Welcome back teacher!

We have already been in school for a week and a half here in Hawaii. I wanted to give the teacher a little something to welcome her back this year. I was so very excited to find out tht my sons teacher is his kindergarden teacher, she is such a sweet lady! I made her some little monogrammed note cards and a paper back pack to hold them. the not cards are 2.5" x 2.5" just big enough for her to write a quick not to a parent or another teacher. the lined paper came from the High School mat stack. I got the apple from CAC and it was cut at 1.5" I then used the letter L from car decals and welded it inside the apple layer for the monogramme. I added sme brown glitter for a little pop. The stamp sentiment came from PBD. My cute little back back cme from a template off of splitcoaststampers.com. I did have to enlarge it a bit to hold the cards and envelopes. The paper for it came from the Black Currant stack. I hope you enjoy this fun little project and try one for yourelf.

Argh....

I had lots of fun making this card. No cricut used here... GASP..lol... It was fun to sit down and color a stamp, relaxing and quiet.  The stamp is from Kraftin Kimmie and I used Prisma Colors and Gamsol to color it in. The background paper is DCWV Once Upon a Time. I ripped the edges and inked it to try and give it an older map feel. I then hand drew on the dotted lines, small island and an "X" to mark the spot. The sentiment comes from Pink by Design. TFL.

Play ball!

A friend asked if I could make her a card for her son's baseball coach and cupcake wrappers for the end of year party. I made a quick card using Sports Mania Cart and Pink by Design stamps. This is a 6x6in card, I took a scrap piece of white paper and stamped on the bat and ball to create a boarder. I then cut the ball player at 4" and put him on pop dots. Everything is done in navy blue, gray and white.. his team is the Padres. I used Life's a Party for the cupcake wrappers. I used my Gypsy for this as I wanted a solid wrapper as well as the imaged wrapper. TFL..

A little karate.....

I made this card for a birthday we had this past weekend. I am really pleased with the way it turned out. I was going for that old karate movie poster feel where you see an image 3-4 times in a kick. I don't have the exact cut size I was in a bit of a hurry but I believe it was some where around 3", I used the Sports Mania Cart. I cut the karate figure 3 times and place the first directly on the paper, the second on one set of pop dots and then the third on two pop dots. I used a pink by design stamp for the happy birthday and that was it.  TFL

An apple a day

Today is last last day for teacher appreciation. I thought I would make some monogrammed note cards for my son's teacher. Her last name begins with a 'A' so I found it only fitting to use an apple, and then made one for each day of the week. I used CAC for the apple and hide the face and cut it out at 3". The 'A' came from Car Decals. I then welded the 'A' into the apple ans cite it out and assembled the layers. I added some brown glitter just for a little something extra. The paper clip paper is from a school days stack that came from Micheal's (i think). I also need a cute box to put everything in, I used a tutorial from splitcoaststampers for the A2 box. I cut another apple at 4.25" and used a sentiment from Pink by Design. Simple yet personal project that took very little time. TFL!

 

Teacher you're tree-rific!

So for today's teacher gift it was bring in your teacher's favorite fruit. My son's teacher likes Tangerines. I thought it would be super cute to stick a bunch of them into a vase cut out a huge tree since they grow on trees and make it look like the tangerines had fallen from the tree. I used Pink by Design stamps for the sentiments. The tree was cut at 9.5" from Country Life and then I stuck the tree on a skewer so that it would stay in the vase. I finished it off with some ribbon I had in my ribbon bag. TFL

Thanks a Latte

So next week starts teacher appreciation week at school. I have so many cute projects that I can't wait to share. This card is a gift card holder that was made from a 6x6 card. I cut the coffee cup on the front at 3.25in from Wall Decore and More and then pop dotted it. The sentiment is from Pink by Design. For the inside I created the pocket for the gift card from the cup sleeve, soooo cute! The THANKS and A LATTE were created in my Gypsy using the Storybook Font. I used Martha Stewart glitter on the A LATTE in the teachers favorite color, it doesn't show well in the picture but it is purple. This was a fun card to make and I can't wait for my son to give it to his teacher!

Make a Wish

We had a b-day party this afternoon and I wanted to share the card I made. The background stamp is from Pink by Design, I am in LOVE with it! I embossed it with sparkle powder to give it some extra glam. The cupcake is from Rock Princess and was cut at 3" from some of my scrap paper.  This was a pretty simple card that I think came out really cute!
