Truly Mine Tags and Projects...

I had a chance to get a few more projects done this weekend and today when little bit was at school so I wanted to share them with you really quickly. I created this tag set for those teacher gifts that are super fast and fun for the kids to give.

These tags would be great for teacher gifts, cards, treat bags or whatever you may be crafting right now for your sweetie!

With my first sheet (which I printed on Avery sticker paper) I decided I would use these jars from Ikea and let each child pick out a candy to fill them with for their teacher. I used my Marvy circle punch which fit the top of the jar perfectly and then put them on the top of the jars and they are ready to go! 

You could add a little ribbon or twine if you wanted but they really are cute with just the stickers attached! (I think I may swap out Jake's choice of sweet tarts for some dark chocolate when he's not looking!) Or maybe it's just me that is craving chocolate right now.

Then I wanted to make a card for each teacher to go along with the jars. I found these cool petal envelopes at Staples the other day in the clearance bin and thought they would be fun so I printed the trellis background paper that is in the Truly Mine Project set, adhered it to the back of the envelope and this is where each child will write their note to the teacher. 

Then I punched a heart from the same paper, and added a vintage bit of paper, some seam binding ribbon and did you spy the button?...that is one of the buttons from the new Wayfarer line. Just happened to match this card perfectly! All of this is attached to just the envelope so they can open it with ease.

Then this next little project was all for me! ;) I wanted something fun to put on the entry way table for valentines day so I made this art piece using the background papers. I found the frame at Ikea and spray painted it brown.

Then I inserted one of the background papers from the collection (mustard dot). Then using my heart punch I punched out hearts from various patterned papers (7 total) layered and arranged them and then stitched them directly to the paper vertically through the centers of the hearts.  

I then typed "be mine" with my vintage typewriter and made a banner to span the center heart. Took me about 20 minutes and now I have a cute art piece to display and I plan on making a banner to hang behind it tonight!

What are you creating for Valentine's Day this year?

I always love the frames that you buy from IKEA and so since I live in Alaska I went to their website to try and order frames and they only sell them in the stores. I'm bummed, maybe one day I will get to go to an IKEA store. Have a great day!
