Quick & Easy Teacher Gift

We head back to school next Tuesday, and I wanted to get a little gift for my colleagues.  A couple of weeks ago I took my son back-to-school shopping at the outlets, and Bath & Body Works had their bottles of scented hand sanitizers on sale, 7 for $20.  I decided that would be the perfect thing to keep my friends healthy, so I picked up a bunch and decorated them with some ribbon and a tag.

To make my tag, I started with a shape made with the Papertrey Ink Mat Stack 4 die as my base, and I inked the edges with Vintage Cream ink.  I then took the "Happy 1st Day of School" stamp from the My Creative Time Gift Card Sentiments stamp set.  This is one long sentiment, so to fit my tag, I covered one part of it at a time with scotch tape while I inked it up.  In this way, I was able to turn it into a two-line sentiment.  I cut a 1.08" apple from Create a Critter, ran it through the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder, and popped it up on a circle and scallop created with the My Creative Time Scallop & Stitched Circle Dies.  A little eyelet finished it off nicely.

Last year my sister gave me a bottle of apple scented hand sanitizer, and my students loved it!  They all asked their parents for different scents for Christmas and loved sharing them with each other.  The bonus was that we were the healthiest class in the school.  It really worked!
