Teacher Appreciation Gable Box



Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by....

I'm excited to share my Teacher Appreciation Gable box as part of the monthly design team project post for My Pink Stamper.  You can check out all of our projects here.


Supplies:
  • 1 - Kraft colored Gable Box - Target's Dollar Spot
  • Designer Paper in school/teacher design
  • 4 red buttons
  • black cardstock
  • yellow rick rack
  • apple die cut - Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge
  • white gelly roll pen
  • "Whisper White" ink by Stampin' Up for sentiments
  • Sentiment - "World's Best Teacher" & "I Love You, Teacher" - School Days collection by My Pink Stamper
  • various ribbons




Directions:
  • Lay gable box flat and measure paper the size you would like.  Cut with scissors or trimmer to the size around the bottom of the box.  Glue down around box. You may need to piece the paper together to get it to pattern around the box (this is what I did).
  • Measure black cardstock on angle of box and cut out with scissors; doodle with white pen, stamp one side World's Best Teacher and other side "I Love You, Teacher". Gllue onto box.
  • Glue yellow rick rack around top edge of box.
  • Cut out one apple from Doodlecharms at 1 1/2".  Doodle with white gelly roll pen. I used one pop dot to give the apple more dimension.  Place in center of box. 
  • Form box
  • Add buttons with glue dots
  • Fill box with your gift, trinket, gift card or special treat.
  • Tie box closed with various coordinating ribbons.
