Happy Tuesday everyone! This is Jana and I'm here to share a creative and unique Teacher Appreciation Week gift idea with you!
I've researched online and have asked teachers I
know what kinds of gifts they love to receive from their students and
they all seem to say the same thing ... GIFT CARDS! But giving a gift
card to someone can feel "last-minute" and impersonal. So why not
package the gift card with a personal touch? Like this sweet school bus
shaped gift box.
I used the Boy Crazy collection along
with my electronic cutting machine and an ice cream truck cut file by
SVGCuts.com to create this fun box. The characters from the felt
stickers make perfect passengers! And the Decorative Buttons are the
perfect accents! I even created a flip-out stop sign
for the side of the bus to keep the boarding riders safe and sound.
Letter stickers from the Find Your Wings and Fly Collection label
the bus with the teacher's name.
When the back of the box is opened a few handfuls of the teacher's favorite candy come spilling out along with a library card pocket containing a gift card to her favorite restaurant.
The library pocket and apple were also cut with my electronic die cut machine. I gave the apple a little texture with an embossing folder. Another button from the Boy Crazy collection and some twine from the Kraft FunDay collection add some fun (and a little visual interest) to the pocket. The candies get dressed up patterned paper bands using the Boy Crazy 6 x 6 papers!
The mini banner pieces from the Boy Crazy Decorative Buttons adorn the other side of the bus, and the Enamel Dots make the most perfect lights and wheel accents!
It's a colorful and fun way to let your child's teacher know how much you appreciate them! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
