Today we have a simply delightful teacher gift and accompanying card from
Ranjini Malhotra.
When I first thought about doing a teacher gift, I decided that I wanted to do something pretty and elegant that Alekha's teacher could hang in her classroom. I bought this hanging file holder from Target and altered it very simply using JBS patterned paper (
Red/Black Line Extension III) on the front face. Because the file holder is made of metal, you could also add coordinating magnets on the front. I added chartreuse trim, and a gold ribbon with red seam binding for accent. I created the vintage label with the teacher's name and the school's name in Photoshop. I love the finished look.
Once I used the vintage kids patterned paper for the metal file folder, I decided to do a coordinating card and used the photo card from the
Haven Accessory Paper. I trimmed it down and added the humorous text "The teaching staff could barely contain their excitement at the thought of another school year," for some lighthearted humor for Alekha's very hard working teacher! I accented it with
JBS tickets,
JBS star chipboard, the
JBS red bow and
stamp.

Fantastic! Love this idea, thanks.
ReplyDelete"The teaching staff could barely contain their excitement..." I laughed so hard my tummy still hurts! TOO funny. This teacher would love this gift and card, for sure.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a neat project. I'm going to make one for myself! Thanks for the inspiration.
