Cute Christmas Pillow Boxes for Giving Teachers the perfect Gift {Samantha Walker Blog Hop!}

Yes, folks, it's time for the Samantha Walker December blog hop and we have some FABULOUS inspiration to share with you all along the way this time around! Samantha is giving away one of her fabulous digital Scrapbook Kits so be sure to leave comments all along the way for your chance to win that!!! If you came from Samantha's blog you have already started!!! YAY!!! If not, it's only ONE hop back, so fee free to jump on over there to get in on ALL the fun!

For today I decided to give you a little non-Christmassy Christmas inspiration! That's right...it doesn't all have to be trees, reindeer, and Santa Claus! I created a couple of super cute pillow boxes to give gift cards to teachers. As the wife of a teacher and a former teacher myself, there are two perfect gifts to give a teacher - gift cards or classroom supplies! They don't cause clutter and they are always useful!

Teacher Gift Pillow Boxes


These are both created with the Samantha Walker A to Z line by Creative Imaginations! I love this line!!! It is so fun and the imagery in it just makes me happy! I used the papers, cut with Sally the Cricut's Art Philosophy Cartridge (that's her favorite one) into the pillow box shape and then I embellished them with the stickers from the line! I LOVE IT! The twine is May Arts.

I'll be honest...I had a hard time cutting those papers on that second one. I just LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!!!!!!

Now it's time to head on to Guiseppa's blog to continue on this fabulous hop!!! Happy Wednesday!!!
