Here is my project: I  used again our sponsor's SVG file: Mini rounded tote TEMPLATE/SVG to prepare for all the goody bags I will make for this thanksgiving:

This are the supplies I used:

To create the descending sun, I used:

Some further picks from my sparkling project:

I dry embossed the treat box with Anna Griffing's and from another company for the wheat on the handles. I added fall ribbon leaves, a shippie (Creative Embellishments) for the fall leave and one for the acorn, which I distressed with TH distressing inks, as shown on a previous picture. And for accenting this glitter paper printed flower some gold sequins.

The back view:

To finish, I added a bow from 3 Girls Jam ribbon.

Bookmarks for Teachers Appreciation Week

Good morning dear scrappers,

I wanted to share with you these bookmarks, I made for teachers' appreciation week.

I started making some pillow gift boxes using TH die. Note: don't try to cut more than one piece of paper with this die because the embossed part of the box will be cut instead. I did it and ended up having to adhere the box lids with washi tape, very annoying.

Then I cut some tags using Paper Artist dies (from a Paper Wishes monthly die-club) from several school related B&T papers from CTMH (all retired collections, using my stash...). I like this tags because they are big enough to serve as bookmarks.

Then, I stamped the back with a CTMH stamp for the sentiment and some of my children's names stamps I have.

For the front, I stamped the sentiment and and cut them using a Martha Stewart punch. Using another punch I cut some red cardstock squares and stamped them with the apples.

I had some strip borders and used them randomly as decoration for the tags.

The binder paper strips are the negatives from a CM border punch I had in my stash.

I just love this Creative Embellishments wooden shapes, those I made holes using my crocodile and used as dangle with some twine.

 I also colored another wooden shape (the  apple with the worm) and added to one special bookmark:

Finally. I attached one pillow box to each laminated bookmark with scotch tape:

I hope the teachers and you like their little bookmarks and the few goodies I could fit in these pillow gift boxes.

Best wishes for your week

Vicky Tovar

Part 2: Father's day Tags and Creative Embellishments Design Team Call

Dear scrappers 

This is the follow up of my previous post:

The tags. I would love to be part of the Creative Embellishment team, thus I wanted to showcase how I can alter their shipboards. I used their gears chipboard for my tags dangles:

For the dangle on the bookmarks, I used Creative Embellishments chipboard gears and double heat embossed them:

First with CTMH silver embossing powder 

Then with vintage photo (rust effect) TH, Ranger embossing powder:

It was kind of difficult to get a good picture of the silver rusted gears

I wanted to explain better this technique, thus I decided to post it separated from the previous post.

I hope you enjoy it

For this challenge, I decided to create a new type of card for me: Double pocket card, because I wanted to participate in the Between the Folds challenge and wanted to make a card for my Father for Father's day including bookmarks:

I used Polka Doodles digital image: HANDYMAN DAVE DIGITAL STAMP DOWNLOAD

I used some CTMH masculine paperback. retired a while ago. And This Father's day stamp for my stamped sentiment.

For the dangle on the bookmarks, I used Creative Embellishments chipboard wears and double heat embossed them. For the details, please see my following post.

The front of the tags: I used two freebie sentiments from Polka Doodles, and foil them using my laminating machine:

The back of the tags. the handy man again, and a sticker:

A closer look to the foil-sentiments:

I hope you enjoyed this cards as much as I did.

Have a wonderful week

Vicky
