box of cards for teacher
Teacher gifts are my focus at the moment - the holiday are rapidly approaching and with three children plus teacher aides, school secretaries, the school nurse - and I want them all to be special, so I am starting now.
I created enough apple punches (Martha's apple punch), border strips, ribbon snippets, and so forth for all cards needed - these were made assembly-style for speed. I punched the red apple (Memory Box Cranberry) with a 1/8" hole punch and threaded a white brad as a highlight. October Afternoon's newest Farm Fresh cardstock papers, Memory Box Vanilla Bean cardstock, and Gourd card base and coordinating envelopes completed the package.
I lined each clear-lidded gift box (nashvillewraps.com # SB738) with some of the Farm Fresh cardstock, to give the presentation a professional appearance. Ribbon used is May Arts celery grosgrain.
Card interior - This is from Verses Rubber Stamps. These paired with a coordinating notebook (a'la Mish) will make the perfect gift!
perfection! love the OA paper!

GREAT stuff lately! LOVE the papers you're using. May have to try one of those tent topper cards as they sure are super-duper cute. Best witches for a Happy Halloween, Cindy!
