Teacher Card.
Looking for a cute teacher card? I showed the teacher lunch box I made yesterday and here’s a card to match it that I’ll be putting in my etsy shop for sale. I used the same cute sparkly apple paper that I used on the lunch box and matted that onto yellow cardstock and then onto the card I made from a rust-colored red cardstock. The A+ is a chipboard piece from a Fancy Pants (I think) “kit” that is school themed (bunch of chipboard pieces and an accordian album). I inked it with orange and then used Stickles on it. I like how this turned out!
Here’s a closer look…

Filed under For Sale, Projects | Comment (1)New Handmade Teacher Gift (Lunch Box)
I made a new teacher’s gift altered lunch box for my etsy shop the other day. This one I will personalize with your particular teacher’s name. The name is cut out on my Pazzles machine from textured white cardstock. I used this cool chalkboard paper so that it looks like the teacher just wrote her name on the chalkboard! Fill it up with school supplies or cookies and send it as a first day of school present to the teacher.
Here’s the other side of the lunchbox, using sparkly apple patterned paper and a square cardstock apple diecut in the middle that I raised up 3-D with pop dots.
See how some of the apples are sparkly?
Here’s the handle with bunches of ribbon tied to it.
This is what the edges look like all around the lid and the bottom portion, lined with apple printed ribbon. It’s so cute!
I will mention here because it’s going into the shop for sale that there are a few tiny flaws in the lunchbox that were there when I bought it. These probably get bumped around in the craft store a lot and one side has a tiny dent with a tiny scratch and then the other side has a longer scratch. Of course, I didn’t notice them when I bought the box. And I figure it’s okay because the box is so cutely decorated no one will notice the flaws anyway! And let’s face it, if a kid takes this to school for a teacher gift it’s gonna get bumped around (or dropped!) before they ever arrive in the classroom so I don’t think we need to worry about it! haha

Anyone out there looking for a cute teacher gift? You can find this for sale in my etsy shop here.
*edited to add* I also made a card that matches the lunch box and you can find that on my blog here.

Say that 3 times fast……..
I really love the scrapbooking products made by Bo Bunny. And my favorite stuff of theirs is the line with the cute little love birds. Aren’t they adorable? I recently applied for their design team (not gonna happen but wanted to give it a go anyway) and one of the things I made was this card.
I used a glitter pen on top of the transparency to color in the little hearts (love those) and the birdie wings and the flowers. See?
You can also find this for sale in my etsy shop here.

Sooo….thought the auction talk would all be over by now? But plans changed and now the trip to deliver Anita’s scrapbook is next week and I’m sticking to it darnit! But in the meantime getting all the boxes of items sold and moved out of my studio has cleared up some room and made me realize I have some things left that didn’t sell and also a huge lot of items that I never even got listed on ebay! So …… let me know if you’re interested at all in purchasing any of these bundles since now it’s too late to put them on ebay unless I wait until after the trip!

By adding an optional adapter, the Sidekick is also compatible with other brands’ wafer-thin dies. A crafting system designed for detailed shape-cutting with all Sizzlits, including 12″ Decorative Strip dies, and quick, quality embossing from Textured Impressions Embossing Folders (small only).

Like I said up above, just leave a comment if you’re interested or you can email me privately at kcsummerrose@avenuebroadband.com and make me an offer!
You can read more about Anita and the auctions and why I’ve been holding them and selling stuff here on my blog.
** edited to add. Any money that is earned from selling items after my trip to Canada will be given directly to Anita and her family. They will be traveling every day for chemo treatment to a hospital that’s 1.5 hours away, so at the very least they could use the gas money!
Filed under AUCTION, For Sale | Comment (1)Paper flowers!
My friend Abby made these cool torn paper flowers (I added some stuff to the middles of them) and sent them to me so that I could include them in the auctions and sell them individually for my Canada trip fundraiser to take Anita the scrapbook. I’ve been so caught up in sorting all the donations into kits and themes and listing the stuff on ebay and shipping it out, I haven’t had time until now to show these to you. Seriously, my Abbykins is sickeningly talented with paper. Thanks for your donation Abby!
Aren’t they fabulous? Can you see the glittery-ness and the pretty lines of paint here and there? I’m going to go list them in my etsy shop individually for sale so if you like what you see go to the shop here and purchase as many as you like! Although in the shop they’re $2.20 to cover for the fee Etsy charges me to put them in the shop, you can just contact me via my blog or leave a comment to get one too! Still a great deal! I have measured them and described their sizes in their descriptions in my etsy shop.
I am picturing these on the front of a card and on a scrapbook page and I think they would be darling with a magnet on the back and put on the fridge or inspiration board or hang a tiny tag on them and give to a friend. I have so many ideas in my head for these!

Filed under For Sale | Comment (1)Buy Handmade Cards.
Here are the rest of the cards that I have been making for the last month in preparation for a holiday bazaar. The bazaar was a bust, not many people showed up, maybe because of the weather being rainy and yucky.

Filed under For Sale, Projects | Comment (0)More Altered Candles.
I made 2 more candles the other day, another autumn themed candle and another Christmas themed candle. I’ll be selling these at the holiday bazaar soon. These are different from the first two in that I added some Stickles to them so the flowers have a bit of sparkly-ness (yes, it’s a word) and I like these better.
Please forgive the absolutely crappy photos.
