Lunch Box Notes - Back to School

Hello Crafters, I am back again with another fun project.  This is #2 of 3 Back to school projects I am working on.  What a wonderful surprise it is to find a little note in your lunchbox from your Mom, or even from your Dad for that matter.
After I added my sentiments and Front of envelope shown
Before I added my sentiments and Back of envelope shown
 This Note Card & Envelope set are just so adorable.  I had so much fun making them.  You can write your message in by hand, stamp a cute sentiment or even use your computer to design and print your message.  I used my computer and printed mine on plain white paper.  You could also use a colored paper...pink for a girl, blue for a boy.  I chose to use my cricut...using the center point feature and cut out the square shape from my accent essentials cartridge at 2.5 inches with the real dial size on...Perfect...lol.
I then pasted it to the cute little notecard.  On one of
them I also stamped a little pink heart in my sentiment.
This is sure to put a smile on any kids face.  You could also
use this for a teacher note and even slip in a gift card for her.
(you would need to score the envelope flap just a bit higher)
So Head on over to Scrappin Hens and check out
My Sweet Tater Designs for this kit plus tons more.

I will be back with some matching Book Markers later on...
Until next time...wishing you a wonderful crafty Day!

 These are printed on white card stock.

These are printed on plain white printer paper
You can add whatever you want to these cute little pouches...I will probably add little name tags and give out to the kiddos.
What a cute little set this is, once again you an find these and many more files to print out on your printer.  Then you just cut them, Score them, paste them and use them...Easy Peasy!!!

Guess Who Says Happy Birthday Owl Box - My Sweet Tater

Can't get enough of these cute cute files from My Sweet Tater.
This one is my Fav so far...Love it!!!

Oh My Gosh Isn't this just way too cute?  I am loving these files.  All of you just hop on over to
Scrappin Hens to pick up your print and cut files
for this adorable 3x3 Box.

All I did was print it out on white cardstock, cut it out,
used my bone folder to crease the fold lines, used my hot glue
gun to glue it all together and then I just added a cute little
ribbon with a simple knot tie.  I love it!!!
here is a shot of it open with goodies in it before I added the ribbon.

Happy Birthday Tri-Fold Card & Envelope - My Sweet Tater

Another cute file from My Sweet Tater. 
I inked it up with pink but it was very cute as is.
The envelope that matches is wonderful.  You can add text before you print it out but I am not sure yet who it is going to so I will just add labels to it later. 


Here is the matching envelope...So stinkin' Cute

Christmas Pinch Box - My Sweet Tater

In a recent blog hop I did I was lucky enough to meet MJ from My Sweet Tater, she designs the cutest files...they are so quick and easy too.  You just print, cut, score and adhere them together for most of her files.  you can then add extra embellishments if you want but most of them are so adorable already that you don't really need to.  They are great...I did this one from one of the free files I got on the blog hop.  You can go check out more of her files at the Scrappin Hens Store.  They are so so cute, I will be getting many more of her files for myself and showing them right here.

Sympathy Card for a Friend

Unfortunatley my Husband lost his Best friend a couple of Days ago...This Man was like a Father to him and meant sooo much.  I feel so Sad for his wife that he left behind.  I made this card for her in this sad sad time...I know there is nothing I can say that will help her right now but I hope this card will bring some little comfort even if it is just a bit.
inside
I used one of my Kits from Card Maker Kit of the
Month Club - called the Simple Comfort Kit.
The stamp that I chose from this Kit for the inside sentiment is so beautiful.
(May Love, Time and Memories soften your sadness and bring you peace)
I used my Zing embossing powder from American Crafts to heat
 emboss this inside sentiment and the glue pad is from Palette.  Everything else is from the kit.
