Die Cuttin' Divas Back To School Challenge


It's hard for me to believe, but my grandkids have already gone back to school today!

What happened to the days when you didn't go back to school until after labor day?

Seems like they should be swimming instead of cooped up in a classroom in the heat. Oh well!

Since it's Tuesday we have a new challenge for you over at Die Cuttin' Divas.

This week our challenge is back to school.





.










I made some pencil holders for my grandchildren to take to their teachers as back to school gifts.







The cut file is from Silhouette Studio and is called 3D TEACHER PENCIL HOLDER GIFT
by Jamie Cripps
Design ID #58487





To print the teachers name I created the names in my print shop program and then used double sided tape to attach the cut flags to the printed paper, over the names, and then ran it back through the printer,





Supplies used: card stock - white, red, yellow, 2 shades of green; pattern papers by Doodlebug, Lawn Fawn and Authentique; magnetic clip by Pebbles; Market tags by I kan'dee; Print Shop program; twine by May Arts; Silhouette Studio cut file.
