HANDMADE GIFTS - TEACHER APPRECIATION FROM CLOSE TO MY HEART
Its that time of year again !!!!!!!!!!!!
End of school year
and time to start thinking about thank you gifts for the teacher.
This year I decided to make a unique teachers gift, Using our Teacher Appreciation stamp set and
our Exclusive Cricut Artiste Cartridge.
I purchased this MDF box from the hardware, sealed it with High Gloss sealant
then covered it with our Snowhaven Duo B&T papers, using both sides of the paper. Using
the same paper I cut out the roses using the Cricut Artiste cartridge and Cricut Expressions
So here's a HANDY TIP for stamping onto MDF - Using our exclusive
Teacher Appreciation D1612 stamp set I mounted it onto our clear blocks, then inked the stamp with
Versa Mark, Then Black Stazon Ink. I quickly stamped it onto the mdf and put clear embossing powder on it and used the heat gun to set it. This gives the inked stamped image a raised glossy finish on it, but it also seals it onto the MDF. Once dry, I then spray Clear gloss finish spray over the top. This will aid in the stamped image to remain on the project and not wear or rub off.
Teacher Appreciation Item Number: D1612
And next month you can get the Teacher Appreciation stamp set for only $10.00
with qualifying purchases.

CHRISTMAS CARDS FOR AUSSIE TROOPS 2014
FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK:
Hi there, Christmas Cards for Troops is up and running again and we will be collecting Christmas Cards. So there is still time if you would like to donate cards this year. please address them to:
Cards for Troops
C/- Unit 2/4 Kenton Street
TORONTO NSW 2283
CURRENT CARD TALLY = 38
THANK YOU TO THE FOLLOWING GORGOUS LADIES FOR DONATING THEIR WONDERFUL HAND MADE CHRISTMAS CARDS FOR THE TROOPS:
If you would like to donate some hand made christmas cards for our serving defence forces this year please post them to:
CARDS FOR DIGGERS
C/- Unit 2/ 4 Kenton Street
TORONTO NSW 2283
A couple of things to remember when making christmas cards for this cause.
Please leave the inside of the card blank so the diggers can write in them.
Please provide an envelope with each card.
Please place all cards and envelopes in a clip lock plastic bag with the total number of cards written on the outside of the plastic bag with your name on them. This is important as it assists with counting and packaging of the cards when sorting specific numbers serving in specific regions. It is equally important to put your name on it, so that i can add your name to the many of you all to say thank you for your contribution on the blog roll of wonderful australian card makers who donated this year.
Shame on Me (Tracey): Thank you julie for your post because for the past 3 years, i have had my wonderful helpers behind the scenes and have never publicly thanked them. My friends Marg Henehan, Linda Moore, Helen Reneman and Roslyn Maher have helped me for the past 3 years to prepare the packs for cards for troops days at williamstown Maitland, Glenbrook and Ourimbah. We spend days and days, cutting up cards, cutting all the embellishments and sorting and counting them into packs of 10. Of course the first card in each pack is made as an example, this card is designed by one of us and then there is enough supplies cut up to make 9 more cards the same. This year we made over 100 packs up and each year this amount grows as does cards for the aussie troops. The majority of the products for these cards i purchase out of my own pocket to supply them for cards for troops for christmas and mothers day. However, there are two people who i have never thanked publicly and i am so ashamed that i feel i must let you all know, that since cards for aussie troops started 5 years ago, every year my MUM AND DAUGHTER (just turned 10) have spent hours and hours every year, over many months, sorting all the cards and ensuring each and every one of them had an envelope, counting them into bundles of 80 or 100 to fit in the envelopes for shipping to our troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, East Timor, Samolia, out to the Navy in the pacific ocean and once to egypt and without them all for the past 5 years i would not have been able to do it all on my own. SO MUM AND ELLE I LOVE YOU BOTH MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT YOU GIVE ME IN MY ENDEAVOURS
Ok, here is officially my first christmas card for the year and this one is also my first one for Cards for the Troops/ Diggers for 2014.
A little about Cards for the Troops 2014.
For the past 7 years I have been making and collecting hand made christmas cards from card makers all around Australia to send to our Australian Defence forces overseas so that they had cards to send home to their families at christmas. We do this for many reasons some of which are because we want our defence forces to know that the average aussie cares about them, so that they can keep in touch with their loved ones, most of the regions that our defence forces are located in are countries that dont celebrate christmas and therefore, christmas cards dont exist and because its our way of sharing what we love. So if you like making cards and would like to join in and donate some christmas cards the more the merrier.
WOOHOO THANK YOU EVERYONE.
There are a couple of things i should let you know that make it a little easier:
1. Cut of date to recieve cards is October 31st 2011
2. Could you please provide an envelope for each card you make
3. Please put your cards and envelopes into a Large glad lock lunch bag clearly marked with the quantity of cards on the front of the bag.
4. If you would like to put your name and address or business card with each card you are welcome too incase any diggers or card recipients would like to contact to say thank you.
5. Please send your hand made card donations too:
I JUST CANT THANK EVERYONE ENOUGH FOR SUPPORTING OUR COLLECTION FOR HAND MADE CHRISTMAS CARDS FOR OUR DIGGERS.
There are so many wonderful card makers out there that have been sending in and donating their wonderful Hand made christmas cards for our diggers and i would love it if you would all join us again this year.
