Teacher Goodie Bags by Tessa

Hello!  It's Tessa Wise here with you today sharing some treats I made for our teachers for the first day of school but they are great for any time of year. 

I picked up yummy chocolate bars and some Starbucks Refreshers to keep the teachers going on the first day.  I thought it would be fun to decorate the packaging and personalize them a bit.

I wrapped the Refreshers in patterned papers adhering it together at the top of the packages.  Next I added a panel of striped patterned paper towards to bottom and a scallop cut out of colored cardstock to each of them.  I added a border from SRM's Sticker Stitches/ Black sticker sheet over the top of each scalloped piece.

**I've included a mini tutorial at this point so that you.  Enjoy!**

I started my stamping next using stamping sets by Lawn Fawn.  I stamped the white board and stars on to a white piece of cardstock and colored it in with Copic markers.  I fussy cut around it and added this perfect sentiment from the Say It With Stickers/ Teacher sticker sheet. I added it to one of the packages using foam adhesive dots.  I picked a Small White and Medium Blue Scalloped Punched Pieces and added the cut apple sticker from the Quick Cards/ Teacher sticker sheet to the center.  I punched a hole at the top and threaded it with some Solid Stone Baker's Twine, wrapping it around the top of the package and finishing it with a bow.  I diecut a journaling card out of white paper and stamped the globe for the second package.  I watercolored it and splattered it with gray ink.  Once it was dry, I added my sentiment from the Say It With Stickers/ Teacher sticker sheet.  I added two epoxy geotags to embellish and adhered it to my card using foam adhesive dots.  I finished the packaging with the Solid Stone Baker's Twine at the top, tying it in a simple bow.

The chocolate bars were the perfect size for the Original 7" x 1" Tube.  I decorated them with banners of the same patterned papers and added the sentiments from the Say It With Stickers/ Teacher sticker sheet.  I finished them off with the same Solid Stone Baker's Twine wrapped around the tops and tied in a bow.

Did you make any treats for the first day of school?  I think the teachers will love these personalized treats!  They would be great for Christmas gifts too!
