Piggy Birthday Card

I have another birthday card for a student to share today!  I have fun making these, asking my kids ahead of time what their favorite animals and colors are and then finding the perfect cuts to use with my Cricut or Cameo.  For today's card, I found a pig for Pierce on the Cricut Noah's ABC Animals cartridge and a party hat on the Straight From the Nest cartridge.  For the background, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using one of the My Creative Time Stitched Rectangular Frame Dies and cut it in half with one of the MCT More Stitched Edges Dies. I then inked up the two parts using Tim Holtz Distress Inks in the colors listed below.  I also spritzed the pieces with the Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer to give them that distressed look.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Birthday Bash Sentiments stamp set.

Kids' Post-It Holders

Last Friday was our last day of school, and I made a little post-it note holder for each of my students.  I surveyed them ahead of time on their favorite colors, sports, and animals so that I could personalize each one.  I learned how to make these a couple of years ago through a great tutorial from Made by Momo.  The video I've linked has a few different projects in it, but you'll see the Post-it holder at around 6 1/2 minutes into the video.  

Here are some of the ones I made.  I'll list below each pic where the cut and embossing folders are from.

Monkey:  Cricut Create a Critter & Cuttlebug Stylized Flowers

Dog:  Cricut Boys Will be Boys & Cuttlebug Honeycomb

Wolf:  Cricut Noah's ABCs & Cuttlebug Seeing Spots

Elephant:  Cricut Noah's ABCs & Cuttlebug Stylized Flowers

Dog:  Silhouette Cut & Cuttlebug Honeycomb

Football:  Cricut Boys Will be Boys & Cuttlebug Bricks

Shark:  Cricut Birthday Bash & Cuttlebug Mesh Texture

I packaged each one in a cellophane bag.

I then added a cute little tag made with My Creative Time's Scallop & Stitched Circle Dies, stamped with a sentiment from All Around Everything & an image from All Around Everything Accessories.
