Teacher Appreciation Tags

Happy Saturday, everyone!  It's my day to post over at Pink by Design, and I have some teacher appreciation tags that I created to share with you today.  I think they will be great to have on hand all year to send little treats to the teacher as the year goes.  It will be nice to show my youngest daughter's teacher that she's appreciated all year round, I think.  Anyway, here they are:

All of the sentiments for these tags are from the new Pink by Design Love My Teacher half pint stamp set.  Aren't they so fun?  I used lots and lots of PPPR files for these tags.  Here's the list, if you're interested:

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Files:

• Layered Tags 2 Cutting Files (FREE this Week)
• S'mores Cutting Files
• Java Great Day Cutting Files
• Cool Sun Cutting Files
• Apple Picking Cutting Files
• Summer Brights Circles & Spots Digital Papers
• Pumpkin Spice Chevron & Stripes and Circles & Spots Digital Papers
• Love Bug White Polka Dots Digital Papers

By the way, these would be perfect for the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Back to School Challenge that is going on now.  You still have a couple of weeks to link up HERE for a chance to win a $10 Gift Certificate to Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.  I'd love it if you'd join in on the fun!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope you're having an awesome weekend.  I'll be back on Monday with another project to share with you.  

You Brighten My Day & a FREEBIE!!!

TGIF, everyone! I have a quick little tag to share with you today.  I have to tell you that I'm loving the Print-and-Cut function on my Silhouette Cameo.  It really makes creating projects so quick and easy.  Here's my tag:

I created this tag using the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons (PPPR) Cool Sun Cutting Files (this week's freebie) and the PPPR Layered Labels 2 Cutting Files.  I printed and cut all of the elements on this tag. For the sun, I just created an offset around it and cut it out with a slight white outline.  I really like this look...it makes it look like a sticker, and it's perfect when you want to cut a file at a really small size. I also used digital papers from the PPPR Sunny Skies Digital Paper Collection.  The lovely sentiment is from the Pink by Design Friends to the End Stamp Set.   I added some pretty crinkle ribbon from 3 Girl JAM, some doodles, and some glossy accents (to the glasses), and my quick tag was all done.

This project would be perfect for two challenges that are going on now:

Pink by Design's Up, Up, & Away Challenge

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons' Summer Fun Challenge

Here's a link to this week's Friday Freebie.  This file will be free for one week, then it will move to the 99 Cent Downloads Section of the PPPR Store. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I'll be back next week with more projects and some new files for you.  Have a great weekend!!

Happy Hoo-lidays Gift Bag

Happy Friday, everyone!  It's Not-a-Card Friday at Pink by Design, and I wanted to make a gift bag to go along with our tag theme this week.  Here it is:

The little owl on the gift bag is from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Little Hoot Cutting Files set.  I embossed his body with my QuicKutz Bloom embossing folder and inked up all of the pieces.  Then, I attached him to the gift bag using my ATG gun with a little ribbon border behind her.

The tag is from the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Layered Tags Cutting Files Set.  I stamped the little owl from the Pink by Design Chick with Brains Stamp Set, colored him with my Copic markers, and added a little Santa hat from the Little Hoot Cutting Files set.   The to: and from: is from the Pink by Design Christmas Wishes stamp set, and the sentiment is from the Pink by Design Winter Fun stamp set.

Don't forget about this week's challenge that's going on over at Pink by Design.  All you have to do is link up a tag that you made.  You could win a $10 gift certificate to the Pink by Design store.  To make it easy, you can even link up right here:

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend and a very Merry Christmas! :)

Cameo Creations Challenge #2: Bananas Over You

Yay!  Are you ready for another Cameo Creations Challenge?  

Challenge #2 is to use your Silhouette machine (any model) create a Valentine's Day tag.  It must have a button and a scalloped shape.  Here's what I came up with:

I got this adorable little monkey from The Digi Bistro's Funny Valentine Set.  Isn't she so sweet?  The banana came from this set and the scalloped rectangle came from this 6 Label Shapes set in the Silhouette Online Store.  I also cut an oval shape that I drew in Silhouette Studio and folded it over to make the rectangle feel more like a tag.

The sentiment came from Pink By Design's Sweet Grams Stamp Set.  The banana's little face came from Peachy Keen's Everyday Character Face Assortment.  This was my very first time using Peachy Keen face stamps...and I think I've found a new love. :)

I hope you'll head on over to Monica's Creative Madness to enter Cameo Creations Challenge #2.  Remember, you have 2 whole weeks to enter, and anyone with a Silhouette machine can join in on the fun. Plus, you could win something super cute from this challenge's sponsor: The Digi Bistro.  We can't wait to see what you create! :)
