Teacher Appreciation Cards

It is always a good for the soul to show appreciation to the special people in your life. Teachers are such an important piece of your children's childhood and with the end of the year last year I created special cards.

I used a cute SVG set from SVG Cuts. You can download the set here:

SVG Cuts Back To School SVG Set Link to Purchase

I let my kids pick out their favorite image from this set then I created cards with them. Super easy and fun!

You can see a tutorial on how to make a card out of a SVG shape on my site here:

My kids chose the Schoolhouse, Calculator and Chalk Board with books and apple. :)

My daughter Natalie wanted the Chalkboard and Books with the apple. Her teacher Mrs. Blake loves to read to the class and she is a Kindergarten teacher so the 123, abc is a perfect touch. 

What I love about these cuts is that they are individual pieces and colored appropriately for each separate layering piece. It really allows you to cut the pieces you want to use in the colors you want to use them in.

I wrote in the names of Mrs. Blakes' favorite books.

Natalie wrote her special sentiment. :)

We made an adorable Red and white polka dotted enveloped and sealed it with a cutie chalk board sticker I just happened to have in my stash. Perfect!!!!

My youngest daughter Tiffany doesn't go to school yet but she had to get in on the action. She chose the calculator and insisted on a pink one. I thought it was a super cute idea and the card turned out just too cute!

My son chose the School House. He chose all the colors and asked me to write his teachers name over the door which I thought was brilliant. :)

He also wrote his special sentiment inside.

Diaper Cake for a Baby Boy~ Tag and Card

Last week I posted pics of the Diaper Cake I made for a friend of mine and this week I am posting pics of the Card and Tag I made for the cake. You can Download the Dalmatian Card SCUT file below also. :)

I created an ingredients tag using my own spotted printed paper and cutting a tag shape from SCAL. I made the dog by printing and hand cutting then I added pink and blue stickles glitter glue to the tongue and collar.

I attached the tag with a safety pin that I added blue beads to.

On the backside of the tag I printed the ingredients list.

The card that I cut was a bit more detailed. I transferred my Dalmatian Image into SCAL and created a SCUT file, I then cut it on white paper and colored each individual piece with markers. This was a bit time consuming but I loved the look of the finished product. 

I then pulled each little piece off and glued them to the front of the card individually. Including the outline. I added stickles to the tongue and collar.

I added google eyes to make the dog look a bit more 3D and fun

This cake turned out so great. I believe the paper accents really took the entire cake to a whole new level.

Diaper Cake for a Baby Boy

My friend just recently had a baby shower and I wanted to try a Diaper Cake. I have to say, it was pretty easy to put together. I think the most time consuming part was placing the accessories on the cake. :)

My friend chose an adorable Brown Dalmatian Bedding set. It is so perfect for her baby since they actually have a brown spotted dalmatian named Zack.

Check out the pictures of this adorable Diaper Cake below:

The finished project

Bottom Layer had three regular sized bottles, 8 washcloths, 4 receiving blankets, 4 onesises and diapers

I found these onesies at Tuesday Mornings. I also saw them at Burlington Coat Factory. Only $4.99 for a pack of three great deal!

I added some beads to a large safety pin and pinned the outside blanket on the back of the cake.

Layer two had another regular sized bottle, 2 receiving blankets, 1 onesie, baby blocks and diapers.

I made blocks using mod podge. You can see my pictorial here:

My mom used her new technique and software to take the dalmatian I used on the invitation and make a felt embroidered applique. It turned out perfect! Thanks mom!

I filled every bottle with candy treats for the mommy 

The top tier had 4 washcloths, a small bottle, diapers, brown spotted dalmatian, and a wipes case.

I added a recipe tag to show all the ingredients used in making this cake.
