Teacher Apple Thank You Cards

{Apple Series} Teacher Thank You Cards

I have to say that my class this past year was probably the most appreciative class I have ever had in the past 5 years.  They really went above and beyond to show how much they appreciate everything I do.  With that being said, I just couldn't send a cheap thank you card.  Soooooo, I created an adorable thank you card complete with a school font and a super cute apple.

I used a green polka dot cardstock behind the apple and printed the "thank you" out on my computer.  The apple is cut and assemble from my Cricut cartridge Doodlecharms.

Here are some more images...



Don't you just love the font! Perfect for a teacher gift:)



What do you think?

I absolutely love them and was so happy to send some love to all my students.

Actually, I loved these little cards so much I plan on making a set with "Welcome to our class" to send to my new students in the fall and another set with my name to use throughout the year.

I plan on putting these up in my etsy shop this summer but if you are interested in the "thank you" cards, "Welcome to our class" cards, or your name or child's teacher's name please email me HERE for more information and pricing.

How cute would this be as a teacher appreciation gift or as a first day of school gift!

Also, I am currently working on some new designs so be on the lookout for the following:

*Bumble Bee Baby Shower Inviations/Decorations

*Bumble Bee Birthday Invitations/Decorations

*Christening Invitations

*Pool Party Invitations

*Summer BBQ Invitations

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

{Birthday Series} Dinosaur Invitations

Here's yet another order I completed last month for a little boy turning three who loves dinosaurs.

I was very excited to make this invitation because this was my first time cutting the little dinosaur and putting him together.  Of course, he is from one of my all time favorite cartridges, Create a Critter, and he has succeeded in proving once again why CAC is so perfect for little kids birthday parties.

I just think this little dino is so darn CUTE!

What do you think?

Dinosaur Birthday Invitation



The invitation says:
ROAARRR!
Come join us for a
DINO-MITE Party.
Our little (child's name)-asaurus
is turning 3!





I added a little googly eye to each dinosaur!



Of course I pop-dotted the dino off the invitation to give it a little more dimension!

I had so much fun putting this little guy together and adding the little googly eye.  I definitely think it came out great and I know the little boy absolutely loved it!

{Birthday Series} Cupcake Birthday Invitations

I received an order from a friend of mine for cupcake invitations for her twin girl's birthday party.  With the directions of the colors pink and green and the number three somewhere on the invitation, this is what I came up with.

Cupcake Birthday Invitations

Using both my Cricut and Cuttlebug, I cut, assembled, and embossed the cupcake and number candle.  I used two different embossing folders for the frosting and the wrapper.  I then added a tiny pink bow to the top of the candle.

The words on the invitation read:

Cake and goodies,

what fun it will be.

Our little girls,

are turning THREE!

(All personal information has been omitted from the pictures)



Embossing detail on the cupcake.



And of course, all images are pop dotted to add that little extra something and because I just absolutely love pop dots :)



I absolutely loved making these invitations and working with girly colors again though I could definitely see this same invitation in a blue/green, a blue/brown, or a blue/red theme for a little boy!

Please stay tuned for the matching Happy Birthday Banner coming soon!

{Birthday Series} Mickey Mouse: Invitations

After a much needed break from all the craziness that I call my life, I am finally refreshed enough to focus on this blog again. 

And what better way to jump start my weekly posts than to share with you the invitations I made for my little man's 3rd birthday!

I can't even begin to tell you how fast the time has pasted since the day of his birth, but he continues to grow and learn so much that he amazes me each and every day.

So without further adieu,

here are the

Mickey Mouse Invitations!

Oh what fun it will be!

I had a ton of fun making these invitations and trying to get them just right.  My little man could not be happier and was so excited for his party.  Stay tuned because I have a ton more stuff to share with you soon!

{Real Parties} Baby Shower Invitations

My Sister!  Doesn't she look amazing with her little baby bump:)

My baby sister is due in about three weeks and I am soooo excited to meet her baby girl.  With the help of my mom and my sister's mother in law, we threw her a baby shower right before Christmas.

Yes, I know it was a pretty crappy time to throw a shower but it went so smoothly.  Instead of having a super long post, I figured I would break up the pictures into different categories, similar to my birthday series. 

Welcome to

{Real Parties}

Baby Shower Invitations



Please note:  All personal information has been removed from this invitation.



We decided to go with a little girl/butterfly theme for the shower since my sister decided on butterflies for the bedding. 

Not wanting to overdo the theme, I went with simple but cute for the invitations.  I also had to make more than 50 of them so simple was definitely faster even though it took me forever to finish these.

Using my computer, I printed out the invitation on white card stock in black and pink ink.  I then cut and pasted it on premium light pink card stock.  Lastly, I cut out three onesies on my Cricut from the New Arrival cartridge.  I pop dotted the onesies and added pink and white twine for a clothesline.

I received many complements on these invites and I was so pleased with how they came out.

Here are some more pictures!

The invitation says:

Ten little fingers and ten little toes

Two little ears and one little nose!

Join us for a baby shower

honoring...



I ran out of the pink and white swirl paper so I also made some invitations with a pink and white hounds tooth print.

 

What do you think?

Project Alert: If you look closely at my pictures you can see two projects I have been working on.  I will be sharing both of them soon:)

Bridal Shower Invitations

I am so happy that the sun finally made it's appearance today because my friend's sister is getting married today! 

In honor of her wedding, I figured I would share the bridal shower invitations I made for her. 

The bridal shower's theme was chemistry and the colors were green and white. So I tied that right into the invitations by using beakers as the image on the top.  I actually cut the beakers out twice.  Once in green cardstock and then again in clear plastic.  I then glued them together so it looked like there was liquid inside.

Please note: all personal information has been blurred to protect the privacy of my friend and her sister.

I just know she will make a gorgeous bride and her wedding will be absolutely beautiful!

Fourth of July Invites

Okay... so I'm a little behind with blogging about some of the orders I made so just bare (is this the right bare?) with me as I share things slightly out of order :). 

*Don't you just love the fact that I am a teacher and I am asking you if I am using the correct word.  I promise that while school is in session, I would definitely get a dictionary out and double check but for right now, well let's just focus on the craft projects rather than spelling:)

So I received an order for 30 invitations for a Fourth of July picnic.  I apologize for the photos because the first set were horrible so I had to take another set indoors because of the rain.

I made three different invitations and alternated the background color so each set had 5 in red and 5 in blue.

The wording

The invitations says...

Join us and celebrate the

4th of July

with friends and family!

When: Sunday, July 3rd at 1 pm

Rain date: Monday, July 4th

Where: (info removed for privacy)

RSVP: (info removed for privacy)

Please bring a favorite dish to share

and a bathing suit and towel.

Invitation #1

This was by far the hardest image I have ever cut out! It took forever and then I still had to re-cut areas because the paper would stick together.  However, it is so adorable with the little boy in the car and the flag on the back.  I also pop dotted the image so it would stand out.  I used A Child's Year for the image.

Invitation #2

I used A Child's Year again and pop dotted the image.

Invitation #3

I used Stand and Salute for the fireworks and then glittered them with red, white, and blue glitter.  I placed the fireworks through my xyron machine upside down so I could attach the glitter.  It works like a charm!  I love how festive and sparkly they look.

Birthday Series: Butterfly Birthday Party Invitations

Here's a early sneak peek for you for the birthday party I will be attending with the little man tomorrow.  My niece will be ONE!!!  My cousin asked me to create 40 invitations for her daughter's birthday party.  The theme for the party is butterflies.    Enjoy:)

The invitation says:

Butterfly kisses,

Giggles and fun,

Our little Princess Butterfly (my niece's nickname) (original saying was flutterby)

(child's name) is turning (age)!

Flutter on down to:

(address)

(date)

RSVP to the Queen Butterfly

The wording on the invitation is not my original idea.  When I googled butterfly party invitation wording this is what I found and I fell in love with it right away.



I used BoBunny paper with polka dots for the background.





I pop dotted the butterfly so the wings would pop up when you took it out of the envelope.

I used my Cricut to cut out the scalloped circle and the butterfly.  Cartridges used were Mini Monograms and Create a Critter respectively. 

You can really see the dimension in this photo with the scalloped circle and butterfly wings.



This is how I package the orders.  My labeled bag and some ribbon to make a cute presentation.



If you are interesting in ordering custom invitations for any event (child's birthday, adult birthday, baby shower, bridal shower, etc.) please feel free to leave me a comment with your contact information or email me HERE for current pricing and options. Note: All invitations come with envelopes.

Birthday Series: Construction Birthday Party Part One: Invitations

We just celebrated my little man's second birthday at the beginning of March.  I really can't believe he is already TWO!!! Whoa, where did the time go?  But anyways... for his first birthday we went with a farm animal theme and I definitely didn't go all out with the decorations.  This year I was a bit more creative!  We planned a construction birthday party because Baby R absolutely loves all sorts of big construction vehicles.  Also how stinking cute is a two year old in a plastic construction hat!!!

Yup! It's backwards but he's adorable anyways!  Notice the plaid work shirt :) and he also wore jeans and of course work boots.  I also ordered a construction vest for him to wear but he decided he rather not! Oh well!

Well back to the party planning, I created my little man's invites using the computer and my Cricut Expression.  I used the Boys Will Be Boys cartridge for the design.  Here are the invitations minus all the important info.  I would love to hear what you think of them:)

The invite says:

A celebration is under construction for (child)'s birthday!

Report for duty:

(Date)

Construction site:

(Place)

RSVP to site supervisor:

(telephone number)



The number 2 is also from Boys Will Be Boys

I pop dotted the image to add a little dimension to the invite
