Teacher you make life SWEET!

Hey there my crafty friends is bloggie land,  this is teacher appreciation week at my son's school and I truly feel blessed that my son has such an amazing teacher and aide.. So, I have a couple of goodies I'm making them this week and today I wanted to share one of them (Yes, I said "a few").. Well, I decided to cruise Pinterest  the other day for inspiration and I can across a few fun ideas.. The one that inspired this project was a insulated cup filled with Crystal Light packets and a tag with a pun on it.... So, here's what I came up with:

 On my tag stamped (using the Peach Keen  PK-104 What Time is it?? background stamp) and
 heat embossed the green background.. The cute face on my apple  was stamped 
with the Peachy Keen PK-293 The Cornies Assortment stamps..

 The sentiment was made using 2 of Joy's Life Stamps .. 
The apple is from the "Give a Hoot" cart..

I found the cups at Wal-Mart for $2 for both of them..
 I used E.A.D. Designs vinyl ( which I love), Sesame Street Font (name), 
StoryBook (marque), &  Plantin SchoolBook (apple)..

Here's the photo I was inspired by: 

Supplies I used:

* Cricut carts: Sesame Street Font , StoryBook, Plantin SchoolBook, & Give a Hoot
*Everyday Occasions stamps & Yummy Puns Stamps   ( Joy's Life Stamps)
*Vinyl  (E.A.D. Designs)  
*Ink 
*Embossing Powder (clear) 
*Heat Gun
* Pens (white & black)
*1 1/2" circle punch
*Peppermint Stick by Trendy Twine
*Insulated Cups 
*Crystal Light Singles
*Clear Baggies
*Water Bottles
