Teacher Gifts

Happy New Year.
I had promised to share up close pictures of my Teacher Gifts from my vee-dio.
Well here they are. I loved how they turned out. Too bad I did not sell ONE of them at my recent craft fair. The next time they are offered I will fill them with some note cards, pens and or thank you cards.

You could always fill this with a gift card, mug or coffee/tea pods. Teachers are definitely about that coffee life.

Thanks for visiting.

Cracker Gift Box

Wow, wow, wow. Those cracker gift boxes were a big hit. I think the libations might have played a huge role also.

These were easy to make since I did them assembly style. It is also a great opportunity to use up candy purchased for other projects. Each box does not have to contain the same candies. 

This is a top view of the Cracker Boxes

I like that you can be as elaborate or as simple as you choose. I was in a hurry and so I went with patterned paper. 

You could use white and adorn each one with stamps and/or stickers.

There were left over bows from my Mug Treats and I pressed those into service for these. This made them quite festive. They were cut using the WRMK bow die and I used the JOT metallic paper from Dollar Tree.

I used that same metallic paper to created the box lid and used a variety of Christmas themed embossing folders.

I was told that the best way to use the shot glass was to let the whiskey swirl around and marinate for a bit prior to indulging. Another told me that he drank the shot and then simply at the shot glass. Options, options, options.

For my wine loving friends, I am thinking of enclosing a miniature bottle of wine and one of the tumbler wine glasses with their names in vinyl. That way we won't mix up glasses when we get together. I always claim the one that still has the most wine in it.


Thanks for stopping by and keep inking in the name of love.
Until then.

Mug Treats

Hello and Happy New Year!!
We are snowed in today in the northeast so I decided it was time to update my blog. 

I wanted to start by sharing how I decided to package my Mug Treats.

At the last minute I placed an order with ClearBags. 

They were the perfect size. I ended up selling them for $4.50 each or 2/$8.

I will definitely make these again. Selling one package paid for the treats. Selling two covers the cost of the bags and paper. Factor in your time and everything above that is profit. 

Thanks for stopping by and keep thinking and inking in the name of love.
Until then.
