Teacher Shaker Card by Michele

Good morning friends!

Michele here with a card that is near and dear to my heart!

I am a 4th grade teacher and I love to recognize other teachers for the hard work and dedication they give every single day. 

My children were blessed to have some pretty remarkable educators in their lives!

I created a shaker card using oval dies and the little apple stamp from the Healthy Plans Clear Planner Stamp.   The apple was stamped repeatedly around the frame, colored in with Copics and given a coat of glossy accents.  Once it was dry, I used the White Reminisce Gel pen to add a highlight to each apple.  

I filled the center with coordinating colors!  I used the teacher sticker from the Quick Cards Back to School Stickers. 

Thank you so much for popping in today!

Have a great day!!

Mini Calendar Teacher Gift by Karen

Hello!  Karen here today.  I love doing Back to School projects! 

It's almost time! The summer is winding down and school supplies are stacking up. Today, I'm sharing a cute back to school calendar project for your favorite teachers. I started with a mini clipboard that I covered with school themed washi tape.

Then I grabbed all my school themed SRM stickers and the 2017 and 2018 calendar stickers. Using precut 3x4 journaling cards sped up the project and provided additional background color. I used the mini calendar stickers and lots of SRM stickers to create a card for each month. Each month's card is fun and unique.

Happy back to school time!

For this project, I used lots of stickers from these SRM collections:

Mini Calendar Standard for 2017 and 2018 | Year of Memories 2018 | Express Yourself School | Live Life School | Say It With Stickers Teacher | FreeStyle School | 

Back to School! (Already?) by Michele

It is hard to believe that back to school is right around the corner! Which means this gal right here is back to work soon! ;)  I used the new Fall Plans Clear Planner Stamp to create this card for my son. 

I stamped the checks  in a horizontal pattern.

I broke up the checks with my sentiment, the row of apples, and the glittery strips.  I used my Mini Misti to line my apples up.  (Otherwise they definitely would have looked wonky!)  I added black  jute at the top and 3 epoxy circles to balance the card.  

To create a bit more interest, I added glossy accents to each apple. I also used a white gel pen to add the highlight. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!!

Teacher Gift Set by Karen

Hello!  Karen here today with some fun ideas for Teacher Appreciation. 

Whether it's for Teacher Appreciation Week or as an end of year thank you, teachers everywhere need to be recognized for all the work and dedication they've shown this past school year. You don't need to spend a lot of money. Even something small can say a big thank you. 

SRM tubes are perfect for a little thank you and when filled with a sweet treat, it fits the bill for cute and satisfying. Use stickers from any of SRM's adorable and inspiring school-themed sets to decorate any size tube. Using an awl, I poked a hole in the top of my lid and attached several lengths of twine to create a few hanging tags. The tags are stickers on a semi-clear plastic backing.

The bright red chevron paper bags are perfect for teacher appreciation, too. I cut out an apple shape in the front layer and inserted a piece of printed acetate inside. I shaped a stem and leaf by hand from cardstock and used a marker to outline it. Give your favorite teacher a gift card, decorated cookie, candies, or like me, a set of colorful pens. A small clothespin clip decorated with more stickers keep them secure. One more sentiment sticker across the bottom sends the message that we appreciate our teachers!

Don't forget to say thanks to the great teachers who have helped you or your kiddos grow this year!

For these projects, I used:

Back to School Planner Bookmark & Pages by Tobi

Hello, Tobi here today with a fun project.

Back to school means back to work for me and my husband and yes, I feel all of the same jitters that the kids do! I love getting back into a routine and meeting my new students... It's all very exciting.

This year I have a goal: USE MY PLANNER! 

I've had a planner for the past two years and I always have great intentions, but I never follow through. I am hoping that by making my planner more teacher-friendly I will use it on a daily basis... 

To start the year off I added a bunch of inspirational words from the Say It With Stickers: Teacher sheet. 

To hold my place in the planner I created a really easy bookmark: sticker, patterned paper, cardstock and some twine… 

I made the twine stick out a bit so when the planner's closed I can quickly find my spot:

Teacher Gifts Bags by Angi

Hello SRM fans! Angi from Twenty Five Smiles here to share something fun for teachers. Teacher Appreciation Day is coming up on May 9th. Why not make a little something to bring a smile their face.

I love SRM's embossed dots glassine bags. I layered this bag with a doily. I then placed a pencil card on top and added an Express Yourself - School sticker to the bottom. I also used one of SRM's skinny tubes and filled it with candy. I placed an apple sticker from the Calendar Companion set to the front.

You can fill the bag with a gift card or something sweet for teacher.

I hope you enjoyed my sweet little project today. Be sure to check out all of the fun products in the SRM Store!

Teacher Planner by Angi

Hello SRM fans! Angi Barrs here with a fun monthly planner idea.

I have a busy school year ahead of me and SRM Stickers is helping me stay organized. Their stickers are perfect to document important dates for you and your kiddos.

Here's what I came up with for September:

If you are a teacher then you will love the school themed stickers. My favorite is the Quick Cards/Teacher sticker set.  I love the font and the shiny red apple. I love to use these on my lesson plans.

I also love the school themed stickers in the Calendar Companion set. The cute little stickers are just the right size to fit in a planner or on a calendar. 

If you are a parent then you will love this set. You can keep up with events and school holidays for your kiddos.

I also used Sticker Stitches and Stickers by the Dozen - Birthday Birdie in my planner. These stickers are a fun and easy way to keep up with important dates all year long.  I love using the Sticker Stitches to separate the days.  So fun!

Be sure to check out all of the fun planner and calendar stickers in the SRM Store. And if you like to plan ahead you will love all of the new 2016 stickers. Be sure to hop on over and order those!

Back to School & Thank you Teacher by Lesley

Hello SRM fans! Lesley Croghan here sharing a couple of fun little gifts for back to school time! 

This first project would be something fun and "sweet" to put into your child's lunch on the first day of school! Imagine them finding this little box full of "sugar-free" sweets to share with their new classmates. I used the Freestyle School stickers to decorate the little Mini Box. 

I just love the wonderful quotes in the Say it with Stickers/Teacher set. I placed the sentiment on a tag and added some black Sticker Stitches on it too. 

Using a large Chevron Embossed Glassine bag, I put in some cute new pencils and pens for the teacher.

 

I hope this has given you some ideas for Back to School!

A Gift for the Teacher by Lorena

Hello, SRM friends! With Summer quickly approaching, school will soon come to an end, so it's time to get those teacher gifts ready! It's Lorena here today to share an idea to package those well deserved gifts.

When I was creating this project, I did it with kids in mind. The design is simple enough that your kids can help you put it together, maybe coloring the stamped apple, adhering the border stickers or helping to die cut the foam letters. It may not turn super duper perfect, but I'm sure their teacher will love that they helped creating the package :)

I started with a 3x3x2 kraft box, and spiced it up with two red border stickers from Sticker Stitches/Christmas (Yay for using Christmas products all year round!). I wanted to add some white to make the borders pop even more, and the fine tip Bistro Chalk White Marker was perfect for that! I added white dots to the patterns. It takes a few minutes for the marker to dry, so be careful not to smudge it!

The "thank you" sticker comes from We've Got Your Sticker Plus/Thanks. Of course, no teacher gift is complete without an apple, so I stamped, colored and fussy cut the cute apple from Garden Friends stamp set and adhered it with foam tape. To spell "teacher" I die cut the letters from craft foam and adhered them to the box. Easy peasy!

And that's it! What about you, will you be creating handmade gifts for the teacher this year? Thanks for stopping by!

Chalkboard Teacher Thank You Card by Christine

Teacher Appreciation Day is coming up soon! 

May 5th is the day set aside to make sure and thank our teachers!  Now is the time to get working on those special cards for those people who take special care of your kiddos and SRM has all that you need to make teacher cards! Christine joining you today to share one of my teacher cards!

The new Chalkboard Marker makes it easy to make a personalized card! After cutting my card to be shaped like a chalkboard easel, I used the Easy Chalkboard Marker to create my own chalkboard. 

I added some Abc's etc with the Bistro White Fine Tip Chalk Marker.

A "Thanks" from the Sentiment: Thank You stickers works perfectly for adding the thank you but with a different medium.  And of course what teacher card would be finished without an apple on it - the one from Quick Cards/Teacher is perfect!

Easy as ABC.. Easy as 123!  Get yourself some of these amazing markers and have yourself some fun making your own Chalkboard projects!

Chalkboard Frame Teacher's Gift by Tessa Wise

Aren't you loving the chalkboard craze?  It's Tessa Wise joining you today with another chalkboard gift idea!  I created this one for my oldest daughter's teacher.

I bought the frame at the store.  It was pretty on it's own but so much more fun to personalize!  I cut a piece of black polka-dot paper to 8x10 and put it inside the frame.  

The new Bistro Chalk Markers are perfect for writing on glass.  They don't smudge easily and wipe right off when you're ready.  I drew a little welcome sign on it but I think it would be cute with spelling words, a countdown to a special day, or test reminders, too!  

 I added a few details to the frame to make it a little more fun.  A couple of chipboard stickers from Simple Stories were the perfect embellishment to the corners.  I wrapped the top with Cantaloupe Baker's Twine and tied it in a bow at the corner as well.

At the bottom, I added this definition sticker from the Say It With Stickers Mini Sheet: Fourth Grade Sticker Sheet.  It was the perfect last touch!

Mrs. Trachsel has been such a great teacher this year!  My daughter can't wait to give it to her on Teacher Appreciation Day.  I'm going to wrap it up with a set of the fine tipped Bistro Chalk Markers too!  I hope she likes it!

Thanks for joining me!

Teacher Purse by Cassonda

Hi everyone! Cassonda Tadlock here to share with you an easy and quick teacher gift. My new job has me sharing a room with another Kindergarten teacher so I decided to make her a little gift to show my appreciation. It is her room after all.

Take the Small Clear Purse and swipe some red paint across the front. After it dries use some stamps and white ink to add some designs to the front.  I love this effect and I love these swirl and dot stamps. So fun! !

Tie a pair of sweet little SRM punched pieces to the handle with some Twinery Maraschino Twine. Here I used a pink punched piece for the apple since it's her favortie color. :)

Place the gift or sweet treat inside and close up the purse box. 

I sure hope she loves it! ♥

Thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to drop in tomorrow for another dose of SRM Design Team inspiration!

A Sharp Teacher Gift Set by Stacey

Hi SRM Stickers friends!

Stacey Schafer here sharing a Back to School Teacher Sharpie Gift Set!

I've said it before, but I must say it again...SRM Stickers makes gifting EASY!  I adore all of the fun craft bags and containers that are ready to embellish!

I used one of those awesome Embossed Chevron Kraft Bag decorated with a 4" Round White Lace Doily, Say It With Stickers/Teacher, and a little Solid Denim Twine bow.

Here's the SRM supplies you'll need to create this easy peasy teacher gift.  

This idea is great for back to school for my boy's high school teachers!  Teachers love SHARPIES, especially in fun, bold colors.  They would also make a great Christmas teacher gift or a teacher thank you gift any time of year. 

Thanks so much for stopping by the SRM Stickers Blog!  Be sure to drop by tomorrow for more inspiration.
