Pencil & Apple? Another Teacher Card!

I had die cut the Mini Alphabet die with Real Red because I was making a Valentine’s card. When I was done, I looked at the negative die cut and thought it would make a cute teacher card.

In the Delightfully Electric DSP (retiring), there’s sheets that are like notebook paper. Perfect!

I stamped the pencil (retiring) and the apple (retiring) with Memento. I fussy cut and colored with Blends:

  • Pencil
    • Eraser: Dark Petal Pink
    • Ferrule (the metal part below the eraser): Smoky Slate
    • Body: Dark Daffodil Delight
    • Wood: Light Crumb Cake, Color Lifter, Medium Light ML800
    • Lead: Light Basic Black
  • Apple
    • Real Red
    • Light Mossy Meadow
    • Dark Crumb Cake

I stamped the “thanks” with Memento and die cut with the Stylish Shapes.

For the “A+” I die cut the “A” with the Mini Alphabet. For the “+” I used an old cross punch and cut it so it was a plus sign.

If you like this card and want to buy it, let me know. I can make several!

Bird’s Eye View for Teachers!

I made these cards yesterday- I thought they would be perfect for teachers!

I cut my paper to 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″. I then stamped the new Sketched Plaid stamp. On one card it’s Balmy Blue, the other is Crumb Cake.  Everything else is the same. I think I like the Crumb Cake a little better, my I change my mind constantly!

After stamping, I then used the dies from Gorgeously Made for the top of bottom of the cardstock. It looks like the edge of notebook paper!

The birds and books were stamped with Memento and colored with Blends. The birds were colored with the Medium Blends. Books are Real Red, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight and the pages are Ivory.

The “thanks” is from Biggest Wish.  I stamped with Real Red.
