We are celebrating teachers this week at Your Next Stamp!!

With Teacher Appreciation Day coming up on May 3rd, we wanted to provide you with lots of inspiration to thank the special teachers in your lives!

    

I have three kiddos in elementary school, so I am always trying to think of new ideas for little teacher gifts. It doesn't have to be anything fancy or expensive, but a special touch like a handmade tag on a store bought gift can go a long way!

I created a simple tag to tie onto some school supplies for my project today.

   

   

I tried something new (for me)... I found some cork sheets on clearance at Hobby Lobby, and grabbed them to try with my die cuts. I cut the tag out with the Stitched Fishtail Tags Two Die Set, once with the cork, and once with cardstock. The cork was a little flimsy, so I adhered it to the cardstock for more stability. The stitching didn't show up on the cork, but it cut beautifully!!

    

  

I stamped a sentiment from A"dork"able onto the cork using Versafine Onyx Ink. The tag is finished off with the Apple Die, pieced together with polka dot paper from Doodlebug, kraft for the stem, and green for the leaf, and popped up above the sentiment. The edges of each of the papers for the apple were inked in coordinating colors of distress inks.

   

Pretty simple, but sure to be appreciated by a stationery loving teacher! :)
