Grateful Shadow Box

I have another fall home decor project for you today. Once again I'm using the beautiful Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper, the Gather Together Bundle, as well as Harvest Hellos. This is a spin-off of the Grateful Shadow box I made last year.

I'm repeating my monthly shadow box classes this year for new attendees who missed the series last year. However, the DSP and wood pieces from last year were retired so I needed to made something new. I think I like this one even more! The shiny elements in designer paper are so gorgeous!

Measurements:

The top layer of each square is 2" x 2", the mat behind the square it is 2-1/4" x 2-1/4"
The DSP on the large rectangle is 2" x 7-7/8",the mat behind it is 2-1/4" x 8-1/8"
The Crumb Cake background measures 8-1/2 x 8-1/2, matted on 9" x 9" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.
The frame is a 9" x 9" shadow box. I love the Belmont brand from Michaels.
The Cajun Craze leaves were misted with a mix of alcohol and Copper Shimmer Paint right before die-cutting. This made a deeper embossing impression and gave them a nice shimmer. I did the same process with the Mint Macaron leaves using Champagne Mist Shimmer paint. The other metallic leaves were die-cut from the Brushed Metallic Cardstock.

I love having a new shadow box for each month! I put them on my piano where I teach lessons daily. It gives me and my students something happy to look at! :)

Teacher Appreciation Post-It Gift

For once in my life, I was prepared in advance for Teacher Appreciation week! I made this little post-it-note pouch for my son's teacher back in March. I should have given it to her in March because Coronavirus came to visit mid-March and we've been social-distancing ever since. Schools closed and this little pouch is still sitting on my shelf. Teacher Appreciate week was last week, but I still need to get his teacher's address so I can send it to her!

I make post-it note pouches all the time. As a piano teacher, I always have post-it notes by my side and I like to have them cutely packaged. Note: These notes are not actual Post-it Note brand and my measurements won't fit the post-it brand correctly. These measurements are made to fit the less expensive Highland Note brand. You can make a bunch without spending a fortune. It's the love that counts! :) Here are the measurements:

Start with a piece of Poppy Parade cardstock and cut at 3-1/4" x 8-1/2"
With 8-1/2" side at the top, score at 3-1/8", 3-9/16", 6 5/8", 7-1/16"
Use a corner rounder punch to round your top and bottom corners.
Fold on your score lines and attach your post-its to the center with glue or other adhesive.
Add magnetic strips. I cut them from magnetic vent covers purchased at Lowes. I used tear tape to attach them.
Now you just need to decorate the front! I used the Bold Brights DSP (retired now) for the apple and the green strip across the front. See the remaining supplies used at the end of this post.

Here is a cute card to go along with the pouch:

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you will enjoy making these post-it pouches as much as I did! Please use the May Host Code when you order online this month: UXG4FRQG. If your order is over $50, you will receive a box of glue dots as a free gift from me. If your order is over $150, do not use the code as you will earn the host rewards for yourself plus get the glue dots.

Happy Stamping!
