[Turkey Poop Mini Cups] with 8x10 Poem includes Free Printables

This post may look a little familiar but I assure you that it's a little different.  The other day I shared my version of Turkey Poop Poem with free printable [thank you for your sweet comments] and today I wanted to share a smaller variation with you.  

I thought this would be a great idea to make up some of these little cups to have on the side table or dessert table for your Thanksgiving guests.  Instead of attaching a poem to each cup (like I did on the goodie bag) I created an 8" x 10" poem to print and insert into a frame.  Your guests can read the little poem when they grab a mini-cup.  =) [Print the poem here] [Print the mini circles here]

{Turkey Poop} Tags & Goodie Bags with Free Printable

If you're looking for a cute way to liven up your Thanksgiving table, hand out treats to friends, or just get a little laugh -- here is a cute idea.  

Chocolate covered candies such as whoppers and milk duds work great for this treat but any chocolate candy will work.  

The little tag says:

You invited me to dinner

with your family and your friends.

You didn't say I was the main dish

For me it was "THE END"

You frightened me so badly

I knew I had been duped!

So I left you with my calling card

this bag of Turkey Poop!

Cute and fun, huh?!

{Fall Pumpkin} Treat Holders

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

These treat holders are so easy to make and can be easily adapted to any season or event.  

Chevron patterns (like I used for the paper) seem to be everywhere in decorating nowadays and I didn't care for it much in the beginning….that surprises me because I l.o.v.e. ric rack, squiggles and wavy lines…..but this pattern has grown on me.  

The pattern paper is one I found in the My Memories Suite shop and printed out an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of it.  I got 3 treat holders out of 1 sheet.

{Mini Halloween Goodie Bags} ~ Pockets Made from Envelopes

We are only days away from Halloween 2012 and that means if you need a quick and simple way to package up little treats here is a crafty idea for you.   I started with plain letter envelopes, sealed them and them cut in half with decorative scissors to make 2 pockets.  For the handle I stapled ribbon or rick rack to the pocket before covering it with scrapbook paper.  For the "pumpkin" pocket I tied brown ribbon for the handle. The halloween face stamps are from Michaels Craft Store and sentiments are from My Pink Stamper.

{Candy Corn Poem} Treats

You all know how much I love creating goodies bags and when I picked up a package of Candy Corn from the grocery store I wanted to find something different to make with them.  I "googled" and searched online "Candy Corn Poems" and these Candy Corn Poem Bag Toppers were the very first ones I found.  {love it!}  Even better -- they have a free download where I could print them from my home computer (4 to a page).   Very easy to do and I think there will be perfect for my Sunday School class as well as my friends at work.

{Back to School} Let's Roll into School Teacher Gift with Tag Printable

For this year's "Meet the Teacher" night I wanted to create a special gift for Spencer's Kindergarten teacher.  I really like to personalize my gifts so that they can keep them for years to come.  This is what I came up with this year.  Each side is decorated in a school themed image.  I love "play on words" so I created the Let's Roll into School tag because I was filling the jar with Tootsie Rolls.  ☺

I found this square glass jar at Dollar Tree.  I really liked the size and thought of so many ways to decorate it.  Decisions! Decisions!

Here is my supplies.

I wrapped Washi Tape around the outside of my glass jar. 

Works WONDERFUL!

To decorate the outside of the jar ~ I decided to cut out vinyl images on my Cricut and layered them on each side of the glass jar. 

Apple & School Bus ~ Doodlecharms by Cricut

ABC ~ Recess Lite by Cricut

Chalkboard ~ George and Basic Shapes by Cricut

(I used 2 rounded rectangles making one a little smaller to fit inside)

Side 1 with Chalkboard

Side 2 with Apple

Side 3 with School Bus -- personalized with School Name!
Check out my "blingy" hubcaps - (love)

Side 4 - ABC letters

I filled a plastic treat bag with yummy Tootsie Rolls and tied various ribbons to close the top.

Here is the tag I created to go along with the gift.   I attached it to the bag of tootsie rolls using red & white twine.

Feel free to download this free tag and use it for yourself.

{Personal use only please} 

Right click and save as to your computer.  
Insert into a word document or other source and print your tag.

I hope you've enjoyed today's project and thank you so much for your comments.  

♥Tracy

Today I’m excited to share this adorable little Back to School Treat idea using a printed tag and goldfish crackers.  This little treat is perfect to hand out to the students on the first day or within the first few weeks of class as a way to say I’m so happy we’re in the same class. Since fish swim in "schools" I thought it would be a fun idea to share some goldfish crackers with your students or child's "school" friends. Have fun!

I think this little goldfish is just simply adorable and is the perfect cutie pie for my tag.  I found it while searching for free clip art here.   

Supplies:

o   Goldfish tags (download free here) - prints best on cardstock
o Pattern Paper

o   Gold fish crackers

o   Ziploc bags

o   Stapler

o   Scissors

Enjoy a free printable!

Print 10 to a page -- here
Disclaimer: I created this tag for personal use only. Please feel free to share with your kiddos or students.

Directions:

o   Print out the goldfish tags here; cut out tags using scissors. Layer onto pattern paper for extra color.

o   Have your child write his or her name on front or back of card. (i.e. Your friend, Spencer)

o   Fill Ziploc bags with goldfish – use the orange fish or mix the colored ones.

o   Staple tag to top of bag.

Hand out on the first day of school or within the first few weeks.  It will sure bring a smile to any child’s face.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope everyone has an awesome day!

Decorated {Cookie} Box for Man Gift - Recycle and Re-Use

Recently, while we were on vacation my father-in-law stopped by every morning and night to ensure our critters were fed and taken good care of.  {We have 2 dogs and 2 fair show pigs so that’s why you’ll see these animals on the box below.}  As a little token of appreciation we baked him up some yummy cookies.  Once the cookies were baked.....I had to decide how to give them to him.  Such fun decisions! ☺

I thought about many different ways we could dress them up .... like put them in a bag, on a plate or platter and then I came up with this idea of decorating a box and put the baked cookies inside.  The cookies are a variety of Ready to Bake frozen cookie dough that I purchased from my son as a fundraiser through school.  The athletic department was selling cookie dough to raise money for their athletic program.  

Simple and easy -- definitely my way of baking cookies, just take them out of the freezer and put them on a cookie sheet and bake for 15 mins.  :)

This project is more about how I decorated the box top (that I put the baked cookies in).  The box is actually one from the frozen cookie dough.  These cardboard boxes are sturdy and such a shame to waste.  They already have the brown striped design on the sides so I played along with what was already there and just had to cover the top and front side with scrapbook paper.  

Yummy goodies inside!

Supplies to make top of box:

• Scrapbook paper - “DCWV Guy Stack”
• cardstock (white, black, gray, ivory)
• corner punch - “String Lace” by Martha Stewart
• die cuts - “Animal Kingdom” by Cricut (pigs page 83 & 84  and dog page 128)
• embossing folder on dogs - “Herringbone” by Cuttlebug
• distress Ink - “Tea Dye” Distress Ink (background and inking on sides)
• red ink - “Riding Hood Red” by Stampin’ Up
• brown Ink - “Texas Chocolate” by My Pink Stamper (font)
• font stamps - “Font-abulous” by My Pink Stamper 
• background stamp - “Splatter” by Hampton Art
• “Fringe scissors “- Martha Stewart (for grass)
• white gel pen (for doodling animals) and brown marker for doodling (around edges of white cardstock), black 0.3 Copic multi-liner (for doodling around dogs)
• brown ric rack
• Sisal Twine (looks similar to hay bale twine)
• red buttons

Since the edges of the box had these adorable brown stripes I just measured the scrapbook paper for the top and front side.  I used the brown ink to ink around edges of box {this helps hide any missed spots or to distress the entire box blending all of the colors together.}

Here is a closer look….

Have a great day everyone!

T-Ball Baseball Goodie Bags

My sweet sports star Spencer is playing his first year of t-ball and the parents take turns bringing an "after game" snack for each kiddo.  When it was our turn you know I just can't hand each player a pkg. of crackers or brownie -- I need to dress it up, right?? lol!!  

Here is what I did.  You will be amazed how simple, easy and fast these bags were to make. 

I started with plain white lunch bags, cut out a 4" circle template from my Martha Stewart Circle cutter and traced the circle onto the white bag for the "ball". 

 I then used a red marker to draw the "baseball" lines of a half circle and then added dashes on the lines to give the ball a realistic effect.  See -- easy peasy! 

I love to give a sweet message with my goodie bags so I am using the sentiment "Be the Best YOU you can Be!" -- found on the new set My Pink Stamper collection "Never Give Up".  I also added "ALL STAR" from My Pink Stamper's Boy Crazy collection.  I love how you can mix messages up from all of Robyn's collections!

And lastly I wanted to share a picture of my sweet boy Spencer -- he was a big help putting the goodie bags together.  His teammates loved them!  :)

 

Linking up this project at these fun parties!

Much love and I'll be back soon!  

♥Tracy
