Simple & Quick Birthday Gift

Do you ever find yourself needing a really quick birthday gift?  Last week was my sons kindergarten teachers birthday.  I remembered late the night before that I wanted to put something together for her.  She is seriously the BEST kindergarten teacher out there!! (Okay, I’m sure there are a lot of great Kindergarten teachers out there, but this is the one we love at our school.)  A month or two ago I had to take my son in for the Kindergarten testing they do periodically, and the teacher left out some kids projects and a few other things for parents to look at during the testing.  One of the papers happened to have the teachers birthday and her favorite treat on it, so I made note of it. 🙂

I learned that her favorite treat is popcorn, so I decided to make this cute Matchbox from the Tags, Bags, Boxes & More cartridge and my Cricut Expression.  I just measured how big the bags of microwave popcorn were and using Cricut Craft Room, sized my box accordingly.

I designed the fun sentiment for the top of the box, using the Don Juan, All Mixed Up, and Celebrations cartridges.  I used pop up dimension squares to lift the word birthday up a little bit.

On the end of the box where there are little holes, I looped some bakers twine through them and then added a chipboard tag that I added some washi tape to.  I had my son sign his name and we were done.

This was such a quick project, the thing that took the longest was picking out the fonts and designing the files to cut.  I’ve saved it tho, so I can cut it out again if I need to. 🙂  Do you give anything to your kids teachers for their birthdays?
