You know that old tale about how the shoe-maker's children went without shoes? I'm feeling that way with my paper crafting. I fully intended on making my kids' class valentine's this year, but with everything we've had going on this week, including strep throat (ugh), it didn't happen. I paid a visit to Wally-World this morning instead. So, to try to redeem myself, I decided to put a little something special together for my children's teachers for their class parties tomorrow. (Kandi, if you're reading this before Friday morning, don't peek!!) :-)
These little tubes were super easy to make. Each one used a half of a transparency sheet and an easy to assemble lid. I was going to put together a video tutorial for these, but it just wasn't in the cards today. If you're interested in a turorial on these, leave a comment on this post and if there's enough interest I'll put one together in the next day or two.
I used the Teacher's Apple set along with the "Be Mine" from Heart Prints. I love this pink candy corn!!
Stamps: Teacher's Apple, Heart Prints
Cardstock: Stamper's Select White, Raspberry Fizz
Ribbon: Aqua Mist Grosgrain
Patterned paper: Bella Blvd
Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Tempting Turquoise (SU!), Lime Pastel (Color Box), Rouge (Color Box)
Other: Diecut tag (Cricut Plantin Schoolbook), jute, scallop punches
Stop back in a bit...I'm just "hopping" up and down about a fun game that's going to start in just a bit on the PTI blog. See you soon!









I'd love to see a tutorial! Thanks.
