Back to School

Hi and welcome, everyone! Today I'm over on the SVG Attic Blog sharing a fun Back to School project featuring the cupcake holder from the Sweet Shop Collection*. This is one of my favorite Collections from SVG Attic, I love this cupcake holder because as you will see you can use it for many occasions. Today I'm sharing how I converted it into a little red school house perfect for a Back to School gift with supplies. 

When I started this project my intention was to create the school house and then add a few supplies, crayons, pencils, erasers and snacks inside. Of course, as I started creating I decided my school needed a cute desk and knew exactly where to find one, the JGW Campus Capers has this adorable Vintage Desk Gift Card Holder* included in it. I sized the desk down a bit because I knew I wouldn't be adding a gift card. 

I started with red 12 x 12 cardstock to create the cupcake box, white cardstock to create the shutters with black cardstock accents.  I used kraft cardstock for the desk and then added accent pieces using the new Echo Park Paper Back to School. 

I didn't want the school supplies just laying inside so I created two side walls by measuring the side sections of the box, creating rectangles with those measurements and adding tabs to the sides to secure the "walls" in place. This created the perfect spot to hide the supplies but leaving me enough room to decorate the inside of the "classroom". 

Class is not complete without a blackboard. I cut a piece of black cardstock and framed it using the wood grain patterned paper from the Back to School kit. I also added stickers from the same kit. 

To create the blackboard cut a piece of black cardstock, using a paintbrush lightly brush white ink across the paper.

Using the same wood patterned paper I created shelves and lined them with fun stickers from the kit. 

I cut out a cute saying from the Back to School paper and used it like a bulletin board. 

 I added crayons, pencils, erasers and two packs of Fig Newtons. Small packs of tissue, a bottle of glue and scissors would be great additions. You could even slide a gift card in there. You could add so many fun things to this gift box to gift a student or teacher. No matter what you add or who you gift it to, I'm sure it will be appreciated. 

As always, thanks for joining us!

Happy Halloween Truffle Boxes with SVG Attic

Happy Friday! I'm sharing one last Halloween 

project with you. I used the Plain Truffle Box from SVGA Sweet Shop Party Collection 

to make these Spook-tacular gifts. I love these Plain Truffle Boxes because you can use them for 

every occasion under the moon and they are easy peasy to make. 

I used The Paper Studio Jeepers Creepers 12 x 12 papers. I stamped the sentiment using Staz On Pumpkin ink, tied the ends with orange, white and black baker's twine. I made all nine of these in an hour, running two cutting mats back to back. 

I added seven peanut butter cups but they will hold more. These boxes measure 10.25" in length and 1.75" in height but they can be made smaller.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend filled with lots of family, friends and candy! 

Happy Halloween!

You should be arriving from Mitsyana's Up On Tippy Toes blog. If you happened across this post out of order, please head to the SVG Attic blog to start at the beginning of the hop.

Photopolymer Stamps.

Other Supplies I used:

 Trendy Twine Limeade and Grape Fizz, Ranger Archival Ink Jet Black, Sharpie Pens, American Crafts 6x6 Toil & Trouble Paper Pad and American Crafts 6x6 Halloween Solids Cardstock Pad.

 I used the 3D Spooky Tree from SDS Ghostly Graveyard Collection and Cupcake Holder from SVGA Sweet Shop Party Collection,  Happy H-owl-ween, Owl, It's All About The Candy and Ghost Stamp from Pink & Main Punkin Stamp Set. 

I resized the Cupcake Holder to make this little candy shop. It's bit smaller than a small milk carton. 

Other Supplies I used:

Pom Pom Ribbon from Walmart, Googly Eyes from stash, M&M's Fall Candy, Ranger Archival Ink Jet Black, Staz On Pumpkin Ink, COPICS, Sharpie Pens, American Crafts 6x6 BOO! Paper Pad and Craft Smith Neutrals 12x12 Paper Pad.

I also wanted to do a project with a vintage feel. So, I went a little batty with 

the Cupcake Holder again!

Here I used the Cupcake Holder from SVGA Sweet Shop Party Collection and Pink & Main Punkin Stamp Set to make this spooky house. I did resize the cut file so the house would be about 6.5 inches tall at the highest point. I cut the shutters free from the window panes. I wanted them to look old, like they are falling off the house. You can use this for any number of things, candy, cookies, cupcakes, candles and more.

Other Supplies I used:

Ranger Archival Ink Jet Black, AC Twine and Kraft Paper from stash, The Paper Studio Jeepers Creepers 12x12 Paper Pad, Martha Stewart Halloween 12x12 paper(inside) and Martha Stewart Spider Web punch from stash.

Time For A Cup Of Tea with SVG Attic

TGIF everyone! I'm so excited to share this adorable

Tea Cup/Tea Gift Box I made using  

SVG ATTIC'S SWEET SHOP PARTY

CUPCAKE HOLDER! 

I used the teacup from SVG Attic's Mom's English Garden Set and at the moment it is not available.
 It's being reworked to make it more compatible with your machines.
 However, keep checking SVG Attic's site for it.

 A little peek inside.

Okay, first let me say this.....I was blown away by

the size of this cupcake holder. I wasn't thinking full size cupcakes.

I was thinking mini, I don't know why. I figured if nothing else, I would use the cupcake holder

turned Tea Shop to gift the tea and wrap the cup/saucer separately.

No need, the box is big enough!

I was a little intimidated when I first started looking at the cupcake holder.

I know, it looks like it would take some time! I'm hear to tell you, it doesn't.

All I did was cut out the pieces using two cutting mats. I assembled as

I cut. I let the paper do all the work for me. So, literally, I cut and glued.

I just made sure to have my supplies and file organized before I started.

 I layered the bottom for stability with two layers of paper and one layer

corrugated paper. I punched two holes for ribbon to close and added the tag.

This is the cup from Mom's English Garden Set. 

If you have ever wanted to try this cupcake holder and shied away from it,

go for it! It's easy peasy! And the possibilities are endless!  You will be seeing

me use it again and again!
