{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

{Back to School} - 1st Day of School Goldfish Treats with Printable

Happy Wednesday everyone! 

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!

♥Tracy

Something Yummy for Your Tummy Treats

Welcome to the August edition of My Pink Stamper's Design Team project day.  :)

The entire design team is creating projects with Robyn's newest stamp release so if you're stopping by my blog first you can hop over to Robyn's blog to take a quick look at all of the projects by the entire team.

For the past couple of years I have been sending a little goodie to Spencer's pre-school friends to celebrate the first day of school.  It's just a little something for each of  his friends to take home in his or her back pack.  

His pre-school has class names for each age group and he is in the "Ocean Treasures" class.  I know that "goldfish" do not live in the Ocean but other fish do and I thought goldfish crackers would be a fun snack the kids would enjoy.  I put some goldfish crackers in a baggie and tied on this super adorable tag.  I had 15 to make so I was able to do a little "extra" including doodling and embossing the body of the fish with my cuttlebug.

• white tag (I used a blank index card) folded in half
• gold fish - "Create-a-Critter" by Cricut cut 1.75
• I used the "Hide Contour" feature on my Gypsy to hide the one eye on the fish so I could draw my own with my black marker, I added chalk for cheeks, black markers for doodling as well as my white gelly roll pen
• "Tiny Mosaics" Cuttlebug folder for fish body
• For the waves on the card I used my blue Copic marker and also used a blue maker to draw the circles (bubbles) for the fish.
• Sentiment "Something Yummy for your Tummy" - My Pink Stamper {yummy-licious set}
• Jute (or twine) string to attach tag to plastic bag
• For inside of bag I used the sentiment "Welcome" My Pink Stamper {yummy-licous set}
• "1st Day of School" My Pink Stamper {School Days set}

Simple Cowboy Party Goodie Bags

Hi everyone and Happy Sunday!

I wanted to share some simple goodie bags I created for Spencer's 5th birthday party that we recently celebrated.  For the past 3 birthdays this child has wanted a cowboy "themed" party -- he is a cowboy at heart and since I don't mind at all -- I was okay with it.  I needed to make about 40 goodie bags so I wanted something simple that I could mass produce…..yet nice.  Goodie bags are one of my favorite crafting projects to create!    I get all "giddy" inside.  :) ….

They are the cutest little treats ever. Thanks to Robyn at http://www.mypinkstamper.com/for the inspiration of this project. You can visit her site to see her little ghost treats too.

I started with a coffee filter (2 in fact to avoid the lollipop wrapper color showing through) - stamped cute little peachykeenfaces from http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/and wrapped them around tootsie roll pops. I secured with curly ribbon. Cute, simple and adorable. Anyone will love to get given one of these.

Enjoy!
