Teachers' gifts - Salted Caramel Sauce

 Our kids have many teachers and it is hard making 15 gifts sometimes.  This worked out well for us.  I used an incredible recipe I found at Brown Eyed Baker for Salted Caramel her instructions are easy to follow and the results are fantastic.  I used a third of the salt because I used a coarse sea salt and it worked better for us.

The labels were made in Photoshop (Word will do) and punched using a Recollections Label punch from Michael's with 40% coupon.

The mason jars were purchased at Bed Bath and Beyond with a 20% coupon.

The labels were made in Inkscape and I attached a PDF version for you (without the stamp) in pink, blue, mixed and B&W.

The stamp  is "Brother and Sister" from Magnolia Stamps, colored with Copics and stamped with Memento ink.  If you don't want to go through coloring all the labels you can use any stamp and B&W will still look very nice!  Or use an image and print.

Save money on Craft Tools!

Do you love crafting but hate spending money on expensive tools?

Crafters!  I am so excited to share a few huge finds with you!

I just started adding a bunch of clay pins to my board and I love all the possibilities but really can't afford the expensive tools, I am sure they are fantastic but even with a 40% coupon at Michael's they run you about $15!

I was looking at Amazon for a few things and this is when I stumbled accross these tools: How awesome are they and how CHEAP!!!

I am putting links to everything so that you can just click and purchase yourself through my link.  The shipping was either $0 or $1 since I know you can love an item for cheap but the shipping kills ya!

So I purchased stylus tools, fondant tools and nail art tools.  So get this... if you call it a Clay tool it runs you about $10 but if you search for nail art... Boom!  Super cheap!!!  You cannot afford to NOT get it!!!  I also put the links for the little detail, how cute will they look in polymer clay art?  I don't think you should bake them in though, maybe push them in and take out then use glue to set them after baked.  Will try and let you know!

I am so excited and will let you know when they show up!  Will add pictures too!
