Note set w/ decoupaged matching box


Hello friends!

 

I hope your day is going well. I wanted to quickly pop in and share with you a CAS note set I created for my child's teacher.

 
Note cards are 3" with envelope, each box holds 8 sets. I remember that not long ago wherever I go I could see animal prints, of course when I need them  they are not available LOL! 





 

I went for the Zebra  print since the class' slogan is "wild about learning" so what a better match to her class décor right? Well, all honesty it was kind of hard to completely decoupage a box this small, it took three attempts, and the third time was the charm =)... I got a favor to ask if you are a decoupage lover and have any tips to share they will be greatly appreciated! :).
 

I decided to keep it as CAS as possible since the paper alone is kind of busy ;) but to make them a little bit more interesting  - I think- I cut the patterned paper on different shapes and decorated the scalloped circle in different ways. What do you think, to CAS or too much?

 

It has been a while since a played at some of my favorite challenges, so I am happy I could link this  little project to four of them ;)

 

MTC'sDesigner Challenge: Black and White

IBS: Distress

LSP: Anything goes linky party

DLART: August Linky party

 

I hope Mrs. H likes these little notes, will you go all BW or would you add a variation in color for the background??

Summer Fun Blog Hop, day 4

Hello friends, welcome to day 4 of our Summer Fun Blog Hop!                                 Don't you just love all the projects showcased this week? I am so lucky to be part of this fantastic hop I could not resist to keep on creating and today I want to share with you another Farm inspired project. This time I created a Piñata by recycling a box, using some scrap card stock, crepe paper, the fabulous eBosser, Xyron Corner Glue Stick, sticker maker and the X Tape Runner. I started by removing the flaps from the top of the box and then scoring two horizontal lines on the sides of it and a diagonal from the upper center point to the line on the sides. Cut slits on the corners all the way to the scored lines. Cut a small square on each side -just below the scored line-to run the rope thru them. Also, cut an opening on the back so you can fill it with goodies. Folded the new flaps inwards. Gl...
