I love finding creative (and cute) ways to say thank you to the teachers and staff at the kids' school. From finding fun ways to dress up (literally) practical gifts...
... to adorable ways to house a gift ...
.... to making super simple, yummy treats!
Lots of teacher gift and card ideas in my new article over at Fiskars here.
You may know by now that I have an obsession with felt.
So it shouldn't be a surprise that I came up with ways to incorporate it into gift wrap for my newest project over at Fiskars.
It easily and inexpensively adds a ton of texture ....
... and personality to your gifts. You can view all wrappings, photos, and step-by-step directions here.
And speaking of gifts, I wanted to share a link to a free Holiday Gift Guide I enjoyed from Discover Paper blog full of cool paper gifts!
I was excited to get a chance to use the new interchangeable border punches from Fiskars.
They function the same way as their regular border punches, except you can pop out different design cartridges so they store very compactly!
I used them to spice up the popular paper strip ornaments.
You can view full photos and details in my article here at Fiskars.
I wanted to pass along an awesome idea I found here when searching for bake sale ideas for our school's Harvest Fest. She came up with the genius idea of using 9 oz. plastic cups wrapped in treat bags to individually package cupcakes. I added a little spoon tied on to mine because I just like eating cupcakes with spoons (I know I'm weird).
They really do fit perfectly and made transporting so easy without having to worry about any mess.
Sorry I dropped off the face of the planet ~ things got super crazy around here. So I am going to skip over Halloween for right now and fast forward to Thanksgiving!
Here are two new place settings I created for Fiskars for this year, which can be viewed in full here.
I designed some fun stuff for the adult table ...
... and for the kid table.
You can view full photos and directions in my article at Fiskars. Lots more Thanksgiving and Christmas fun to come =).
