Tea-Riffic Teacher // Teacher Appreciation Week

14 · · 2 Comments

Time to celebrate our Teachers! It’s Teacher Appreciation Week and my daughter Emily and I have come up with a simple and fun idea for your tea loving teachers out there…

You're-Tea-Riffic-Teacher-printable-4

 

Emily’s teacher has been a wonderful support for her this year and we wanted to do something special for her this week.  Emily mentioned that she loved tea, so I thought it would be fun to create a tea themed gift. We headed over to Starbucks and bought one of those $1.00 reusable cups and then made a fun new label for the cup.

You can print the cup label on adhesive label paper or Silhouette has a printable adhesive kraft paper that I just LOVE! Print out a sheet and cut out your labels and stick them to the cup. It’s as simple as that. We also added a Starbucks gift card and a box of her favorite tea. It’s a fun yet simple gift idea that any tea loving teacher will love.

Tomorrow I’ll share a cup label that you can use for your tea loving mother. Yep, that will be two birds with one stone!  Plus, I’ll have a fabulous Mother’s Day giveaway that I KNOW you won’t want to miss.

+ Moms, Dads & Grads Pinterest Party AND Printable Mother’s Day Gift Idea +

You're-blooming-brilliant-free-printable-from-#whipperberry-3

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and now’s the time to start planning. My Mom is an avid gardener so when I saw these cute gardening tools at Target I immediately thought of my Mom. I know that many Moms out there are big fans of the garden arts, so I thought I would make up a cute gift tag to go along with any type of gardening gift!

You're-Blooming-Brilliant-Gift-Tag

It has a bit of a British ring to it and I just fell in love with the idea of a fun watercolor type card. You can even print it on textured paper and it would look like you added a little water color flair to your gift tag. If the green doesn’t work for your gift, I am also offering it in just the basic black and white as well.

You can download the free printable gift tag HERE!

Now all you have to do is find a fun garden themed gift and add this fun tag and you’re set with a fabulous gift for your Mom!!

Easter Buddies + An Easter Pinterest Party

0 · · 3 Comments

// Easter Buddies with Free Printable // 

Easter-Egg-Animals-with-free-printable-2

I have decided that when it comes to candy and all around cuteness… Easter is my favorite holiday.  I mean really, Cadbury Mini Eggs, Jelly Beans, Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs, Cadbury Creme Eggs, black jelly beans, the list could go on and on. Not to mention all of the cute basket of Easter goodies that they have available at the stores these days.

I’m a sucker for fun plastic eggs and I found this CUTE set of animal Easter eggs at Target and thought it would be perfect little goodie for my kiddos. I could add a fun curled up message along with the candy inside, add some feet to the bottom of the plastic eggs and they turn them into something extra special…

This project is super quick and with my free printable, you can make them up in a snap! Here’s what you will need…

Supply List

Instructions

First,  you will need to print the free printable sayings on just your basic printer paper…

Easter-Buddy's-Printables-from-#whipperberry

You can download the printable HERE.

Once you have that printed, you will need to use scissors or a paper cutter to cut out the strips and then curl them around a pencil…

Next cut out some small 1- 1 1/2 inch hearts to use as the feet for your little animal eggs…

Easter-Egg-Animals-with-free-printable-13

I used my Cricut Explore, but you could easily use any cutting machine or free hand it as well.  Then you will use your Elmer’s Craft Bond foam circles to affix the feet to the egg. These little foam adhesives are PERFECT for this project.

They have just the right amount of hold to keep those little buddies standing strait without hardly any fuss.  And just like that, you’re a rock star!

Valentine’s Day Popcorn Pops

2 · · 4 Comments

Hello Whipperberry friends!  Jenn here again from Clean and Scentsible.  It seems like Christmas was just yesterday but Valentine's Day will be here before you know it!  Today I'm sharing these fun Valentine's Day popcorn pops with you – they're a quick and easy way to spread a little love!

Valentine's Day popcorn pops with free printables!

Ingredients

  • 8 cups popped popcorn {this is approximately 5 tbsp. of unpopped kernals}
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • red food coloring
  • 3/4 -1 cup Smarties {these are the Canadian Smarties which are similar to M&Ms in the States!}

Valentine's Day popcorn pops with free printables!

Directions

  • Pop the popcorn and place it in a large bowl {I actually ended up using 2 bowls so I had more mixing space}
  • Heat the marshmallows, butter, and salt in a large heavy saucepan over medium to low heat stirring continuously until the marshmallows are melted.  Add food coloring by drops to make your desired pink color.  I just wanted mine a faint pink so I only used about 5-6 drops.
  • Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn gradually, mixing it well.  You can use a greased spoon to do this but I found that it was easiest to grease my hands with butter to mix. {The butter should help to protect your hands from the heat but make sure it is not too hot!} Add the candy.
  • Shape into balls or use a heart shaped cookie cutter if you would like to do hearts.  If you are using the cookie cutter, grease the inner borders and press the popcorn inside the cookie cutter until your shape is formed. Press popcorn firmly together once the cookie cutter is removed to hold.
  • Insert sucker sticks.  For mine I used the basic sucker stick and then added a paper straw over top of it to give it extra strength.
  • Wrap each ball in plastic wrap.  Makes approximately 8 {3 inch diameter} balls.

Valentine's Day popcorn pops with free printables!

There are lots of fun ways that you could package them up – add some baker's twine, tie them up in a cellophane bag, or add a cupcake liner and some washi tape!  Feel free to get creative – I always find that the packaging is the best part! 🙂
