Paper Sweeties August Release Sneak Peeks!! =)

            HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

How EXCITING!! Paper Sweeties is CELEBRATING their 6th Anniversary!! 

I'm here with a SWEET Project today for a NEW Teacher Gift!! 

My Boys will be heading back to school on Thursday!! Beckett will be a 6th Grader this Year and my Baby Greyson will be starting Kindergarten!! I'm EXCITED for him because I KNOW he CAN'T WAIT to be in School ALL day, but I'm also SAD for SO MANY reasons too!! 

So with the NEW School Year in mind I decided to create a New Teacher Gift Box!! 

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE how EASY these are to create and they can be 
    used for so many occasions!!  
    Here's the Sets so you can check them out if you've missed them!!??

                                 Treat Box Add-on: Home & Garden

                       Treat Box Add-on: Home & Garden Sweet Cuts

I started by Creating my School House Gift Box!! 

SQUEAL!! Isn't it just the CUTEST!! I LOVE the Chimney as I think it adds to the idea that its a School House!! I Die Cut all of the Pieces to create the Box!! I Die Cut them and Inked the Edges using some Hickory Smoke Distress Ink!! I also used the SWEET Image from the Planner Series Checklist Stamp Set and fussy Cut him out!! I Colored him with Copic Markers and added some Gel Pen and Nuvo Drops details!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto a Paper Sweeties Gift Tag Die Cut using the NEW August Release!! A Mini Cloths Pin and a Seam Binding Bow was added to finish off the School Gift Box!! I hope this gives you some ideas on a different way to use these AWESOME Sets!! 

The Design Team is sharing some fabulous inspiration...be sure to check out their blogs!
