Teacher Gifts

I made these stationary sets for my daughter's Nihongo teachers for Xmas last year. It uses the same template as the one mentioned below from PTI. I also used their Teacher's Apple stamp set and the Just Rite Stampers small letter set to write out the teachers' names.

This just shows some of the cards/envelopes I stamped last year for my kids' teachers. Sorry, this picture might be a little blurry.

I also made these Hello Kitty notepads for the Nihongo teachers. I used some Japanese washi paper that I had for many many years. The Hello Kittys are die cut using Sizzix sizzlits. I bought my daughter the Hello Kitty sidekick but I think I may use it more than she does.

Desk Set

Hi, notice the new banner? Took me a little while on photoshop to change the color and add the text. The image is from www.thecutestblogontheblock.com.

I made this desk set as an xmas gift for my husband's boss' wife. Why? Because it's supposedly against the rules to give gifts to your higher ups so we decided to just give his wife a gift.

I found the template for the desktop calendar box here. I bought the calendars from Aunty Lianne at Cute Stuff. I always like to shop for fun and cute stamps at her store especially when I can go there without my kids.

The template for the stationary set is from Papertrey Ink--one of Lauren Meader's templates before she went out on her own. I love Papertrey Ink stamps and cardstock. Usually when I use printable templates I print them out on scratch paper and then measure where all the score and cut lines should be and transfer that onto the cardstock or paper I'm going to use cause I don't like it when all the printed score/cut lines show. Then I'd have to spend more time trying to hide the printed score/cut lines with paper or something else.

The little notepad and notepad cover template is also from Papertrey Ink (here). The monogrammed letter & circle border is from Just Rite Stampers. The other stamps are from various Stampin' Up sets.
