COLLECTION :: Think Spring Stationery Line

Happy SPRING everybody! 

Hopefully where you are you are embracing SPRING and it's starting to warm up! As usual where I live, it's still cold but I look at it this way, pretty soon everyone will be complaining about how HOT it is so I'm ok with all of it. ;) 

To get everyone in the mood, I thought I would share my "Think Spring" stationery line with you all as this will definitely get you in a spring kind of mood! It has everything from art prints, postcards to mini cards & love notes!

 

~ the set contains mini 3x3 cards in 6 different designs

~ 10 different designs of these mini notecards or love notes (which I like to call them) - great to use as little notes to loved ones

 (include in lunches, put in pocket of a coat - write a little message to let someone know you are thinking of them!)

~ a 3 piece artwork set - size is 8x10 & you can place in your favorite frames & split them up or keep them all together. I show them here framed with a black frame and also white ones so you can see how they will match any neutral frame to go with your decor in your home.

and what about this cute little stationery box? Wouldn't this make a great gift for a friend, neighbor or even your kids teacher? The printed paper has a design on 1 side & fold/ cutting directions on the other to complete this adorable box! Tie a ribbon around & done! =)

and of course comes with 6 different designs of stationery paper to put in it

  

~ 4 different postcard designs to send a 'hello' to someone far away or just down the street!

The entire "Think Spring" stationery collection is available in my Etsy store now! 

This is such a great set because you can use it past the spring season (with some of the pieces) PLUS it's LOADED with so many goodies! So many people do not have time to write people on PAPER anymore but hopefully this makes it a little easier for you. It would just make someone's day to receive a little note or card!

 

Have a fantastic day & thanks as always for following! So tell me what is your favorite piece from this collection? Let me know below . . .  =)

COLLECTION :: Teacher Appreciation week IDEAS

Hello there! 

I wanted to share with you some pics of the Teacher Appreciation package I designed a few years ago that is available in my shop. If you are needing some fun ideas to celebrate the teachers in your kids' life, you will want to get this package as there is so many cute things to use for their various teachers! I have also included some ideas to go with it & a tutorial on how to create a unique gift!

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK is coming soon!

I don't know about you all, but my little one has had some pretty amazing teachers so I wanted to do something special for them in mind, which is where a lot of the inspiration came for this collection.

In this collection I wanted to have it be versatile - something you could send in with your kiddos all in one day or break it up like I did & have them take in something EVERY day to make the FUN last longer! This is also a GREAT idea for those of you in charge of arranging something nice for the teachers (ex. PTO members or homeroom moms)

I think you will find that it does both so I hope you find it very useful.

The collection includes a banner, toppers, gift tags/mini 3x3 cards, paper pack, stationery paper w/ holder & 2 BONUS mini posters/ frames art. 

First the banner - I used primary colors for the collection & also a gingham print as the major design element. The banner is in the yellow gingham & has the letters in blue throughout.

I decided to have it say "WE {apple in shape of heart} OUR TEACHERS!

So you could use this for just {ONE} teacher & NOT include the {S} at the end or you can hang it in the teachers lounge or whatever for all the TEACHER{S}! And then you will find just one banner pendant with the little chick on it holding an apple - so you can put her at the beginning or at the end or both - totally up to you! 

Just cut little slits on the "upper sides" of each & sting the banner with twine, wide ribbon - anything you think will hold it up!  Another idea would be to 'clip' it to a piece of twine or ribbon with those adorable little clothespins that are super popular right now!

I sent this in with my daughter & a few of her friends hung this up in the class last year for their teacher!

The toppers come 12 on a sheet & have several different sayings plus some that are just the chick on them. You can use these as a square or use a circle or scallop punch & have a little added flair. Can also be used as an added feature on the stationery box (see below)

 

Attach these to gifts for the teachers, attach them to a lollipop stick & put them in cupcakes or a dessert table. Attach them to some cake pops or use on a stick & put in a potted flower . . .ideas on endless!

The gift tags or mini 3x3 cards can be used for just that! As gift tags attached to a gift or as a card for your little kiddo to write her a note!  

Here's an idea that I did - why not print your kiddos teacher out a bunch of these, tie a ribbon around them & give them to her (to use) as a little card set for when she has to send a note home to you! They so appreciate little kind gestures like this!

{Tutorial ALERT} How to make a stationery holder from scrapbook paper:

Next is the stationery paper pack & holder. This is a fantastic little project to do for a GIFT for your kiddos teacher as it serves as a stationery holder for the paper that is included in this package to hold it. The holder you could use either the red gingham or yellow gingham paper (included in this package)
& pick which color you like, print it out, then on the backside of this, you will want to print the stationery box instructions (included but not shown in this collection) to cut out & fold to hold the stationery paper that comes next.

step 1. - choose to print out the yellow or red gingham paper to make the box & then on the other side print the directions

step 2. - cut out box on solid black lines & fold the box on the black dotted lines 

step 3. - using either a glue stick or double-sided tape (recommended) bring in both sides FIRST

step 4. - just bring in the front & back side to form the stationery box shown

& then you will want to print out this page of these 3 different designs of the stationery paper that you will put in the holder you just made. 

Some ideas to "dress it up" include: tying a ribbon around the holder to give it a feminine touch. Adding a topper by gluing one on the front, etc. Possibilities are endless!

And as an added BONUS - I have added 2 - yes TWO small printable art posters that can easily be framed & given as a gift! There are 2 different ones so you can pick or give both - up to you!

 

And YES on this one I framed, I even added another topper to the frame as a little something "extra" - just used a scallop punch & voila! =)

Ok then . . this is all the info you need to add some FUN into a teachers appreciation party or for your kid's teacher, as a way to say thanks! Hope you enjoyed it & would love to hear your feedback on what you are planning to do with these!

A special THANK YOU to all those wonderful teachers that give of themselves everyday to ensure are kids are safe & happy when they are not with us! THANK YOU! xoxo

{DEBUT} Teacher Appreciation Stationery Gift Pack

hello there! 

I wanted to share a little project with you that I have created 

for all the teachers next week in honor of  

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK!

I don't know about you all, but my little one has the most amazing 2nd grade teacher so I wanted to do something special for her in mind, which is where a lot of the inspiration came for this collection.

Everyone seemed to really enjoy my "little chick" that has been seen in my "Think Spring" stationery collection & then again recently in the "Little Chicks EASTER collection", so I thought "why not?" . . let's not put her away just yet! lol

In this collection I wanted to have it be versatile - something you could send in with your kiddos next week as a gift to honor their teacher or for those of you in charge of arranging something nice for the teachers (ex. PTO members or homeroom moms)

I think you will find that it does both so I hope you find it very useful.

Here are a few of my ideas that I am going to do or came up with for you! I didn't shoot any pretty pics for you as I wanted to get this out to you right away, but will post here in a day or two & let you know when I do!

The collection includes a banner, toppers, gift tags/mini 3x3 cards, paper pack, stationery paper w/ holder. 

First the banner - I used primary colors for the collection & also a gingham print as the major design element. The banner is in the yellow gingham & has the letters in blue throughout.

I plan on sending this in with my daughter & having my daughter & a few of her friends hang this up in the class next week for their teacher!

Attach these to gifts for the teachers, attach them to a lollipop stick & put them in cupcakes or a dessert table.

Here's an idea I am doing - why not print your kiddos teacher out a bunch of these, tie a ribbon around them & give them to her (to use) as a little card set for when she has to send a note home to you!

& pick which color you like, print it out, then on the backside of this, you will want to print the stationery box instructions (included but not shown in this collection) to cut out & fold to hold the stationery paper that comes next. If you would like to see "how" this holder looks or if you missed the post on this in my "Think Spring" line - click here as a reminder.

Then you will want to print out this page of these 3 different designs of the stationery paper that you will put in this holder.

 

Then once you have the holder folded together, printed the stationery paper & put it in there - some ideas to "dress it up" include: tying a ribbon around the holder to give it a feminine touch. Adding a topper by gluing one on the front, etc. Possibilities are endless!

Available here in my Etsy store!  

And as an added BONUS - I have added 2 - yes TWO small printable art posters that can easliy be framed & given as a gift! There are 2 different ones so you can pick or give both - up to you! 

 

OK - like I said earlier, may post some pics of the actual line when I get a chance but there is all the info you need to add some FUN into a teachers appreciation party or for your kiddos teacher just to say thanks! Hope you enjoyed it & would love to hear your feedback on what you are planning!
