I had some mass-production goin' on this weekend. It actually only took me 3 hours to make 12 of these cards for the daughters' bus driver, teachers, ST, OT, and the school secretaries...these people who help care for my dds and make our lives a little easier. (The little milk carton "Got Love?" is Sue's idea; she is my SU rep and we made them at her January stamp camp.)
I actually ordered the stamp set and heart sweet treat cups last year. But we had snow, snow, and more snow and my dds were out of school from February 5th-15th. I made a group "spring gift" instead. Remember my "Teacher Survival Kit" inspired by my DT sister, Jana Eubank? Yeah, the teachers loved it and they are still using it (the candy has been refilled dozens of times now.) I made these treat cup cards this year and I will deliver them in a couple of hours. I even decorated the inside:
See the "trap door"? The teachers will pull the tab to access the candy. Many of the other card ideas I have seen involved destroying the card to get to the candy. I got this idea from Jenni, who has a super easy video tutorial here. Thank you, Jenni!!!If you need a really easy last minute gift today, check out Betty's paper basket tutorial at Betty Bee's Buzz. Quick and fabulous; I promise!
