Teacher Contacts Clutch- a modern version rolodex!
With a Timeless twist
Nichole has challenged her design team to come up with some great Teacher gift ideas for you to use this holiday season. She has an AMAZING set releasing called Teacher’s Apple. Its the CUTEST set-ever! Let me just tell you I had to make a concious decision to STOP using it. I kid you not. What a GREAT time of year to release a teacher set!!! The images, and especially the sentiments are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!
I know this is the time of year I focus on teachers, and make teacher gifts. I never make anything at the start of the school year, and by Christmas, anything I did buy is long forgotten. So yes, November is a great month to release this set IMO.
I loved the challenge because it made me get started on my teacher gifts early this year-YEAH!
Given the fact I have 3 kids, and each has NUMEROUS teachers, I try my best to make each one something every year, never repeating the same gifts. Always gotta top last year! LOL! I hope they like what I have planned, and you do as well!
Ever go shopping and see something, and the light-bulb goes off?
Well that is what happened to me!
I was at Staples, and I knew I needed some “stuff”. (I always need stuff) I walked by one section and came across these “Rolodex” type of index card inserts. Cost a WHOPPING $2.99!!!!!!!!!!
Well there went the light! I checked the size on them and YES! not only would they fit in my NEW! Purse-onality Clutch, but they would fit PERFECTLY!!! HAPPY DANCE!!
Contact’s Clutch open
So I flew home, printed my template, cut and score, and YEAH!! They DID fit in my Purse-onality Clutch © In just a few minutes, this is what I had done.
This little beauty is going to be able to sit right on every teachers desk, every year! The teacher’s can file their parents or other personal contact info and keep it handy. Remove and change out what need’s to be, yearly.
Isn’t it cute? I loved the idea, and the fact I can use my own template is a HUGE bonus and TIME SAVER 😀
Supplies:
My Timeless Template-Purse-onality Clutch
Stamps- Teachers Apple, Recipe Box Label, Simple Alphabet
Cardstock– Pure Poppy, White, Ripe Avocado
Ink-dark chocolate, black, pure poppy, ripe avocado
ribbon- stitched ripe avocado
other- paint can handle, large brads, Rolodex cards
Be sure to check in on the design team.
I am sure you will find your light-bulb moment!
Thanks again for reading! Feel free to share your thoughts 😀

I knew if I stayed up long enough I’d be ‘wowed’ (Is that a word?)
I was just thinking of teacher gifts too. Go figure! 🙂
I love your Roladex! It’s perfect! One question – how did you do the handle? Did you take it from a paint can or something similar?
I am so looking forward to seeing all of this set!
Great job, Lauren!
Hugs!
