Teacher Appreciation Gift

by Laura Larsen

This was some much fun to make.

I cut the flowers on my Cricut using Walk in my Garden and Accent Essentuals. The flowers are all approx. 1 3/4" - 2 1/4" in size. The leaves are all 1".

I ran some of the flowers and leaves through my Cuttlebug to emboss them.

I used some of my favorite products from Close To My Heart for this project:
  1. Boom-Di-Ada Level 2 Paper Packet
  2. Textured CS (for the leaves)
  3. Delta Ceramcoat paint and Garden Green re-inker (to paint the wooden skewers)
  4. Doodle Alphabet Stamp Set
  5. White Hemp
  6. Absolutely Charming (Connections Club reward item)
  7. Bigger Brads (Autumn Harvest Collection)
  8. Natural Twill Ribbon
  9. Buttercup Marker (for accents)
  10. Black Stamp Pad
  11. Liquid Glass
I purchased the tin bucket at the $1 spot at Target. I used green planters foam to stick the flowers in and then covered that with brown shredded paper - both purchased at my local Dollar Store.
