A+ Teacher!

MFT PencilBox wm

In 2012, MFT is working harder than ever to inspire you, and we have come up with something we think you'll really enjoy. Our Design Team Creative Challenge is a new monthly feature, where we challenge our design team to explore their creative side using a specific theme, product or technique. 

This month we are making " a teacher themed project" Be sure to check the MFT Blog for a list of all the designers who have creative ideas  for you today!

For my project I decided to use MFT Stamps à la modes Talk Nerdy to Me and also à la modes You Rule to decorate a Pencil Box that I created using my new Sizzix Eclips and ECAL program.

I have made one of these pencils a few years back and last time I had to do it all by hand, but this time round I found it easy to convert the PDF file to a cutting file using the ECAL program. I decided this time round to all add the eraser to the end of the pencil and the silver band to match the pencil that the à la modes girl was holding.

I have added some pens in my box, but of course you could fill it with anything … chocolate, pens, pencils whatever a teacher might need.
